Each pattern has detailed instructions and helpful tips from author Gail Ellspermann. You can expect to find useful information such as the finished size, so that you know what the height of the project will be; a basic materials list so that you can plan ahead and gather the recommended items before starting your project; helpful tips, such as when to shrink plastic and how to draw eyes on a face; and so much more. Gail recommends working with shrinkable plastic throughout Divine Divas. She offers useful guidance on working with this medium, such as how to shrink it, how to prepare and sand it, and how to trim the plastic. You can also decorate it using crafter's ink, chalk, pastels, or colored pencils. Krylon fixative is also recommended for doll projects, as it prevent your finished craft item from smearing.
