Making Miniature Dolls with Polymer Clay: How to Create and Dress Period Dolls in 1/12 Scale

by Sue Heaser

You won’t need any special equipment, because the new polymer clays are easy to sculpt, and even easier to harden, right in your kitchen oven. Once they’re firm, you can carve, sand, paint, and glue them, and even add details and bake again. Using the dollhouse scale of 1:12, these charming projects (with templates) include men, women, girls, boys, and baby dolls with a variety of faces, ages, and hairstyles.

The used copy of this 25yo book I ordered online arrived today, and I read it pretty much cover to cover in one afternoon, before I have bought the tools and material I need to make a start. I am a total beginner to dolls making in particular and polymer clay in general, but this beautifully illustrated book, with its clear instructions and step by step diagrams, has really inspired me to have a go. I can't wait to start, and regardless of what I will achieve, the book in itself was a pleasure to read.

this book helped a lot to dress a doll with polymer clay. You must have a item that would help you put the dress on or when you put it in the oven it will not work.
