Dolls Crafty Tip

Drying apples in the summer may be difficult because of the humidity. You may want to wait till humidity has decreased or try using a food dehydrator. If you don't have a food dehydrator, try blowing a fan directly on the appleheads and/ or place heads in very low oven heat, 135 degrees or lower.

Dolls Crafty Tip

Some stuffed dolls have cloth "shoes" sewn on as part of the body. If they cannot be cleaned, I have covered them by making a kind of sock out of colored knit fabric. Just slip it on over the old cover, turn down the raw edge at the top and hand sew it to the doll. Sew or glue on lace around the top making it look like the trim on a fancy sock.

Dolls Crafty Tip

If weighting a doll's body, rather than using sand, a cheap and reliable option is to go down to a metal cleaning blast shop and ask for a sack of glass beads.

Dolls Crafty Tip

Even fragile items like dolls can be successfully shipped. The key to ship an item like this is to use oversize boxes and plenty of cushion material. Make sure that the box the doll is shipped in provides at very least 5 inches of clearance between the furthest protruding member (watch for the fingers as the most fragile) and the side of the box. Fill the void with a soft packing material. Do not use loose packing "peanuts". Put them in a bag if you plan on using them.
