Art Dress Tutorial - Part 1 - Paper Mache Bodice

[@CB-yl6tg]

I’ve been watching this every year for atleast 5-6 years now

[@brielliott04]

[@celinebarberio9070]

Stunning. I used to do papier-mâché masks when I was little (grade school age) and loved it so much. I would love to do this technique with either napkins or rice paper for the rich designs or inclusions in the paper. I think it would add such an interesting texture. TFS your astounding talent with us. Thanks to you generous, dedicated ladies and gents of You Tube my artistic education has grown leaps and bounds.

[@MiCottageCrafts]

+Celine Barberio You are so very welcome, thank you so much for taking the time to watch :)

[@sherrihorton8813]

This is SUCH a relaxing vidio, I LOVE your ascent!

[@auntypillow]

Forgot to say: you have such a friendly, calm and nice voice! Relaxing to listnen to. I am a high sensitive person, and sometimes someone could speak with accents, or high or very low.... but this is very good. I think you have a optimistic mind.

+Alice LPS Thank you :)

[@brightstatic1057]

I saw this video in 2015. Then a few years later got a phone. I looked for this video, but couldn't find it. Today, finally I'm back to say your work is so original, classy interesting and like a professional! Like in Toy Story, there is this professional guy who restored the doll as best as he could🤠 I love your voice too. Now when I'm finally here, I've forgotten what I wanted to say.😂

[@plungerbot]

Oh and can I use glitter nailpolish instead of the fine glitter which you used?

[@MiCottageCrafts]

I think this is one of the most interesting projects I've seen so far and I will attempted to tackle it, though it will take me some time to reach your level of skill if I'm at all successful. Your creativity is amazing and inspiring.

[@MiCottageCrafts]

noregrets7469 Thank you so very much for your lovely comment, I truly hope you give it a try :) tfw

[@bridgetcook1581]

I love this project and enjoy watching and listening to you. You're fun and the accent is awesome. I'm from Mississippi, USA. Like the idea of being able to use this method to smooth out my own figure. Haha.

[@MiCottageCrafts]

hehe if we could just smooth ourselves out it would be wonderful ;) thank you so much for watching

[@coraleewalsh7129]

Hi great video I loved it. Are you a Aussie. Have you ever made Angels or Fairies.... Happy crafting.

[@Moriah923]

Excellent tutorial! I will have to go into the attic now and look up the Barbie dolls I used to collect. I'm so excited to start. It's going to be fun. Thank you Jeanette. xxx Moriah

[@ednealulajr7438]

Amei o vistido!!!!!!

[@denasewell]

I have made dress forms with this method except I have the person wear an old tight tshirt then cover that with duct tape then paper mache with real varnish/varithane mixed with plaster of paris and white glue ... with the cheese cloth in between the layers (once it is completely dry) it is strong like fiberglass....I never thought of doing this for a doll ...Very Clever!!Thanks for the tutorial I am definitely going to do this !

[@walkingdeers8163]

Buuuuuuuttt, can I make it with newspapers?

[@MiCottageCrafts]

Emma Klaver Yes you most certainly can :) tfw

[@naamningnangsue6663]

Miyu Chen You can use any type of paper you have. Scrap pieces are better because you don't have to waste anything. Remember the glue!

[@mybluebike101]

First, this is so amazing! Second, I was laughing out loud when you were talking about cutting the dolls hair off, then it brought back a memory... when I was little I cut the hair off one of my dolls and told my little sister, "see it doesn't hurt, you should cut your hair" and she did! My mom had a fit, I can still remember sitting at a local donut counter and all she had was stubble across the front of her head, lol!!!

[@Weasel0539]

excellent video. I'm saving this in favourites and can't wait for next part. i to got cheesecloth from the kitchen stall in the market and it's cheap. on the fabric stall they sell cheesecloth fabric but that's much more dense and doesn't fray the same. cheesecloth is lovely with modelling paste on my canvases

[@nescelcortez2887]

if you make videos again pĺease proceed to the making and dont talk so much, it makes the video soooo long and kinda irritating. But its pretty. 😉

[@Bees123Knees]

But everything she said was informative. She fast-forwarded when she had nothing relevant to say.

