The New Voodoo Dolls

Wrote by 10 Comments

A few years back, Voodoo dolls were a trend of the accessories.

They were everywhere and everything. As key chains, phone hangers, accessories for bags and pins, they were even earrings (I know because I have a pair at home :p).

Then like every trend in this world, it faded and died.

When I was travelling through Hua Hin, I came across this stall.

Is this a new trend of the Voodoo Dolls?

    I was in Thailand 4 months ago, and I brought one of those back as a present for my kid :)) can't say he liked the thing a lot - after all, he's only 3, and maybe not that into voodoo yet... but that one was different, wrapped up in multicolor threads :)
    these scary ones are really cute, though :))

    This magnificent idea originated from a home-based business in Thailand before the craze spred all over the world. They kinda represent Thailand, until the Copy-cat China does what 'it' does best.

    I have a pair of bride and groom mummy dolls since last year. I guess, this will take over and become the trend? Who knows? :D

    So, did you get any for yourself? They are really cute! :D

    I've seen the procedures to make such dolls and keychains but you must have patience to do it because it's kinda hard...

    I don't have s real keychain collections but my mum is an avid collector! She buy every single keychain collection which catch her eyes around the globe no matter what are the prices...
