Puppet Theater!

Materials needed

*Cardboard box, You can use any size that you want, This one was from a cd player.
* masking tape
*acrylic paint
*foam brush
*some ribbon and hot glue gun
*Stickers of people or animals
*different colored cardstock
*popsicle sticks
*clear spray paint

Cut the bottom off box, and cut a square in front. Cut one of the flaps into a tower crown shape! Emma helped me paint the box and top crown any colors you wish! Don't forget to paint the inside of the box too, so that when you see through the inside, it doesn't look ugly! Emma placed stickers on the colored cardstock! And I cut out around the stickers!After you cut around the stickers on the paper, hot glue gun them to the popsicle sticksHot glue gun the top crown part to the box. and deocorate with ribbon and stickers. I put a ribbon where the top crown and box meet to cover up the hot glue. And ribbon along the bottome of the box for decor! The flowers and green swirls are painted on! After all is done, spray the clear paint all over box too avoid scratching off paint.I still haven't got a picture Emma using it, in the day light, where you can see her enjoying it...but really soon!

Emma's Kitchen

For this past Christmas, I really wanted to get my daughter Emma a Kitchen set! But I saw a before and after picture of something similar to this on a blog and decided that I could do this really easily! So we found this t.v. cabinet on craigslist.... I painted it white and added the silver oven top! I cut a circle in the top and silver painted a kitchen strainer for the sink. I then found some plastic plumming at Lowes and put the two together as a faucet. I also found wooden dresser nobs at Lowes and painted them green for the kitchen nobs! I added a white dowel and made the curtains out of left over fabric from Emma's beadspread! It turned out so so cute...and just wait till you see the felt food I made below!All of the food is just made out of felt and hand sewn! No patterns. I just found pictures online and tried to figure them out on my own!

Fruit!Vegetables!Breakfast foods!Chips and crackers!Cupcakes and Cookies!

Pizza!

There are others, but these are the pics I have so far! I will update it again when I make more!
