|
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
|
|
Let the bottle stand undisturbed for about 8 hours.
|
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. |
|
The Wrap
|
|
|
|
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!
