DIY Doll Toothbrush



For a doll toothbrush I cut a Popsicle stick to a good length.  I cut a small square of craft foam and glued to the trimmed edge of the Popsicle stick.  I glued  a Velcro piece of the same size as the foam to the foam.  It gives it some bristles.  Easy Peasy.

DIY Doll Grill & Charcoal




I made a doll grill with a recycled metal bowl (could also use a plastic bowl).  I glued wood skewers with hot glue to make the cooking rack on top.  For the legs I cut out two shapes from wood (see above photo)  They fit together with the notches.  You can also make from cardboard.  This is a fun simple grill. 

For the charcoal I cut floral foam into small rectangles and rounded the edges with a knife.  I spray painted them black with a few spritz of white paint.

DIY Doll Tennis Racket




I made a doll tennis racket by cutting out the net shape from plastic canvas.  I also cut a white strip 2 squares wide from a full sheet .  I just hand sewed the white frame to the blue netting with yarn/crochet thread.  I added a loop at the end to attach to the doll.  I will wrap electrical tape around the handle.

Birthday Spider Poem/Song

 
 
Tune: Itsy Bitsy Spider Climbed Up the Waterspout

Lyrics:

The itsy bitsy spider climbed up the birthday cake.
Itsy bitsy quickly learned he'd made a big mistake.
He climbed up the candle before the cake was cut.
The itsy bitsy spider, he burned his little butt! pzzz!

I made a friendship bracelet for my daughter and one for her 18" doll with directions from here.  They even have free printable disks to make it super easy.

DIY Doll Slushie


I made doll slushies by breaking clear plastic beads and gluing them around the edges of the $1 store cup with hot glue.  I crumbled up some saran wrap and filled the center and glued into place.  I glued more broken plastic beads on top.  A straw could be added.  I used what I had on hand.  Super easy and fun.  My daughter and her friends love these.

Doll Shakes/ Ice Cream Cups




I made these shakes/ice cream cups by adding silicone caulk to plastic shot cups that I purchased from the $1 store.  I mixed some paint with the silicone in one of the cups.  Before the caulk dried I added sprinkles which are little bits cut from plastic canvas.  My daughter and her friends love these.

Here is a place where they are made from pom poms in cups.
