Just a quick one

-
Not a lot for this week and not really diorama related. I have been undressing all my dolls and having a major sort out. I have also removed all the jewellery and needed a way of storing the earrings. So I came up with this....

 I found a FR box that was about the right size and cut a piece of sponge foam (about an inch thick) to fit the box. 


 Then I just added the earrings


 Now the earrings are all in one place and easy to see.
Next I need to work on a way of storing the necklaces and bracelets at the moment they are in take-away boxes!

UPDATE

Take out boxes and the pole from IT doll stands. Great for bracelets. Just pock a hole in the box each end and fix in the poles. As these are expandable they are easy to get the bracelets off.

More Jewel box ideas For these first two I used the Poppy boxes with the clear lids.

    Great idea! Did you you make the earrings or are they all doll earrings?

    Brilliant! I'm going to keep this idea in mind, so I won't misplace my mini earrings anymore, right now I keep finding tiny plastic bags with earrings in them on the strangest places LOL!

    I just had to say that this is so great idea. I'll keep it in mind if I should buy too much jewlery for my dolls. :)

    Well I guess I'm all caught up now. Tomorrow I'll start reading the stories that inspired the town. It's so amazing and also overwhelming, the scale of this project! Just a quick housekeeping question, do you have covers for the shelves to keep all your beautiful items from getting dusty? Seems like it would be so much work cleaning all those tiny things

      I'm just so pleased you are enjoying my site. I have been writing away and will be starting up with my stories again soon. The doll room was sealed up when it was built (against Spiders.... my phobia) and this also keeps out the dust and dirt. It has no windows and the door is kept shut.... I have to or the cats get in!

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...
