In a perfect world I would have been able to find a poseable 1:6 scale Santa doll for Barbie play. But not in my world... Even if I opted to pay crazy money for the Coke Hospitality Santa, he comes with brown boots and gloves? The Ricky Ricardo Santa is thin, Rubeus Hagrid Santa is $350??? And I'm not a collector folks, I like to use my dolls for pics. So I started with an action figure doll thrift store rescue, and dug out the Christmas props box to see what I already had... Please stop by Happier Than A Pig in mud to see the transformation:@)
Make something just for fun and have a happy day🎅
He looks great! I have done something similar with wine bottle decorators in a Santa jacket for my dolls. The holidays are a great time to find things for your dolls. Many stores that don’t carry decorations normally will have them for the holidays and many are doll size. I am always on the hunt this time of year and tend to leave no store unexplored! That includes thrift store where you might find a sled for Santa. I love to see what others have found for their dolls in stores and where. So please keep us informed!
ReplyDeleteI have painted the hair white or gray for my dolls too. I did it because I wanted older dolls and not just teens or twentysomething dolls. Older dolls have interesting lives too!
Finally, I think we live in the same general area. A great place for inspiration and to find a few things is the Byer’s Choice store and Christmas shop in Chalfont (4355 County Line Rd, Chalfont, PA) They have wonderful large holiday scene/diorama displays! They have a show where they sell their item on the premise. They have online and in person sales. Some things may be discounted in the shop. Cousin Rube might find inspiration there.
Howdy, I haven't been to Byer's, just knew it was close because of QVC:@) Thanks for the info!
DeleteHo ho ho!! Santa looks great, Lynn!
