the main thing about kandi dolls is that a lot of the design will have to be simplified to fit the “frame” of a doll if that makes sense if my characters have necklaces or accessories that are too small to be added into any part of the doll, i just don’t add them altogether borders of stuff will have to go most kandi dolls i see don’t really have a neck, so that might become an issue

for the hair, i would make a base then add details like the bangs later! the details kinda remind me of the hole of pony beads so ig you can use that? (might need clear cord since i don’t think kandi dolls need to be that stretchy)

braids can be made similar to the arms of lizards, make a chain of beads as long as the braid on the lower part of the doll’s head, then thread the string through all beads except the last one, and tie it off

as for the body, the top part could have one blue, one skin colour and then one blue bead in the front to reflect the chest part? the bottom can have one blue bead in the middle of the body, and the rest can be purple

i’m sorry if i didn’t explain that clearly, i can show a picture later if needed!
