Indoor Blythe projects are a lovely way to spend a rainy afternoon or a quiet weekend. You do not need special tools for most of them, just your doll and a few things from around the house. Here are ten ideas, from quick to cosy and long.

10 Indoor Blythe Projects

  1. Restyle her hair. Try a braid, a bun or new bangs. See Blythe doll hair care.
  2. Build a shoebox room. Fabric scraps, a matchbox bed and a photo frame window.
