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.

before

after

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.

Awesome Fabric Find from Kijiji

I love Kijiji, but sometimes I forget its there, I'm looking around for cheap fabric, hard to find, plus I like to have good inventory of fabric because my decorating and fashion inspiration starts with the fabric.

 

 

Then I remembered, hey maybe someone on Kijiji is selling fabric, duh....and yes there was.
I met this very nice lady who had binders full of beautiful fabric, so I went through all of it and told myself to only pick 20. I don't really know what to use it for yet, but it will definitely be used. Maybe for some new fashions for the Monster High dolls and barbies, maybe some nice curtains or upholstery for the dollhouses. I can't wait to use them.

Lola's Fashion File no.1

 

 This outfit was made out of old leather gloves for the top and some fabric

we got from the dollar store plus tulle under the skirt. Very easy to make. 

We use velcro at the back to fasten the top and skirt.

 

 This outfit was made out of a pencil case I bought at Dollarama. Just cut holes for arms and 

added velcro to the back. A black ribbon for the belt.

 These two outfits were made from yarn and crocheted. I am no expert in crochet, only know of few knots and definitely not enough to give a tutorial on it. Draculaura's dress is from an old pair of jeans, with ribbon as a belt and beads to adorn it.

 Nefera's outfit - the vest is crochet with grey wool, the top is velvet and the skirt is from 

an old purse. Nothing is safe here I cut up purses, umbrellas, whatever I can find and destroy to make fashions for my nieces dolls or to use in the dollhouses as curtains, rugs, upholstery etc...

 

Draculily's outfit is one of our favourites, she'll probably be wearing this for awhile.

The skirt is material I found at a garage sale, I added tulle, ribbon and a bow to it, we love it.

The top is the bathing suit she came with, the vest is crochet yarn that I made, and the necklace is from my jewellery box, I will have to borrow it from her when I need it.

 

I got this beautiful boa from the dollar store, it was actually part of a dog toy. Can you believe it.

I go to the dollar store and walk the aisle and I try to think 'outside the box' and find items for the dolls and dollhouses. 

This is another favourite..Draculaura's white dress, crochet...I used an old fake diamond stud as a broach and a small piece of ribbon as the belt.

I hope you've enjoyed our doll fashions. Please vote for us 'fashion doll top 100' at the top of this page on the right hand side. Thank you so much for your votes.

How to Make a Doll Lamp & Night Table

Hi everyone, I want to welcome my new subscribers and friends, thank you so much for joining my blog.

I made a few changes at Skull Academy, did you spot them?

One is the night tables and lamps. Here is a quick tutorial on how to make it.

grap some beads you like...

I took apart an umbrella and got these pieces that are perfect for the lamp, and it fits through the beads...

I used building blocks and clothespin hangers as legs painted them black and silver. The legs are not that sturdy so I may have to cut the tip off and glue again. I have also added handles. Great thing about these clothespins is you could face them different ways to get different looks.

after

after...I added a handle to all tables

after

 I will update pics in a few days, I have added handles. Plus take pics of the renovated rooms.
