Bottle Dolls take on a new strength!  Reinforced with the       "Miracle Substance"      TILE ADHESIVE

It even sticks to Glass!

Reinforcing the Bottle How To Cover the Bottle with Fabric

This base is made from a 1 x 4 " peice of wood with a circular indentation cut into it. (You can still do this without the circular cut)

The Base

The Spread Then (after waiting 8 hours) when the bottle feels secure  on its base, cover the whole bottle with the tile adhesive this time.  Note that the Dollmaker is using a specialized tool: a butter knife from the silverware drawer.

Stretchy fabric works best, but this fabric here is not stretchy and it is working just fine. A pre-cut shape is fitted onto the bottle, pressed directly against the (kind of squishy) adhesive.       Tile Adhesive is water-based, so it cleans up easily. Wipe down the seam where the two edges of fabric meet with a damp sponge. Wash hands with water and clean your tools... The Bottle Doll Body is hard as a rock in 8 hours.

NOW the Bottles are ready to be made into DOLLS!
