Now that the 100 Days of Doll Play is over, I have more time for some of the other regular features on Doll Diaries like Wilde Wednesday, Spotlight Sites (coming up this weekend), more hairstyles and other goodies.
For some reason I find working with Ellowyne’s hair very relaxing – especially my original Ellowyne, Dark Days who I named Elle.
So I was sitting at my desk trying to decide what to work on next and started playing with Elle’s hair. She ended up with a do that looks a lot like “I Dream of Jeannie” with her ponytail up on her head.
I took one piece of her ponytail and braided it, then wrapped it around the elastic and secured it in the back by slipping the end through the braid. This does two things – adds dimension to the ponytail and creates lift so her ponytail doesn’t just hang there.
But wait, there’s more! Before her hair went in a ponytail, I turned Elle upside down and did a french braid starting at the base of her neck. I think it looks pretty cool. I would like to try it again on her but do a tight fishtail braid starting at the base of her neck instead. Then I want to do this french braid technique on one of the AG dolls whose hair is not quite as long.
Ellowyne is just SO photogenic!
So, would you like me to do a tutorial on her hairstyle? Would it be helpful?
Madelon’s Ellowyne is a lucky girl. She inherited this cute Irish school outfit from a porcelain doll that met an early demise (as in she broke). I just love the mini Claddagh pin.
For any of our readers that have Ellowyne dolls from Wilde Imagination, you are always welcome to send in photos of your Ellowynes for Wilde Wednesday.
Have a great day! I may add another post this evening, but I’m headed to the golf course today.

Wow that is an amazing hairstyle! I love the Irish ellowyne,
i love the hairstyles you should try them on julie
yay shes back! i love wide wednesdays!!
She’s so pretty! I’ve heard of that show, but never watched it. I wanna!
I love I dream of Jeanie! Great show. So was Bewitched, and the Twilight Zone. I’ve done similar hairstyles to that with the french braid starting at her neck. I had to do a fancy hairdo for my cosmetology class last year and I french braided my styling head upside down like Char’s, but instead of the ponytail I seperated the front hair into two parts. The very front, I put in an elastic, but left enough hair to swoop and pin to the side. I put the other hair in an elastic, then combined both small ponytails into one large one. I then curled the ponytail, and added a beaded barette. It looked stunning! Reminded me of Cinderella.
i know this is off topic but char can you make an intrument for 18” dolls please i’m in band but i don’t know how to make any intruments and i know myfroggystuff shows how us how to make one but it was for a barbie sized doll but anyway can you or karen make one please reply mya

YAYYY WILDE WEDNESDAYS<3
Elle’s hair looks SO COOL! I want to try that with my hair.
I have Essential Ellowyne 4 in blonde from ebay. I’d love to play with her hair, but I can’t make myself take it out of those two braids she came with because they’re so pretty and I got the front part of her hair to fall just right. I may have to get another one with straight hair just so I can play with it. Time to go check ebay…. ;D
@mya– what sort of instrument do you need? If it’s something more two dimentional, like a guitar, you can print off a picture and trace it onto cardboard (to make it stiff). For drums you can use oatmeal containers and cans (just have a parent help you tape over or sandpaper off the sharp edges!). There were directions in the 100 Days of Doll Play for a piano/keyboard. Are there any others that you need?
I love i dream of genie!
Mya, she made a keyboard.
That is so pretty! I can barely do a braid
I’m happy that you can start doing spotlight site again!
~K~
Love the hair style! It turned out great! I learned how to french braid on a barbie doll! Now with larger dolls there’s so many more options!
I have not actually watched I dream of Jeannie but I have heard of it. This is so cute, I am going to try it on my doll!
Please do the tut for ag dolls with not so long hair!! Kit and nellie need new styles.
Video plz!!!
Wow, one of my friends said she had learned and wanted to trry iit on my hair. Between my two AG dolls, Molly is the only one whose length will work for this style.
Does anyone think it’s weird that I want MY hair like that???
I would love a tutorial!
Kassidy – not at all. That is a great style for anytime.
I. LOVE. THIS. HAIR. Please make a tutorial! Ellowyne is so pretty! I do not know what Wilde Wednesday is, but I am exited to see!
Char- Can I send you a tutorial on how to paint your AG’s nails?
Yes you may send that in.
