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.

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.

Restaurant Decorated for Christmas

Hi everyone, I want to welcome our new members and subscribers, thank you so much for the time you give us reading our blog and watching our movies, we are truly grateful.

The restaurant will finally make its debut on our Skull Academy web series that we have uploaded on our YouTube channel sometime this week so I thought I would add some Christmas joy to it. Tell me what you think of the decorations.







 I made the wreaths that are hanging on the back wall but we're waiting for you to send us scans of your paintings to hang on our walls after the holidays.



I also decorated the tree and made the little tree centerpieces on the tables. The santa is actually a candle I got from Value Village.





I will post some pics of the Monster High school house, I decorated it but I don't think its as nice as the restaurant. I will post the pictures here and on our Skull Academy blog.

Thank you... :)

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.

New Bigger Light Box

I finished my new bigger and better lightbox and its fabulous...well bigger anyways. I decided to use foam boards instead of a cardboard box.

Materials Needed:
  • 5 Foam boards from Dollarama $1.25 ea
  • 1 white bristol board, or any colour you like for background $1
  • white duct tape $1
Tape the Foam boards together to make a box. I cut out a square on the top so I can fit my desklamp through. I was going to cut out squares on the sides for the other 2 lamps but the box is so big I am able to just put the lights on the inside of the box. Slide in your bristol board, I want to find bigger bristol board so it fits the box so I can take pictures of even bigger objects.






Here are a few pictures I took with my new light box.






It only took 10 minutes to put it together.

Thank you for visiting. I made alot of new changes, added more pages, see above tabs, more pictures. I will be updating them often so please subscribe or join my blog. Please send pictures of your home-made doll crafts and I would love to post them here.

Oh yah, I gotta say it, please don't forget to vote for us, see top right hand side for a few top dollhouse sites. Thank you so much :)

Please don't forget to vote for us :)  see top right icons...there's 2...Thanks so much :)

I am planning on a couple projects this weekend, I think I need a new light box, the one I made is just too small...I will pass by grocery store tomorrow to see what boxes they have, if they don't have the size I want, I 'll have to go buy one from the packaging company I go to. Then off to dollar store for white bristol board for the light box, I use tissue paper, but I think I have enough of it for the box.


It's time for a new one, not just because of the size. The tissue on top is ripped and the white bristol board has a few marks on it...I think I'm going to make it a little different so I will post about it.

So please check out my little shop and tell me what you think, for example what would you like to see in the shop. Keep in mind dolls are not included.

Thank you...have a great night!
