Question by A Betta World Rules: How do I prop up a Barbie for a stop motion movie? She just flops over!?
I want to make a stop motion movie, I made a few before with toys. I want this one to be of a Barbie dancing and “singing” to a part of a song, but how can I make her stand up? Her feet are rubbery… and she flops over XD but she is good because her arms move at the elbows too so I can make her wave her arms and such. Can you help?

Hang the doll from very thin transparent fish wire or stick long metal pins in the legs that can be attached to some floor plate?
Maybe even a support from her back (since it’s stop motion, you can just play with the position outside the camera view).
