Fun Ways to Redress Those Extra Skediddlers

Here is something fun you can do with your extra nakie Skediddlers. I took a Kelly "Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy " gift set apart and replaced the Kelly dolls with Anabelle Autodiddle (Raggedy Ann) and Harriet Helididdle (Raggedy Andy). I very carefully repainted their faces with red oil paint and I rerooted their hair with red yarn so they would look even more like the original Raggedy Ann and Andy. This took me sometime, and patience to complete, but I am very happy with the way they turned out.

Hansel and Gretel

Here is another fun thing to do with your extra nakie skediddlers. This time I just simply replaced the Hansel and Gretel Dolls with Rah Rah and Harriet Helididdle.

Valentine Friends

Here is a fun Valentine's set to make for yourself or a friend. I found this cute Kelly set at Target for just $3.24 two days after Valentine's Day. I used a Shirley and Sheila Skediddle this time to replace the Kelly dolls inside the box. I also restyled Shirley's hair.

Princess and Court Jester

The Skediddle Kiddles fit the Kelly outfits quite well as you can see here with a Tracy Trikediddle redressed as a princess and a Lickety Spliddle redressed as a court jester.

Redress Your Own Store Bought Kreations !!

Would you like to create these liddle gals? Well here is how. If you go to a Play Company store (or a Kay Bee Toys) you should find these little dolls by Mattel called "Petite Holiday Princesses". Just remove the liddle doll inside and replace it with one of your naked Kiddles. The box can be taken apart from the left-hand corner, without damaging it. Each doll was around $5.00 to buy! What a deal! I did these for just $15.00 for all three, plus the cost of the original Kiddles of course.

Tiny Cabbage Patch Kids redressed by You!

Here is another great idea if you want to try kreating your own kreations from store bought outfits. I have taken a Beddy-Bye Kiddle and redressed her with a tiny cabbage patch-riding outfit I found in my local Kaybee toy store. The horse and stable came as a set with the cabbage patch doll too. I think the cost was about $10.00 (not including the cost of Beddy-bye). Not a bad deal for such a lovely liddle set.

Kiddles with Winnie the Pooh's Cheerful Times Collection!

This time I have taken Biff's head and put it on Babes body so the outfit would fit better. You can get this liddle set to redress your Kiddles at Toys-R-Us. You have to look for "Cheerful Times Collection" a series of beautifully designed toy sets with tiny Winnie the Pooh characters and lovely liddle accessories too. The cost for these liddle sets are about $10.00.
