Birthday Gift for Michelle

This is what my birthday gift for my lovely niece. I promised her barbie's dresses for her birthday when I got back from Geneva. Besides dresses, I make her a set of walking closet. One dresses closet with 9 dresses inside, necklaces, one shoes rack including the shoes, one coffee table with desk lamp and one bean bag. The gift exclude my barbie because she had 9 already :)

Bean Bag

I meant to make bean bag but instead of bean I put styrofoam that used to pack fruits. I got this idea from myfroggystuff's youtube video.

Dresses Closet (2)

                            

This is my second dresses closet I make in one year. This time I use shoes box to make it. I covered it with used gift wrap and put a scrap paper mirror and door handle. I use pencil as the bar and pushpin to hang necklace or bag on the door. I also put accent on the top and bottom part of the door. As closet's foot I use 4 bottle's lids on the bottom. The idea was combination from my experience and this blog.

Shoes Rack

I've seen one of video in youtube that use plastic container as shoes rack. But instead of buying plastic container, I used cardboard to make it. I also put used gift wrap around the box as an accent.

Desk Lamp

The idea of this desk lamp I got from this blog. 

Coffee Table

I made this coffee table from small plastic cookies jar. I put material to cover the jar and glued it to the jar lid. As an accent I put small ribbon around the lid. The cookies jar itself can be used to put barbie's shoes or accessories. It will be multifunction furniture.

Pink Top & Gathered Skirt

I promise my niece dresses for her barbie on her birthday. And I had one week after my sister's wedding to prepared the gift. So I mix the gift between my hand crochet dress and the sewed one. She has nine 11.5" doll. So I need to add some new dress to the collection. Since the sewing machine ready to use, I tried new pattern I had. So this is the ninth dress I made for her. Still need more practice on sewing small dress.
