I am always looking for new, creative ways to enhance my PaperWhimsy Amazing Alterable pieces. I have been creating a lot with fabrics, yarn, and thread lately, so I thought it would fun to use some baker’s twine, felt, and muslin for my doll this month.
For the main body part, I cut strips of think baker’s twine and adhered them to the Amazing Alterable piece with Weldbond. (any strong adhesive would work)
Once the twine was dry, I trimmed the string to match the shape of the alterable.
For the other body pieces, I used eco-dyed muslin, stitched felt and gauze/lace.
I love the textural feel of the body. I finished the other Amazing Alterable pieces with embossing powder. I also finished a molded, resin head with the same embossing powder.
And what kind of Diva isn’t complete with lots of bling. I added rhinestones to the edges of her body and her halo.
I wanted her to ‘stand’, so I adhered her to a frame, finished with more rhinestones.

I hope I gave you some inspiration today and how to finish your Amazing Alterable pieces. I’d love to hear about the ways you finish your pieces.
Thanks for stopping by!
She’s lovely Tina. I like the twine technique.
