A few Dioramas finished at last

-
OK, so not completely finished but almost
First up Cali's Cake and Coffee Shop 
Just need to add the door








Notice the toilets









Next Phlox's Florist

Again I need the door







The school is on five floors. The ground floor is the Nursery (Kindergarten) I'll show you more on this later as I have changed out a few things and need to 'tidy up'
So this first floor is for the pre-teen children

 The walls are still a little bare as I need to and pictures and school work. I think it looks a little like the last day at school before the summer holidays. With the children all out of uniform I will go with this idea




Now onto the young teens



Moving onward and upwards third floor there are two rooms on this floor and at the moment they are without dolls
The music room







The other room is an
 Art Room





On the top floor is a playground and hall...set up for lunch. Again no pictures as I'm still finalising things.

    I think these new spaces are divine on your blog. I love the coffee bean cabinet, and your gal shopping in the tomatoe soup dress. Do you paint your doors, or cover them with something special...just nosey, because I tend to ignore doors, but they make so much impact.

      I use the boxes from the IT dolls as a backing and then cover with sticky back plastic. Then I edge with 3mm foam core board cut into 1cm lengths. I have all sorts of things I use for door knobs but most are pin-board pins

      It's wallpaper, not sure why people would want it in their home?

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
