Melted Bethany :'(

This is the worst day ever…she was getting so cute. Set my oven as always…her vinyl was very thin at the beginning between her eyes…and now…she collapsed and melted… I see no solution but throwing het away… so so sad…how could this happen??

You could try stuffing it and rebaking. Or turning it into an alternative

You could have a very nice planter ?

@RosieCait what is a planter? (I’m Dutch)

A planter is something you can put your plants into. This would be a decorative planter that also shows your artwork. Something unique.

So sorry that has happened to you. It’s always devastating when this happens. Does she have a big head? What I do with larger heads is lay them face up in the oven instead of straight up. This keeps the head a little farther from the heating element.

Hello Cathalijne i now how you feel,that happend to my also
After that i bought a oventhermometer


Also i notice that when i put my oven on 150 it most off the time got more hot than that
So from now on i put him just a little before 150 and get so the right tempeture (not to hot )

@InfantInspirations she had a relatively bigger head…not huge…but I think she was too close to the heating element. Will lay them down differently, and maybe use extra extension ring! Thank you! :slight_smile:

@ineke1957 i have the oven thermometer. The temp had fluctuations , so now i picked up an digital oven. Will check the temp again and will heqt at 125, just to be sure. But this kit was so different from all the others. More thin, nothing to do but learn from this… and buying new oven and kits hahah
