How to make a Monster High doll - two ways
Two methods will be presented below. Using the second, you can remake a Barbie doll or similar in Monster High. The first option will teach you how to make a Monster High out of polymer clay. If you like this type of needlework, you can create the heroine of this cartoon not only for your children, but also as a gift for others. Having filled your hand, if you wish, you can make Monster High, so that you can then sell them.
To implement the idea of the first option, take:
- white polymer clay and granite color;
- doci;
- a knife blade;
- a nail file;
- the remains of polymer clay;
- artificial hair tres;
- acrylic paints;
- acrylic lacquer;
- A4 paper sheet;
- simple pencil;
- eraser;
- scissors;
- pins;
- pin;
- pliers;
- the cloth.
Dotsi are tools that allow you to paint on your nails. You can buy pins at a sewing store. The next two photos show what these tools look like. If you do not have them, replace them with similar devices.
If you have not done plastic before, you have no remnants of this material, then take the one that you plan to use the least. This is usually green polymer clay.
Blind a round head from these unnecessary pieces, then pull it out in the chin area, press it into the eye sockets. You can make your favorite doll by reading the previous article, which tells how to draw Monster High.
The principles of creating this part for these heroines are the same. This master class will tell you how to make Rochelle Goyle, who is also one of the heroines of the cartoon "School of Monsters".
A little about her. This girl has an unusual skin color and original ears, she is a gargoyle. Her skin is a mixture of gray, white and black, which makes the coating look like granite. Use this property when creating Rochelle Goyle. The girl's hair is pink, interspersed with blue strands.
Having formed the head from unnecessary pieces of plastic, stick a pin from the pin into the neck area, bake the head in the oven at 130 degrees for 15 minutes. If you took a different type of plastic, look in the instructions at what temperature it hardens.
Mix white plastic with granite-colored polymer clay. If you take only the latter, without light, then the skin will turn out to be too dark. Place the mixture on Rochelle Goyle's head. Roll one, then the second sausage from the same material. Use these parts as the lips of the doll, attach them in place with the doci. Make her nose in the same way, send the face blank again to bake in the oven for 15 minutes, during which time make other parts of the head.
To make ears, break off a piece of polymer clay and form a triangle out of it. Make two horizontal indentations on them with the help of the dots.
Bend the tip of the ear back a little, style the second in the same way. Attach these pieces to the head, which is baked by then. Now place this blank in the oven for 15 minutes. Do not waste time, and form the body of Monster High Rochelle Goyle from unnecessary plastic. Insert the pin into one shoulder, slide it through the other. Also place the pins where your feet will be.
During this time, the head is baked, try it on to the neck. Secure with a pin. But this is not the final stage yet. You just made a groove in the body, now also send it to harden in the oven.
Cover your body with polymer clay leather created from white and granite.
Blind 2 breasts from the same mass, form small protruding collarbones, which create plastic from two small "sausages". Add some polymer clay to the belly area and make a belly button here. Put the blank to bake.
Turn the doll over to the opposite side, with the same tool its spine is formed. Roll a ball out of plastic, make buttocks for our heroine.
Put this body part of the Monster High Rochelle Goyle doll back in the oven for 15 minutes. Now take the head, use the pin to connect it to the body.
If the metal bar is too long, shorten it with pliers. Do the same with the pins on which you will put your arms and legs. To make the limbs and head fit well to the body, use a utility knife blade to make cuts on them where you will attach them to the base.
From the same polymer clay, form a sausage in the shape of a doll's hand, and make the second one in the same way. Place them in the oven to harden.
At this time, break off a small piece of the same plastic, attach it to the doll's forehead. Take a larger ball, glue it to the back of your head to make it more bulging.
Take your hands out of the oven. While they are hot, insert a pin into each of them. When the workpieces are cold, it will be more difficult to do this.
Take the metal rod out of your hand, grease its end with superglue, and stick it in again. Fasten the reverse side of the rod at the shoulder. Here you do not glue the pin so that the hand can move. Also attach the second one.
Make the lower part of the arm in the form of a sausage, attach to the upper one. Blind two parts of the legs, up to the knee and below it. Attach your feet here, and to the hands of your palm, cut out the gaps to make 4 fingers. Fifth, you mold from the remains of polymer clay. Send the blanks to harden in the oven.
Take them out, cool, go over the surface with a fine sandpaper to sand.
To make a Monster High hairstyle, cut a small lock from the pink fake hair, brush it with superglue, and attach it to the head. Glue all hair of this color in the same way. Then attach the blue strands.
Help yourself with a toothpick. Gather all hair with an elastic band, remove the head from the body. Now the skills learned from the first article on this topic will come in handy, since you will need to draw the eyes of the Monster High doll. Also depict the eyelashes and pupils. Paint over its squirrels with white paint.
Draw the eyelashes, the lens in black, circle the eyes. With light brown, depict the eyebrows, pupils, paint glare on them with white paint.
Carefully paint the upper lip with black paint and the lower lip with pink. When these surfaces are dry, paint pink on the upper lip and black on the lower.
Give Rochelle a manicure using black paint. Add shine to eyes, lips, nails by covering these parts with acrylic varnish.
To make the dress of the Monster High doll, place the silver fabric with the front surface on her body, wrapping it around it. Sew here with a basting stitch on the arms using black thread. Trim off excess fabric, leaving seam allowances.
