Lady Gaga has started making her own dress for her upcoming UK gig.

The singer is due to play the Capital FM Jingle Bell Ball on December 8 at London's massive O2 Arena.

It seems her outfit is going to be a DIY effort, with the US star taking to Twitter to reveal that she is already working by hand her costume.

Gaga said: "ARTPOP on making outfit for Jingle Bell Ball see u soon London! Haus just told me to 'Abramovic these crystals' Long durational glue gunning."

The singer meanwhile launched her new lifesize singing doll - the GAGAdoll - on Sunday (December 1) in Japan.

She wore an odd tartan outfit as the 'Applause' lady promoted the figure, which plays audio when someone places their head on its chest.

It's all in promotion of her new album 'ARTPOP', which was released in November.
