Making something from Nothing

-
Just back from my holiday and still feeling a little addle brained so going to make this a short one. 
When packing for my holiday I as always left everything to the last minute and an hour before we was due to leave I remembered my travel doll? So a dash to the doll room pick up a doll and a few bits close to hand and we was set!
Once we had arrived I looked at what I had brought with me?
A cover and a couple of pillows and some 'bits'.
So she needed a bed
All hotels have a bible and a phone book
Bible for the base and the phone book as a 'mattress'
Then I raided the bathroom a hand towel for the bottom of the bed a rolled face cloth for the pillow and another for a cover!
Then for a unit for some bits and bobs to sit on.
 

Say hello to the tissue box unit.
Then later in the week more dolls came to stay and another bed was needed
They arrived in a FR box so this became the second bed base and I used a couple of t.shirts as covers. The other half of the box could be made into a wardrobe with the use of a FR stand as a rail. Oh, and not the table top... it's a FR base!
Just for fun a few more pic's of dolls with 'natural' props.

 Note: iPads iPhone cameras are good but not as clear as a proper camera!


Next week I will back with a-vengeance (I hope) LOL

Simple Wardrobes And Storage

I have a TON of doll clothing and after years of rummaging through bags and never finding what I'm looking for or even remembering what I have so I thought it was time I made some quick, simple and cheap storage.  The cheapest is to use a doll box and just fit a bar for hanging but I wanted something just a little more so this is what I came up with.... You will need Foamcore board I used 5mm thick board 60cm x 84cm Foam 2 Foam glue You can use any glue but this works best I think Ruler Tape measure Pencil Something sharp to cut with (craft knife Cutting board I have a big board but a smaller one would work Metal ruler if possible (Helps with cutting a straight line)  The rods are the metal rods from the Integrity Doll stands. They are great as they are adjustable.  All of the above can be found on E.Bay or craft stores I'm giving you the sizes I use but you can make your units any size you wish. Measure 40cm longways mark and cut put other piece of board t

Painting Plastic

I've touch on this before but here I will go through the prose step by step... First up room temperatures. Even before you start if you are going to use spray paint then outside or a well ventilated room is a must. Not hot, not cold and not raining. Oh, and no wind...very important no wind if spraying outside... not an issue if working indoors. Remember the sprays do like to float about a bit and all surfaces need to be covered or use a spray box. This can be just an old cardboard box or something you make yourself. My table in the garden is just for spraying and is well away from the plants etc Another must is a mask, I do a lot so mines a bit fancy (I also have Asthma) but a basic mask from your local DIY would be fine  Spray paints are easy enough to find just look around your local DIY or craft store, there is also E.Bay and Amazon.  Start by cleaning what you want to paint then once dry I always use a primer, they come in three colours white, brown and
