How to Make a Mannequin out of a Pillow
from wikiHow – The How to Manual That You Can Edit
Have you ever wanted a customized mannequin? This guide will show you how to make your own mannequin out of a pillow. All you need is a little time a pillow with a lot of stuffing, a pole to support your mannequin, safety pins to adjust your size, and a pillow case.
Steps
- Take your measurements with the measuring tape and measure your chest, waist, and hips. Write these numbers down.
- Use your pillow as the body of the mannequin. Mark the spots on the pillow with a pencil on where your chest, waist and hips are. Then you gather some leftover material on the pillow to adjust the pillow to the size and shape of your body, and safety pin it tightly. This may be challenging to get through, but it takes patience.
- Once the pillow is adjusted, take the measuring tape and measure all three areas. If they don’t match your measurements, then keep adjusting with the safety pins. If it matches, move on.
- Put your pillowcase onto the pillow and safety pin it to be the shape the pillow was. Then, insert the pole behind the pillow and there should be a bump sticking out of the top of the pillow , this is the neck.
- Now you can safety pin the bottom to keep the pole from falling out. Set up the mannequin onto a wall or corner and its ready to use!
Things you’ll need
- 1 pillow with lots of stuffing
- 1 pole(preferably metal)
- 10 medium sized safety pins
- 1 roll of measuring tape
- 1 pillowcase