[@ShireeMcCarver]

This is marvelous. For "cheese cloth" I used instead medical surgical all gauze sponge is perfect, cheap because you can 200 3x3 12 ply for 3 to 4.00 dollars here in America. You can use it for cleaning brushes and many other things if not crafting. Also for different colors and such you can use thin decoupage or wrapping tissue paper in the party section has a lot of choices for colors and design, just more delicate so you have to as you say dab and not swipe also molding with your fingers is good with the tissue paper. I also have used glitter fabric paints. If you want jewel designs. Jewel nail art pieces glued on is perfect.

[@MYLORDCLC123]

get to the point instead of talking to much

[@RichaPatranabis]

She's narrating all you need to know. There are people who are passionate about art and are actually making this following her tutorial. So stop being an ass to a beautiful and talented lady.

[@Boots-ob8hh]

[@janhogg4865]

Thanks so much for making and sharing this tutorial with us :-) It was just at the weekend I watched your video on the Beautifully Gorgeous Art Dress you had made, that I raced down to the shops to purchase my own doll and give the paper mache bodice a go! Although I followed your general directions in the previous video, this has been extremely helpful with the little extra hints and tip :-) Off to check out Part II :-)....thanks again for sharing your amazingly inspiring talent!

[@inspiredcaroline24]

Thank you so much for replying, giving me this link. It's absolutely fantastic & instead of doing jobs, am going straight to part 2!! Housework is so overrated, don't u think? Lol :))

[@MiCottageCrafts]

It most definitely is overrated!!! ;) Thank you so much :)

[@Bees123Knees]

Thank you so much for sharing your talent with everyone for free! I really appreciate it. There's another video on KZbin from someone else who is charging money. Also, I apologize for those people grumbling about your narrative. People can get so rude on social media. Ignore them! If they knew how to use the KZbin "Gear Box" they'd be able to speed this up instead of just leaving insults.

[@MiCottageCrafts]

Hello Debra and you are very welcome :) Oh I don't let the comments bother me, this is an old video and I think it was my 'first' tutorial so I'm actually quite proud of it even if it's not perfect and a little long :) I hope you have a lovely day

[@Bees123Knees]

Thank you. I'm glad to hear they don't and of course you should be proud!! Most of us wouldn't have a clue how to make a video, lol! Cheers!

[@Mzshortcake247]

Lov lov lov this thx u also u can use flour and water boil it to make decoupage paste it works wonderful ;)

Thanks for your response to my comment. I am really sorry if it offended you.

[@patriciabrightwell196]

Good grief, Jeanette -- I've been making these for a few years - and I bought dolls at the thrift store -- one bag had three adults and one child marked down to 99 cents -- but the fact you searched for a doll with narrow hips and indented waist is amazing to me -- it's like a chef at the farmers' market picking the specific ingredients he needs. It's so early here -- I can't sleep -- so I'm browsing youtube and pinterest and this popped up -- I've watched it before, but am going to watch it again -- I did steal your idea about using gauze with the glue on the bodice for strength -- is that in this video stream? Anyway, great idea - and your doll is gorgeous -- I hope you & family are well -- Patricia

[@MiCottageCrafts]

+Myrna Hartley Thank you and I hope you do :) tfw

[@auntypillow]

Lovely so far, knowing what the result will be. I was thinking, the bookpaper is thicker you said. Isn't it a good idea to do the very first beginning on the plastic foil, to do a thin layer with newspaper? Another idea I had was the cheesecloth, in stead of this you also could use soms wire gauze. It's cheap and everbody could find it in every drugstore. Just some ideas from a creative viewer. Regards from the Netherlands, Europe.

[@lizmaynz]

Thanks for the tutorial i was wondering if you could use tissue paper, i was thinking the paper might mold to the body on the first layer what do you think :)

Thank you so much for this tutorial - i wanted to ask you about it! You are reading my mind!!! It is the most wonderful project! Thank you so much! Hugs, natasha

[@HerHandsMyHands]

I've been wanting to do this for a while, but I think I'll use phone book pages--a lot thinner, porous, easy to mold. Thank you!

[@MiCottageCrafts]

I think phone book paper is a great idea to try, just see how it goes as to how many layers you need because you would still want some firmness with the end result :) Thank you so much and thanks for watching :)
