Making a minature record player for a dollhouse

You will need a jewelry box for the record player to be in.

You need to cut a piece of black foam board the size of the inside and glue it down.

The green circle is a milk cap which you need to spray paint white.  You will also need the silver piece that you see in the picture, this piece will be attached through the milk cap this is the piece that holds the record on.

Make a hole in the center of the milk cap and slide the metal piece through it.  This is what the top will look like.

This is what it looks like underneath.

You need to cut out a circle that will be the record out of and black plastic item.

After cutting out the circle I took a small screwdriver and make circles around the record, to make it look like a record.

I made a hole in the middle of the record, and also downloaded a picture of a minature record label image off the computer.  I glued the label onto the record.

This is what the record looks like with the label.

The record gets glued onto the milk cap which is the turn table.  As you can see in the middle is the silver metal piece that the record goes over.

Now for the arm that holds the needle, you will need this type of toothpick.  Next picture will show you them.

This is the toothpicks. You need to cut off the two fork pieces, don't throw them out you will need one of them for the needle.

This is a piece from cheap plastic earrings from the dollar store, the square piece on the earring needs to be cut off.  This piece has three closed sides and one side that is open.  The open side is going to be be where the toothpick sits in it.

This is the piece you cut off and it has the toothpick glued into the opening.  Under the square piece you will be gluing a bead under it as you see in the next pictures.

This is a cheap plastic necklace from the dollar store I cut off one of the beads that will be glued under the square piece.

This is what it looks like under the square piece.

You need to cut a piece off the fork piece off the toothpick for a needle.  This piece gets glued under the toothpick arm.

You will need a small piece cut off the end of this item, you can use anything for the shape of the lever for the speed.

In this picture you can see the arm with the needle attached and two gold beads also in the front area for the knobs.

In this picture I added the piece off the plastic crown for the speed lever.  I painted a line for the speed area, I painted the tops of the gold knobs white.  I also painted the arm black, silver, and a touch of red on the side as you will see in the next picture.

This is the side view you can see the area where it was painted red this area is what holds the needle in a record player.  Every doll needs her own record player.