Mark the length of the dress, cut off excess fabric.
Now you need to make three flounces of black fabric, the length of each is 2 times the final length. Make the lower shuttlecock the widest, the upper one the narrowest, and the central one the middle in width.
Gather each shuttlecock at the top, sew the edges. Connect the tops of these trims and stitch them to the bottom of the hem of the dress. Cut two strips out of the same black fabric, stitch them vertically onto the back.
Sew Velcro on the back of these black stripes on the back. Close the junction of the flounces with the bottom of the dress with a ribbon cut out of silver fabric, tie at the back with a bow. Sew black tape to the left shoulder.
Now you know how to make a Monster High Roshal doll with your own hands.
If this method seemed too laborious for you, then use the second one.
How to convert a doll into a Monster High character?
To create the look you like, take:
- clear nail polish;

See what kind of Monster School heroine you would like to make. Their eyes are drawn in the same way, but sometimes using different colors. To do this, you need to first paint the eyeball with white acrylic paint, then circle the eyes with black paint. Depending on what kind of heroine she is, apply shadows of the appropriate color. In this case, they are green.
Light brown eyebrows. Using the same or a different paint, paint the pupils. Draw the lens with black and the pupils with white. Also, with the help of paint, you need to highlight the lips. If the character has fangs, draw them.

Furniture for Monster High dolls: master class
It is also not necessary to buy it, you can make it yourself from simple materials. Let's make such a wonderful chair in which the dolls can rest.
To create this piece of furniture you will need:
- pieces of fabric;
- synthetic winterizer;
- lace;
- a sheet of cardboard;
- glue gun;
- newspapers;
- milk carton.
A washed and dried milk carton or juice box is the basis of a doll chair. To make his armrests, put newspapers on a piece of cardboard of the appropriate size, roll this blank into a roll. Measure its dimensions to cut out a piece of padding polyester.
Wrap these rollers with it, sew or seal the joint with tape. Also make a padding polyester pattern to close the milk box with it. See how much fabric you need to sew the chair cover.
Cover the seat with cloth, fix the joints with a glue gun. Stitch the side seams of each roller in the machine or on your hands, gather from the 1st and 2nd sides of the sidewall with a thread, tighten, tie them in a couple of knots.
At the bottom of the seat, you will need to sew a frill, for this cut out a rectangular ribbon from the same fabric, its length should be 2-3 times longer than the perimeter of the seat. This value depends on how you want this detail to be splendor. Fold over this tape at the top and bottom, sew on a typewriter. Fold in the folds, secure them with a safety pin or basting hand seam. Stepping back from the top of the ribbon 3-4 cm, sew the lace braid.
Cover 4 flat buttons with fabric and sew each of these pieces to one side of the roller.
Make the back curly by cutting it out of cardboard. Also cover with padding polyester, then fabric. Glue this part to the seat, put rollers and decorative pillows here, which you can sew from circles of cardboard. A synthetic winterizer is put on them on both sides, all this is covered with fabric.
Monster High clothes can be hung on hangers, you can make a similar design yourself.
To do this, take:
- a small rectangular wooden box;
- two narrow boards
- wooden bar;
- black paint in a spray can;
- glue;
- small screws.
Attach wood planks to one and the other small side of the wood box. At the top, connect them with a barbell, gluing it to the blanks.
To make the structure firmly connected, wrap it with electrical tape for a while, leave it until the next morning to dry the glue.
Now you can put it on unnecessary sheets of paper, cover it with spray paint in black.
Once it's dry, you can place the hangers. If you do not have such dolls, then let an adult use a drill to make holes in the center of the wooden bars, insert a wire here, bending it from above in the form of a hook.
Can be used for cardboard backing by gluing or attaching 4 layers. In the center of such a blank, you need to make a hole with a shell, also insert the wire, bend its top with a hook, and make a small loop at the bottom so that the wire does not jump out of the base.
If you want to make a wardrobe for Monster High, then take:
- colored paper;
- sheets of cardboard;
- scissors;
- pencil;
- ruler;
- glue.
Put a sheet of white cardboard in front of you, mark 2 cm from the bottom and top vertically, draw two horizontal lines. On them, mark three segments 6 cm long, draw these three vertical lines.
Measure another 4 cm from above, draw a horizontal line parallel to the first. On the just made segment to the right and left of the second vertical line, measure 3 cm each. Connect each of these points to the corresponding point on the upper horizontal segment, and draw a line down from one and the other side also to the corresponding point.
Erase construction lines. Departing from the extreme 2 cm, draw the lines for gluing the shelves and along the strip for gluing the sides of the cabinet.
See how to make the Monster High closet next. You need to draw the detail shown in the following photo. The side stripes on it are of equal width - 2 cm.
The next detail is the sides of the cabinet, where the gluing strips are already marked.
Next, draw up, the shelves of the cabinet, cut out these details.
Using double-sided tape, attach them to the main element.
Then glue the top and bottom shelf.
Glue the doors that should open well. The inside of the cabinet needs to be pasted over with black paper, and on the outside, glue the red one.
To make a barbell for dresses, attach a handle bar under the top shelf. You can buy Monster High stickers, or you can draw them yourself and cut them out of paper. Attach these elements to the inside and outside of the cabinet, decorating it this way.
Draw hangers for dresses on a piece of cardboard, cut out these details, you can paint them red or black, or combine it.
