Hospital Doors

-
I say hospital doors but you could use this method with most door styles.

 You will need a printer for this one
Plus...
Foamcore board
Ruler
Repositionable Glue
Glue
Craft knife
Net
Cardboard (not corrugated)
Black felt tip pen
Aluminium Foil Tape

Print your doors onto A4 sized (normal sized) paper. Cut your card wider and longer than the paper

As you can see your 1:6 doll will be taller so your card will need to be the right height for the doll 
 Cut out the windows






Use the window shape as a template for the window and cut your net a little bigger than the window you have removed

Spray your card with repositionable glue Lay your doors on the card near the top leaving a small edge around the top and sides. Lay the net over the window area

Gently peel away the doors from the top and smooth the net into place then smooth the doors back down

The doors do not reach the bottom. Draw a line to the bottom of card following the line already there



Cut your foil longer than needed and fix to the bottom of the door. My foil is sticky backed and at first I was wanting it all smooth and tidy, then I thought about the bashed up hospital doors and decided the slightly battered look was better! 

Cut strips of foamcore 1cm wide (you can make them wider if that's the look you want)Cross the foamcore over at the corner and very carefully cut so the edges butt together. Keep the sides on the side they have been cut for or the edges will not fit so well (done that a few times)

Glue into place I use a special glue for foamcore but most glues will work so long as you don't over glue.
Once dry cut of the ends and your door is ready to be stuck in place.

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
