I was excited to finally be able to buy some new craft supplies and boy did I get to work!
I bought the mail box last year around Valentine's Day at Target for a $1, and then bought a wooden candlestick holder from Hobby Lobby for $2. I painted the candlestick silver and glued the mailbox onto using E6000 glue to make sure it won't fall apart.
I knew I needed some pots for my doll, so I set to work. Using cardboard, glue, paint, and Modpodge, I made these pots. They open up and look great with the dolls!
Next I made a lot of food. I used cornstarch dough for most of it. I used pastels and paint for coloring, and then coated everything in Modpodge.
Here is some carrots and celery! You'll see why I made these later. : )
Hot pretzels are a great and yummy treat! These are so cute!
Can't forget about the cookies! By the way, I used Modpodge to attach the salt to the pretzels, and the chocolate chips to the cookies!
Since I wanted some bread, I made these pull apart rolls we make at my house all the time. I love how they turned out.
I wanted to make some meal items, so I made spaghetti with meatballs! I made the meatballs separately so they could be removable.
Who doesn't love waffles! I used the
MyFroggyStuff tutorial for making these along with the syrup to go on top. It was so easy and they were fun to make!
I love soup, especially with the cold winter we are having right now in Michigan. So I made chicken noodle soup and tomato soup! My favorites!
To make the broth, I colored the inside of a plastic cup with washable markers (I used the Crayola brand), I used lots of yellow, a little green, and few dots of brown, then I poured in some Modpodge and mixed it all together. I poured the Modpodge mixture into the bowl, then I took the clay pieces I made to resemble chicken, celery, carrots, and noodles, and scattered them through the bowl. I wanted most of the glue to dry, then put a thin layer of the Modpodge mixture on top. I thought it turned out great.
For the tomato soup, I mixed together white glue along with some red paint, and a few drops of brown. I dusted some green pastel on top to add the look of a little flavor and let it dry. Both of these soups took about 3 days to dry thoroughly.
And that is what I have been working on the past few weeks! I'm happy with how most of my creations turned out. It was my first time doing a lot of this and found it to be fun. I hope to make more in the future!
Have a wonderday!
