How to make cute doll Ballet Flats

Hello!
So, Notice anything Different about Rebecca's Outfit? Yes, She got a new pair of shoes fit for a queen! To make these, you need:
Tissue Paper
Glue
Quart plastic bags
Masking tape

1. I start by cutting a quart plastic bag in half. I Place the bag around my dolls foot.
2. Next, I wrap masking tape around the plastic Bag, So it hugs my dolls foot, Like a cast.
3. I then cut down the side, and i remove the boot.
4. Then cut off the portion you want. I cut off the ankle part of the boot I made, and part of the top so it would look like a ballet flat.
5. To color the shoes, I dip Strips of tissue paper in school glue, and I plaster them onto the flat. Repeat Process For shoe 2.

And you are done! For extra dazzle, glue a jewel bead onto the top of the shoe. Use Many colors of tissue paper to give it more blitz, Or decorate with glitter glue.

Enjoy!

A doll Theatre!

Hello!
I am so sorry about not sharing more crafts! School is so busy, and I have been getting a boatload of homework. Anyway, Here is a cool craft on making a cool theatre plus some cool movie snacks! You need: Many craft  supplies!

1. Start with a red trifold poster board. 
2. I make the screen by cutting up pictures from the AG catalog. Any doll catalog would work. I glue bits and pieces of various photos to make the screen. I cut out photos of two dolls at a sleepover, some food, a salon caddy, some mini dolls, some hair extensions, a magazine, a book and a pet. I mount it onto a piece of colored paper.
3. For the box office, I tape two folders together. Using my doll as a guide, I lay her down on the large folder we just made. I sketch out a square around her face, leaving a lot of room so it goes down to her chest. I cut out the square, and I replace it with clear packaging from boxes.I cover the folder part in scrap booking paper. I attach the non cut part to the board.
4. I made seats by cutting the top and a side off of a cardboard box.
5.  I cover it in red velvety fabric.I made the concession stand by laying a cardboard box on its side. I cover it in colorful computer paper. I cut out the main focus of a popcorn box or bag, and I tape it to the box. I write the menu on an index card, and I tape it on.
6. To make a 2-d popcorn box, I cut off the sides of a popcorn box. I cut it off at about midway.
7. To make nuts, I shaped small bits of terra cotta clay into nuggets. I glazed them before they dried to make them look fried. I put the nuts in a plastic food sample cup.
8. To make a plate of nachos, I start by cutting a plastic pillbox in half. On mine, the plastic was soft, So it could be cut as easy as cardboard. This is the plate. To make the chips, I cut small pieces of felt and layered them. I cut a chip shape out of the felt. I rubbed ti let the chips go loose on the plate. To make the cheese, I mix yellow watercolor paint with Kid safe clay glaze (The kid safe part is not so important, but it would be a waste to use polymer glaze.) I mix until it looks like nacho cheese, And i paint it on the chips. Before it dries, I add bits of foam for toppings.
9. I use beads and shortened straws for candy.

Enjoy making your dolls some cool snacks and a brand new theater!

Marie Grace at the spa Plus:How to make Doll Yarn hair wraps

Marie Gracie went to the Doll town Spa today. She had her hair picked out using a fine tooth comb and  a floss pick, her body was cleaned using Clearasil face wipes, And her torso was cleaned as well. After she got a donut and a Mint chocolate chip shake at the snack stand,  she saw an ad for..... Yarn Hair Wraps!
To make a yarn wrap for your doll you need:
2 colors of yarn
Clear packing tape
Clear hair elastics

1. I begin by braiding a small section of hair, and secure with a clear hair elastic. 
2. I then tie a strand of yarn the length of your shoulder to your hand to the braided section.
3. Wrap the strand around the braided part. When that strand runs out (If it does.) Tie another strand to the hair and repeat. To secure the end of the yarn, I use some clear packing tape.

I hope you enjoyed this craft.

And now for something different. Drumroll please.........

How to make Doll Donuts

Hello!
This is my first craft post in 2 weeks, so I am just Too Excited to share this craft with you! Today we will be making chocolate doughnuts for our dolls. And Voila, It is on a nice new cookie sheet.
For the Donuts:
Terra cotta clay (I am using DAS modeling material from Hobby Lobby)
White clay (I am using Paper Clay)
Twisty Ties
Wooden dowel
Glue
Seed beads or glitter
For the Sheet:
Foam Paper
Glue
Tinfoil
Twist ties

1. I begin by rolling out a strip of terra cotta clay. 
2. In  the middle of the strip, Place a Twisty tie. Then I roll the strip into a snake, making sure no twisty ties show. 
3. I then roll the snake into a doughnut shape , and I make sure that you are only twisting the part where you feel a twisty tie. I trim off the excess.
4. I then roll some white clay into a thin snake. I wind the snake around the top of the donut to look like icing. I sprinkle the icing with seed beads or glitter.
5. To make the cookie sheet, cut a mini foam sheet in half. Wrap it in foil. Than cover two twist ties in foil, bend like handles, and glue to the sheet.
6. You are done!

Enjoy making doughnuts for dolls!

Basic Crafting

Hello!

Today I will be showing you how to perfect the art of crafting, and this post does not reqire photos. This post will tell you all about the basic supplies needed to make most of the crafts on this blog. 

The supplies are:

• Computer paper- This is by far the most simple craft supply.It Can be found almost anywhere.
• Cardboard-This is also pretty basic. Collect cardboard from cereal boxes, Poptart  boxes and shipping boxes.
• Craft Foam-I buy Mine at createforless.com.You can Get 50 mini sheets of foam for somewhere around six dollars.
• Fabric-I Buy mine at Joan's fabric by the yard.
• Tinfoil- This is something you probably have at home. 
• Drinking Straws-I get Mine from amazon.  However, To save time and money, pick up some at your local coffe shop for free.
• Bottlecaps- Collect these from water , soda and Gatorade bottles
• Lara's wooden button plugs- Athese are not all that basic, But they are doll play gold. I get mine the same place I got the craft foam sheets.
• Markers-My advice-Do not go too fancy. I just use Crayola Pip Squeaks.
• Scrapbook paper-This is a great play essential. Get it in a value pack, and buying it from a vendor aimed at younger kids will lower costs. 
• Popsicle sticks-Warning- Buy these from a craft store. Do not use used Popsicle sticks!
• Colored Computer paper-Recycle from brochures.
• Ads from the paper-These have many uses.

Next Are a few tips:

1. Do not use any food product in your crafts. If you want to treasure miniatures forever, Refrain from using salt dough that has not been sealed. Also Refrain from using anything with sugar in your crafts.
2. While crafting, Keep in mind that dangers may be posed. If you are under 11, I would ask a parents help on hot glueing, clay baking or ironing a patch. For your safety, Hot glue and oven bake clay are not used in any crafts.

Enjoy!
