So here is a mini breakdown of how I created the BJD eye cups.

First off, you’re going to need some sort of backing to round out the eyeball. I split wooden beads apart and glued them to the backs. This is going to help the eyeball rotate.

Now you are going to need some half spheres. They need to be larger than your eyeball so the can move freely once padding is added. I made these with hot glue and two metal measuring spoons, one inside the other. This created the mold for the sphere. Have ice water handy because a quick cool down makes it easier to peel the glue out. They don’t have to be perfect, you can always trim if need be.

Fluff time. I gently tugged apart a cotton makeup wipe to create the pillow we need. How much you’re going to need will vary and you will need to experiment with how much is going to work for the eyeball. Lots of trial and error here. You want to set it in the half-spheres lightly, do not pack it in.

Position your eyeball. This is also trial and error. You want it center with enough room to move. You will have to put the cup on and experiment. Have a toothpick like object and a little bit of tac to do a trial run on the eyeballs movement. Add/remove fluff as needed. You want a semi-firm cushion but not so much to hinder movement. You may need to adjust position of the cup to either side as well for optimal movement.

I very much recommend Faber-Castell blue tac it. It doesn’t leave marks on the pupils as you move the eye around.

Mnnn

Did you find a prime position? Glue the cap in. I know magnets are usually used, but I’m being cheap here. A couple spots of hot glue holds the cup in and is easily pulled out for change and repositioning. Just trim off the excess glue and start again.

Some heads may be more difficult to place the cups side by side. You will have to use your best judgement to trim and move as necessary. For a couple I had to trim some of the side of the cup off because of the angle.

Got them both in? Great! Replace the head and admire your work.

Side note: I did notice some eyewells were deeper than others (looking at you Dante) I did have to do a little bit of pre padding carefully around the eyeball before placing the cap, just to help keep the eye in position. Be sure to check often to make sure there is no stray fluff peeking around the eye.

This was a quick and dirty explanation of how I did this. It isn’t pretty, but it works. Now the dolls have more expression than ever from sultry, to suspicious, to downright deviant.

Feel free to use or make improvements upon this concept. It’s meant to be a cheap and easy project.

I've been productive today ✨

Quick Curl Cara's hair terrified me. It was matted, frizzy and also full of lots of little fragile wires to hold the curl. With a lot of gentle combing and boiling water, I managed to get it back to how it used to be with very minor wire breakage.

The side-part bubble cut was almost perfect. I literally just cleaned her and retouched her eyeliner.

The second bubble cut was very sticky and missing most of her makeup. I cleaned her twice and zapped her face a few times to delay/prevent more stickiness. She got a different face to the one I planned, but I'm happy with how she turned out.

I started a Dollstagram! I figured it would be easier to interact on than my sub-account Tumblr (which I'll still use). Please follow over there if you're interested in my doll drama 💜

Workspace Wednesday!

I’ve wanted the BJD eye backs for so long, but at $8 a pop and 20 dolls… not within reasonable reach atm. So I tossed my brain around and came up with an easy diy. It’s not as clean or pretty as the plastic magnetic ones, but no one is going to see them and they aren’t all that hard to fix/remake.

Night is showing off his suspicious look.

ILY 4 Ever Disney Dolls ✨ New Collection by Disney store available soon on Shopdisney and Target 😍 These are the 6 dolls in the collection… There is also a lot of accessories, check my next post for fashion/accessory packs!

To clear up confusion: These dolls are NOT Disney characters, they are not meant to be the princesses. These are just some girls who love to go to the park and their outfits are inspired by their favorite princesses.... it’s called Disney Bounding, it means dressing like a Disney character using regular clothes. It's a fun way to embody a favorite character without wearing a full costume. You can DisneyBound in everyday life, but it also adds a little extra fun when visiting any of the Disney theme parks.
