Repainting a Monster High doll, such as Draculaura, involves several steps. Here's a general guide to help you get started on repainting or customizing a Monster High doll:
Materials Needed:
- Monster High Doll (Draculaura)
- Acetone or Nail Polish Remover
- Mr. Super Clear Sealant or MSC
- Watercolor Pencils or Soft Pastels
- Fine Paintbrushes
- Sealant Spray (optional)
- Acrylic Paints
- Water Cup and Paper Towels
- Sealant Varnish (optional)
Steps:
-
Prepare Your Workspace:
- Lay down newspaper or a protective surface to avoid staining your work area.
-
Remove the Original Face:
- Use acetone or nail polish remover to gently wipe off the factory face paint. Be careful not to damage the vinyl.
-
Seal the Doll:
- Spray the doll with Mr. Super Clear (MSC) to provide a smooth surface for the new face.
-
Sketch the New Face:
- Use watercolor pencils or soft pastels to sketch the desired features. This step allows you to plan the design before using permanent paints.
-
Painting:
- Use fine paintbrushes and acrylic paints to bring your design to life. Take your time and work in layers for better results.
-
Detailing:
- Add details such as eyes, eyebrows, lips, and any other features you desire. Precision is key, so use a steady hand.
-
Sealing the Paint:
- Once satisfied with your work, seal the face with another layer of MSC. This helps protect the paint and prevents it from chipping.
-
Optional Sealant Varnish:
- If you want extra protection, you can apply a sealant varnish after the MSC has dried. This step is optional but can add durability.
-
Let it Dry:
- Allow the doll to thoroughly dry before handling or redressing.
-
Reassemble:
- Once the doll is completely dry, you can reassemble it and, if desired, change the outfit or hairstyle.
