Year of the Dolls!

I am no longer a CTMH consultant but I still like to find creative outlets.  This year I have decided to focus on my daughters and their dolls!

I want my girls to enjoy being children and not to rush into adulthood.  Playing with dolls is a great way to stay young.

My first craft was a doll chair.

It was definitely a learning experience for me.

I started with a Cosco sized cereal box.  After drawing out my design on one side I cut out that side and used the scrap as a template for the other side.

Next I covered it with duct tape.  I didn't worry about wrinkles because next I was covering with fabric.

Hot glueing fabric turned out to be harder than it looked.

I decided to skip the ruffle around the bottom.  Instead I added a belt.

To secure the fabric and help my chair to sit flat I added a piece of felt to the bottom.

It's a fun start to a new year! Now I just need a box big enough to make a couch to match.
