What happens when you stretch a fishing line from a 120 foot bridge and have Lammily zipline down it? The world’s largest doll zipline ever made! Check out the video above to see the action and , if you’re interested, see how you can make a doll zipline for yourself or your kids! Full instructions are below…
To make a zipline for your Lammily doll, you’ll need
#01 Two bottle caps
#02 A wooden BBQ skewer
#03 Beads
#04 Black elastic hair ties
#05 Extra small dog collar
#06 Extra small black zip ties
#07 piece of nylon strap or ribbon
#08 Plastic egg
#09 Colored tape
#10 Paint
#11 Glue
#12 Fishing line
#13 And your Lammily doll
#14 Mark the inner side of your bottle caps at the very center
#15 Poke a tiny hole at the marks
#16 Push your skewer through the under side of one cap…
#17 … and into the top side of the other
#18 …so that they’re back to back but not quite touching
#19 Trim the skewer on both sides
#20 Apply glue to the cap where the skewer comes out
#21 Slide a bead on and secure in place
#22 One side at a time, slide a bead onto the skewer
#23 Apply glue to the tip of the skewer
#24 Push the bead back out, so that is glued to the end
#25 Once dry, paint the wooden bar
#26 Once paint has dried, loop a large hair tie around the bar, right next to the outer bead
#27 Tighten a zip tie
#28 Tighten another zip tie toward the bottom so that just a small loop remains
#29 Trim your zip ties and do the other side…
#30 …so that Lammily can grab her zipline handles
#31 For her helmet, remove the bottom part of your egg
#32 Cut a thin strip of colored tape
# 33 Place it down the middle of your helmet – mine had holes and I used the tape to cover them.
#34 Put a puddle of hot glue on the inside of your helmet
#35 Press a small hair tie into the puddle
#36 Put more glue over that.
#37 Once it is totally dry, put Lammily’s helmet on
#38 For her harness, start by adjusting your dog collar so that it fits around Lammily’s waist
#39 Remove it and loop a large air tie around it
#40 Tighten it with a zip tie
#41 Trim
#42 Do a second side…
#43 …and have Lammily step into her harness
#44 Flip her over and feed the nylon strap through the back of her harness
#45 Tighten with a zip tie
#46 trim
#47 From this point on, I’ll need to have my doll hanging from a string in her zipline and harness. I’m placing a clothespin on the line just in case she starts to slide.
#48 Put the zipline handlebar onto the line and loop a large hair tie around both sides
#49 Put your doll in place by having her grab her handles
#50 feed the nylon strap up through the hair tie loop
#51 zip tie in place
#52 trim your zip tie…
#53 …and your strap
#54 If you’d like to add the camera phone holder to Lammily’s zipline, remove the doll nd the handlebar from the line. Slide a large hair tie around the nylon strap of her harness.
#55 Slide a large hair tie onto each side of the loop part of the harness
#56 Put the handlebar with harness back onto the line
#57 Put Lammily back into place
#58 Loop the two hair ties that are attached to the top of the harness around your phone and secure it to the doll using the third tie – the one that is looped around the nylon strap
#59 It takes some maneuvering to make sure your camera has a clear shot, but I can see my hand perfectly through the camera
#60 You can also get a horizontal view by simply flipping your phone to it’s side and attaching the elastic bands the same way
#61 Now she’s ready to fly!!!
