"Handcrafted Dolls Inspired by 'Bridgerton' Series Using Wooden Spoons as Material"
Inspired by classic doll crafts and paper toys, this tutorial guides you through creating Bridgerton spoon dolls for your favourite characters. Although direct search results for Bridgerton-inspired spoon dolls are scarce, this step-by-step guide is based on general spoon doll crafting techniques and Bridgerton character traits.
Materials Needed
- Wooden spoons (one per character)
- Acrylic paints (skin tones, clothes, facial features)
- Fine paintbrushes
- Fabric scraps (for dresses, suits, ribbons)
- Lace and ribbon trims (for Regency-style details)
- Yarn or embroidery thread (for hair)
- Hot glue gun and glue sticks
- Scissors
- Markers or fine-tip pens (for detail work)
- Optional: small beads or faux pearls (for jewelry/accessories)
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Prepare the Spoon Base
- Clean wooden spoons and let dry.
- Paint the spoon bowl with skin tone paint to create the face area; let dry.
- Design the Face
- Using fine brushes or markers, paint eyes, eyebrows, nose, and mouth resembling each Bridgerton character's distinct look.
- For example, Lady Violet's dignified expression, Daphne’s gentle smile, Eloise’s mischievous gaze.
- Create Hair
- Cut yarn to desired hair length matching the character's hairstyle. For example, Daphne’s elegant updo, Eloise’s curly hair, Anthony’s neat hair.
- Glue yarn to the back of the spoon’s handle and style accordingly.
- Optionally, add lace ribbons or tiny accessories like small faux pearls for hair ties.
- Make Clothing
- Cut fabric scrap into Regency-era dress shapes or waistcoats for men.
- Use lace to create collars, sleeves, or ruffles.
- Glue the fabric around the spoon’s handle to form the outfit.
- For men (Colin, Benedict, Anthony, Gregory), use miniature fabric waistcoats and cravats.
- For women (Lady Violet, Daphne, Francesca, Eloise, Hyacinth), create empire waist dresses with layered fabric and lace.
- Add Accessories
- Use small beads to mimic jewelry like earrings or brooches.
- Add tiny ribbons or bows.
- Finishing Touches
- Let all glue dry thoroughly.
- Optionally, add a thin coat of sealer on painted areas to preserve the paint.
- Attach a small string loop at the back if you want to hang the dolls.
Character Specific Ideas:
- Lady Violet: Elegant hairstyle, pearl necklace (tiny beads), rich dark fabrics.
- Daphne: Blonde updo, pastel blue or pink dress with lace trim.
- Francesca: Simpler hairstyle, soft colors, and floral accents.
