Please be as specific as possible in the special request box as to what you'd like included with your doll, but please remember, I'm not a manufacturer and I just simply do not have the ability to provide certain special requests, such as wheelchairs and metal braces.
Remember, if it's sewable, it's doable!
Good news!!!
I've purchased some wheelchairs that fit both the 20" and 16" dolls perfectly!
These chairs are for sale separately and can be purchased from the
You can see example's of custom made Special Angel dolls HERE!

I make the doll braces out of craft foam and Velcro. Please email me with info on the type of brace you need (full leg, partial leg, arm, torso, etc.).
Pictures are always very helpful.
The soft part of the brace will be white. Straps are available in:
Light Pink, Bright Pink, Purple, Bright Blue, Red, Brown or White.

I have struggled with the price of Special Angel Dolls for quite some time.. I used to charge the same for them as I do for the Karens Kids custom doll's.. Unfortunately, there were times that I found myself spending up to 10 hours extra, plus the cost of extra materials, for the Special Angel Dolls.. So I decided to charge $5 more to help cover the extra cost, plus time, I spend on each doll..However, there are times when the special need does not take much more of my time, or cost that much more to create..
What to do, what to do!
I've been going back and forth on how I should handle the cost.
I have decided to charge the same for the Special Angel Dolls as I do for the Karens Kids Custom Doll orders, BUT with the understanding that if your doll requires quite a few extra's, your order will most likely take longer to complete... I feel this is the fairest way to handle this situation. If your doll order includes a lot of extra's, please order at least 5 weeks in advance of your celebration to give me plenty of time to finish your order..
Thank you for your order! Have a GREAT day!
"Curly hair"
I am so EXCITED..
I have finally found a way to permanently curl yarn for curly hairdo's!!
It's soft, it's bouncy and it's cute! To read more about it, visit my blog located HERE...
"Eye Glasses"
Not so excited about this..
I've had a heck of a time finding glasses that will fit the dolls.
Most doll glasses are made for 18" dolls like American Girl dolls, and those glasses are way too small for the "kids"... I was using teddy bear glasses, but I haven't been able to find any available in quite some time..
However,
I have a few pair of glasses left.. If your special angel wears glasses and you'd like their doll to wear them, too, please ask for a pair in the special request box..
This will be a first come,first serve situation. Once I've used what I have, I don't think I'll be able to get more.
Custom made doll's make a great gift for a child, an adult or yourself!
