Another commissioned dolly in the making, love how they come to life as soon as the eyes are in 🩷
Someone commented about my dolls on another site, so let's just clear that up ......
My dolls are not expensive, I don't make much money from them but i enjoy making them.
Everything toy or doll I sell has been UKCA tested, and this takes time, I have to make sure all materials used are compliant, I cant just buy cheap wool and make a toy to sell, it has to have certain certificates to ensure they dont contain any harmful dyes or chemicals, this also goes for the eyes and thread used for eyelashes and mouth. I need to ensure they are always compliant. I also have to have liability insurance (just in case)
This doll has taken me around 9 hours to make and she's nowhere near finished, a finished doll including hair, dress and shoes takes around 16 hours.
So after the costs of materials, and other costs I am not even making £1 an hour profit.
Would you pay £160+ for one of my dolls ? they are unique one of a kind, and no 2 dolls are the same 🫡 No, maybe half that,, still no, 😮 lol don't blame you.
▪️May I also add, I have designed all my dolls myself, I haven't copied a pattern from some one else, many dolls have been made to get the pattern just right, no copyright infringes here‼️
So there you have it, there's alot more to it than you think, but I can assure you my dolls are safe for children of any age, from birth upwards 😊 ###
