Summer vacation is here which means my girls are in the mood to create! They love making things for their dolls bur are looking for something new this year. I’ve been looking all over the web trying to track down ideas and make a list of things to get when we go to the craft store later this week. Here are some of the projects I think they will want to start with:
- Make an easy tent for your dolls
- For mini dolls (or Polly Pocket) here are all the instructions for making a complete doll house from materials around the house
- Purchase doll sized t-shirts from the local craft store – decorate with fabric paint, jewels, and more to create custom shirts for your dolls
- Make your own doll flip flops
Some great books for doll craft inspiration:
Doll Crafts: Make Your Doll Accessories to Fill Her World! (American Girl)
Doll Tees: Sparkling Shirts to Make Your Doll Shine! (American Girl Library)
Doll Purses: Create Tiny Totes Your Doll Will Treasure! (American Girl)
Making Furniture & Dollhouses for American Girl and Other 18-Inch Dolls
Kirsten’s Craft Book & Kit (American Girls Pastimes)
Tiny Treats: Fun Foods to Make And Eat (American Girls Collection Sidelines)
Show off your creations!! If you make anything for your dolls, please send in photos to share@dolldiaries.com for us to show off for you. If you can, send in the list of supplies, instructions and a photo of the completed craft. Or if you have more craft ideas, please send them in for us to share.
