I've already posted one tutorial about How to Make a Mannequin out of paper, paste and patience. It's been 3 years since that post. For kicks, I thought I'd make a new post just to see how much I've aged over the years. Ha! Besides me getting older, nothing else has changed. I still make each MANNEQUIN with the same materials. 1. paper bags 2. wallpaper paste 3. patience 4. time Now, when I decided to make this post,  I was already in the process of making another TORSO. I've sold quite a few on Etsy with great feedback .

T he Olive Tree has both a sentimental and religious significance. According to the Bible, it is believed that Jesus prayed underneath an Olive Tree in the Garden of Gethsemane after the Last Supper. This sacred tree is still in existence today. The Bible repeatedly refers to the Olive Tree as a symbol of peace, fertility, and prosperity. In the story of Noah's Ark, a branch from an Olive Tree was brought back to the Ark by Noah's Dove symbolizing peace.

The natural swirl and contrast of the Olive Wood grain will draw your mind. After the olive tree is trimmed her branches are ke...

MANNEQUIN - Display Options

I make the mannequins to display jewelry. Being a jewelry designer, I know what is needed to be a good mannequin. 1. sturdy 2. light 3. mobile 4. pretty   I have a tutorial on how to make your own DIY - Mannequin and there are several other tutorials all over the internet But if you want one already made, you can purchase one of my WO-mannequin I've sold several on Etsy   Since I started making these mannequins a few years ago, I've added a couple of different shaped ones.   Here I want to show how my favorite necklace (I made it too) looks on each WO-mannequin. Chinese Tibetan Agate Necklace Bust     mini-Torso Torso    Head n' Torso   What I like about the headless MANNEQUINs is I don't have to continuously open and close the clasp on the necklaces. Just slip over the neck and it lays perfectly.       Handmade Jewelry & Mannequins
