I made a tutorial! Hopefully this is useful to somebody out there. This method would also be useful for modding other “plug connector” heads onto much nicer bodies.

How to take care of a doll (as written by a doll)

let's talk about doll houses for a sec! You might think any old dollhouse would work for a doll, but you'd be wrong. Depending on the size of the doll, you'd need a house to accommodate their size. DO NOT USE AN OPEN PLAYSET DOLLHOUSE FOR A DOLL!!

Dolls love their privacy, due to how they often feel shy. (Not every doll is shy, but it is a common trait.) This is why even though Barbie Dreamhouses are an adequate size for smaller dolls, they are not recommended for them. You can modify the houses of course, but it's better to just find a better dollhouse.

For palm/12 inch dolls, a regular hinged dollhouse should work. Typically, you'd want those semi realistic wooden dollhouses. If you get one bare with no finish, as the doll what color they'd like it to be! After that, open up the dollhouse and make sure there's no splinters or harsh points on the wooden floors. Sand them down if there are.

After this, your doll is going to want to decorate the inside. Let them paint the walls (with supervision) by giving them a paint brush and small cap of paint. If it looks like they need help, ask them first. If they want carpet, you can use fake fur and a glue gun. Help them lay the carpet though, and be sure to was the glue from their hands afterwards.

Now comes a fun project: making furniture! That's right. Making the furniture. After all, most dollhouse furniture is made of plastic, and that's not very comfortable to sit on, now is it? Calico Critter furniture would be a good idea…but only if the doll is small enough to fit it, which is very rare.

Therefore, it's arts and crafts time! You can follow most blueprints you'd follow for diy furniture, just miniaturize it. Use wood for a sturdy base, and foam to cushion it. But do not forget to add some fabric to it! Something soft and inviting for the doll. Like fleece. Once the furniture is ready, place it inside.

Now, let's move on to dolls 2'/4'.

What can you use for their house? Those house play sets you see on playgrounds could work! Now, you can use two play houses to enlarge the space (about four or five feet overall should work.), combining them together. Or you can use wooden planks to build one from scratch.

For furniture, you can use those silly tiny recliners and tiny tables that seem to only be decoration. Or, like previously discussed, you can build it from scratch. Same tip applies here, you can use regular diy blueprints for it.

for now, that's everything about dollhouses! Next time, I'll discuss beds for the doll and their typical diet!

i want this so bad

In addition to the Barbie playline Halloween toys, there have been a number of Kelly dolls and friends of Kelly themed around Halloween. And of course, this makes a lot of sense - many of the best traditions of Halloween are for children.

Happy Halloween Barbie & Kelly from 1997 shows Barbie taking Kelly trick or treating while Kelly is dressed as a pumpkin. I did in fact see a pumpkin costume for small humans today while out shopping so I can confirm this is a longstanding tradition.

Halloween Fun Barbie & Kelly in 1999 had Barbie and Kelly in matching leopard costumes, as well as apparently shadow puppets for the kids to play with.

This 1999 collection also contained a Li'l Friends of Kelly collection. My favourite of these costumes is Tommy in the bottom corner as a skeleton.

Kelly Merry Monsters was a Target exclusive series from 2009; Kelly herself was a pink-themed vampire.

Her friends Kayla and Miranda were Frankenstein's Monster and the Bride of Frankenstein which I think is an odd choice. These weren't particularly topical in 2009 to my knowledge, and I think it's an unusual choice for Mattel to put two children of the same gender in a matching couples costume.

Even after Kelly changed her name to Chelsea, there have been additional Halloween themed dolls in her doll line.

We see a great many similarities in costumes again - for example, in these two sets pictured above, there are two different variants on a ghost costume. I would be tempted to say it's a reused costume, but the ghost has a different expression on the otherwise very similar costume.

My favourite is the middle one here where she is a cute little bee!

I finally decorated my dream ita/doll bag!

Actually made more than the inserts, but that’s because the base bag wasn’t the best.. the inserts are the fun part!

Made one that is the interior space, and one that’s a change of scenery so I have a total of 3 views out that window ^^

A Sylvanian Holiday Gathering

Some of the families of Sylvania have gathered for the Christmas tree lighting. But where is Daisy Maple?
