Dolls on Stilts

Ok, I don’t know about the rest of you, but I thought this was one of the silliest challenges ever on Project Runway. Since we are trying to follow the show as closely as possible, I have to suck it up and make some stilts for my model.

I went with chopsticks attached to my models legs with masking tape. Since her feet come off I get a straight line down the leg with no feet sticking out. I left the “stilts” a little longer than they needed to be so I can stick them in the ground to make her stand for the runway.

MollyMonsterSews went a really clever route. Here is how she said she made her stilts, “I took a used priority mail box, cut it into two smaller boxes, and threaded some ribbon through to tie it to Angharad’s feet. She is steady enough to get a picture, but not much more!”

So, what about you other designers, how are you giving your models a little extra height? Will you be able to make her stand for the runway?
