Cupcakes and Cows

 Hey, readers! You probably just read the title and said "Huh?" Well, this is a video that I made a while back. It is called Cupcakes and Cows. You'll see why it's called Cupcakes and Cows after you watch the video.

 Enjoy! Doll Whiz 

 P.S. I got the prices and the items from a real World Vision catalog, but I am not associated with World Vision in any way.

Saige

Hi again! You may be thinking, "Four posts in one day?" But, I'm just really excited about my new blog! Have you seen Saige, the new American Girl? I have taken some pictures from the American Girl Magazine to show you her collection. Enjoy!

First, we have Saige in her meet outfit.

Here is a better look at Saige's Dress and Belt for Girls. 

 Here are Saige's Accessories. Lots of jewelry!

I do not work for American Girl in any way, however, I copied their names for these outfits and used their pictures for this post. 

I hope you liked this! I want to purchase some of these items, especially Saige's Sweater Set and Saige's Painting Set.

Slip On Ice-Skates

Hey, readers! Today, I will show you how to make ice skates for your dolls. American Girl Doll suggests that you paint a clothespin silver and glue it to a pair of white boots (from their book, Doll Play), but what if you don’t want to buy a pair of white boots? Today I will show you how to make ice skates that you can slip on boots that your dolls already have, and take off when you want, no gluing necessary.

  My doll is 18 inches, but you could make these for your smaller dolls with a few adjustments.

What you will need:

Scissors (I ended up using bigger scissors than the ones shown)                             Paper Clips (2)

Elastic (I used bead cord)                                                                                     Cardboard

Tape (I also ended up using duct tape)                                                              

Your doll’s boots (Or any doll shoes, you only need to trace)

Pencil (And possibly an eraser)

   

                                          Step 1: Trace your doll’s boots onto the cardboard.

                                             Step 2: Cut out your tracing. Be careful, though.

Step 3: VERY CAREFULLY poke holes into each side of each skate. I used a pencil to stab through the cardboard, but you may need to use something safer.

   Step 4: Now cut 3 pieces of elastic for each skate. My pieces were a little less than 3½ inches long.

                             Step 5: String each piece of elastic through the holes on the skate.

                                                                  It should look like this.

Step 6: Tape the ends of the elastic under the shoe. I ended up having to use duct tape as well so the elastic ends wouldn’t slip out. You can see the duct tape in step 8.

                                                   Step 7: Do the same for the other shoe.

Step 8: Tape a paper clip onto the bottom of each shoe for the blade. Once again I put duct tape where it wasn’t covering the blade for more support.

Step 9: Carefully slip the new skates over your doll’s shoes. Make sure that the elastic ends don’t slip out from under the tape.

Thanks to Char (at Doll Diaries) for inspiring me with her doll snowboard and American Girl for inspiring me with their skates. In American Girl’s book, Doll Play, they say to use foil for the ice. 

                                                         Have fun! See you later! Doll Whiz
