Most of the decorations in this photo story are from the American Girl book Doll Boutique. When I say "from the set", I mean that it is from Doll Boutique.
I mainly got this set for all of the decorations that it comes with. And that's a good reason to get the set, because you can see how many decorations it comes with!
Grand opening sign from the set. It is double sided to fit two different decorating styles. I personally went with the less bold style because I thought it was prettier.
The sign for the dressing room.
Mini American Girl shopping bags- how cute! I actually didn't use this in the photo story.
Sign for the Petite Boutique. See, this style is really pretty!
The open and closed sign which is essential for any store. It is has "open" on one side and "closed" on the other, so you have to use the fancier, prettier style for the sign anyway (the others have bold versions of the different signs on the back.)
One of the posters for the shop. It is actually a black and white photo from the American Girl magazine.
Gift cards from the set. My dad made the stand out of paper.
A little receipt pad that I just used for display in the photo story. The pencil is from Chrissa's Craft Studio.
This is an awesome computer that comes with the set. It is made of study material, and it has a very detailed keyboard. But you have to put it together.
In the drawer of the front desk (which is from Chrissa's Craft Studio), I put some dollar bills for change and some of the business cards included in the set.
One of the doll magazines you can make from the set. Just glue the designed paper to the cardboard included for your magazine. The kit has enough for 4 magazines. However, if you want the front to look like this, there will be a little space that is uncovered in the back because they did not make the paper long enough to cover the whole cardboard piece.
The blue cardboard piece in the picture above is actually included in the set so that you can make a table; you just need to put it on top of something like a cup. I put mine on top of a candle holder.
The dressing room! I made it using boxes. I used more boxes to hold up a blanket for a curtain. (Nobody actually went in there. :D )
This comfy chair is a mini Pillow Pet.
The kit gives you this purple cardboard piece to make a dress rack. You are supposed to mount the rack to your tri-fold using glue, but I used ribbon and a lot of tape to hold up mine. Then I put a little piece of tape behind the rack so it would stay in place. Next, I slid a skewer in the holes and hung up some dresses. Voila!
I wasn't kidding when I said I used a lot of tape! My dad did all of this taping on the back for me. He even used a few skewers. This is on the back of my homemade tri-fold.
And, I used American Girl boxes for the displays.
So, I hope you enjoyed this behind the scenes look at the Doll Boutique post! If you want me to give you some more behind the scenes information on any post, just let me know in the comments. じゃあ、また！(That's "See you later!" in Japanese!) :Doll Whiz
P.S. I do not work with American Girl in any way, and all opinions are my own.
