i stopped by the dollar store again it's becoming part of my routine at this point
honestly one of the highlights of my week things were going great ideas were flowing
masterpieces were being strategized until i heard a familiar scream
i'd recognize that scream anywhere after all i hear it all day long
turns out my neighbor the screaming toddler with space funds
decided to show up at our local dollar store there's not much to do around here she really
wanted this barbie doll head it wasn't even a full barbie doll just the head sick freak she's
very smart very cunning and manipulative she asked her mom mom have i been good this week
no long story short i ended up securing the barbie head another victory fashion doll
poopy mode activated not sure what was so alluring about this but here it is
i got this thing just to rub it in the screaming toddler's face to be honest i had no idea what
to do with it one thing i knew is that i did not want to turn this into another planter
been there done that i've done a good amount of doll makeovers so i figured i'd think of something
to do with her eventually the challenge of this was that it's not even a full doll it's just
a head sniffledorf really took a liking to her hair he wanted to help pull out a few strands
poor barbie i'll have to fix that for you she looks too stereotypically barbie-ish right now
it's okay i thought she needed some color in her life to help bring out her inner beast
barbie's always given me grinchy vibes so i thought green would be the perfect color for
her i read online that you could dye a doll's hair with hot water and food coloring i do my research
i do my research multiple sources said i could do this liars all liars i thought it was working
things were looking good mean and green just like i like it to try and get a more even soak
really get every strand i pulled out her ponytail and gave her another dunk i regret that moment
it was at this point that i realized that she's actually been bald underneath this whole time
like really really bald dollar tree really pulled the fast one what the heck the ponytail was
just a facade a masquerade to trick unsuspecting screaming toddlers and also me poor unsuspecting
me i never saw it coming wouldn't have suspected it the source is said to then quickly dunk her
head under ice water to set the color all that did for me though was wash the color completely out
moving on to plan b i'm mixing up some good old-fashioned green paint with some water i've
resorted to painting her hair i didn't feel like investing in green hair dye today this actually
works pretty well didn't help her hair loss situation at all no but i definitely was able to
paint the few strands she does have a nice bright green just like i like it once i was happy with
her hair color i tied it all up in a ponytail and wrapped it in a towel to keep it out of the way
i started off by wiping down her face entirely and then painting her a nice grinchy green
i popped her head off the neck stand i just wanted to paint that green and just make sure
i don't miss any crevices i'm using some mr super clear to seal in all of the green base
layers i just did alright now finally time for the details you might be slightly disappointed
i'm not good with realism i always go for a cartoony kind of vibe so that's what's happening
to mrs grinch here something wrong here the grinch has very prominent eyebrows and wrinkle features
face wrinkles so yeah i'm really trying to pull off that look without making her look completely
hideous easier said than done it's funny because this is probably the most realistic looking doll
makeover i've ever done i'm pretty proud of how it came out i think you can definitely
tell it's mrs grinch i even added some gloss to her eyes for a little bit of sparkle i think it's
cool to have a little mrs grinch bust to greet santa as he forgets my presence again this year
a lot of people have attempted making gingerbread houses and a lot of people have failed repeatedly
glutton's for punishment i already know i would fail too so i'm just not even gonna try that
instead of making a gingerbread house i've decided to paint one first things first
gonna cover up this whole rose garden i like the whole thing to be painted white just so i
can have a blank slate to work with it's made of like a chipboard kind of material not the best
quality but i mean it was only a dollar now that it's all white i went around and taped
up some of the edges gingerbread houses are always brown since you know they're made of gingerbread
learn something new every day i started sketching out my idea it was a bit hard
to see what i was drawing over the edge of the shelf so my head keeps bobbing into frame what i
liked about this house is that it was a very plain kind of shape i could really make it whatever i
want there's endless possibilities i can have frosting icicles and lollipops growing in the
