Step 1: Find a Doll

Take a trip to a secondhand store and you can usually find a doll for about $1.50. What a bargoon, and allllll the hard work of building a body frame is done for you.

I stopped by the dollar store and picked up a packet of rubber eyeballs, playdough and plastic teeth. How much have I spent so far? $4.50. And that's all I needed to shell out to make this prop.

I then chopped off most of the doll's hair, leaving some in chunks, knowing I wanted bits of it to come through the skin later. There's no need to actually cut the hair but it's handy to have extra hair on hand, saved in a ziplock bag, for future projects.
