DIY Doll Clothes Caddy

Last post I showed you how I made some doll hangers for my dolls. Now I have finally got the clothes caddy painted so can share photos of how we made it with you.

The wood used for the structure is some board from the back of an old wardrobe.

The base is 34 cms x 20 cms,
the front and back pieces are 34 cms x 10cms. 
the side pieces are 20 cms at the base and height is 49cms, 
DH drew the shape and cut it out for me. He drilled a hole at the top of the side pieces to push the dowel in. 

We glued it together with white craft glue and sandpapered it.

Just checking it is the right size before painting!

I used acrylic spray paint. It took two coats to cover it enough.

For the two knobs on the sides I used two pins from a cork board. I cut off the sharp point and hot glued them to the sides. 

The letters were from a box I bought DD a while ago and were already painted. I decided to leave them as they were. The flowers were also with them.

An umbrella, a handbag, shoes and boots and some pretty clothes and the doll is all set!

How do you like the results? 

Diy Doll Clothes Hangers

I have been busy making some doll clothes hangers. It is expensive for me to buy them online here so diy it is! 

I saw various images online which used craft sticks with hot glue. I decided to use some white vinylic craft glue instead, it is slower drying but gives a good result. 

 For each hanger you need:
3 craft sticks. (I used some  6.7"-17cms long (tongue depressor size).
1 cup hook ( I used a 1" size. The screw part was almost 1/2" long) 
white craft glue.

Something to cut the sticks with. Sharp scissors will do, I used a small saw.
Sandpaper.
Acrylic paint.

Mark the center of the stick. Cut away a small amount the size of the screw. 

Glue the two pieces to one stick. Place the cupscrew in the middle and glue. Put the top stick in place and leave to dry. I used pegs to hold the "sandwich" together. 

When it is dry lightly sandpaper the hanger and then paint. I used two coats of paint. Add a decoration if liked. 

I am busy now making a clothes caddy to hold the clothes and accessories. You can see it in the photo. It still needs finishing and painting but already works! 

More about that next time!

Olive Picking Hat

Olive harvest time. 

My DH requested another hat. Driving the "monster" which shakes the Olive trees can be cold work at times. 

The olives are changing from green to black. Beautiful.

I decided to add the very simple knitting "pattern" on here so I remember it.
My Mil asked me to show her it so she can make one for my Bil. (Mil has started knitting again.)

Olive Picking Hat.

I used Fingering weight yarn used double. Size 4mm (US 6) needles.

Cast on 96sts. 

Knit K2, p2 rib for 70 rows. 

Start decreases:
1: K2, p2 tog; repeat to end of row. (72sts) 
2: K1, p2; repeat to end of row. 
3: K2tog, p1; repeat to end of row. (48sts) 
4: K1, p1,across.
5: K2tog across. 24sts 
6: P2tog across. 12sts. 
Thread yarn through remaining sts, (I do that twice), sew seam.

Very quick and easy, made in an afternoon.

 Wood is being stashed for winter fires. 

My Black Cat as usual is busy controlling everything is being done correctly!

All is well down in the Olive Groves!
