DIY doll head-wrap

Hello all! Today I am going to show you how to make a really cute and easy head-wrap for your dolls. What you will need is any type of string, ribbon, braided leather material. (This tutorial should work on any doll)
Sorry these were really quick pictures that I took so its not the best quality.
Cute! Right? Its a great accessory to have in your dolls wardrobe.
So what you will first do is measure and cut the string around you dolls head. But make sure to leave a little extra for sewing it together.

Then, turn it inside out and sew on the strings that are overlapped with each other. Then maybe sew over it twice? Just make sure that it is secure.
And you are done!



Your doll can wear it differently depending on what material you use. Your doll can wear it as a necklace, or a head-wrap.



  
Sorry everyone for the horrible quality photos! I was in a hurry and it also wasn't the best day for taking photos. 
Another thing is if you make this, be sure to send me photos! I may feature them in a upcoming post! :D 
Thanks for reading! And stay tuned for what my dolls are going to be for Halloween! Until then, bye!
P.s. Claire is MAG #23, 
and she is wearing Saige's sweater outfit. (Retired)

Mae's Faves

Hey everyone!
Right now I am going to share with you some of Mae's favorite hairstyles! Mae has short, straight hair, that at times can be hard to style. So this may help you with your short haired dolls. (If you have one) YouTube can also help a lot! Just search up American Girl doll hairstyles for short hair and lots of videos will pop up.
Enjoy!

 First is the twist and clip back style. It is REALLY easy. So all you do is take the front section
of your doll's hair, twist it and then clip it back with a mini jaw clip or a bobby pin. Done! Super easy and cute. :)
 Next is the same concept as the previous hairstyle above but you just add a elastic hair tie and a bow. :)
 Mae also really likes to wear headbands. Any kind of them! And they look really cute on her. :)

You have seen this hairstyle a lot on Mae because it is super easy and it adds the perfect
touch to all of her outfits. All you do is section off the front of her hair, braid it 
tightly, then sweep it back, and secure with a bobby pin. Done!
Last but not least, Mae loves her hair to be all down and "natural". Though at times her hair gets a bit crazy...
Really the only thing she does to her hair is add accessories. Here hair is really easy to take care of and would be a great first doll. You can also do pigtails, waterfall braids, things like that. It just may take more time.

Thanks for reading! Like this post if you want to see more of this. Comment down below! See you all later!

Photo Friday ~ Saige

Hey everyone! Its starting to get cold here so Saige had to bundle up for our photo shoot! Is it getting cold where you live? 
Tell me which photos were your favorite. :) Enjoy! 




 Seems like Saige is really excited for it to be fall!
 I like this picture because everything else looks washed out/dreary but then Saige pops out! The scarf adds a lot to her outfit.
 Saige's hair is in a cute bun with a little flower hair comb. She is so adorable!




 The one above is probably my favorite!


Which photo was your favorite? This was one of my favorite photo shoots that I have ever done!  It was really fun doing it. Thanks for reading and see you next week!
P.s. Saige is wearing a handmade scarf, the Coconut fun outfit T-shirt, MAG meet boots, and American Planet jeans. Her hair accessory is from a local store.
