The Way To Make 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.

Now the very first thing that one should do before he starts his project would be to create a design for his figure. Now this is probably the most important part because it is in this part that one will be creating the blueprint for his project. Now he may draw his design on his notebook and edit it along the way.

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.

Once he has already finished this step, the next thing he should do would be to put a little bit of masking tape on the pieces. Also, he should put a rather big roll of masking tape on the edges of the body parts and then wrap the parts with some tin foil. The ball of masking tape will be the ball in the ball and joint.

Now after that has already been done, then the next part would be to add the Super Sculpey on the skeleton. When starting out, one should first rub a very thin layer of the Sculpey on the body parts. When one has already done this, then one may just add more of the Sculpey as much as he pleases.

Now after putting a thin layer of Sculpey there, then the next thing to do would be to add more and build the figure. Now during this step, one can be creative and make the doll look like whatever he wants. Of course he also has to carve the face in which he can use different paints and accessories for the eyes, the mouth, and the nose.

The last step would be to now stick all the parts together. Now do take note that at the edge of the segments, there should be a ball where the masking tape was placed and a joint that it will connect to. Connect these pieces and bake them in the oven for a few minutes before taking it out and putting on the clothes.
