Thanks for the tip about doll necks. I like cloth dolls that will eventually need to be washed and didn't want wire or sticks inside them, so I have avoided some of the really pretty ones. Do you run the tubing all the way through the body, or just enough to stabilize the neck?
Those pipe insulation tubes are so very handy. I've seen them opened up and used to cushion the edges of sinks in hair salons, also as bumper pads on sharp edges of furniture. I never asked, but just thought they must be glued.
