First Day of Camp!

Today was the first day of Camp Doll Diaries!  As soon as we arrived we went to check.  We had to wait a while because the line was really long.

 Finally Marisol checks in.  Our camp leader, Grace, was checking in everyone.  She is super nice!

Elizabeth is still waiting!  She has a huge bag!  She is wearing a headband that Angelique from My American Girl's Story sent us.  Isn't it adorbs?!?!  She is also wearing some chocolate chips converse that our lovely sponsor Ada from Release Rain sent us.  They are very well made, super easy to get on, and they are a neutral color so they go with lots of outfits.

Sonali and I chatted about what activities we are planning to do at camp while we waited for the other to check in.

Finally everyone checked in and we head to our cabin! 

A closer look at the sign.

 

Oh no!!!  There is only room for three in a cabin!  Some of us are going to have to camp in a tent!

I called the top bunk right away.  Marisol wasn't to happy about it! :)

Elizabeth was reading the schedule for meals and activities.

Ahhh!  Know I'm going to snuggle under my warm covers for a nice sleep.  I can't wait for tomorrow and all of the fun camp activities to begin!

Have a nice night!

Make Twisted Fabric Flower Pillows

Hi girlies!  So two days ago when we showed you here how to make a couch some of you asked how we made these pillows.  So today that's what I'm going to do.

You're going to need:

-fabric

-scissors

-hot glue gun (Don't we use this every time?☺)

-sewing machine or needle and thread

-stuffing

Cut a rectangle 3 inches wide and 4 inches long.  This is for the pillow part.  Cut a strip of coordinating fabric 2 inches wide and about 24 inches long. (You won't use all of this.)  This is for the flower part.

Put your pillow pieces right sides together and sew all the way round, but leaving about  1/2 inches open.  Right side out, stuff, and sew the opening closed.

Take your other piece of fabric and start twisting it.

Add a dab of hot glue and begin rolling it into a spiral/circle.

Once you have the size you want cut off the excess fabric leaving a little bit.  Add hot glue to the back of the flower and press the extra bit of fabric on top of it.

(The front)

Add some hot glue to the back of the flower and press on to the pillow. 

Ta da!

Aren't they so cute?!?!  Have fun with these.  Try making several in different sizes for one pillow.  Be creative!

Have a lovely day!

Make a Couch

Hi everyone!  Today I'm going to show you how to make a comfy, cushy, couch.
You're going to need:
-fabric
-cardboard
-hot glue gun
-scissors
-pencil
-ribbon
-fabric scraps, fleece or stuffing

 First start off with a shoebox and some extra cardboard.  (And yes, that's a pizza box.)

Place the shoebox on top of the cardboard and place your doll sitting on the shoebox.  Draw a line where your her shoulders are.  Draw a line the width of the shoebox.

Cut it out.

Tape the piece to the back of the shoebox.

We taped another piece of cardboard on top of the seat to make it sturdier.

Draw a line on the back of the couch where your doll's elbow is.

Place the couch on it's side on the cardboard.  Draw a line on the cardboard where the elbow line is on the back of the couch.

Cut the piece out twice as long.

Fold the cardboard in half on the line.  Tape to hold it in place.

Tape it to the side of the couch.

Cover the couch with fleece, fabric scraps, towels, or any other kind of padding.  We put some fabric scraps in an old pillow case.  We added some fleece at the arm rests.

Cover the couch in fabric.

Hot glue the fabric to the bottom.

Hot glue a piece of cardboard on the bottom.

Hot glue some ribbon around the bottom to finish it  off.

And you're done! 

Enjoy your comfy new seat!
