🎃 HAPPY HALLOWEEN 🎃 What better way to celebrate my favorite holiday than to do another spooky craft. Starting with a classic: The Nightmare Before Christmas! The inspiration for this came when I was reminiscing about my old Disney VHS tapes from the 90s. Sadly, along with my original Polly Pockets, we gave them away. Of course now they're insanely expensive, so rather than buying them on eBay, I decided to recreate one with my own special twist.
I’m so excited to repaint Mermaid Cove from the Hidden Hideouts collection! It’s another highly requested one and I’m sorry it took so long for me to do. I took inspiration from the vintage Polly Pocket Mermaid Adventure Storybook. And yes, I covered the entire compact in glitter!
For my fourth Polly Pocket repaint, it’s time to finally do the much requested Flutterfic Forest from the Hidden Hideouts collection. Overall, I wanted a very woodsy feel to my repaint. As far as I’m concerned, the butterflies can be fairies living in a magical forest.
I decided to take my favorite holiday and favorite toy and create a Halloween-themed Polly Pocket! I call this Vampire Mansion and it's a compact filled with miniature gothic furniture made of polymer clay. I found this wooden coffin at Michael's and it inspired me. This might be a start to me turning things into Polly Pockets.
Repainting Polly Pockets is a fun way to give them a brand new life, whether they're vintage or modern. Follow along this tutorial to see my tips and tricks for giving your Pollies a makeover.
For my third Polly Pocket repaint, I asked you guys to choose and you picked Moon Rockin' Adventure from the Hidden Hideouts collection. I was excited to do this one because I've really been wanting to paint space-y things lately. I wanted to do a vibrant cartoony look that's futuristic but also retro. That makes total sense, right?
For my second Polly Pocket repaint, I really wanted to do Dino Discovery. It's actually my favorite from the Hidden Hideouts collection because I love dinosaurs. I wanted to do a very primal, jungly, prehistoric look. Come see the results!
One of the complaints that people have about the modern Polly Pockets is they're not as detailed as the vintage ones. No one can beat the original Polly, but I decided to try my hand at painting one of the new ones to give it more detail. I've always wanted to try this but was afraid of messing up and ruining it. But spoiler alert...it turned out pretty dope! Be on the lookout for more Polly Pocket repaints!
I show my techniques, tips, and tricks on how I restore my vintage Polly Pockets. I demonstrate cleaning and polishing the compact, restoring the logo, and painting the dolls.
