From the first time I saw mannaquine's i knew i wanted one, to plan my outfits in the morning, and just because it thought it was perfect decore. After lots of thought I realized I had no clue how to get one! It's not like I can just strut into bebe and ask if they will sell me their mannaquin! I considered everything, my friend jasmyn suggested just taking it but I have a feeling they would say something if I drag the mannaquin display out the door with me, haha. I looked on Pbteen but even their i couldnt afford it ! So in the end my friend and I stumbled on a great online idea, to make our own! It's definitely not as easy as it sounds, first you have to cover you have to put on a plastic bag with a cut out for your arms and head of course. Warning: you will sweat horribly, and may even scream when you see how gross you look after ! Not to discourage you, anyway next step is to get masking tape (in my case we scavaged the house and found four masking tapes, we used all of them) warning: your family may get mad if you use up all the tape, so you might wanna buy your own. With the masking tape you wrap it around your whole body, or at least everywhere the bag is covering, you may need a friends help. When its completely solidly covering you should have the outline of your body. Now you have to be careful at this next part, you have to get your friend to cut down the back of the tape and plastic bag. Wearing no shirt may make this easier, as my friend cut a huge hole in my favorite tank during this part. (i wanted to kill her) After you do this slip it off of your body (you might want to hop in the shower) then tape up the back, stuff the inside with news paper, then stick some kind of stand or pole up the bottom. We used some tubeing from my friends yard used for construction. After this seal any opened holes, and secure the stand. And ta-da their you have it, your own mannequin. It's in my room right now (:
