Dolly's closet

Kate's closet.

Greeting friends,

      Recently  I moved from California to Texas , and everybody knows moving involves so many boxes, even though I threw away few boxes  I kept some small boxes for the sake of making some things for my dolls. 

Recently I knitted poly and Kate and thought I should make a closet for them. Kate is all excited about her closet .

This is a fun project for both adults and kids. When parents craft along with their kids I guess the bond between them might become even stronger. Also parents and children can have lot of fun together. So here's the tutorial. 

Materials: 

Cardboard box ( mine is 16 *14 inches ) 

Scrapbook paper,

Glue,

Two kitchen towel rolls 

Tape

Self adhesive Velcro

Two ear buds

A piece of rectangular cardboard and aluminum foil to fit this piece for the mirror or a real mirror

A black permanent marker.

Method : 

 1 keep the cardboard box in such a way that the opening of the box is facing you and the closed part becomes the back of the closet. 

2 . Cut the short flaps at the top and the bottom and the long flaps are the doors of the closet.

3. Now take the two kitchen towel rolls and  join them together and make the width of the rolls equal to the width of the closet . You can tape them together, in case if it tares it's okay , we will be covering it with the scrapbook paper.

4. Now glue the scrapbook paper of your choice all over the closet and for the rod.

5 . Once you are done apply some glue on either sides of the rod and place the rod inside the closet. ( if you want you can use the two short flaps which we cut to make the shelves inside the closet ) 

6. Take the ear buds and mark the top and the bottom black with a marker and stick them on the doors for the handles. 

7. Attach a self adhesive Velcro on top and bottom of both the doors. 

8. For the mirror either you can stick a real mirror or take a piece of rectangle that is appropriate to your closet door and cover this piece with the aluminum foil and then stick the piece on to one of the doors. 

9. Then arrange the closet as you wish.

10. For the hangers I had two small plastic hangers, I just broke  a little on both the sides of the hangers in order to get the appropriate  size to fit this closet.

11. If you wish to make the shopping bags, you can view the  tutorial here.     http://revathiakshay.blogspot.com/2013/10/dolly-shopping-bags.html.   The  purses were purchased at Walgreens .

You are all done now. 

Happy crafting !
