More Jewellery Box Transformations.

Here is a couple more dollar store jewellery boxes transformations.

I keep forgetting to take pictures. The jewellery box below was natural and yes I covered up the carving on the top of the lid...I didn't want to but you can't even tell there is a carving there so why not. I covered a piece of sponge that I sized and glued it on top. Then I glued a chain around the box.

So these two jewellery boxes become seating and storage for the dorm rooms.

For this jewellery box, I added some wooden legs, added a seat, chain and some gems.

Night Tables Redone

Hello, I hope everyone is doing well. We are giving away our laptop tomorrow and will be contacting and posting the winners here and on our Skull Academy blog. We are working on another giveaway with more winners and more chances to win. Stay tuned :)

I made these night tables for the dorm rooms awhile ago and used clothes pins for the legs, I used the narrow point to glue it to the block but it was really flimsy so I had to come up with something else.

I found these great little plastic forks at a discount dollar store, I don't have many silver ones left. I went back to the store to buy more, but there was no stock...I hope they re-order, I haven't found anything better to use for legs and decorating. Crossing my fingers :)

after

I used the clothes pins again but this time I glued them on the side of the block instead of under it.
It should hold alot better, so far so good. I may have to use the clothes pins for the restaurant chairs, can't find anything better and easy. The clothespins are the perfect size and are already cut, I just need to take them apart and paint them.

Thank you so much for subscribing and joining my blog. Please vote for 'top 100 doll sites' above. Thank you so much for your votes, I think you can vote more than once, so please keep on voting, we don't win anything but it's fun. Thank you!

How to Make a Doll Dorm Room #2

monster high dorm room part 5 chandelier

The dorm room is almost finished, now for the chandeliers, they don't work but they look pretty.

Materials needed: styrofoam ball, chain, wire, beads and card stock.

Cut the styrofoam ball in half...

After your beads are on the wire, cut the cardstock or decorative paper, I used a notebook cover.
Wrap it around the styrofoam and glue it.

Now poke the wire with the beads through the styrofoam and then wrap the chain on the base of the chandelier. Voila finished...well not quite, I do want to add more bling to it, already planning a room makeover.

Thank you to my new friends for joining. Please join and subscribe so you don't miss the rest of the tutorials. Plus I will be making another dorm room, more students have arrived at Skull Academy and a new hangout for the ghouls. You will love it. Thank you :)
