I have been shopping at Ali Express

-

 As the title says I have been shopping at Ali Express. Been looking at thing on Ali Express for a while and brought a few things over the years but of late shopping at Ali Express and TEMU have ramped up. I think I might be done for now...but never say never!

I know you can see a TON of opening stuff on YouTube but well, I can't do videos to save my life and as I have no one that can help me I will stick with photos.

All prices are in UK pounds and may vary with the exchange rates. Also most add postage or you need to spend a certain amount to get free postage. Another thing with Ali Express it's a group of stores that sell independently so not only could you end up with more than on package but pay separate postage too.

Oh, and before we start small confession I have 14 items in my Ali Express cart....  oops!

All the items I purchased should be 1:6 scale but sometimes well things don't work out 

Will start with my oops! The water dispenser is way to small more 1:12 scale.

This fabric is perfect and very soft I look forward to covering plastic seating and maybe making a headboard with it. Handbags are another option. It comes in 14 colours and is priced between £4.49 and £6.40 a piece 30x135cm. 

This black leather look fabric is nice and thin with a self adhesive backing lots of colours and priced at between £2.01 and £2.47 size is 20x138cm.

A floor mop/cleaner thing with a swivel head.£3.90 and stands 20cm
I just love tiny and these sure fit the bill. Little tiny nozzles £4.29

I purchased two sinks at different times. Love them both and the water that makes it look like the tape is running This sink was £4.20 and taps £3.17

This sink was £3.90 and the brass looking tap £5.71
The shower although it says 1:6 scale I do think is a little small but usable £4.22
Four piece bathroom set with stick on labels £5.09
Bathroom set with make up comes in the clear perspex tray £2.45
This set also with tray is £2.36
Next up a few molds round ones are a cup and saucer £6.61. Next is a muffin mold with four cake sizes £1.93 and the flat thing with the pink scrapper is a lace mold £1.72
Not even dolls can go with out toilet paper and these packs come in pink or blue £1.40 each.
These keys are pretty cool and very small £3.74
Love the scissors not sure if I will use them in the school or the hospital? But the 98p for two I might order some more?
Talking of hospitals masks £1.89 for 10
Not sure the stereoscope will be big enough but the other stuff will work £3.53
Are your dolls getting overheated? Need to check their temperature?£4.89

These books are very well done £3.78 for 6

Six cups in three styles £3.99
I got a bit mixed up with these 2 bags 98p or 5 bags for £1.50
Last on the list 6 bowls of Chinese food I brought two sets and the contents vary. £5.01 a set.




 This is it for Ali Express, I will be showing everything in mini dioramas and with dolls but still to get to that, so this way you have something to look forward to... or not!

    I first saw those bowls at a Korean food truck near the VA. They hand out those bowls on keychains with numbers. I fell in love with them while waiting for my order. I asked about them, and they said... They are a great find!

Walls and Wallpaper Part Two

 If you are not interested in wallpaper you might want to move on to the next post. I use the doll to show scale and I have left in a couple of bloopers. My wallpaper collection started about 30 years ago and while I have thrown out a few I still have ...well a lot!   The picture below shows what happens if you use the wrong kind of glue. This is the type of paper you get for model railways and I did it like other papers using a boarder glue.. not such a good idea.   Below is another example of when things don't go to plan. This was a second use board and it just does not work. Not sue why this has gone two tone? It has been stored away from light?  So many more to add

Some more wardrobe ideas....  I covered the shoe storage with plexiglass held on with magnets. As you can see there are so many things you can do with this basic idea. Big boxes, small boxes. With rails and/or shelving.

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...
