      I think it makes sense because, you usually can't find brushes that tiny and when you do, they aren't great and usually still too big. Believe me, I've been looking around and I can't find proper tiny brushes anywhere.

      If you can't find small brushes using a tooth pick or the tip of an inkless pen can make great small lines. You just have to be careful when putting paint on it that you don't put too much on.

    On one hand, I think it’s really nice that she’s making sure “budget” is ACTUALLY bare minimum to make it as accessible as possible
    On the other hand this has a high key “art is forbidden and I must scavenge napkins and paints and make my own brushes and needles in secret” kinda vibe that I love 😂

    I love how super-committed you were to making this as low cost as possible - DIY needles, brushes, even twist ties instead of rubber bands or hair ties, no sealant, no fancy pastels or pencils, no air dry clay - absolutely determined to show us just how cheaply a beautiful doll can be made. Well done!

    This is so cute!!
    Also, if you don't have the energy to make your own brushes and needles, dollar stores are usually treasure troves in that sense. They'll commonly have several cheap brushes in a pack, as well as plastic palette knives and travel sewing kits that come with several needles and different threads. Sometimes I think those packs even come with tiny scissors. My printmaking teacher made me gain a love for dollar stores. I learned that you can carve those pink rubber erasers and it's great to find art supplies that are so affordable, since it is sadly usually the opposite.
    The kitchen section can also be a goldmine! They're likely to have those skewers that Dollightful used or something similar to them, as well as cheap dishes and cutting boards and other surfaces you can get specifically for crafting, if you want a dedicated space to make a mess and don't have one. (:
    Thrift stores will sometimes have fabric too, or you can go to fabric stores and some of them will have scrap bags that you can get for a few bucks! These are great bc dolls aren't that large and so it's likely that the scraps will be a good size and will last you a long time^^

    Thank you my dear. When I was a child this was how we did things, it was lovely to remember.

    This is a fantastic idea, not only for being thrifty, but for always looking for ways to make horns and accessories without having to use epoxy putty or worbla!

You were my first customizer to follow two years ago and I still find your videos informative while you even show us when you fail at something and find a work-around to make it work. Truly, a master at figuring out both the structure and the details! Love you, @Dollightful!

    Ok, I’m only 15 so I don’t usually have a lot of money, so here’s the supplies I use!
    Needle felting wool: it’s cheap, and is like pre prepared wool! Also, you can get it from Daiso 😁
    Dolls: I have a thrift store in my town with dolls for $5 a bag (two per bag). These are a selection of barbie, Bratz (which I use commonly because it’s similar enough to monster high) and of course monster high dolls.
    Fabric: I get my fabric from old clothes I don’t need anymore, or from the thrift store, because where I live fabric is really expensive!
    Face-up: I use super small brushes, and no pastels as they are really expensive! I just use whichever spare paints I can find, and from my experience white and black are the most important colours.
    Sealant: I use top coat nail polish on just the painted parts to seal the face in, as I can’t find MSC anywhere.
    I hope this was useful to anyone else in my situation 😄
    Ps. I love the doll! You did an amazing job on her!
