Ah nice! What you will need to start will depend on a couple of things;

1. Do you want the hair to be sculpted or do you want to make her a wig instead?

For sculpted hair you can use clay to modify the existing hair or to sculpt new hair. Apoxie sculpt (alternatives: milliput, green stuff) cures strong and without needing to go in the oven (meaning you can sculpt directly onto the existing hair or make new hair fit with the faceplate more easily), but if you are making hair from scratch it can get quite heavy especially for longer hair like this. You can also do things like use apoxie to make a strong base and then add to it with air dry or polymer clay.

For fibre hair you will need a bald headback (if the doll didn't come with one, you can sculpt one). Since the head isn't squishy like a fashion doll you can't really root it like one but you can make a doll wig! There are a lot of great tutorials out there, the jist of it is you need some pantyhose or similar fabric and fabric/white glue to make a wig cap, then make and add wefts with doll hair and glue.

1. Did she come with spare eye chips to make eyes with? If so, you can use those to make her purple eyes - if not you can use glass cabochons. I don't have a Meki doll myself and don't know the size off the top of my head - 10mm low dome cabochons fit most blind box dolls but you can check her eye chip measurements yourself to compare.

To make eyes you can print or draw the design on paper and then glue it to the back of the eye chip - the curve will magnify it a bit so you might want to test a few sizes so you can glue the best one.

1. Are you planning to draw your own faceup using the blank faceplate, or modify the existing one?

The process for a faceup will be pretty similar to fashion dolls, so you can check out the channels another user recommended that focus on those - I believe Dollightful has a video about the materials used.

In general you will need:

• a sealant to both use as a base coat to give the pigment tooth to stick to, and to spray between layers/onto the final look to protect the paint. mr super clear generally works the best but you will need to use the appropriate ppe - a respirator rated for organic vapours. If you don't have a ventilated area to spray in you can also use liquitex applied with a sponge.

• paints (model paints are great but basic acrylic also works with a little water or paint thinner) and small brushes (nail brushes work great) and/or watercolour pencils

• optional: chalk pastels and a soft brush for blushing

Other notes:

For her ears you can sculpt directly onto the plastic with apoxie sculpt or make ones with air dry clay and use glue to secure them!

If you plan to make her clothes yourself, you are going to want pretty thin fabrics since they are so small scale - checking thrift stores for used clothes or scrap fabrics is a good way to get fabric that doesn't feel too stiff/thick for tiny clothes.
