Monster High School House Dorm Room 3 & Bathroom

Oops almost forgot about my school house room tour posts...I got side tracked with the new episode of Skull Academy and the doll food I made.

Here are pictures of Deuce's and Jacksons dorm room. The room is small so there wasn't much room for anything, just the beds. I should have used a thinner piece of styrofoam but this is all I had. I could have used cardboard but after all that cutting, I just didn't feel like doing anymore cuts. I had this piece of styrofoam, I just had to add some filler at the top and it works.

Here is the finished room. Very simple, the headboards are leather, I wrapped a piece of leather around some cardboard, the bed itself is made with cardboard and sponges, I keep saying I'm going to do a video tutorial because so many of our viewers have asked...but then things get busy and I forget until I write a post about it. I will get to it one day...soon...it's on my 'to do' list...

The corkboard was made from a cork coaster I got from the dollar store, I painted it silver.

I'm all about black, white and silver. The lamp was made with beads, hard stock and some chain.

The night table is a square building block, and a clothes hanger clip I took a part. The curtains are from Lola's old halloween costume. The bedspreads are crocheted by my mom, Lola's grandma.

I made the chandeliers with wire and beads.

The bathroom, the heart of this room is the tub, it was a great find from the thrift store and best of all it was free! There is a leg missing. The toilet is a piece of styroam I shaped then paper mached it with the toilet seat and cover...on the right of the toilet is the toilet paper roll. The sink the sink is a shot glass, I got a piece of styrofoam, carved out a whole for the glass, then paper mached the vanity. The curtains are material from an old umbrella, ok maybe the umbrella wasn't old, but I liked the material.

The bottom half of the wall are invitation cards I found at the dollar store, I cut them and glued them to the wall. The art is also found at the thrift store. I would love to replace the picture with art send in by you our viewers. So send us a scan of your art work preferably paintings with a lot of colour...and we will display your art in our school. You can see your art hanging on our walls while watching our show.

Ok, so thats another two rooms down. Thank you for stopping by. Please vote for our blog for top 100 doll sites. Thank you so much to those of you who have and who also leave comments. You guys are awesome!

Skull Academy Before & After Tour Monster High

Boys Dorm Room Furniture

 Hi everyone...welcome new subscribers, thank you so much for subscribing...you are all now entered in our big Monster High doll giveaway...and all future giveaways.

What do you think of the new dorm room? I have posted about the coffin bed and popsicle stick bunk bed, here is the before and after pics for the other furniture in the room.

the night table...

I got this little jewellery box from the dollar store, it's great as a night table for the dorm room.

I glued on some wooden feet...you can use beads as well, then stained it.

I love how it looks in the room and its perfect for storing little items.

the ottoman...

This is an old watch case, I had this and was very close to throwing it away, I was actually going to strip the material from it to use on something else like a chair seat, then I thought this would be perfect as an ottoman for the boys room. All I did was add some feet to it and voila, an ottoman...I might bling it up or add a chain later, but for now it looks good.

the dresser...

I got this jewellery box from Value Village.

Great to use as a dresser for the dolls.

 I painted the front silver and glued some zebra print paper on top and the sides.

I forgot to take pictures before I glued on the little alien...:)

 Thank you for stopping by.

More Bling to Rooms

The Monster High school house I made is still a work in progress, I will keep adding or taking away stuff as I am finding new things. The doll dressing screen I made for one of the dorm rooms was lacking something, I always wanted to add this chain to it, but never got around to it, but I finally did, it looks so much better. This room is going to go through more changes because there will probably be new students coming after Christmas, I have a feeling my niece will be getting more dolls and they need a place to sleep. I don't want to make another dorm room, so I'm replacing the single beds with bunk beds.

Check out 'our little shop' if you want to buy a bunk bed for your dolls.

I love how the dressing screen turned out, I also added more bling to the lamps 

and lighting fixture on ceiling. 

This is Operetta and Spectra's room, I don't think they will like the idea of getting new bunk beds, 

but what can you do?

 

Rochelle and Lagoona's room just need a little more bling, the cork board was looking kind of drab, 

so I added the bling around it.

That's it for now, I am decorating the house and restaurant for Christmas, 

I will have pictures and a post soon. 

Send us pictures of your dollhouses and doll crafts, we would love to share them with our readers.

 

How to Make a Doll Restaurant - the Floors

The Flooring...
I love how the floor turned out, I didn't want to do the giraffe print for the restaurant, because that is the schools flooring, and I wanted it too look elegant so I did a hardwood flooring, well more like soft wood, I used popsicle sticks.

After laying the floor down, I stained it.

Now that the floors and walls are done...time to start decorating, my favourite part. I will post the pictures tomorrow of the decor features I added, and a final video on our YouTube channel probably Sunday...with a little stop motion clip (I will post the video here to so its easier to get to).

I have only done a few videos in stop motion and it was done with me holding the camera and trying to stay in the same position taking the pictures, well that didn't work out very well.  I love how stop motion looks and want to do more of it but it has to look better, I didn't know why it wasn't looking very smooth, one of our YouTube viewers told me all I need was a tripod... duh... another duh moment. So I started looking for one on Kijiji and found a few, I also asked my brother because I know he has some good cameras and woohoo he had a tripod to give to me, now you can't get a much better deal than 'free'.
Thanks bro... you're awesome!

So don't forget to subscribe and join our blog and YouTube channel so you won't miss any of our new stop motion videos, tutorials and our web series thats getting alot of great comments 'Skull Academy'.

Thank you so much for stopping by and viewing my crafts.
YOU ARE AWESOME!
I think I use the word 'awesome' way to much :) but it fits :)
