Hey There!

Creating miniatures is lots of fun! My friend Blog of All Trades told me about some Barbie doll bunk beds she made, and inspired me to make some of my own! 😉 This project took about 3 days, and I am super happy with how it turned out!

For the bunk bed structure, I used popsicle sticks, hot glue, skewers, and wooden beads for the legs. Once the structure was finished, I made a dark stain using the tutorial from My Froggy Stuff!

For the mattresses, I used thick foam, cotton fabric, small buttons, and hot glue. An old fleece sweatshirt and matching cotton made great blankets! I used the same cotton fabric for the mattresses, blankets, and pillows for a uniform look.

Overall, I am very pleased with how these doll bunk beds turned out, and hope the dolls like them, too. 😉

Living the Sweet Life

Hey There!

I love drawing – it’s one of my favorite hobbies. I go through sketchbooks super quickly due to all the time spent sketching! 😉 Sometimes I will pull out my sketchbook, but the boring cover does not inspire me at all! I have decorated some old sketchbooks in the past, but haven’t done it in a while. I just recently got a brand-new sketchbook, and decided that before I fill it up too much, I will decorate it to make me happy. ❤

I love bright colors and happy vibes! Glitter, neon yarn, and scrapbook paper are just a few of the materials I used. I am extremely pleased with how my new and improved sketchbook turned out! If you are an artist, I encourage you to decorate your sketchbook in a way that is completely your own! Try recycling small things to add to the front – I used some soda tabs! I hope my sketchbook will inspire you to be artistic and have fun! 😀
