Chalyna 2 Sets Unpainted Nesting Dolls Blank Russian Nesting Dolls Personalize Create Your Own Russian Doll Wooden Matryoshka DIY Kit for Kids

They are great nesting dolls for crafting with kids and adults. All the dolls fit very tight and hard to open and close. I rubbed some wax/candle around the rim and they open much easier.

These are excellent. I ordered them for my daughter and niece to paint. At first the pieces were a little hard to open, I used some dove cocoa butter soap, but you could use bees wax around the connectors to make it easier to pull apart. We did prime them with acrylic paint 3 coats. The girls are sketching out their ideas to paint. I will upload images when they are done.

A little tough to separate, but with a little sanding, the problem didn't persist. With 2 sets, I chose the best looking piece from each set to paint a little family for a friend.

I like the smoothness of these items; however, the top and bottom halves are not sized well together. They are so hard to get apart. I will try to sand them down a bit to size them better, but because they didn't fit well, I have procrastinated on my project for many weeks now.

Perfect size and well made. Solidly built and smooth wood. Easy to paint on. I used these to make 2 different sets of holiday decorations. Will likely buy more next year.

Bought these plain nesting dolls thinking I’d get around to painting them. Instead, I discovered they make excellent secret snack holders. The smallest one currently houses a single Skittle. The medium one? Emergency gummy bears. The largest? Well, let’s just say I can smuggle half a packet of crisps into the living room without anyone noticing. Were they meant for this? Absolutely not. Do they excel at it? Without question. Five stars.

These dolls are made well, tight fitting and sanded & ready to be painted. There are 2 sets. Nice size. I would buy again as they are well made.

Great set of unfinished nesting dolls. I created a set of Pokémon characters to give to my friend’s son. The edges needed some sanding so that dolls would come apart easier as they were very tight.

It’s ok but very tight

One set is impossible to open, desperately tight. The other contained loose # 3. Return.
