How to make a Tribute Medoll

  Making a Tribute medoll is one of the sweetest things you can do. It shows that you are inspiring and dedicated to a cause. If you make a wonderful Tribute Medoll, you can get a lot of great feedback. Although, if you make a Tribute Medoll incorrectly, you might offend people. That's why I'd like to take the time to make this post.
 
  Let's start off with the Tribute Medoll ideas.

  Serious Tribute Ideas:

• Cancer is one of the most touching and common Tribute medolls you can pick. This kind of doll usually displays a head without any hair. 
• War is another really supportive Tribute medoll. This doll usually shows a uniform and your countries flag.
• Anti-Racism is a really tough Tribute idea to pull off. It usually displays a doll with a different skin color then you usually pick for you doll.
• Self Love would be a wonderful Tribute idea. It could include an inspiring message to others.

  Light Hearted Tribute Ideas:

• Celebrity is a really fun Tribute idea. They usually look similar to the real person and display why this celebrity is important to you.
• Fictional Character can be another hard one, especially if the book hasn't been turned into a movie. Use your imagination and use props to make this doll easy to recognize. 
• If you have any more ideas for Tribute Medolls, please post them in the comments. Please and thank you!

  Steps to a Successful Tribute Medoll

 

1. Pick a Tribute idea. When choosing your theme, be sure to consider difficulty and how much knowledge you have on this subject. If you can relate to it more, it might push you to make a better final product.
2. Do your research. This is important so that you get your facts right and don't offend anyone. It will also get you more excited about your cause and give you inspiration. Skipping this step may end badly.
3. Find some Reference Photos. Look online for photos relating your cause. Find some to model your doll after. It will help you to stay realistic and work for a better final product. As always, be careful when looking online. 
4. Build the Tribute Doll. A Tribute medoll should take more time then your usual medoll. Don't settle for good. Work until it's great, because it sends a stronger message. Also, remember to use your reference photos.
5. Set the Scene. If you enjoy going above and beyond, make a setting too. Decorate one of your rooms to fit your Tribute theme. Reference photos are more important then ever in this step. 
6. Write an Inspiring Message. It's always a good idea to explain your Tribute medoll. I suggest including your inspiring message in your presentation. You might include: personal experiences and famous quotes. Always remember to check your facts, so you're not giving people false information. Last but not least, stay positive.
7. Ask for Feedback. Once you've finished, ask your friends and family for feedback. It's a good idea to ask for feedback right away, so in case you've made a mistake, you can fix it before anyone is offended. As always, remember that criticism is a part of getting better. So make sure you can handle being critiqued, before you ask for people's opinions. People can say hurtful things, especially when they're talking about issues they're passionate about.
