Cut Out + Keep

Ballerina Box

Giving new life to an old make up container and a kinder joy toy

https://www.cutoutandkeep.net/projects/ballerina-box • Posted by Kin Dragon

This project was something I'd been wanting to do for a while with this kinder joy doll I had. I had tried to make something like this before and failed, and I had been scared to try again. I attempted this with the last kinder joy doll like this that I had. I felt like a little kid again crafting the dress, making the tiny origami roses (seriously these are the smallest origami roses I've ever made), painting the costume and the doll. This was a lot of fun, and it reminded me of "the Nutcracker" movie the Barbie franchise did in the early 2000s. I think that was the icing on the nostalgic cake. P.S. the second picture is of the ballerina before I glued her to the gear and the box.
