Pre-Studio Activity #1: DIY Mannequin!

Pre-Studio Activity #1: DIY Mannequin!

Tiandra Ray

Materials Needed:

2-3 Rolls of Duct Tape (one is included in your kit! you can try other types of tape as well, just note that it has to hold a shape)

An old T-shirt or garbage bag (cut out head and armholes)

Plastic Wrap/Plastic Bag (to cover neck area)

Scissors (NOT the ones in your kit - those are for fabric only!!)

Cardboard Circles (from the kit, to cover the arm and neck holes when you are done)

Old linens/bags to stuff the mannequin (I used bed sheets that I'll take out after the class)

Prompt: Follow the video to make a DIY dress form/mannequin. You will definitely need help from an adult for this! 

Tips - Don't tape too tightly, you can always smooth out the mannequin later. When taping, try to follow the curves of the body.
