Finishing
and Assembly Notes:
When
gluing items, it is helpful to place a drop of glue on the tip of a
toothpick; use the toothpick to precisely apply glue to desired spot.
Use photos as a guide to positioning all pieces. I have also
found it helpful to make an assembly board by covering a sturdy sheet
of cardboard with clear plastic wrap. Glue will not
adhere to the plastic wrap, and items can be assembled and left on it
to dry. After items have been starched and dried, I move them from
the blocking surface to the assembly board for gluing and final
assembly.
1: Place
Head, Bodice and Skirt on blocking surface (I use a large
sheet of cardboard covered with white fabric.) Spray with
starch. Shape Skirt and Bodice Trim. Allow to dry.
2: Glue
Hair Strands to Head. Allow to dry.
3:
Place Hat on Head and shape as desired. Glue Hat to Head. Allow
to dry.
4: Glue
Sleeves under Bodice Trim. Glue Hands to ends of Sleeves
5: Place
Background on blocking surface. Place assembled Celeste on
Background. Shape as shown in photo, spray with starch and
allow to dry.
6: Glue
Celeste to Background. Allow to dry.
7:
Glue Broom to Celeste as shown in photo, curling Handle as shown.
Allow to dry.
