DIY doll clothes

Production material

From what can you create beautiful clothes for daughter dolls? Of course, most often the girl creates a new doll wardrobe from old things that have already fallen into disrepair. The child is especially happy when her mother gives her a “beautiful” beautiful bright blouse made of flowing material or a piece of velvet, leather left over from anything.

If you have the ability to sew and model, you can make clothes for dolls with your own hands in accordance with all the rules - with patterns, allowances for seams. But if you are far from all these things, and you don’t have a sewing machine, it doesn’t matter. Beautiful outfits can be obtained from seemingly absolutely inappropriate things for this, for example, old nylon tights or elastic bands from which bracelets can be woven.

How can you make different clothes for dolls? Having allocated quite a bit of free time for this, as well as having enlisted the support of her daughter, one should proceed with the creation of a new wardrobe for the child’s pet. If you knit or crochet, it will not be difficult for you to make something fresh. But if you do not have such skills, then we can offer you good options.

It can't be easier

How can I make doll clothes without sewing? If you are completely far from design and cannot make a pattern for the doll by eye, then put the toy on the newspaper and proceed to design dresses for it as follows:

• From the shoulders, draw two straps on the neck that go up. Outline the waist, and going down, draw a trapeze - this will be a skirt.
• Cut out the pattern, fold it in half and attach to a piece of cloth folded in half.
• Cut, leaving a little space for seam allowances.

Important! Also, be sure to duplicate another pattern on the fabric.

• Stitch together the two halves, without affecting the straps, otherwise - you will not be able to put on a dress on the doll.

Important! You can make clothes for dolls without sewing, using a glue gun instead of a needle and thread.

• Tie the straps around your neck and show your daughter an updated toy. If desired, you can use some kind of decor - beads, sequins, rhinestones.

Important! Doll clothes can even be made from socks. This product will make it possible to make a wonderful evening dress with bare shoulders for Barbie. To do this, just cut off the edge of the sock and make two holes for the hands at the base of the gum. That's it, a long beautiful dress is ready.

Clothes for dolls from elastic bands

Currently, on sale you can find whole sets of small silicone multi-colored rubber bands, from which with a special hook you can weave almost anything that comes to mind.

Important! If you want to know how to make doll clothes with rubber bands yourself, you will have to buy a professional weaving machine.

The manufacturing sequence is as follows:

1. Remove the first row of columns, then immediately put on two elastic bands with eights on the columns of the lower row. At the same time, make sure that the elastic bands do not intersect, and each of the eights must be isolated.
2. In the same way, use rubber bands to cover the posts of the top row. In total, six eights must be completed for each of the rows.
3. Now fill the intervals between the columns of each row with eights. Remove the elastic bands from the posts where there are already four wraps.
4. Now proceed, as at the very beginning, putting on rubber bands in two pieces at once on the two nearest columns, without doing the twist with an eight. At the places of their intersection, discard them again from the posts.
5. Work this way until the clothes for the doll are completely ready. To do this, you can use elastic bands of various colors.
