Dolls Bike Helmet

Posted 2013-02-22 by Jane Street ⇒ follow
Bike helmet on and ready to go


My daughter loves riding her bike and really wanted to get a bike helmet for her doll. Here's an easy way to make your own doll's bike helmet which is surprisingly easy and costs next to nothing. Younger children will be able to do the gluing and sticking but will need help holding the doll still and guiding the shape of the helmet.

Time: 30 minutes plus one day drying time
Age: Under 5's with help, 5-10's, Over 10's, Any Age
Level: Medium

Materials
  • Coloured tissue paper
  • PVA glue
  • Cling film
  • Craft varnish or clear nail varnish
  • Brush

    • Cheap materials


    Method
  • Cover the doll's head in cling film

    • Ready for paste


  • Make a paste with 3 parts PVA glue to 1 part water
  • Brush the paste over the cling film on the doll's head

    • Paste over the cling film


  • Tear up strips of coloured tissue paper
  • Place the tissue over the gluey cling film

    • Young children can enjoy pasting and sticking strips of coloured tissue


  • Brush more paste onto the tissue and add another layer of tissue paper, building up the shape of a helmet
  • You can roll a piece of tissue paper and stick it on to make a visor shape. Cover with lots more paste.

    • You can make different shapes by adding rolls of tissue and brushing on lots of paste


  • Keep going until you have a good shape and a decent thickness
  • You can add contrasting tissue paper to make stripes. Or you could glue on other embellishments.

    • We added some contrasting red stripes


  • Once you're happy with the shape, leave to dry on the doll's head overnight
  • When dried out, remove the bike helmet and apply varnish to give a shiny hard finish

    • Use clear nail varnish if you dont have craft varnish


  • Carefully peel out the cling film

    • Peel back the cling film


  • Apply more varnish to the inside

    • When dry, the bike helmet is ready to wear!

    Ready for a bike ride


    You could also make yellow safety hard hats, black horse riding hats or other funky head wear. Please share your creation by uploading a picture on the comments section.
