So, I decided to make Emi a Barbie house. What fun it has been! It has taken a lot of planning and imagination, but it is slowly starting to come together. Yeah me! Unfortunately, I have not been taking too many pictures along the way. I thought I would start to put it together in this blog post. I will need to revisit this topic though. THERE IS SOOOO MUCH! I will post as I work from now until Christmas. I started with two bookshelves I got for $5 a piece at a yard sale. Lovin' it. I have been waiting for an opportunity to use them creatively. And so it began. I started to look at things in a new way; miniature. I scouted for things I could turn into mini-household decor, etc. I am having a blast. Haha.
This cute little chocolate tin became a coffee table with storage.
I glued marbles on for feet.
I put a little decoration on there; a few stickers and beads.
This is an early view of one of the bookcases. I used duct tape on the floors. Scrapbook paper for the bottom half of the walls (the pretty wallpaper), and tissue paper, a lot of patience, and Mod Podge. I really like the effect I can get with tissue paper.
This is the bathroom/changing area. That black thing is a shower stall. I used cardboard and duct tape. I glued a bead and string on the side for a latch. I then glued it to the wall. I like the striped craft paper in this room. It has a loooong way to go!
On this floor I used a piece of an old, fuzzy shirt as carpeting. Cute!
MORE TO COME!!!!
