Valentine Nosegays

**JuliaAM** · February 12th, 2006, 11:12 PM

Here's a pretty little treat, Valentine Nosegays, for your AG doll. This project takes more time than the mini chocolates but I hope someone tries it out.

I have a bunch of craft ideas under wraps for AG. Alas, many of the doll-size crafts I really want to make are too ambitious for AG to use in their publications. But I just had to share this one with you all because it's fun and I won't be marketing it elsewhere. I'd love to know if any girls make these petite Valentine's Nosegays. [img]smile.gif[/img]

[img]rolleyes.gif[/img] Has AG published some of your ideas already? Or are you trying to get them too?

That's so cool! [img]graemlins/rose.gif[/img] [img]biggrin.gif[/img]

That is sooo cute! [img]biggrin.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/thumbs_up.gif[/img] Are there any crafts like that in the craft book you made for AG?

Amazing Julia!!!! those were so cute! Thank you for sharing your crafty idea!

Thank you all kindly for the compliments of my crafts. [img]smile.gif[/img] I must pass on the hair-dressing compliments to my son's fiance. She fixed my Holly Elizabeth's hair in a bow.

She is amazing when it comes to AG doll hair! She had to go back to Mass this past weekend and I miss her terribly. I'll be glad when she moves back down here permanently. I have declared her to be my official doll hairdresser. [img]wink.gif[/img] She can do anything with doll hair, any kind of french-braiding, fish tail braids and the bow you saw on Holly Elizabeth.

I should have paid attention to how the hair bow was made. There are at least 6 doll bobby pins and I think 3 hair ties holding the bow together. The hair was spritzed lots with water during the styling. The hair bow is pretty durable and really cute. I'll have to take some photos from other angles so you can see it.

Why don't you make a book of things to make for your doll? I would be glad to help you make it.

Those nosegays are so cute, and the way you incorporated chocolate chips into fashioning them is just so creative of you!

I wish there were four more hours in a day because if I had extra time I'd love to try making those.

Your pictures and instructions are well done!
