How to Make a Doll Bunk Bed with Cardboard & Paper Mache

Hey everyone, I made this awhile ago, but I don't think I ever posted it.

Materials Needed: 

cardboard

paper mache mix

paint

fabric

sponges

cut 4 pieces of cardboard 3" x 11"

this will be your headboard and footboard

glue 2 pieces together to make it stronger

cut 4 pieces of cardboard 3" x 9" 

this will be your mattress base

at 9" the dolls can only lie in bed when legs bent, if you want 

to lie them flat at another 2" so cut 3" x 9" pieces

glue 2 pieces together to make it stronger

on my bunk beds I wanted to add a rectangular hole on the footboard 

and headboard, make them any size you want, but before cutting

decide where your mattress bases are going to be glued...and just

cut underneath one and above the other like picture below

 time to paper mache

you can skip this step and cover it with paper or paint

now its ready to paint

glue sponges together to make one long one

cover with fabric 

its up to you if you want to glue mattress to base

the ladder

use coffee stir sticks

cut 2 long ones same size

lay them side by side and cut smaller pieces for steps

glue steps onto ladder than paint it

easy peasy :)

How to Make Doll Beds

Hey everyone, check out our new tutorial video on  how to make easy doll beds...one thing I forgot to mention in the video is the base is 3" x 9"...the dolls will lie down with their legs bent, if you want them to
lie flat make it 3" x 11". I made mine smaller so they fit in the rooms better.

New Plants for Doll Restaurant

Hey everyone, I hope you'are all doing well.

I realized that all the projects I do, are not ever really going to be 'finished'...not until I actually hand them over to my niece but for now they are all in my possession, because of the MH show we do on our YouTube channel... whenever I look at them I think, how can I make it better... well for the restaurant below it was adding more plants... so I made these for the restaurant and now I'm sharing it with you.

I used small clay pots I found at a gargage sale last year, 

some Christmas garland and play doh. First I painted the clay pots.

Then I grabbed a chunk of play doh and shaped into a ball...

Then I put the play doh inside the pot and that will hold the green plant.

I cut some of the leaves off the bottom so I can push it through the play doh easier.

After you have all your stems in, trim it a bit so it won't look so messy.

Looks so much better. 

Please send us scans of your paintings for our dollhouse and restaurant walls. We are not looking for anything doll related just art...could be self portraits, abstract, scenery etc...anything you like.

I am also thinking of changing the wallpaper but not sure if I should. I would actually love to remove the back bench and just add tables on that side of the wall, I love how it looks now, but after shooting a couple of episodes for the Skull Academy show on our YouTube channel :) I think it would be a lot easier to shoot the scenes if the dolls were sitting sideways. I don't know, maybe I'll just leave it. I have been trying to find some new wallpaper (aka giftwrap paper) I bought the gift bag below, because I liked how it matchs the fabric but I don't know if it will look better on video and I'm not really sold on it, tell me what you think, do you like it or should I keep looking.
