New Series! Miniature Monday~ Cookies and Milk

I will be introducing a new series every Monday called Miniature Monday, where I show you how to make miniatures for your doll house, Barbie's or similar size doll. Today I'm going to show you how to make chocolate cookies and milk!

Milk: For a cup, you can use a bead, a real miniature cup, or I used a little cup-shaped thing that snaps into another one that holds a bubble container on a string. 

Tear off a little piece off of a cotton ball and roll it. Push it into the cup. 

Done!

Cookies: Use a hole puncher to punch out a circle from tan(chocolate chip) or brown(Chocolate choc. chip) foam. 

Use a brown or black Sharpie to dot little dots on the cookies.

Plate: Press the cap of a glue stick or similar size lid into the foam to form an imprint.

Cut it out. Use a smaller size lid and lay the plate on a sponge or cotton ball and press the smaller sized object into the plate.

Glue the cookies to the plate. Cover it all in a layer of Mod Podge. 

Done!

Enjoy! (ha ha, sorry her face looks red)

DIY~ Make Bow Earrings

Is your doll in need of some earrings to spruce up her summer wardrobe? She will very happy if you make her these!

You will need:

felt

2 small paper clips

a ruler

scissors 

hot glue gun

1) Unbend a paperclip

2) Cut of the smaller side where it starts to curve. You may want to open the bended part open to fit around a doll's earring. Do the same to the other one. (To cut the paperclip, I find it easy to keep cutting it until it gets black, then twist it off)

3) Cut out a rectangle from the felt 1" long and 1/2" wide. 

4) Pinch in the middle and glue.

5) Cut a little strip a little less the a centimeter wide and an around 1" long. Glue around the middle of the bow.

6) Repeat until you have two.

7) Glue bow to the paperclip.

Take your doll's regular earring posts out. Put the bow earring right behind the thing on the earring, you know the main gem/metal piece(I don't know what's called...:P)? Slide the earring back into the earring hole.

Your doll has some new dangle earrings to enjoy!!

Enjoy!!
