Upcycling nesting dolls: in this post I am going to show you how I upcycled a thrifted set of upcycled dolls into a Nativity set.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I guess you all know now how much I love thrifting and vintage finds, we visit feels markets almost weekly and we now have some experience when it comes to buy second hand stuff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But we’ll never stop learning and we obviously make mistakes from time to time and that’s what happened last month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We went to a flea market and a lady was selling different sets of nesting dolls. I started to look at two of them and she kindly told me the price and that I could open and check the dolls if I wanted, but she mentioned that the steps were complete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was a bit crowded and a kid came and started to look to the second set, so I trust the lady, bought the set and once at home opened the dolls to clean them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Surprise surprise the set wasn’t complete and the smallest doll was a mix of 2 different sets!
Beginner’s mistake!<\/p>\n\n\n\n


But well, I thought that we could paint the dolls and made a Nativity set for Christmas, a fun activity with the girls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Upcycled<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We painted everything white first and then drew the characters with permanent markers.
Then paint again and varnish.
They really love to play with them now? #momwins<\/p>\n\n\n\n
