Makies are $115, plus shipping from London. That is a lot of money for a doll, but it is totally worth it. Though, I do want to make sure that my Makie is just right for my likes, so I have a special approach for designing the doll, her clothes, her story, and her home. I call it "The Theme Approach". Here are the steps that I am using to perfect beautiful Evie.
- Come up with a list of personality approaches. For Evie, I used whimsical, natural, smart, silly, sweet, sassy, punk, and sporty.
- Decide which one you want. I couldn't decide between natural and silly, so I did the next step for both and then decided.
- Make the doll online at http://makie.me/. Include her personality in her eyes and hair.
- Decide her clothes. Try and fir them the best you can with her personality. Think about colors, too!
- Design a house. I did this on a digital program, knowing the set up of her "yard".
- Build the house. Look for my craft tutorials that will be up soon!
- Buy your Makie and enjoy. I still have yet to do this step....
