BestPysanky Set of 5 Unfinished Wooden Nesting Dolls DIY Craft Blanks for Painting 5.75 Inches

Mine came with quite smooth woodAll dolls nest well inside one another and open and close easilyThere will be a small amount of sanding required but it'll be very easy to take care of (one of the dolls has a rough edge on one side, another has a little bit of extra wood on top of the head)No cracksMy only complaint is that the fifth doll is quite small, I was expecting it to be about the size of the fourth doll in reality. The fifth doll is about an inch high if that! You'll need a teeny brush to put a face on it so be careful

These were exactly what I needed. I used them as a metaphor for a geography lesson (how continents, countries, states/provinces, cities etc all fit together) and it really seemed to click for my student. She also had a lot of fun painting them, and they're small so it's not a huge amount of clutter in the classroom.Delivery was very efficient (Ordered them on Wednesday, had them by Thursday, used them Friday morning). I did not have any problems with their construction - the seams were nice and tight, and the sanding was very smooth, and honestly, for the money these cannot be beat.

I got two sets of these for use in an art project, and I'm a pretty big fan of them. The wood is smooth and pleasant to the touch, all the dolls fit nicely, and though the first couple of times opening them required a little twisting back and forth they stayed open without being loose after that. All the dolls sit steadily when set out in a row. The littlest one is very light, so if you're putting it somewhere it will be jostled a lot tape it down.Definitely prep the dolls with a little modge podge or primer before you paint. The wood drinks paint in if you don't.I did run a rough piece of cloth around the inside and bottom to remove a tiny amount of loose wood shavings. It didn't seem to harm the wood.Also, two of the dolls in one set had knots in their finish. It didn't affect the texture and I could easily paint over them, but if you're just staining as opposed to painting you should plan for that. The other set had no knots at all. I'm guessing it's kind of luck of the draw, but both sets turned out great.I used acrylic paints on one and glued paper to the other. If you're gluing paper, be sure not to get glue in the seams or wipe it out if you do it it might make the fit a little hard. Also, smooth the paper down as flat as you can get it and don't use more than two magazine-page thickness layers or it will make your dolls fit weirdly.

Really great product and worth the price. Purchased 4 of these and every one came in great condition! Even unpainted they still look beautiful and are very smooth! Some pieces did fit more snug but a little hand sanding seems to work just fine. We did find that using a base coat before painting helped because they really absorb the paint. Overall I am very pleased with my purchase and would love to buy again! I would be careful handling though as the wood is a bit on the thinner side and could easily break if you aren't careful!

I purchased three sets to give as gifts. My daughters have a strange fascination with “nesting” dolls. They also love painting. So when I discovered these I felt they would be perfect. Although one has a slight split in it... it’s apparent it’s due to the wood not the quality of care making these. I’ll just repair it with some type of glue. I might purchase these again to paint more!

I just received this order in a very timely manner. This is my first set of unpainted dolls to work with so I have nothing to compare them to, but they seem very well made; no cracks or thin areas or unreasonable stains. There is sawdust on them and they smell wonderful so it seems like they had just been made before they were shipped. If there are problems with the make and workmanship of the dolls when I begin to work with them I will adjust this comment accordingly. Otherwise a very nice product and I recommend BestPysanky.

These nesting dolls are sanded well and all fit inside each doll the way that they should. We like that they are unfinished so that we can finish them the way we want to. The one problem we've run into is the top of each doll fits onto the bottom very tightly, making it difficult to open at times. Other than that they seem to be well made and are very solid.
