To make your own you will need:
-A nightie from Springfield Doll Collection

Step 3- Choose your colors and fill the bottles of your choice of colors to the line, shake and set aside
Step 4- Use the elastics provided to bunch up your night gown. I wanted an hombre type of color so I selected three shades of pink and sectioning the dress into three.

Step 5- Un roll, rinse under water and remove the elastics. Continue to rinse remaining color and follow the instructions to machine set if wished. Allow to dry completely and then dress your dolly!

Make It Monday! Dress Up Your Dolls Dress Shoes!

Today I wanted to show you how to take your doll shoes to the next level! Dress up your doll shoes with some ribbon, double sided Aleene's Fabric Fusion Tape from ilovetocreate.com, 
and some slider notions you can find usually in your scrapbook section of the craft store!
To Dress up your own shoes you will need:
- A pair of your doll shoes, I used Blue Patent Doll Shoes from Springfield Collection 
-Coordinating ribbon
- A pair of Sliders
-Aleen's Fabric Fusion Tape  
-Scissors
-Ruler

 

Step 1- Assemble all your supplies. Cut two 4.5 inch pieces from your ribbon.

Step 2- Feed your ribbon through the slider as shown in the photo above. 

Step 3- Center your slider and flip your ribbon over.

Step 4- Cut a small amount from your Fabric Fusion Tape  and place it on the middle of the back of the slider. Press one end of your ribbon into place, then repeat with more tape and fold the remaining side into place.

Step 5- Repeat step 4 on the remaining ribbon and slider.

 

Step 6- On the back of your bows and sliders cut a strip from your Fabric Fusion Tape and place it on the back or the bow. Peel the backing off the tape and center and press your bow in to place. Repeat on the remaining shoe and slip on your dolls feet!

I loved using this tape from Aleene's and I love to create because it was so strong and requires no drying time and is no mess. This would make a great craft for a party or rainy day craft!

I look forward to sharing more doll crafts with you again soon!

Make It Monday Dolly Cheese Burgers!

Spring is the start of BBQ season and on nice days like today you can smell the BBQ's going as soon as school is out! Today I want to show you how you can make your own doll sized Cheese Burgers from oven bake clay for your dolls to enjoy this BBQ season.

For Today's Make it Monday craft you will need:
-Oven bake Clay  in dark brown, tan and orange
-An oven
-A craft knife
-Wax paper
-A baking sheet
-A tooth pick
-A Ruler

Step 1: pre heat your oven to the directions on your oven bake clay package, cover your work space with wax paper.
Step 2: Unwrap your dark brown clay and work it with your fingers into two one an 1/2 inch "flattened patties" set aside and wash your hands so that the darker color on your hands doesn't transfer to your lighter tan clay.
Step 3: Unwrap and roll out bun's from the tan making the bun bottom and top slightly larger then your patties

Step 4: Time to add the cheese, unwrap and remove a small amount of orange from your clay package, roll it out and flatten it, then use a craft knife to create a square slice of cheese.
Step 5: Assemble your cheese burger and gently top with your top bun.Then use your tooth pick to make the "seeds" on your bun. Gently poke holes in the top of the bun.

 Step 6: Place it on a baking sheet and bake according to the clay package directions. Remove and cool before allowing your dolls to eat them!
