Baby Doll Bassinet TUTORIAL

It's a giving season and I am in the spirit, so I decided that I will post this tutorial. Keep in mind, I have never posted a tutorial before.

V and Co: how to: easy doll diaper bag. Katie's birthday is at the end of this month. she is all about little tiny things...and babies. she plays house most of the day and if she's not with her babies she's playing with tiny little babies that fit in your hand (well, when she's not bothering i mean playing with the dog.) i've worked on her kitchen (you can see a little of it here) in the past but now i'm focusing on her baby's needs. upon closer inspection you can see that this little bag is carrying quite a load, and if she's anything like her mom...the more pockets the better to stuff crap in that you *think* you need. :/ this little bag was found at michaels in the scrap-booking section on clearance for $4.25. i've found like ones at walmart (in black and brown and pink) when i saw it first (over a year ago) i thought "funny that looks like a diaper bag...oh my gosh that looks like a TOTALLY CUTE DIAPER BAG!!!

Well, instead of using real diapers which would have probably been shredded to pieces after a while, I whipped up some felt diapers for her to have. She liked these better because “they are prettier” than real baby diapers I made them a size to fit a variety of dolls/animals. You can see them on Curious George, an American Girl doll, and an Itty Bitty baby doll.

Grab your velcro and place them in the spots marked below. Now let your little one start diapering dolls and stuffed animals. Made By Marzipan. Craft Project: Snow Baby Ornament. I've been having a lot of fun creating new Christmas ornaments lately.

So, I began with a little trip to JYSK to pick up this nubby, black runner on clearance for $10. So I gave it a quick clean and laid out my materials: · Runner · White Acrylic Paint (although fabric paint might be a better choice – I used what I had on hand) · A roll of that rubbery stuff that keeps your rugs from slipping · Paint Brush and small tray · White chalk pencil or white chalk · Glue gun (I’m assuming you realize this means glue sticks too, right? · Scissors.
