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 b...

Prams/ Stroller or what ever you call it!... Painting Plastic

I have a little bit of a thing for 'babies' Barbie and co babies that is. I also love prams/buggies/strollers or whatever! For some time I had wanted a mini pram like you see so much in human size these days. Imagine my excitement when I spotted the new Skipper Babysitter Inc pram, it looked (almost) perfect. As soon as I spotted one on Amazon I had to get it AND it was not silly expensive. The pram's come in yellow with a white baby and pink with a black Baby. (Not my photo's) For some reason the pink pram is very hard to find in England, but I did find one on Amazon. The height was good too and worked well with the taller IT dolls. As you can see I painted mine  So next the painting thing The base parts come apart pretty easy but the top peace (bucket) can not be taken apart. I wanted to paint the top of the bucket but leave the base grey. All the parts I did NOT want painted I coated with a couple of coats of school PVA glue While that...
