Doll Breakfast Ideas! Doll Fun Special # 3

Happy October!

Since it is the first day of the month, you know what that means... A NEW Doll Fun Special!! :) Does your doll like breakfast food? Pancakes, Eggs, or Bacon? Breakfast food is so easy to make for your dolls, so here is a bunch of fun and easy breakfast ideas for to make!

(If you have not eaten breakfast yet, you might want to first because this post made me hungry. lol)

The first one is the simple plate of food I made from the Michaels AG craft event!

Sunny- Side- Up- Eggs, Toast, and Bacon!


































Charlotte likes bacon! :D





















To make this delicious "meal", cut out squiggly circles of white craft foam and squiggly shapes of reddish/brown craft foam for the bacon. Glue a yellow circle on top of each squiggly circle of white foam to make the "eggs" For the toast, cut out two triangles of white craft foam and color them light brown with a crayon or colored pencil. Add two small butter sized squares of yellow craft foam on top of each piece of toast.

The second breakfast idea is Scrambled Eggs, Bacon, and Toast!





















To make the previous breakfast a little different, cut out squiggly shapes of yellow craft foam for "scrambled eggs."

The third idea is Bacon, Eggs, and a Poptart! I got the poptart idea from Karen on the Doll Diaries post about doll breakfast. I made the poptart a little differently though.





















For the poptart, just cut out a rectangle of white craft foam and color it light brown. Then add a smaller rectangle of pink craft foam on top. Take a red pen and put dots all over it for the decorations.

Your doll might also like Sunny- Side- Up- Eggs, Sausage, and a Pancake!






















Cut out to curved strips of brown craft foam for the sausage. The pancake is one of my favorites! Cut a circle of white craft foam and color it light brown. Add a small square of yellow craft foam on top for the "butter."

Who doesn't love Waffles with Strawberries and Whip cream, Eggs, and Sausage? Yum!

















The waffles are simple too. Cut out two peachy colored squares of craft foam and glue them together. Make lines vertically and horizontally across for the waffle lines with a light brown pencil. Glue a curvy piece of white craft foam on top for the whipped cream. Add two small strawberry shapes on top for the strawberries. (You can also use other fruit if you want.)





















It should look something like this when you are done!

Your doll will be sure to love all of these breakfasts! Have fun making them! I hope you enjoyed this Doll Fun Special!

As usual, if you want to share any ideas for future Doll Fun Specials, please email me at agfan2010@aol.com. I will also add the past Doll Fun Special to my page at the top of my blog, so you can easily read past posts.

Doll Food: Doll Fun Special # 1!

Welcome to the first Doll Fun Special! I have a fun craft to show you all, which you can easily make for your doll/s!

You will need some different colors of clay. Sculpey clay is a good brand. You will also need a clean work space and a paper plate to put your clay on. You might also want to use some tools such as a knife, so you can shape the clay into "food".

















I recently made a bunch of foods for my dolls using this clay! I made s'mores, a chocolate chip cookie, a banana popsicle, a hamburger, a pepperoni pizza, and a lollipop.



































For the s'more, just get some light brown clay, dark brown clay, and white clay. Then cut two small doll sized squares of the light brown clay and shape them into two graham crackers. Add some dark brown clay and white clay in the middle for the melted marshmellow and chocolate.

The lollipop is very simple to make. You just shape some dark pink clay (or what ever color you want) into a circle and slip a cut tooth pick through it.

If you want to make a chocolate chip cookie, mold the light brown clay into a small circle and add little "chocolate chips." (pieced of dark brown clay)

I love my banana popsicle. Just take some yellow clay and shape it into a popsicle. Add a toothpick through it and you're done! (You can even make double popsicles or different "flavors".)

The hamburger is a little more difficult, but it's not too hard. Shape some light brown clay into hamburger buns. In between, shape circular like shapes of green, red, yellow or gold, and dark brown clay. (This will be the lettuce, tomato, cheese, and meat.) Optional: Finally add small white pieces of clay on top of the bun to look like sesame seeds.

The pizza is also neat to make! Sculp some light brown clay into a circle. Add a circle of red clay on top. Finally add uneven shapes of white or ivory clay and place firmly on top of the red clay, leaving some red clay showing. This part can be complicated and will probably take the longest. You can also add red circles on top for pepperoni! You choose!

