Pleaters
There are some tools on the doll makers work bench that are a must have. Pleaters are one of the the must haves. I carry 3 sizes of the Pretty Pleater and one of the Perfect Pleater. Here are some samples of dolls that I have made using "pleated" lace and trims. This will show you the difference in each pleater. I have also use the 1/2" and 1/4" Pretty Pleater to pleat hair for Fairies and for the 20's Marcel Wave bob or for child's hair styles. The key to using the pleater especially for hair is that after steaming make sure it is dry and cool. Keep in mind that if you make bigger dolls the dolls pictured are doll house size 6" and under for scale.
