Master class "Dolls from foamiran"

It all starts with a plan. The first step is to come up with an image or find a suitable one among the many photographs of beauties made by the hands of hand-made masters. Then prepare everything you need and take onjob.

The most technically difficult will be the legs (feet with shoes) and the head. But to create a doll from foamiran, this master class with a step-by-step photo will greatly facilitate the task. Here you need to gently heat the body foamiran on the iron and pull it onto the foam blanks. The balls for the legs must be cut, as shown in the figure, and glued together. With a piece of heated skin-colored foamiran, tightly fit the workpiece and cut off the edges. Cut out the details of the sandals and glue the feet.

A little patience and you will get wonderful foamiran dolls. The master class will describe step by step all the stages of this process.

Then, sticks or pieces of wire (slightly longer than the length of the leg) should be wrapped with pieces of bodily foamiran and stuck with one side into the foot, the other into the cone of the body. Glue the joints.

Cut and glue the details of the dress and jewelry, make handles according to the pattern and glue everything together.

The handles can simply be cut and glued, then they will turn out flat and lie neatly along the body. And you can make the handles voluminous, like legs. To do this, you need a wire of such length as the hand should be and a little more. Glue the cut out palm on one edge, wrap the entire wire with a piece of foamiran in several turns, leaving a slightly protruding tip on the opposite side of the palm. The handle is ready, it can be stuck into the body, glued and bent as you like. In the hands of a dollyou can give a bouquet, a handbag or anything, or you can just leave it without anything.

After we proceed to the head. This is a crucial moment. Skin-colored foamiran needs to be warmed up and stretched on half of the ball, try to stretch it a little more beyond the line indicating half on the ball itself. Trim the edges. In the same way we make hair on the back of the ball. We glue the joints and decorate the hairstyle as indicated in the pictures or as you wish. You can weave braids from the cut out strips of foamiran, or you can wind the strips on a pencil or pen and heat it on an iron, you get curls that you glue to your hair.

We stick a wire or a skewer with one side into the head, the other into the body and glue it. Such a cutie can stand on her own legs, but she can also be planted on the edge of the shelf, bending her legs at the knees, or glued to a beautiful original stand.
