COTTAGE CHEESE
First, take your ziploc bag and put the dryer sheet in. Then, break the foam into smaller pieces
(about 2x2 in.) and put them inside the bag. Seal the bag off with a little bit of air still inside.

After that, break the foam pieces up until they're mostly individual spheres. The reason why you should put the dryer sheet into the bag and break the foam up inside the bag is because the dryer sheet gets rid of the static and the bag helps to not spread the foam everywhere.

Next, add some puffy paint and the foam spheres and mix it together. The ratio of puffy paint to spheres should be about 1/2 the amount of puffy paint for every sphere. (filling up to about the halfway point of the spheres also works)

After that, add the ratio of about 1/4 the amount of glue to every sphere (or even less if you're running low works too). Then, mix everything together gently.

By now, it should look kind of like this.



Then, decide what container you'll want the cottage cheese to be in. Make sure you're certain what container you want so the cottage cheese can sit correctly. Pick one of the options below.

TEMPORARY OPTION (MORE VERSATILE)
Take the cling wrap and place it securely over the item you want the cottage cheese to be on. Add the mixture; position it how you want it, and let it dry. Once it's dry, you should be able to put it in the bowl, on the plate, or other item and remove it easily.

PERMANENT OPTION (EASIER)
Place the mixture in the bowl, on the plate, or other item and let dry completely.

Once you've completed all the steps, you should have cottage cheese for your doll!

Thanks so much for taking a look at this! Make sure to check out my YouTube channel, Grayt Videos, for more fun & easy crafts.

(P.S. In the future, I am hoping to making an extra video & post so your doll can have some fruit with the cottage cheese.)
