Green Helmet

Few days ago I worked on this helmet. It made of plastic egg that come with candies or stuffs inside and craft foam. The idea come from My Froggy Stuff. Fortunately my nephew had this small skateboard. So I be able to take this pictures. Even though barbie would love a scooter :)

Dresses from a Pair of Socks

A niece of mine was born last November. So she's getting bigger everyday and her little socks didn't fit anymore. After I got permission to turn the socks into barbie dresses I start to use my imagination and browse some video in youtube. And...this is how I turn a pair of socks into, little pink dresses. You can use zigzag stitch to prevent it from fraying. I haven't done mine.

Chain Necklace with Leaf Pendant

Wow...the time really goes by. I have some dress and necklace I made a long time ago but just had time to post it right now. 

This is two kind of necklaces I made some times ago. A necklace with leaf pendant just as lovely as other necklaces. 

Hello Kitty Face Pillow

When thinking about making Michelle birthday gift, I crossed with a cute pictures of Hello Kitty and thinking about make a face pillow. 

Making a pattern on a piece of a paper and then copied the pattern to white felt fabric, and I sewed across the edge. Fill the pillow with stuffing and finish up to sewed the edge. Then I make stitches for the eyes and nose. Add a red felt to make a bow and sew it to the white felt.

But I think I forget something... I forget to make stitches for the cat whiskers. Oh well... I sew it next time I visit my niece :) 

Update 23/02/14:
I had the chances to work on the whiskers today. So I'll post the picture after I sew on the whiskers.

Hello Kitty Bedcover & Pillows

My niece just turn 7 last July. If people ask what kind of gifts she wanted for her birthday, she will say something with Hello Kitty themes. Meanwhile she ask me something for her barbie just like last year. It took me 2 months to finished up the request because I still have no idea what to make. And then I remember that she had barbie's bed but hasn't had bedcover. So I decided to make bedcover and matching pillows.

At first I was thinking to make bedcover with fabric I have at home but then it cross my mind to matched barbie's bed set with hers. She plan to decor her room with Hello Kitty themes. So I decided to make Hello Kitty theme bedcover and pillows.

It took me 2 hours to work on it but it took me forever to find Hello Kitty theme fabrics. Finally I found a fabric that could work nicely as bedcover and pillows with small enough Hello Kitty on it. The fabric is the one you used to wrap a newborn baby. So the fabric almost feel like felt, smooth and soft but not as thick as felt.

Since my niece had a pull out bed, I make 2 bedcovers and 4 pillows. I also make one Hello Kitty face pillow from felt as decorative pillow.

Chain Necklaces with Beads Pendant

Been busy last few days but I have one ready to post story. 

This necklace inspired by plenty of necklace pictures and My Froggy Stuff. So I ask one of my neighbor who has accessories maker business for some chain and beads. And it turn out pretty. Planning to make some more of this things.

Beads Necklaces

I had a little bit problem to named this necklaces. This necklaces copied from my mother in law necklace. To bad, this are the smallest beads I can get. So it still looks to big for barbie, although still nice. 

Sleeveless Flowery Top

I try to make a new outfit for my dolls. This flowery fabric turn out quite nice. Add some accessories and my doll ready for beach party :)

Purple Felt Dress

Another inspiration from My Froggy Stuff. Turn out to be a nice dress. Adding a little beads detail make the dress prettier. With felt bag, matching necklace and purple shoes, Barbie ready to go out.

A Traditional Touch

It's been a while since I found some scrap fabric from my Thailand's songket. The size fit for one Barbie's skirt. But I just had time to make it and post it in here. This dress is kind of dress you used for a  wedding party or semiformal party in Indonesia. The top is easy to make. My aunt teach me how to make it. This fit barbie perfectly.

Bedroom

Finally I finished up the bedroom. Bed made from cereal box covered with white fabric and secure with duck tape. Both side of bedcover can be used. The bed completed with body pillow and regular pillows. To complete the bedroom setting, I add yogurette table with books, pencils and chair. 

Dangle Earrings & Matching Necklaces Pendant

New in the accessories line are dangle earrings and matching necklace pendant. Nice for your doll and you can always matched it with your outfit. 

School Supplies

Things you can put on your table can really be varied. Pictures above showing you how to filled up your table with school stuff such as books, pencils, colored pencils and drawing book. How to make books and pencils can be found in one of My Froggy Stuff videos in youtube. 

Yogurette Table

This table made out of yogurette box. It's a chocolate box. I didn't paint or cover it because it already had a nice picture. For the leg I used wooden clothes pins and wooden hand-fan that broken. I glue the leg to the box and then glue the fan. Put your stuff on top of it such as books, pencils, etc. Pair it with chair and your table ready to use.

Bookends

I have to look out to Ikea katalog to find out how the bookend called. New word for me since I don't use English as my first language. Anyway... the idea came up when I start making books for my dolls. I don't make too many books that need a bookcase but I need something to keep it stand up on the table. So I'm thinking about making a bookend.

To make a bookend, I just need small paper clips. I bend one part of the paper clip until it shape like 'L'. And your bookend ready to use. If you don't have a wall to hold your books on the other end, so you need 2 bookends to keep your book stand. It's so easy to make and also simple.

Wooden Leg Stool

Another inspiration I got from My Froggy Stuff. Yeah sure, she's really creative and plenty of idea. This time I use a water gallon cap for the seat part and chopsticks for the leg. It's not easy to find wooden dowel here in Jakarta. So I have to be creative just like froggy mama. With old fabric and glue gun, the stool turn out pretty nice.

No Sew, No Glue Chair

Still inspired by My Froggy Stuff. I'm using Pringles canister and old t-shirt. It turn out pretty nice for my 11,5 inches doll :)

Chair

Inspired by My Froggy Stuff, I was planning to make the chair. Fortunately my sister brought ice cream from her office. So after eating ice cream, I told everyone to collect the stick. So far I got 6 sticks. So I only able to make one chair. This chair is quite easy to make but a bit tricky with the legs. One of the chair leg keep sticking out. Well, there's nothing perfect in this life :)

Cardboard Drawer

This drawer also one thing I made for my niece. Instead of making the one that look like a drawer, I decided to make real drawer so she can keep something inside of it. The surface covered with duct tape and I used beads for the handle. Instead of gluing the beads, I used wire to fix it.

Sofa & Small Pillows

This sofa was made for my niece. She's keep asking when I will make her something else. So in one day, I ended up making sofa, drawer, books, bed and pillows. Tutorial how to make this can be found in this blog.
