If one is into personalized items that would have the faces of people on them like personalized mugs or shirts, then he would definitely like customized dolls with faces of people on them. Usually, one would have to go to a store to make those things but it is actually quite simple to make at home. As long ad one has the creativity and a few art supplies, he can make a photo doll anytime.
Of course the very first step when making this kind of thing would be to choose a picture for the doll. Now this could be a picture of anyone as it could be a special someone, a friend, or a family member. Now if the picture is in the computer, then it is best that one print it out in photo paper.
Now since a face has to be attached to the head portion of the figure, then one has to make sure to cut it out. So before doing anything else, take a pair of scissors and cut out the face in the picture. When that is done, one may then move on to the next step.
Now after cutting out the face of the picture, one has to make sure that the picture is kept sturdy. Now in order to do this, one would first have to get himself a small cardboard. Once he has gotten that small cardboard, he must cut it out to fit the picture and then stick it to the back of the photograph.
After handling the photograph, put that aside first and concentrate on the doll. Now this is the step wherein creativity would play a very big role. One has to come up with a design for his figure in which he will attach the photograph to the head of the figure.
Of course not everybody knows how to make a figure just out of scratch. For those who are like this, they may actually download a stitching pattern from the internet. They may use this pattern to help them be able to make the figure that they would want.
When the doll has already been created, one may now attach the photograph to the head of the figure. Now the only way to do this properly would be to actually stitch the photograph there. Do remember that this has to be done slowly otherwise the photograph will be damaged a little.
Now the last step would be to spruce up the figure a little bit so that it will look much nicer. If one is good at stitching clothes together then he may make up some small clothes for the figure like a small sweater or even create a small wig for it that is made out of yarn or any other type of material. At this stage, he can just let all of his creative juices run free and create something that looks very unique.