front yard frosting icicles and lollipops growing in the front yard i just i don't know i feel like
it's a fun little activity and it's only a dollar i also like that it's not as messy as an actual
gingerbread house plus i can keep it forever it's going to have a bright red door i always love when
people paint their front doors an interesting color makes a statement it keeps things
interesting i wanted this gingerbread house to be evil that's kind of what i always try to go for
it was hard though nothing was really sparkling inspiration i feel like gingerbread houses have a
very particular look and if you stray too far from it it just won't look like a gingerbread house
a lot of you guys have probably heard of hansel and gretel the two kids that get lured into a
giant candy house by an evil witch that wants to eat them it's a wonderful nostalgic bedtime story
my idea is that this gingerbread house belongs to the tutu witch the fairy godmother of the
dark side when she's not granting wishes she's busy farting up a storm
as one does if you're new here and you don't want to smell the tutu witch's floral farts
you should consider selling your soul to me by subscribing to my channel and ringing that bell
thing so you don't lose me on the internet i post new videos every friday you gotta mask that whole
gassy smell somehow rather than air fresheners she chooses to cover it all up with the sweet
smell of cheap candy how delightful i wanted it to look like she's cooking up a spell in there or
maybe doing us all a favor and cooking up screaming toddlers with space buns
just a thought a recommendation i put it out there it's not meant to look perfect
that's part of the charm i made the frosting icicles out of white puffy paint to give it
a 3d icing look i think that really brought the whole thing together in fact i loved the look of
the icing so much that i decided to add some more squiggly puffy paint lines all around i felt like
the gingerbread house could still use a little something something so i pulled out the epoxy
i'm starting off by making tiny little balls a lot more than i need
i painted them a few different colors felt festive and whatnot i just kind of stuck
them around all over the place fit the whole candy and gingerbread house vibe
delicious i also happened to pick up a mermaid cosmetic bag at the dollar store oh the
i actually thought it was a pencil case i just realized it was a cosmetic bag for sassy chicks
right now as i was going through the footage that's embarrassing that's okay it looks very
sparkle buddish so of course something has to be done about that can't have pink mermaid tails on
the dark side instead it's gonna be a bag of flesh sorry did i scare you for this base coat i used
fabric paint since the bag is kinda like fabric canvas or something i'm not good with materials
but the rest i actually did with posca pens and nothing seems to be peeling off or anything
so that's nice i sketched out the most christmassy person of them all the jolly old jingle butt
himself santa claus my idea is that the bag is a very zoomed in version of his face and then
the zipper is his mouth that's what he uses to gobble up all the cookies or pencils or cosmetics
or whatever else i want to throw in there it's a stylized version of santa it's supposed to
be my kind of cartoony version of him the hardest part about painting this bag was getting into all
the crevices and folds trying to paint those as evenly as possible was a slight challenge
he's got a very bushy mustache that's kind of his thing his beard and his mustache i painted
it a little disheveled he's supposed to look a little crazy i like to imagine santa as a little
out there slightly deranged but in a jolly way the pink under his mustache is supposed to be the
top of his lips it's not a butt it may look like a butt but it's not a butt but does that make sense
i couldn't just leave the back plane i took a while to think of what to draw on the back
eventually i thought why not mrs claus everyone always forgets about mrs claus the disrespect
i kinda imagine mrs claus to look exactly the same as santa claus minus the beard of course
she has little reading glasses her eyesight left her long ago i wanted her expression to contrast
with santa's santa looks derpy and kinda crazy mrs claus on the other hand looks like she's just done
with life judging every single thing santa does with such judgement in her eyes just let the poor
guy be jolly i tried to make her hair and his hat meet perfectly in the center really tried to clean
that up and just try to layer on the color as much as i could to make sure the paint job didn't peel
off or crack or anything i sealed everything in with some glossy varnish give it a nice shiny
finish and there you go mr and mrs claus two jolly old jingle butts to ring in the christmas season
i'll give you anything you want sweetie
just click on the top right or bottom what hey that's my job get out of here
you
