Description:

EDIT: You can use any kind of doll head but please no bigger than approx 3x3 and NO smaller than approx 1x1 <3

While I can make one of these for myself, I thought it would be fun for others to make these.

You will have one partner to send one altered Barbie Doll Head Key Chain too. The theme is Day of the Dead. The Barbie Doll Head must come from a real Barbie Doll, NO cheapy dollar store doll heads, they just don't cut it. So, get to dismembering your Barbie Dolls to find a suitable head :)

The face must be completely painted/drawn on. I suggest coating the face with Mod Podge first. Then paint or draw. I also suggest coating the face AGAIN after painting with Mod Podge. I find that Matte or Satin works best.

The hair of the doll must also be done nicely. Long or short styles are just fine.

There MUST be at LEAST ONE skull somewhere on this key chain!!

You also must include a short chain type piece to connect the head to a key chain key ring. Please don't forget to include a key chain key ring. It can be new or used!

Color themes and choices are senders choice so you can start working on your key chain whenever.

Questions? Ask here or PM me;)

Due to outrageous international shipping costs I am keeping this swap USA only. Feel free to copy and paste this or host this internationally if you want to!

PS: The example image is NOT my work! It is just a reference. Please do not copy it exactly, make it your own!

Hey agonysdecay, what type of paint do you typically use for a project like this? Seems like a keychain would require some pretty durable paint...

luleemik 04/19/2013 #

I want to play too!

agonysdecay 04/22/2013 #

@ittybittykitty I am planning to use Acrylic. If you make sure to put a coat of Mod Podge or two over the paint it should be ok. I don't know how long the keychain will last but doing this swap will help determine that:) I suppose it will depend on how rough you are with keys, LOL, I'm rough with everything but I may use it on a different key chain.

I'm also very used to Acrylics so that is why I'm going that route. Perhaps you have different paint and can share what type you use and how it turned out;)

@luleemik actually I wanted to host this swap in your group and some other groups I was in but I don't think I was a host and thats why I chose this group;)

agonysdecay 04/22/2013 #

MAKE SURE TO READ THE EDIT!!!

ittybittykitty 04/22/2013 #

@agonysdecay -- thanks! I have some acrylics and may give those a try...

luleemik 04/22/2013 #

Well, I for one am glad you hosted! I'm having so much fun with this swap!

agonysdecay 04/26/2013 #
