Inspired by the popular Bridgerton series and the latest DIY trends on TikTok, here's a fun and creative way to bring your favourite characters to life with spoon dolls. Follow these simple steps to create your very own Regency-era Bridgerton spoon dolls.
Materials Needed: - Wooden or plastic spoons (one per doll) - Acrylic paints (skin tones, hair colours, clothing colours) - Fine paintbrushes - Fabric scraps or lace (for costumes or dresses) - Small ribbons, beads, or miniature embellishments (pearls, hats, etc.) - Glue (hot glue gun or strong craft glue) - Markers or pens (for facial features) - Optional: yarn or thread (for hair)
Step 1: Prepare your spoon base - Paint the spoon handle (the "body") with base clothing colours. - Paint the rounded spoon part as the "face" — use skin-tone acrylic paint as base. - Let dry completely.
Step 2: Add facial features and hair - Use fine brushes or pens to draw eyes, eyebrows, nose, and mouth. - For hair, paint or glue yarn/thread styled to match each Bridgerton character’s iconic hairstyle.
Step 3: Create clothing and accessories - Cut lace or fabric into Regency dress shapes. - Glue fabric around the handle for dresses or suits. - Add small details like ribbons for waistbands, beads for jewelry. - Use lace for collars or sleeves for a period look.
Step 4: Finishing touches - Add miniature accessories (tiny faux pearls, tiny paper fans, miniature hats). - Seal your paint with a clear craft sealer to protect your art.
