DIY Mini Doll Table and Chairs

Meant to post this back in December but just never got around to it.  For Christmas I bought my niece a ton of Lalaloopsy Tinies to add to her collection of mini Lalaloopsies.  Since I couldn't find a small doll table in the stores I set out to create one myself.  I got this idea from a YouTube person who reviews toys.  She made a cute table set and so the creation started. Here is what the final version looked like:

Here is what I did to make this table set.  I bought some mini spools in two sizes and some wooden shapes.

I took some craft pain I had and painted the pieces in some bright Lalaloopsy like colors.

I wanted to add a little more whimsy to it so I added some details to the pieces.

I glued all the pieces together with E6000.  My niece really loved her new table to have her dolls sit for a tea party.

DIY: Finger Puppet Theater

I purchased some cute finger puppets from Amazon for my niece as part of her birthday gift.
I didn't want to just give her the puppets, so I decided I would make her a quick puppet theater. I wanted one that would be very girly, can stand up on it's own (on a table top), and could fold up easily for storage. I decided to use and old priority mail box I had lying around. I cut the tops and bottoms off. I then cut down the middle of one of the panels and then cut a square opening on the other.

I covered the entire box (inside and out) in scrapbook paper (I used K & Co. WB Gypsy Baby Paper Pad which is no longer available). Then I used one of the long top flaps I had cut off earlier and used it as a sign on top. I used some glitter chipboard letters. I also used some white tulle scraps I had and some ribbon to create the curtains. For the curtain rod I used a chop stick.

My niece really liked her new puppet show stage.
