Hair Accessories DIYCYA

Are you wondering what DIYCYA means? Well, let me tell you! :) DIYCYA is Do It Yourself 'Cuz You're Awesome!

DIYCYA: HAIR ACCESSORIES

I love push-ups, and I always thought there was something I could use the bottom for. And so, here comes the DIYCYA!

 You will need:

A hot glue gun
scrap-book tape {optional}
flower or something to put on the push-up bottom
push-up bottom 

 Using your hot glue gun, put a small swirl of glue on your push-up bottom.

 Put your flower on top and press.

 I didn't just use only crochet flowers, I also used fabric flowers!

 For this type of fabric flower, you will need:
Fabric petals
glue gun
scrap-book tape {optional}
push-up bottom

 Place a small drop of glue on your push-up bottom, and press a petal on it. Place a small drop of glue on the petal, and press the next petal on it. If you are using different colored petals, use the next color.

 Repeat until you have used the rest of your petals, or until you are done.

 They are almost done!

 Using your scrap book tape, tape it around the sides of the push-up bottom.

 If your scrap book tape is too big, like mine, you could cut it, or fold it over to the inside side.

   This is what it looks like it my hair! You can't see the scrap-book tape, but it adds a nice touch. :)
If you do this, be sure to tell me, and add the link! :)

 

P.S. I might be interested in selling some AG dolls and clothes! Any suggestions for where to sell {EX: Amazon, Ebay...}, or tips? :)

Oh, Joy

Forget I ever said I wouldn't post until next month. :P
Anyhow, something important and exciting did happen!

 

 What was in the package, you ask? Britt!

 Britt is a BFC INK doll. I had heard a few bad things about her hair, but I decided to take the risk. :)

 Back of the box.

 Back of the box.

 IT WAS SO HARD TO GET BRITT OUT OF THE BOX!!!
Britt is very sensitive about her hair... it has this 'paste-y' thing in it. When I brushed it it looked like dandruff. :p Thankfully one tiny wash and it was out!

 Britt's eyes are a blueish grayish color, and her black hair has a red tint to it.
Her hair is very thin in places, so sometimes it looks like poor Britt is going bald.

 She tried on my Doll Diaries tee-shirt!

 Her ears come pierced, but without earrings.

 This is her shoe compared to an AG shoe. It is much thinner, shaped, and just a bit longer.

 Britt's dress is really an AG shirt! It needed to be pinned in the back.

 Britt can wear AG earrings. Her piercing hole is about as big as an AG's.

 She's very photogenic....

 She came with this. I'm not sure what it will do; I haven't found out yet.

 She was too happy about the apple, until she found out it was plastic!

 Her shoe seems to be a little big.

Going away to find some real food... 

Britt has painted on underwear, like Barbies (at least most Barbies... :O). She has a developed figure, if you're wondering.

She's much thinner than AGs, but she's just as tall. 

I am very happy with Britt! She's a beautiful doll, I suggest her for older doll collectors. She might be a little frustrating for younger ones.

Interview with the Spicys!

Woah, I've been on a roll! Today I'm interviewing The Spicys!

1. How did you find out about American Girl?

Kay Jun: That was pretty much back in the dinosaur age, so I don't remember totally. I think my grandma sent me a catalog.

 

Holly Pino: I don't remember! It was around when I was six or seven when I really got interested in them.

2.Who was the first Spicy, and why?


 Kay Jun's first Spicy was Samantha (Not featured as one of the Spicy Six.) She choose her because she like the time period she came from. Holly Pino's first Spicy was a GOTZ doll, who ironically was very similar in looks to Samantha. Those were the very first Spicys, and we will always love them forever!

 3. Which Spicy blogs the most?

Kay Jun blogs most on The Spicys, but we try and keep it fairly even. We both have personal blogs, and Holly posts more on her blog.

4. Do you have any other blog(s)?

As we said above, we both have personal blogs . We have both been blogging for several years on diffrent blogging platforms.

5. Do you make your own doll clothes (or have you ever tried)?

Holly Pino used to make doll clothes quite often! She has not in recent years but she used to be quite good. Kay Jun has never really "completed" an outfit for her dolls before, but she hopes to soon!

hope you enjoyed,

The Doll World Photography

I decided today would be a good day to take photos with my old friend, iPad.

 I added my own little signature thingy. I feel so awesome! ;)

 This might be the prettiest photo, I think.

 She's sleep-hugging the flowers next to her. :)

 If you think this hairstyle is pretty I'd be more than happy to do a tutorial on it. It's a bit harder then it looks.... You should see the sides...
(I just noticed now I spelled photography wrong... ;p)

My mom found this today out of the blue. It's from a retired swimsuit outfit from AG.

 

P.S. What do you think of this?
