The Cabbage Patch Doll.

 The Cabbage Patch Doll.

 

I can remember as a child, I wanted a Cabbage Patch Doll. My mom got me one, and I play with it as if it was a real baby. Once, I had my daughter, I knew her first costume would be a just that, a Cabbage Patch Doll.

Before beginning the costume design, I knew I had to find the iconic hair piece for the costume, bangs with pigtails. I turned to trusty Google, which led me to the perfect one. I found a shop on Etsy, that crochets hats that resembles the iconic hair. Once I placed the order, it was time to work on the prop.

                               The Box:

Using a Roku Tv box, I created a doll box to capture the perfect pictures of my baby. I had my husband spray paint it yellow, while I cut out some flowers and a logo on my Cricut machine. I sealed the window of the box with some cellophane, from the Dollar Tree, and wrap the inside with wrapping paper.

 

The Outfit:

I found a free SVG on the internet of the cabbage patch logo. Using my Cricut machine, I cut out an image on heat transfer vinyl ( HTV) and placed the image on a Gerber Onesie. I made a tutu out of 6-inch tulle on the roll, and some ribbon. Just like that, my cabbage patch doll was alive!!