After you have finished your food, you can bake it in the oven, so that it will harden. I still need to do that... LOL

Then give it to your doll/s! :)





















You can make various other treats for your doll as well! You could make candy bars, fruit, a cake, a pie, and lots MORE! Just be creative and have fun!

I hoped you enjoyed reading my first Doll Fun Special! (I think I will be posting another one this month, but when the school year comes around, these types of posts will probably be only once a month. It all depends on how much time I have...

Oh and I decided to post these regularly on my blog, but made a separate page on the top of my blog for all my past posts, so you can easily read one if you missed one. Thank you Rachel for the idea! :)

Happy Halloween & Craft!

Hi everybody!!!

Happy Halloween!!!!


Last night I had an amazing time at a farm with my youth group at church!!!! There was a HUGE jumping trampoline type of thing, which was SO FUN!!! Then we had pizza, hot chocolate, and s'mores around a very big bonfire! Afterwards, we went on a long hayride in the dark!!! Then I went with my friends in a corn maze!! It took us a while, but we finally got to the end. But what took us even longer was trying to get back out at the entrance. We had to walk through the corn and outside of the corn maze to get back out to the entrance. LOL It was pretty funny!

Anyway, today I have a doll Halloween craft, which you can do if you want!

Doll Halloween Candy

Materials: Brown Foam, Tape, Colored Paper Wrappers

Directions: Cut out a small piece of brown foam the size of a doll sized candy bar. Wrap a colored paper wrapper around it and secure it with a small piece of tape. Then you have doll sized candy bars! (The Doll Party kit has candy wrappers you can use. But you can also make your own or maybe even print pictures of the candy brands off the computer.)

Here's how mine came out!


Have fun making them! Happy Halloween! :D

My Doll Locker! Craft # 3

So here is another doll craft you can make! I haven't posted one in a while, so I thought it was time to do one again. :)

Doll Locker

Materials: A shoe box, cardboard for the shelf or a small AG box, glue or tape, and a locker cover for the outside of the box. (You can get it from the doll school kit, or you might be able to get one from print mini or online.

(If you want decorations in your locker, get little pictures, stickers, posters, etc that are doll sized to hang up.)

*Important Note* Make sure you get a shoe box in which the top lid is connected to the bottom. That way you can open it like a locker.

Steps:

1. Find a shoe box that would work for the size of a doll locker.

2. Glue or tape the locker paper cover onto the front of the box. Let dry.

3. Glue a cardboard shelf inside the middle of the locker. You may also be able to stick an AG box inside and stack the books on top of it. (It depends on the sizes of the boxes you have.)

3. Put your doll's books, binders, papers, folders, etc on top of the shelf.

4. If you want any locker decorations, glue or tape mini pictures, stickers, posters, etc to the lid of the box.

5. You're DONE! You've made a doll locker!

Here is what mine looks like!


The outside...





















The inside...





















It's fun, simple, and easy to make! 

Have fun making one! :)

P.S. I'm really sorry for the lack of posts, 10th grade is very busy, so sometimes it is hard for me to post on school nights, but I'll try my best!

How to Make Doll Flip Flops- Craft # 1!

Hi everyone! :)

I decided to have some craft tutorials on my blog! Since it's summer, the first craft I will show you is doll flip flops!



Materials:

Craft Foam
Cardboard or thick index card
Ribbon
Scissors
Glue
Pen

Tutorial:

1. Begin by tracing both of your dolls feet on the craft foam. (Be careful not to get pen on your doll's foot.)

2. Next, cut both the tracings out.

3. Take your cardboard out and trace your foam tracings on to it.

4. Cut the cardboard tracings out.

5. Cut two 2-3 inch pieces of ribbon.

6. Glue the ribbon around each foam tracing, so that your doll's foot can go through the ribbon like a flip flop.

7. Next, glue the foam tracings to the cardboard tracings.

8. Make sure there is no extra foam or cardboard sticking out around the flip flop.

10. Try them on your doll!

I hope you enjoyed learning how to do this craft and I hope you have fun making them!

Do you have any suggestions for crafts you would like to me show you in the future? I might be able to
