I just LOVE it when our readers send photos of the wonderful things they have made for their dolls! Sarah sent in a few photos of accessories they made for Kaya and they are just amazing! I have actually emailed her back asking if she would share a tutorial or two on how she made them.
This is a cradleboard for Kaya’s doll or for a baby to be carried in.
And here is the cradleboard with a “doll” in it.
How amazing is this Tepee??? I tried making a tepee this summer and failed miserably.
Kit looks adorable in her “deerskin” outfit.
And I love this little handwoven basket, too.
Sarah, it is evident that a whole lot of love and creativity went into this! They turned out amazing and I am so glad you shared them with us!












firstie cute!
WOW! That’s amazing! I think you did better than AG! Nice work!
I’d buy that if I had Kaya. Go Made in America!
Wow! I, too, would love to see some tutorials on how to make these things. My Kaya will be super happy when I come home and show her this! ^_^
That is amazing!!!!!! I am going to buy kaya soon, and would LOVE a tutorial on them!! You could probably sell those!
Beautiful! And I, too, would love a tutorial or two.
That is AWESOME! I especially love the teepee– if you can make your own, you can decide how big or small you want it!
Thank you for sharing these, Sarah! And yes, I would like to see tutorials. : )
Yea maybe i’ll use it too
a tent for camp or make my Kanani an indian XD
@kananirulz Your username is so true! XD
This is amazing!
Thank you so much for sharing Sarah! Yes, just like everyone else, I would love a tutorial on this stuff. Thank you again so much, both Char and Sarah!
Amazing! Absolutely love the tepee!
Oh. My. Gosh.
TALENT!!!!!!!!!!!! That’s all I can saw. Talent. xD
Delaney~ AGEREED!!!!! Sarah~ you have a gift. and you definitely should use it!!!!!!
Woah! I can’t believe someone made those! Please send a tutorial!
Oops. Typo! Say not saw. xD
Oh my goodness! These crafts are totally cute! I love it!
love it!
Adollable. Soo cool!!
Interesting. Looking forward to the upcoming posts. I’ve recently embarked on a similar project – see my blog for details. So far it has been REALLY fun to control my own quality. I just ordered actual porcupine quills to die and out of which make Kaya’s necklace. Many complaints about AG projects (tepee too small/unstable, tight belts, impractical moccasins) can be fixed by using hand-made items.
Tutorials would be great; I’m stumped on how to sew the dress while having side fringe without having annoying visible stitches.
Natalie~I looked at your blog as soon as I read your comment. I LOVE it! It is a fantastic idea! Please please please (I rarely beg people on DD
) post more. Your ideas for alternative doll companies (specifically Kaya) were very insightful, as I had only heard of three previously. Thank you again!
Cute! You have to show us how to make that tepee!
These are wonderful!
Wow! That looks really well made and that they would take hours to make. Great job!
Sarah, I would love to know how to make the “cradleboard” and “tepee”, along with the “basket”. I love how it looks like it would have been like Kaya’s- it is very realistic, and I admire you!
You HAVE to do a post on tutorials about Kaya! Hey, Char, you should do a Throwback Thursday on Kaya! (If you have her, that is…)
i <3 it! My doll loves to pretend to be things.
‘She’s a spirited girl who uses her imagination to create art and inspire change.’
This was on the AG website! Why would they give away clues?
Really cute items!
This girl should sell these items She could get $ 30.00 4 the doll and cradle board and $30.00 4 the deerskin outfit too and 100.00 4 the tepee
You have spectacular talent Sarah!
Cool work, Sarah!
WOW! i wish i knew how to make this
