BJD hobby on a budget: Transforming a 26cm doll from Aliexpress

This doll was about USD12 on Aliexpress, but she is as cute as my other 1/6 scale dolls that costed over a hundred dollars.

love your tutorials please keep making more love how you turn a cheap doll into a piece of art once again thanks a million times blessings

[@maypaints6422]

Thank you dear for your support! I have enough recording material for several more videos, I just need to edit them.

[@dannibruh6366]

Ooh, now I wanna try this! I've customized some more expensive dolls in the past, but this seems like an awesome way to get some practice in!!

[@lovelandisle]

This video is so well shot, clearly narrated, and I love your voice! It’s so satisfying to see the glow up on this doll!

[@PompousPuppy]

OMG I was sweating when you cut into that head between the rooting tracks! Brave, and what an amazing transformation! Your face ups are so beautiful! Please continue to share your creations with us!

[@chuthings]

The trick for the hair is great! I thought it will get more greasy but it didn’t! And turned out beautiful. Great job on this little girl. She is indeed cute.
I was wondering how do you put the scalp with the head together?
Keep the great work!

[@maypaints6422]

Thank you so much for your thoughtful comment! I make tiny putty balls to keep the scalp together, I will try to show it on another video = )

[@Tenmitsudou]

You turn simple dolls into beautiful dolls, thanks for your videos. 😻😻 Do you think you could show us how you glue the eyes and heads of the dolls?

[@maypaints6422]

Thank you so much! I use putty to place the eyes and close the heads, as seen on these clips ruclips.net/video/6ZYSmEaD8t4/видео.html
and ruclips.net/video/ou-dla_Wq2g/видео.html

[@tommywiseau_]

very nice. do you maybe know of any MSC alternatives specifically that work on barbie heads?

[@cindyhauffe6963]

Love your work & videos. Could you consider doing a middle Blyth? How much do you charge? Not on Facebook or instagram -so hoping you might see this

[@runaa_boo]

Is it possible to do the lineart purely with watercolor pencils?

[@ashlovesart6484]

What is msc spray you use?

[@18Star04]

thanks to you i dont have the intent of buying a more expensive doll if i can buy one of these and just customize them! thank you so much for these tutorials!

[@maypaints6422]

You are more than welcome! I am glad there are more options available now than 10 years ago.

[@18Star04]

@@maypaints6422 yeah, 10 years ago i was 8 and always wanted a bjd, but well,i obviously couldnt afford it, still cant, but, this is a great alternative, plus i like creating my own art works, so this would be a great experience!
