I was browsing at the Container Store and picking up some boxes for some Ebay stuff, and I saw these boxes, made to haul beer around. I knew straight away I had to make doll houses out of them! We went to two birthday parties this weekend and each little girl had their gift "wrapped" in a dollhouse! They each took about an hour to make, though I'm sure I could shave that down once I had the measurements.
Supplies: 12x12 decorative paper, paper cutter, I used my sewing machine to do some cute stitching on the windows and doors, rubber stamps (I eventually added the little girl's name in an arch over the door which was super cute), and I used a xyron machine to fix the paper to the houses, but you could use a spray adhesive, or paper glue. Go wild!
Other obsessions include this paper which I printed for free off The Small Object! I love her things! Why can some people just do a little scribble and make it look so amazing? Considering Sarah is now selling things at Anthropologie, I consider free printables off her blog a major score. There's a link to her blog on the left toolbar.
Lastly, I am amping up my camera strap making! And I am obsessed with these colors and patterns from Anthologie, which I got at the quilting store in St. Charles on Mother's day. Gorgeous colors. After I get my pattern for the strap down pat I'll publish it here.
Does that make two blog posts in two days for me? Woo hoo!
