Adventures in Webkinz #1: Building a Treasure Island Inspired Room


Hi everyone,  

I did some posts on Pixie Hollow in the past. So, I thought I'd do a post on Webkinz, which is another virtual world I really enjoy. Webkinz recently came out with a 3D version of the game (which I have not yet played), in this post I will be talking about Webkinz Classic rather than Webkinz Next. 

Here is the video I made about it. I thought it would be neat to make a room based on a book so I chose Treasure Island. I hope you enjoy it:

Mustache Crown Award (Part two): The Hairstyle Tutorial


Here's the second part of the Mustache Crown award, which is the hairstyle tutorial. 

Also, as a reminder, you can still vote for your favorite caption here

But let's get started: 

Firstly, you need a doll with long hair. I am using Julie for this, because her hair is very long. But any 18 inch doll with the hair the length of Julie's would work too. 

And you also need a pony-tail holder of some kind. 

For Julie, one side of her hair is already braided, but if your doll's hair isn't braided on both sides braid it. 

Next, put the two braids together and then begin wrapping them as you would a normal braid (but instead with only the two braids of hair). Tie them off at the end with a pony tail holder. 

            Now that you're done, here is what the hairstyle looks like from the front and the side:

What's your favorite hairstyle to wear or do on your dolls?
