Steps To Making A BJD Doll

By Arline Bradley


One would probably be familiar with beautiful fragile dolls that he would see in houses as decorations. Now most of these dolls are what is known as a BJD doll and is basically made out of balls and joints. Now if one is a fan of these kinds of dolls, it is actually possible for him to make one of these at home and customize it the way that he wants.

If one would want to start this creative journey, then the first thing that he would have to do would be to prepare. Now in order to do this, he has to conceptualize his idea and put it into paper. This means that he should draw the design of the figure first so that he will have a blueprint for the process later on.

After making a nice design, then the next thing one should do now would to be to buy the equipment. Now the main thing that one would be needing would be special clay known as Super Sculpey. Now Super Sculpey is the best in the market for this kind of project because it is the sturdiest.

So in order to create the skeleton of the doll, one has to start by using some hard wires so that the figure will be able to stand. Now in order to do this, one just simply has to get a bunch of hard wires and create the head, the arms, the legs, and the entire body of the figure. Take note that these wires are hard and may need the assistance of pliers in order for it to move.

Now in order to make the wires a little bit more stable so that the Sculpey will stick to it, one will have to add some masking tape on the body parts. One more thing to do with the masking tape would be to create a ball on the ends of the body parts. The last part of this step would be to wrap the skeleton parts with some tinfoil.

When he has already done that, then the next step is to add some of the Sculpey to the figure. Now the first thing he should do would be to put just a thin layer of Sculpey first on the parts. Just a thin layer of Sculpey will do for now.

After one has done this, then the next thing to do would be to build up the figure from there. In this step, one may add some Sculpey or reduce some of it in order to create the doll itself. It is also here that one will now be carving the face and adding some details on the body as well as some decorations to make it look nice.

Now the final step would be to attach all of the parts to form the figure. Now with the ball that was made earlier, one can now stick the balls into the sockets that have to be made while putting the Sculpey. Once all of the pieces are connected together, then one should just bake the figure and wait for a few minutes.
