How to Create a Custom Bobblehead in 5 Steps

To order a custom bobblehead, prepare clear reference photos, choose the outfit and pose, review the total price, then check the artist's sculpture proofs before baking. Here is how the process works at Coupleofthings.

1. Gather clear reference photos

Choose a front-facing photo in good light with the face unobstructed. Add side views if useful and separate images for clothing, hairstyle and important accessories. For multiple people, label each person's photos and identify the main reference.

2. Choose the design

Open the bobblehead ordering studio and select the number of people, pose, outfit and optional props. Describe custom requests clearly. Use the AI preview to explore an idea; it is not a photograph or exact guarantee of the finished handmade piece.

3. Check the details and price

A single-person design starts at US$109. Additional people and optional extras affect the total. Check your selections, reference photos, spelling and delivery address before checkout. Read the pricing and photo guide for the available options.

4. Review the artist's sculpture proofs

The artist handcrafts the figurine in polymer clay from your references. Review the actual sculpture proofs and request changes before approving the piece for baking. Check the face, hairstyle, clothing, pose and requested details, and respond within the deadline shown in your order updates.

5. Allow for production and shipping

Production and delivery are separate stages. Proof feedback and design complexity affect timing. Check the current shipping policy; for an event deadline, email info@coupleofthings.net with your date and destination before purchase.
