Here's something new to try and it's a great way to use a not so pretty doll or one with missing parts!

Create a dress form from a Barbie or teen style doll. There's no tutorial available that I can find, but basically just:

1) Whack off the arms, legs & head...leaving just the torso for the base of your dress form.

2) Now get out the glue or mod podge and cover the form with vintage text, music sheets, fabric...whatever inspires you.

3) Don't stop there...add embellies, maybe a cute skirt...don't forget to add a stand, so the dress form will stand on its own.

FUN STUFF: Sender's choice to one partner. Sign up time is short, but you'll have plenty of time to create.

NOT SO FUN STUFF: Send on time, rate fairly and promptly. Be a super swapper and send your best work. Please don't cheat and use a paper mache dress form:(

oh glad you mentioned the dress form as Our Barbie is a special shape and we would be sad if not a Barbie form so hope my partner will like my "form" and theme on her is fun making this one

thanks for that
