On A budget?
Make your own hut for Lea or any other doll to live in!
Supplies:
- Paper towel tubes, cut vertically in half
- bamboo paper
- brown paper sacks or butcher paper, roof
- lots of glue
- scissors
- Glue bamboo paper (or the paper towel tubes vertically) glue onto the exterior.
- Cut butcher paper or paper sacks in thin strips leaving a 2" solid uncut edge. Glue the solid strip to the roof.
- Add butterfly stickers
- Add ferns, greenery, butterflies and plants from the dollar store
*Note you can also use bamboo place mats for the exterior.
Looks great.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great idea. The hut looks really nice and not too busy which is great. Love the butterflies and grass from the craft store idea too. I always love homemade items because it is your own and unique. Plus there are no limitations of how big or creative you can be. I even see this one having faux hanging lanterns or little lamps.
ReplyDeleteI was waiting to see how long it would take before you came out with this DIY, Rhonda! You are a lot like me that way.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately I do not have room for this beautiful house, or money to buy a modern AG (I'm saving for Addy, Molly and Felicity) but I think I have the money (and space) for a Snickerdoodle Street style project. In fact, I am determined to make Lea's entire collection sized for the 6" minis. Found an Ebay listing for mini Lea and mini Maryellen (the two dolls whose collections I like but dont have room for) so it's perfect! Hope to send you pictures of my mini Lea house when I make it.

go to target and get mini lea out now for 9.99 S>R>
ReplyDeleteThe Ebay listing I found (for the two dolls whose collections I want but don't have room or $ for) is for $45 and free shipping. Since each minidoll from AG is $25 plus shipping, I'll save $5+ and get both minis I want.
DeleteDetailed post coming up (here or Snickerdoodle St. I dont know) of my DIY mini Lea RF house.
