How difficult are popeye dolls to make? The master class will tell you about this. With proper patience and creativity, you will receive an original toy for a child or a plain gift for loved ones.
Where do popeye dolls start? A master class (absolutely any) will give you a clear answer: from the search for the necessary materials. A synthetic winterizer, nylon tights (flesh-colored, whole and clean), flaps of bright fabrics and, of course, a needle with threads are required. Hair needs knitting yarn. In this case, acrylic threads are best suited. As a frame, wire and a plastic bottle are used.
Now we will consider how popiki dolls are born from these materials. The master class, like the work of a professional, begins and the manufacture of the head. When it is ready, it is easier to make the frame and other details. Body size should match the length of the handle of the pupa. The bottle cage is made for a sitting "pop", wire - for hanging. Having created the head and other details, you can safely begin sewing clothes. It all depends on your imagination, tastes and for whom and for what reason you are making a souvenir.
And now more about the production of such a miracle as pop-dolls, the master class of which is quite simple to learn. As mentioned earlier, you need to start from the head, or rather, from the nose. For him, you roll a ball from sintepon, string it with a thread and a needle and form it on the "face". Then, adding another padding polyester, create cheeks, forehead, chin in the same way. In order to form the neck of the pupa, you need to bandage it under the head with a rope from tights. Mouth and eyes give the desired facial expression to the ass. You can embroider eyes, you can sew on buttons or buy ready-made eyes in the store. For naturalness, we make eyelids from pieces of tights and sew them to the appropriate place.
All the “irregularities” that inevitably appear during all the stages of MK: pop-dolls, for example, on the back of the head, are perfectly hidden by a wig of thread, a hat, a scarf, or any other means. Next, the body is made using the frame and a stocking stretched over it. The proportions of the parts must strictly correspond to each other, as already mentioned above. If the frame is made of wire, then wrap it with threads or synthetic winterizer so that it does not break through the nylon sheath.
The same thing is done with arms and legs. By the way, even if you are making a frame from a bottle, then your arms / legs should be made of wire. When it is well wrapped, we stretch the tights and form the limbs, the body. All parts must be sewn together. When the body is ready, you can start sewing clothes.
Separately, it should be said about the "decor", which is always impressive popeye dolls. With your own hands, you can and should work out every little thing perfectly. But that is not all. There are many ways to add a special naughty charm that distinguishes these dolls from other souvenirs. To do this, you can use jewelry, but without fanaticism. And you can lightly tint the doll: cheeks, eyelids, lips - that is, apply the usual “make-up”, which will add some piquancy and playfulness to the image, give it character.
If you wish, and with some experience, you can create these funny souvenirs with your own hands without any problems, without spending fabulous money and a huge amount of time for making a doll.
