DIY Mannequin How to make a WO-MANNEQUIN completed

Making a WO-MANNEQUIN takes a lot of time, but I love it.
It's like a work of art.
I finished my latest WO-MANNEQUIN!
It's the Head n' Torso.
With this particular one, I extended the neck so long earrings
could be hooked on either side.

FINAL WORK PROCESS







 If you ever viewed my post about
"how to make your own mannequin"
I veered from just using the form.
I added curves and angles that are not on the original form.
I love it!
 I feature it as sculpture in my apartment.
I get so many compliments, when people see it.
BUT! It is also great to display my necklaces
and hook or hoop earrings.
It is also great to display knitted items,
such as caps and scarves and also small to medium sized t-shirts.

    Oh, these are so very cool. I remember years ago making a craft paper custom dress form for sewing. I love the idea of these for jewelry and display.

      Thank you, Sue. It does not cost a lot, but they do take many hours to make and perfect. I could not find anything out there to display my jewelry, so I figured I'd make my own, which has taken off to selling quite a few. :) Who knew?!

MANNEQUIN - DIY

Image
UPDATE a/o May 2012 Because I love to work with my hands and create a variety of things. I thought I could make my own mannequins.  I used the paper mache' technique to make my mine. See below for step by step on how to make your own WO-MANNEQUIN Materials : Grocery bags, wallpaper paste and tape. Tools required: brush, box cutter, plastic wrap Grocery bags Bags from my local store Wallpaper paste (premixed) purchased from hardware store Boxcutter purchased from hardware store Method : Papier-mâché technique What is Papier-mâché? It's French for chewed-up paper due to it's appearance. In this case, torn-up appearance. I used a main mannequin as the frame to create MY PEACE of JEWELRY WO-MANNEQUINs. Plastic wrap   Yes, the same plastic wrap to wrap your left overs   I wrap the original mannequin in plastic wrap to avoid it getting wet or sliced. Plastic wrap clings to itself without a

How to Choose the Right Earrings for your Face Shape

Image
I love to make jewelry; earrings included. But I have to admit not every style is right for every Woman. Depending on your face shape some earrings types are better than others. The types of earrings you wear should depend on your FACE shape. The four basic shapes are highlighted below. SQUARE SHAPE What is a square-shaped face? - sides of your face will be straight - face will be nearly as wide as it is long - your jawline will be defined, with only a minimum curve                                                                        - strong jawline                                                                      Best EARRINGS for square-shaped face - earrings with rounded designs - elongated earrings, especially under the chin line - dangling earrings - hoop earrings These styles are considered excellent because they add a softness to the facial angles *avoid very wide, bulky, square earrings Famous square-shaped  face celebrities
