Repaint! Budget Customizing: How to make custom dolls for super cheap!

On one hand, I think it’s really nice that she’s making sure “budget” is ACTUALLY bare minimum to make it as accessible as possible On the other hand this has a high key “art is forbidden and I must scavenge napkins and paints and make my own brushes and needles in secret” kinda vibe that I love 😂

YOU DEADASS MADE YOUR OWN BRUSHES AND NEEDLE IM LOSING IT More importantly, thank you so much for presenting this more as a "on a budget version" than the typical "OMG cheap art supply challenge!!" i see so much in the art community, its even worse when people conclude "the materials were so bad so i couldnt create anything great" like honey your "fun challenge video" is someones daily life.. Over the years i have stocked up on lots of art supplies, but I used to think I couldnt get into e.g. customizing dolls since it appeared to be so expensive and exclusively for people with a certain set of tools In that sense, thank you so much for this video and I hope more people will try to create things no matter what!

Dude... as someone who compulsively hordes the “treasures” i find outside and all the art supplies I’ve ever been given ever and random trash from packages and other various things and tons of clothes and old sheets and such, I have an ENTIRE ROOM of random things I could make AWESOME custom dolls with... and a whole box of 20 - 30 year old Barbies in the basement.... hmmm, looks like I have a new hobby to try out PS. Don’t forget, you can also use old makeup like eyeshadow and blush for your dolls’ face up!! :)

[@espeonattacks4580]

Hey, if you do end up trying doll customizing, could you upload it on KZbin for me, lol. I could help you with a couple of things if you need it, and maybe I could try things the way you try them and have somewhere to look when I don’t wanna buy all f this stuff! Thanks, and have an amazing weekend!

Makeup made for human faces usually has a bit of oil to it, and might not work well on vinyl. Powder type makeup (not made as a cake type, just loose powder) would probably work best

She gives me the vibe that she would live in an orphanage for part-beast children or something and i love ittttt omg also this made me a lot more confident that i can still customize dolls with limited materials, especially the lack of sealant, but i don't think i'll be needing to make voodoo brushes or homemade needles (lmao), although i respect the sentiment that almost anyone can make a doll like this with whatever they find around the house, as well as being more eco-friendly. i actually have a faceless doll that i want to decorate so i'll definitely be using your wonderful advice! thank youu

Ok, I’m only 15 so I don’t usually have a lot of money, so here’s the supplies I use! Needle felting wool: it’s cheap, and is like pre prepared wool! Also, you can get it from Daiso 😁 Dolls: I have a thrift store in my town with dolls for $5 a bag (two per bag). These are a selection of barbie, Bratz (which I use commonly because it’s similar enough to monster high) and of course monster high dolls. Fabric: I get my fabric from old clothes I don’t need anymore, or from the thrift store, because where I live fabric is really expensive! Face-up: I use super small brushes, and no pastels as they are really expensive! I just use whichever spare paints I can find, and from my experience white and black are the most important colours. Sealant: I use top coat nail polish on just the painted parts to seal the face in, as I can’t find MSC anywhere. I hope this was useful to anyone else in my situation 😄 Ps. I love the doll! You did an amazing job on her!

[@colorbar.s]

does the clear nail polish work?

[@geildelite]

colorbar.s fairly well! Although my dolls are display dolls that aren’t played with, so I’m not sure how well it would work with dolls that do get played with. For me though, it works and keeps the paint from scratching 😄

[@lyrapersephone]

colorbar.s i actually dont reccomend clear nail polish try useing glossy modgepodge and matemodge podge for sealent and dilute the modegepodge with water and use a sponge to apply any type of nail polish will eat away at plastic of the dolls face overtime and become sticky also modgepodge can be found at your local dollar store so its still a budget item

[@geildelite]

Lyra Persephone I’ve heard of modpodge but I can never seem to find it, is it a US thing?

[@geildelite]

I realise now I may have made a mistake! I think the clear coat I use is supposed to be called a top coat?

This is a fantastic idea, not only for being thrifty, but for always looking for ways to make horns and accessories without having to use epoxy putty or worbla! I adore the horns - they are so successful, says the Capricorn person who loves goat horns on dolls! You were my first customizer to follow two years ago and I still find your videos informative while you even show us when you fail at something and find a work-around to make it work. Truly, a master at figuring out both the structure and the details! Love you, @Dollightful!

This video is incredible. I think the most valuable thing you can learn when it comes to art or DIY is how to view things as their qualities or for their parts, and that you can repurpose those parts. Looking at a feather and learning that you're allowed to wonder "Could I use this as a brush?" rather than just seeing it as "This is a feather." Not only did you wonderfully show how to customize a doll, but also how to have a creative mindset for any project. I'm glad I clicked on this!

Thank you my dear. When I was a child this was how we did things, it was lovely to remember.
