DIY - Tailor's dummy Eng/Cz

Hi fellows!

So...how to make your own tailor's dummy? I used this tutorial -> Tailor's dummy tutorial

I think it's pretty easy. You have to just ask for help from someone, buy the silver duct tape (I bought it in stationery). Wear some old tshirt and let your friend or whoever help you wrap.

In the end, you will have perfect copy of your body and it's cheaper than original tailor's dummy (at least in our country...especially when you are poor student :D).

We did this dummy twice. The first one was for Naira. We fill it with expanding foam...but...I wouldn't recommend it because in the end...the foam changed the shape of the body.
The second dummy was for me. I've started to fill it with pieces of crumpled papers and newspapers. And it's much more better!

I also make a stand from wooden rod and hanger :D (lot of duct tape used)

Nazdárek!

Snad poprvé tu píšu něco česky, možná v tom budu pokračovat, protože angličtina není zrovna můj silný jazyk XD

Každopádně, tenhle článek je spíš jen taková reklama na odkaz, který jsem vložila hned na začátku. Je to, dle mého, hezký tutoriál jak na vlastní krejčovskou pannu, pokud jste chudí studenti jako já :D

Potřebujete k tomu jen takovou tu stříbrnou pásku (myslím, že se jí říká i kobercovka), nějaké staré triko, které budete moci pak rozstřihnout a kamaráda, co vám pomůže, protože sám...to byste asi nedali (a pokud jo, hoďte sem tutoriál :D). Celé kouzlo je pak v tom, že vás kamarád/ka obmotá tou páskou (podle toho obrázkového návodu viz. nahoře odkaz), a ve finále jen rozstřihnete záda, znovu slepíte, díry zalepíte třeba kusem kartonu a vyplníte, nejlépe, zmačkanými kousky/útržky novin, papírů atd. Zkoušeli jsme na první pannu montážní pěnu, ale udělalo to jen neplechu a změnilo to tvar panny. Papír/noviny jsou docela lepší, dokonce nám to doporučila prodavačka v galanterce :D

Nu, můžu vám jen popřát hodně štěstí, vážně na tom žádná věda není, je to docela levný (já našla pásky v papírnictví za 44,-) a uděláte si přesnou kopii vašeho těla c:

Průběh a výsledek. Panna ještě není ničím naplněná.

How to wash and comb your wig!

Hello guys!

After summer when I lot of time were my long purple wig for Ririchiyo....the wig looked awfully.
So I started searching for some tutorials "how to wash wig". I found lot of them and most of them were same. I decided to write here my steps of washing and combing wig.

So here is my wig how it looked before:

 

I used: 

• fabric softener
• conditioner
• tower
• hair comb
• hair brush
• hair straightener/iron

The steps:

1. I gently brush it before I put it on bath(tub). Just for loosing up the biggest tangles.
2. Prepare the bath, run the water. Water shoudn't be too cold or too hot!!! Just lukewarm. I added the fabric softener (cup from fabric softener or two caps of this softener should be enough). 
3. I put the wig into the water. I run fingers through the wig. Do not comb it!After this you can pull out the wig from bath. 
4. Carefully dry your wig with the towel and put the wig on some straight place. I used ironing board.
5. Take some mist blower and mix conditioner with water (lukewarm water!). 
6. Devide/seperate the wig to strands. For the each strand use the mist blower with conditioner and comb it. I mostly used the comb than the brush. 
7. When your wig is combed out, let it dry up (wait until it become dry).
8. When the wig is almost dry prepare the hair iron and use it for each strand and comb it out again. 
9. You should be finished! Congratulation! The wig should smell nicely and look better than before :)

If you have some question, feel free to write me :)
