Heavy Baby?

[mercy589]

I just saw something posted about this in another section, and I love it! I want one! lol er, DD wants one... How hard would it be to make? Has anyone bought the kit and done it? Should I get the premade head too, I've not made one before...

I recently made one (my first doll) for DD. I purchased premade everything and it took about half an hour/forty-five minutes to put together. I probably would've done fine without the premade body/bunting but glad had the premade head! It was very easy to put together

Oh really?! Good to know! I was thinking of definitely getting the head premade. I'm glad its not too hard though. What did you use for stuffing and where did you find it?

I bought millet at my local grocery store and followed the directions (sprinkled some lavendar oil on it and baked it at 250, I think, for just a short while) That's the only stuffing the heavy babies need.

Really, you have to bake it? I wouldn't have guessed that!

I think I'm going to go the kit route too. I'm really excited about the concept, but am just not up to a whole project right now.
