DIY Witch Doll from an old Halloween Magazine! | E03

Welcome to a new episode of “Are you Afraid of 90’s Craftings?”!
In this series, we are trying craftings out of Halloween magazines from the 90’s!
In the last episode, we built a haunted house with wooden sticks. I, also, made tiny witches, spiders and a ghost. And the result was great! To watch that video: • DIY Wooden Miniature H... )
Today, we are making a cute witch doll completely from scratch!
I’m going to follow the instructions of a 1993 “Craft’n Things” magazine and see where things go!
We are going to make a doll, a dress, broomers, little shoes and a witch hat!
I’m going to show you how you can make hair with yarn and a face with embroidery floss.
There’s going to be little struggles along the way, but also big wins!

So happy that you kept going. She looks spooky and great.

[@treatortreat]

Thank you so much, Scott! 😘 I'm glad you like her!

[@dylan_1884]

Wow it turned out so great!! Amazing doll and even more amazing video. Can’t believe how soon Halloween will be here 🎃

[@treatortreat]

Thank you!! I'm so glad I followed your advice (and kept going). It turned great in the end! Hopefully, this video gives you a little bit of inspiration for your craftings! Haha, yes! I'm super excited about that! Halloween is on its way.

[@wyrd-girl]

I'm glad you stuck with her, she came out cute! I love the yarn hair, and your fabric choices for her clothes!

[@treatortreat]

Thank you! You're so nice! 🥰

[@FraidyZone]

I love how your witch turned out!!! I never tried making one with a pattern, but I recall making a doll ages ago with nylon stockings (i.e. pantyhose).😁 Thanks for another great video, Val!💖

[@treatortreat]

Aww thank you, my friend!!! ❤️ This is funny! Nylon-sock doll? I should really look that up!

[@mughydiy]

I am really impressed by how this witch turned out. 💜🤩🌟 While I was watching the video I had such a nostalgia, because when I was young... still a child, my mother used to make this kind of stuff, not for Halloween, but for Christmas... for some reason I could smell how the materials smell (the scent)... I think I had some emotional memory lol. Thanks for that 💜

[@treatortreat]

Oh wow, Mughy! 💕 What beautiful memories! Thank you so much, for sharing that magic moment with me. I'm glad this video made you nostalgic. I understand. Sewing reminds me a lot of my grandmother (and all those moments I spent watching her make costumes). All those smells, the warm color of her light, the sound of the sewing machine. We have a lot in common... it's crazy!

These are so Fun to make! Any 90’s craft kit I come across at the thrift store I grab & make them at home. ❤-But I truly do love the Halloween ones the best….& I add extra stuff which makes it way longer of a project/but I consider them heirloom pieces. “One day my grandkids will inherit my trinkets 😂”

[@treatortreat]

Yes!!! You're right! 90's Halloween patrons are the best! And as you say, putting your own touch is way more fun! Haha, oh my god! That's so cute. 💜 My kids (2 and 3 years old) are already into Halloween. Hopefully, one day, they will be glad to own my craftings.

[@hauntattheroxbury]

Great work, I'm sure you would do well at some of the vendor craft shows we attend. Your vintage style is very much in demand and would be well received, BTW thought the vintage ad break was brilliant!

[@treatortreat]

Oh thank you! I never thought about that. Maybe one day! I wish I had more free time. Haha! Yes! Thanks. Those magazines are full of funny/stupid ads. I love it!

[@rozanidesignsmasquerade7050]

She’s wonderfully witchy❣️ Such a fun project. 😀 I’m 25:48 glad that you kept on going. Now she is more unique. 👍😍🦇

[@treatortreat]

Oh thank you so much! 🥰 I glad, too. It's different, that's for sure!

[@rozanidesignsmasquerade7050]

You’re most welcome. It’s Okay to be different. I do things differently and some things are on purpose but others are by experimenting and/or accident. I just move on to the next thing because we all have different ways of looking at things. It’s all a part of the learning experience. Have a great day. 🙂

[@treatortreat]

You're so true. That's a beautiful way to see things!

[@SouthofSanityCandles]

That looked like a lot of work! But I think it came out awesome! 🎃🎃🎃

[@treatortreat]

Thank you Virgil! 😘 I know, it was a big project. But that's the types of projects that keep my interest. If it's too easy, it's not fun! Thanks for watching (as usual)! 👻

[@Frightman]

She's very cute and that was a lot a lot a lot. A lot of work. Oh my God. I guess back in the day Daddy was at work and Mama was at home doing stuff like this. Do they actually still have magazines with ideas like this? I have no idea but I'm curious. Great job! This must have taken weeks to complete.

[@treatortreat]

Thank you! Yes! It was long. Since I can only work on this channel at night (when the kids are asleep), I don't have a lot of time. So it took about a month. It was more than I first expected. But with the editing, the voiceover, and all... it's a lot! Ahah your comment is so funny (about daddy and mama). I don't know about today's magazines, I think they do. But I bought a bunch of 90s magazines, and let me tell you, some of those crafting are horrible. I'm always wondering if people were really making these! Lol! Thanks for watching!
