Doll Cookie Set

My daughter enjoyed cutting out cookies from craft foam and adding chocolate chips with permanent marker.  For the gingerbread cookies I punched a small cookie cutter into craft foam where it made enough of an indentation for my daughter to see to cut out. 

 

I made the cookie sheet from easy to cut disposable tin cookie sheet.  I cut it out and folded over the 1/8" edges using a ruler/straight edge.  I then pounded flat the edge with a hammer to prevent cuts/injury. 

For the over mit I used some fabric scraps from a quilt I had made.  It had batting sandwiched between two fabric layers.  I cut a simple rectangle shape, curved one end around the fingers, and sewed aroud the three edges.  I added bias tape to the opening and flipped the seam to the inside. 

Doll Pencil's, Pencil Box, & Paint Brush

My children and I made doll pencil's out of small dowels just thicker than a wooden skewer.  I cut the dowel in 3" lengths.  The kids ran one end of each through the pencil sharpener.  We glued a pink Perler bead on the flat sanded end of each pencil to look like an eraser.  We then cut a small rectangle piece of tin foil to wrap and glue around the seam of the bead and dowel.  My kids used markers to color their pencil's yellow and black for lead.

The doll pencil box was made from a cassette tape case.  I cut off the little plastic prongs that go through the cassette reels.  My kids added small stickers to the box.

The paint brush was made from a dowel piece just like the pencil's, about 3" long.  For the brush bristles I cut little pieces of fishing line and hot glued them to the dowel end. I then trimmed the bristles flush.  I glued a strip of tin foil over the seam of the dowel and bristles. 

The colored pencil's were made with 3" long dowel pieces.  My kids sharpened one end in a pencil sharpener and colored with markers.  Easy Peasy.

Doll Backpack

My daughter picked a new backback for back to school.  With it came a small pack attached for extra little stuff.  We removed the small pack with the attached velcro.  We cut off the velcro pieces.  I then sewed matching yellow 3/4" grossgrain ribbon to the back for straps.  You'll have to measure for lenght and placement with your doll.  It fits perfect and was super easy. 

Doll Swimsuit

I made a swimsuit/leatard for my daughters American Girl Doll.  We used the free pattern here at liberty jane..  Another free swimsuit pattern I love is here at beach baby doll.

Doll Fire

My daughter and I made a fire for her American Girl Doll.  We used a recycled CD, glued rocks and sticks to CD using hot glue.  We cut fire from craft foam and glued it to the sticks.  We most definetely used real mini marshmallows to pretend roast.  Great fun.

Kiss Me Candy Board Countdown

I made my countdown board from directions from here at Infarrantly Creative. I painted my words by printing out on paper and tracing leaving a lite indentation on the wood to paint. I made it on the backside of my "Countdown to kisses" here.

Woven Heart Basket

I found directions for these great woven heart basket here at maya*made. It was a bit tricky at first but once you get it you get it.
