My custom girl I made from a neighbors old doll, and a dress from once upon a child! 💖

My first time customizing so I just curled her hair, added freckles and details with watercolor pencil, lashes and pierced her nose and ears!

Here she is in the smallest curlers I could find! I learned a bit about how to take care of her hair better for next time.

Her hair had a lot of volume even after trying to tame it a bit so I put it in her little buns!

It was a learning process for sure but I’ve already started making wefts from scratch to make a wig for another doll 😭

This custom doll of my sister’s has had matted hair for going on about two years at this point.

I was getting sad seeing this poor doll in the corner, so I decided to try and fix her wig.

I’m incredibly happy with the final result!! It took two weeks of motivation and work, but I think it was worth it.

This doll now lives in my room, so here’s hoping she won’t need another extended spa week anytime soon.
