How to make a dollhouse out of cardboard caulk and other recycled materials/ How to make a factory loft for a doll

So I've seen some great ways to make dollhouses one of which was paper mache and let me tell you. Bad idea. I call it a bad idea because the liquid that comes from the paper mache mix distorts your structure and I wanted to avoid this at all costs. SO...how? Caulk! Yes beautiful silicon acrylic caulk very cheap material and super fun to work with!!! :) Now it was hard to document all the pictures anddd currently outside my house there is an ice storm and I cannot go out and buy more material ((because i ran out...i only have one tub of caulk laying around my home)) Mojo jojo: CURRRSESSS!! I know mojo jojo its terrible i'm out of materials for now.  BUTT here are the beginnings of the tutorial/demonstration.

 So here's all the ice!!! Anyways lets get started!

 You will need:

• Caulk, about 40oz ((4 bottles)) to 100oz ((10 bottles)). Here's the one I am using. I am recomending 40oz to 100oz because I used only this small 10oz and as you know..I ran out before I could complete the project -_-"

• A cardboard Box of course. One that thats pretty high up with your dolls. A real factory loft has SUPER high ceilings and I want to reflect that in a dollhouse. I cannot stand when someone calls something a loft and it's NOT a real loft.

• Scissors. Sharp, Metal slicing, strong, scissors

• Dremer5000 This is like a mini detail sander I plan on using but I haven't gotten to it yet so I will say more on it later on but for optional purposes if you don't have this equipment you can use sand paper.
• Duct tape....There's not more to say on this except it came in handy when I couldn't hold the structor down

• Caulk Gun for the caulk

• Plastic packaging such as hotdog bun containers from the gas station and cookie containers from Public

• And Lastly A high temp Glue gun with cooling technology. I got this for 10 bucks at Walmart what it's just a glue gun with a high temp setting and a cold temp setting

Let's start finally!

I started off with my box from the last post I meaured it in half and begain to cut it in half

Then I places the bozes side by side like this to get a guess at what I want my structure to look like.

 Oops my foot got into the picture...my badddd anyways. I takes my structure together and added some of the left over cardboard I got when I cut it in the first place. I decided that for my factory loft dollhouse I would need a lot of room to get the look of an open floor plan so I decided to add those tabs to the end you see here. I even made a window pattern and cut out the kind of large windows I wanted to see.

As you can see I added flooring leaving  walls undone so you can actually put your dolls in. I tried to show more detail but it was hard stopping and taking pictures this time. Now for the plastic packaging I make it into a ceiling roof window.  I also added a door that slides open instead of opening the traditional way because it's a factory loft with real old school factory metal doors.

Now if your structure is finished basic building like mine is I recommend to start caulking now.

I haven't finished my ceiling window because I figured I should cause the details first before adding the rest of the plastic packaging. Now If you read this before starting I still recommend 40oz to 100 oz, one bottle got me as far as almost finishing the front.

This is where the project stops for now because As you saw...the roads are all closed and most likely all the stores are too. Sooo let's move on to the results of using caulk. Perfect. PERRFECTT it's messy here but I can just sand this out later also the cardboard siding you usually get when you cut cardboard meaning ((the edges)) were easily filled up

You can kind of see the cracks filled around this window

But for my verdict a factory loft dollhouse is perfect. I hate the traditional southern shutters and flat square window dollhouse you see all the time in fact I made with my Partner. The one I'm speaking of is the one I made that will be featured in my room tour video that I'm almost finished editing just need to add voices.

I'll update the finished tutorial later and I promise to actually film. I couldn't get anyone to just hold the camera...I'm going to go build a tripod asap. 

OOAK Monster High doll repaints, new project, and other pictures!

Alright so you saw my last tutorial right? RIGHT! lolz well I'm going to start a new one since school was canceled on account of an ice storm here soo...yeah goo gsu! Lolz
So I thought let's catch up. Here is a doll repaint I finally got around to finishing

So after finishing her up I decided to check out some clothes and poses with my new doll forks.

Pretty cute was the end result! :)

She even looks cute with my papercraft miniatures that will be on my etsy account again. Right now I'm in a waiting period of getting my shop back together, we are building new dollhouses as we speak so i've been waiting to rearrange, take new photo shoots, and get back on track. 

 Meanwhile these
papercraft minis
look nice with the
monster high doll
articulation.
These cost around a
dollar on my etsy. They come with 4 different themes DIY
gotta love it.









So while I'm editing my doll tour video i'm going to starting a personal project dollhouse so my pictures
won't have things like my hands, my workshop, and my mess in the background. Here's the box i'm using, It's one ply meaning easy to cut less clean up more fun! I've always wanted to live in a factory loft so that's the theme i'm going for sayyy helloo to HIGHHH CEILINGS!

How to make doll minirature forks, knives, and spoons tutorial

Alright guys it's my first tutorial! This tutorial will show you how to make doll utensils easy :)

You will need:

• Floral Craft wire ((inexpensive and easy to cut with scissors and easy to shape))
• Polymer Clay or cornstarch clay((anything that hardens and keeps it shape really I used polymer clay))
• Pliers
• scissors
• Oven
• Ball tool OR a bobby pin bent straight
• Optional: Sliver paint and other colors

Note: Please craft at your own risk and use an adult if you lolz "Need an adult"

The fork:

First cut four individual pieces of wire like so and grasp them like so anddd..

Twist the ends together leaving four untwisted, leaving a lot of excess to resize later

just like this!! :D

now take your pliers and bend it so its fork shaped

just like this so it looks like a rake

Nextif the fun part, bend the long side of the fork so it's thick size to fit and remove excess with scissors

It should look something like this when you do this. Already fork-like right?
You should keep in mind if the fork..sprung thingies get too close I just slid a piece of paper through it to reshape it to look the way I want, straight and neater. 

Cover with polymer clay or cornstarch and your done! Its ready to be baked!
Now...
The Spoon:

The spoon is a little bit easier, instead of cutting a bunch of individual wires you are going to cut one reallllyyy long piece of wire fold it in half but leave room to make a spoon shaped hole when you twist it leaving a hole like so..

Just like the fork, you are going to fold the ends to make it thick and to adjust the size to your doll, then cut off excess. 

here is me folding it so u can see a little better on how its done.

this is what your spoon should look like now take your pliers and bend it slightly and add your polymers clay or cornstarch clay

Almost done!!!

Finish adding clay to cover the wires completely

Now take your ball tool, if you don't have one I just use the ends of a booby pen that I bent straight

FINISHEDD!! :D Ha, now it has a spoon dip.

ready to bake! On to the next...

The Knives:

this will be much shorter because i believe by now you have the concept down.
the knife is just like the spoon. Exceptttt. You must shape the hole left more oval-like and kinda pointy like here.

Cover with Polymers clay or cornstarch clay and its ready to be baked with the rest of the doll utensils.

 Now optional:
You can choose to leave how it looks when it baked OR you can add some paint!

Now you don't have to use pink like I did, I just love pink and later I'm going to paint strawberries on it. Now for you to try, I'd love to see your pictures on 

instragram: type in @Seasonalfrostbite so I can see :D or

Hopefully you guys will be much neater then me.
Anyways that's all for now see you soon!
