Making a decoration around a mosaic window on a dollhouse

In this picture you can see a small square window on a dollhouse.  The first thing I did was make this window look like a fake stained glass window using nail polish, it is transparent when it dries and looks great and the lines for the lead look I use black paint pens to make the lines.

In this picture I did all my stained glass looking windows. Next to add to the square window, I don’t like how it gets lost on the house.

I’m sure you have seen these folding fans at garage sales, flea markets etc.  I will be using pieces off it.

In this picture you can see the pieces I cut off the fan blades, don’t throw any of the other pieces out they can be used for other projects.

In this picture you can see that square window now sticks up for itself.  Use your imagination with the stained glass look, the decorations and you can change the look of any window. I made another blog that shows you how I make fake stained glass windows. Check out my other blogs. Use your imagination and it will soar!

Making dollhouse railings from a salvaged Barbie dollhouse

In this picture you can see the piece I took off a plastic Barbie doll house. They were orange.

In this photo you can see how I cut one piece into many, painted them with nail polish and put some nail polish sprinkles on the top diamond on it.  Using pieces from a plastic Barbie doll house or any plastic house can be turned into anything you can think of.  Use your imagination and it can soar!

Another view, which I also added some miniature lighthouses to the front also.

Making a faucet, dish sprayer and handles for a sink for your dollhouse

 In this picture you can see the fasteners that I used to make the handles for the sink.

 This is the top of the sink that I’m going to put the faucet on, sprayer and handles.  This piece is made of black foam board. Easily found at an office supply store or craft store.

 I cut off most of the stems off the paper fasteners (Otherwise the flat bit would be too long and would punch through the other side of the foam board).  Then I took my razor knife and put two slits in the top and put a drop of hot glue in the slit and pushed in the fasteners.

 This is what you are going to need for the faucet, a small screw and a piece of wood square shaped.

 In this picture you can see that the little screw has been put into the piece of wood towards one end.

 You need to cut down the two corners of the front of the wood to round off the front of the faucet.  Also, cut a piece off the wood and glue it to the other end underneath to give the faucet height.

 In this picture you can see the faucet piece glued onto the foam board.

 Now for a dish sprayer I used headphone earpieces, which you can purchase at the dollar store.  I cut the wire off and leave just a little piece of the wire so I can glue this into a hole that I make in the foam board with a push pin.

 In this picture you can see the hole I made in the foam board and the push pin I used I wiggled it around to make the right sized hole.

 In this picture you can see the dish sprayer glued on the foam board.

I then used nail polish and painted the handles, faucet and sprayer all the same color. I also painted a ring around the sink.  The next blog I will be showing you the kitchen cabinet that this is on.  Then I will show the finishing things for the whole piece.  Check out the other entries blogs to see how to make a stove, sink base and dishwasher one piece unit.

Making a fake stained glass window for a dollhouse

The first thing I do is look for a design that I want in my stained glass window, while sitting at

my table i noticed this flower in the tablecloth and this is what I wanted as the design.  The next thing I do is take the window that goes with the dollhouse or I make a window out of plastic from a cover for a folder, you will see that in the photos. But in this case I had the window.  I then lay the window over the design I want and useva paint pen to trace the pattern.  After doing that if it is still not dark enough I use black paint with a tiny bristle paint brush to go over the design I drew again.  

 

I then take out nailpolish colors and start filling the design like coloring in the lines when coloring a coloring book.  After im finished coloring it in and it dries its ready for installing.  You will see how beautiful this turns out and think of the designs you can make.  I even use this technique for making older looking windows which you can also see in one of the photos.  Have fun use your imagination. Also make sure the nice side faces outward on your house.
