Someone suggested to me once that cutting strips from a milk jug makes
wonderful boning for smaller projects, like dolls. I haven't had time to
test it myself, but it seems like a pretty good idea. You can always
double up on layers if you need it a bit stiffer too.

Subject: [h-cost] artificial whalebone
Greetings,
Has anyone had much luck cutting down the white plastic artificial whalebone, into
much smaller pieces, say length-wise? I've tried soaking it in boiling water first
to try and soften it up, I tried using a brand new exacto knife, scissors, and all I
got was a mess and sore hands. I'm trying to create doll-sized (22") boning
from the full sized piece since I can't seem to find anything that would make good
doll boning in and of itself. If anyone has suggestions, I would love to hear them!
Cheers,
Danielle
