🎨 How Custom Bobbleheads Are Made: Behind-the-Scenes of a Mini You

Ever wondered how your face becomes a bobblehead? These quirky, wobbly-headed figurines have become more than just desk toys — they’re personalized keepsakes, viral gift ideas, and creative ways to celebrate life’s biggest (and funniest) moments.

At Coupleofthings.net, we turn your photos into handmade polymer clay bobbleheads, crafted with care and detail. Here's an exclusive look at what goes on behind the scenes.

🖼️ Step 1: You Send Us Photos (and Details!)

It all starts with you. After placing your order, you’ll be asked to upload:

• Clear photos of the person's face (front, side)

• Hairstyle preferences

• Outfit reference or occasion (e.g. graduation robe, wedding dress, sports uniform)

• Optional accessories (e.g. coffee cup, guitar, laptop)

• Custom base message (e.g. “Best Boss Ever”)

✅ The more details you give, the more accurate and personalized your figurine will be.

✏️ Step 2: The Sculpting Process Begins

Our artists don’t use 3D printing — each bobblehead is hand-sculpted from scratch using professional-grade polymer clay.

This means:

• No molds or shortcuts

• Every face, hairstyle, and detail is shaped by hand

• You get a one-of-a-kind creation

Once the head is shaped, the body, clothing, and accessories are formed separately and attached later.

🎨 Step 3: Hand-Painting the Features

After sculpting, the figurine is cured (baked) to harden the clay. Then the magic begins — hand-painting the face, eyes, clothing, and fine details using high-pigment acrylics.

We match:

• Skin tones

• Eye color

• Logos or patterns on clothing

• Props like laptops, instruments, or even pets!

This is where the real personality shows up.

🧷 Step 4: Assembling the Bobble Mechanism

What makes a bobblehead… bobble?
We install a lightweight spring mechanism inside the head — giving that satisfying, wobbly motion. You can choose a bobble or fixed head, depending on your preference.

📦 Step 5: Quality Check & Secure Packaging

Before shipping, each figurine is checked for:

• Likeness to the photo

• Smooth bobble movement (if selected)

• Paint quality and durability

• Stability on the base

Then, it's carefully packed with foam and bubble wrap in a gift-ready box.
