A different duck tape purse for your doll

2/16/2014

Here is a different type of duck tape purse for your doll. It's a "hipster" type purse, so it's flat, and doesn't require a box to make. I think I might show a "tutorial" next weekend on how to make it. The strap is, unfortunately, too short to go over your doll's head (but you can fix that problem by just making a longer strap). I think it turned out really well.
I hope you all have a great week this week! It feels so great to be back blogging!

Duck Tape Purse for your doll (or for you!)

2/10/2014

Once again, I've missed my one week goal, but you have to admit that I have been doing much better than I have been! I used this book (again) to make a duck tape purse for my doll. In the book, you use a box for your "mold." (You get this box back after you have finished your form). I followed the instructions in the book, but a box from a deck of cards. I think the purses came out really great!

If you use a bigger box, you can make a purse for you. My mom is in the process of making one for herself (it'll be a lunch box), and it looks like the one on the cover of the book! I can't wait to be able to show more duck tape crafts soon!

These are the purses I made! Nicki modeled a few that went with her dress, and would like to know which one you think goes best! Leave your comments below!

As always if you make a duck tape purse for you or your doll (using any pattern you find), I would love to see pictures, and will be happy to post them for you!!

I should have another post this weekend (since I have a long weekend)!!

More Duck Tape Crafts for your dolls

1/27/2014

I know I didn't quite make my weekend goal, but I have time tonight, as all of my homework is finished, and now we areRecently, I made a few more duck tape crafts for my dolls. I made a hair bow. I cut about 2" of duck tape for the doll's bow (and used about 6" for a human bow). The directions on the Duck Tape website aren't very specific about how much tape to use.

I also made a bracelet. The directions for this bracelet came out of the same book that I got the necklace out of. I just followed the directions at the end... but I did still fold the tops of the duck tape like you do for a Duck Tape Rose.

You can also make a duck tape bows for mini-dolls. I cut about 1 1/3" of duck tape for these, and then when I was finished, I cut some off the ends because it was too big for the mini-doll (and it's really hard to work with a really small amount of tape).

If you make any duck tape crafts, please email me a picture and I will definitely post it! I'm so happy to have found a new hobby. ;)

Duck tape Petal Bracelet... or Necklace?

1/18/2014

I got duck tape, and two new books from Hobby Lobby today and decided to make a Petal Bracelet for me. After I was done, I modified the instructions a little bit and made a Petal Necklace for my dolls. (I also folded the corners to meet half way, versus the way the book shows you... like the way you do for a duck-tape rose).

This is the book I used to make the bracelets. The instructions are on page 32.

I had to modify the instructions a bit. I mead two rows and bent them in opposite directions, and then I used duck tape on the back of two of them to meet them in the middle.

I also taped string on the back too. Now you just tie it in the back.

I really do enjoy blogging (again)!! I am thinking of doing another craft for next weekend. Can't wait to share it with you once it's finished. :-) If you try this craft, please send me a picture [email protected].

Marisol likes her hair tie, and matching scarf and hat. They'll be great for the cooler weather.

An upclose on the hair-tie.

Jade-Lynne LOVES her new scarf.

Kanani and her new basket.

A post with diretions on how to make some of this stuff will be either on here or on Doll Science in the next few weeks.

Don't forget to enter in the Give Away!!

My Dolls' New Hat... made by Lily

8/4/2011

Hey Everyone,
I just finished my first crocheting project. It is a hat for my dolls. You can see it in progress in this photo (above). I already started going around the edge... It was suppose to be
a pot holder. Here is the story.

At first my potholder looked like a potholder, then when I started to skip stitches and experiment, it looked like a sock, then a baby bath tub, cradle, and then a hat! I will have to start over on the pot holder, but that's ok. :)

For anyone who knows anything about crocheting, you know that you are suppose to turn around and double crochet back (or single); and not go around the ege. I started experimenting and went around the edge of the potholder. I also started skipping a few stitches. This is how I got the funny shapes.

Now; here is the photo. I might eventually be able to make some for a give away (no that is not the gift!). :) I hope you enjoy the photo. It was definitely a great experience for me. :)

I hope you enjoyed that photo.

Lily :)

PS: I hope you enjoy the Poetry Blender (new gadget on the blog side-bar). You might notice I had/ have a bigger version on the "Extras" page.
