Inexpensive Doll Accessories

Hello,

The dolls have spent more time thinking of ways to make more accessories. Here are some of the ideas they came up with.

Cotton Candy

• Using colored Q-tips, cut the Q-tip in half. You can use a pin to fluff up the cotton somewhat. To make it a larger Cotton Candy, tear apart a cotton ball making it fuzzy. Dab some glue on the Q-tip end and adhere the cotton ball to it. For color you can spray lightly with spray paint.

Movie Popcorn

• Using a plastic bottle cap, paint like a popcorn bucket (stripes possibly). Then using styrofoam...break it into small pieces. To make it look buttered, LIGHTLY dab some thinned yellow paint on the styrofoam before crumbling it.

Icicles

• With a syringe, you can obtain these from a pharmacy, pipe Elmer's glue onto wax paper. Start with a large dab and moving toward yourself, gradually thin the icicle down. Let dray. Once it is dry, you can remove it from the wax paper and adhere to wherever you like.

Mini Credit Cards

• Watch in the newspaper for tiny "coupon" images such as credit card pictures then laminate them.

VCR Tapes

• Watch for "movie club" flyers in the mail. Paint a wooden block sized 1/2"x 7/8"x 3/32" black. After cutting the mini cover out, adhere to the top of the block and the title to the spine.

DVDs

• Once again "movie club" flyers are the source. Only this time adhere them to a thin square piece of painted wood.

The dolls leave you with these ideas and hope your weather has grown a little cooler as ours has.
