Nacho Bar For the dolls!

Hi!
This may seem like a very odd Pre- Thanksgiving post, but I have decided to make my dolls a Thanksgiving meal Ala My Froggy Stuff , so I have nothing to share. But hey, what about the football games? Nachos are a game snack, right? :) To make the Nacho Bar, You will need:
Thin white cardboard (Or cereal box cardboard painted white)
3 Large googly Eyes
Yellow, green and red felt
School glue
3 plastic Containers
Stirrer stick
Paper towels
Rubber gloves

  1. I start by cutting out 2 1 and a half inch squares and 2 3 inch long rectangles out of the cardboard. Glue the long rectangles together. Repeat with the squares. 
  2. I then cut some yellow felt into eighths. Cut out a small chip shape. Rub the felt to separate the layers. Glue the chips to the square, and you have your chips.
  3. To make the dip plate, I cut off the back and removed the inside of 3 googly eyes. I glue them to the long rectangle.
  4. To make the salsa, I cut red felt into tiny squares. I added one or two green squares in for green chili peppers. I add some glue to hold it together, and I mix it with the glue in the container. I put some mix into one of the compartments on the tray.
  5. For Guacamole, I repeat the process, only I make the majority green with a bit of red. I put some of mix in one of the other containers. 
  6. For sour cream, I will need the gloves. Slip on the gloves and coat the palms with glue. Roll A small ball of the paper towel in the glue filled gloves. Place it in one of the compartments. 
  7. You are done!
Enjoy making nachos for your dolls! What will they choose?

Halloween special! Plus:My newest doll family member



Okay, I know I said how to MAKE candy was coming up, but a lot of this will be on fun finds. Plus, I added a new Liv doll to our collection. She is discontinued , so we were lucky to get her. Miss Katie, our new doll, will be our model for the fairy costume that can be re sized for any doll from a Lalaloopsy to a My Twin, this dress can be altered in so many ways! First up, the fun finds!
Above are the first finds. They are mini chocolate bars! I got them trick or treating , but I have seen them in bulk at snack kiosks. I got: Mr Good Bar, Hersheys dark, and Hersheys milk. I also got the dots trick or treating.
Next up, the costume! To make the easy fairy dress, you need:
Old lace tablecloth
Old bed sheet
Scissors
Safety pin
1. I start by measuring a piece of the sheet to fir around my doll. I hold it in place with the pin.
2. I cut one piece of the tablecloth the same size as the sheet. I wrap the lace around the sheet, and I add the lace to the safety pinned cloth.
3. I cut a strip of lace the same width of the other cloth. I wrap it around, and I tie it around my doll.
I added The fairy wings from My Froggy Stuff to complete the outfit.
 Presto, You have a costume!
Enjoy!

A huge Dollhouse

Hello!
I know I have not blogged in an eternity, but I have been super busy lately. I took this picture at the world-famous Rijks museum in Amsterdam. Although this is for a 12 inch or a mini doll, I found it fascinating. I do indeed have dolls other than 18 inch dolls. I have a collection of Kokeshi dolls, Japanese mini dolls, and Momiji dolls, which are a line with every kind of resin mini doll, from Pixie (I think that is her name), a cute Kokeshi doll holding a cupcake, To Ted, a sad monkey with tears down his face.
Anyway, this dollhouse was so fascinating! Although you cannot see, this house has a small kitchen, a loft, a parlor, a living room and much more! Oh, how I want to live inside there! I wonder how to make that....
Ooh, do you an armoire? I bet I could use a bookcase for the base!
And the furnishings! Well, wooden furniture sets can work!
And this even inspired us to branch out! Soon we will welcome katie, a Liv doll, to our family!
 Enjoy!

Ice cream for dolls!

Hey guys!
Our technical issues are over! Today I will be showing you to how to make a soft serve sundae for your doll. You will need:
Plastic salad dressing cup
Kleenex
Beads
Glaze
Glue
Oil pastel
Paper cup
Paintbrush

  1. I start by filling a plastic food sample cup to the top with Kleenex. I brush on a layer of glue.
  2. I then put on a pair of rubber gloves, and I coat the gloves with glue. I roll a sheet of Kleenex into a thin rope, and the glue helps the rope take form. I wind the rope around the middle of the cup, and then secure with more glue. Be sure to make sure that when the rope is almost done winding, it forms a peak.
  3. 3.To make sauce, I scribble oil pastel on the bottom of a paper cup. I pour some glaze (I use toys to grow on water proofing glaze.) Into the bottom of the cup. I mix with a paintbrush till the glaze has picked up the pastel color. You can choose which kind of sundae you wish to make. I made a sundae I call the Frostine (Left) using magenta (Strawberry) sauce and pink beads, And a Tropical Glitz sundae (Right) using blue,( Ocean blue)lime green(Kiwi) and yellow(Pineapple) sauces. I used blue seed beads for toppings.
I have so many ideas in the works! Some of them are:
A bedroom
A vintage coffee house
A Chinese Dumpling shop
An Airport
A classroom
Doll Halloween candy (This will be posted on Halloween night, as part of a Dolloween special post.)
Babysitting Items (Baby food, babysitters manual, cloth diapers, medication, reward stickers.)
Those are just some of the wonderful ideas in the works. Well, I have to go go the supplies for the bedroom, so I am Signing out! Click!
Enjoy!
