Doll crafting- make mini magazines

first you will need materials such as: -tape, -some old magazines (like not catalouges, magazines as in about celebrities and stuff)   -scissors  -stapler  -cardboard

How to do it:  so take some old magazines, and cut out some small pictures, such as maybe examples of other magazines you can buy, like in the M magazines or pop star mag's. Then take the pictures and you choose, magazine, or poster. If you don't have any magazines you want to cut up, why not print the examples of magazine covers down below? :) make sure they fit the size of your doll before you print, so i'de make it wallet sized. Next, if your making it into a magazine, cut out the same size sheet of cardboard as your wallet print or smaller sized picture,
then glue or tape it to the mini-magazine cover. (optional->) then, if you'de like, you can tape come folded and cut paper to the cardboard side of the cover, and then tape or staple MORE cardboard to the back of the folded paper. Tip- make sure that everything you cut for the magazine, fits the size of the cover!

i THINK this might be goty2012!

How to make an american girl doll hamster cage.

 Ok, so materials are;  -Some hamster erasers,
 -A small clear box/container. -tape, hay, (or straw) and glue. -bottle cap

procedure; Okay, so take your small clear container or box, and fill the bottom with some liquid, or stick glue. If you want it to stick really well, i suggest a hot glue gun, but if you decide to go with that option, you may need help, as it is a HOT glue gun. moving on, sprinkle some farm hay, or straw, like on a straw hat, across the glue puddles. after you finish that, you take your water bottle cap, and glue it to a peice of cardboard, then gluing the cardboard down to the hay, if you wish, you could take a littlest pet shop water dish or something and glue it down too. Then take your hamster eraser, or whatever you chose to be a hamster, and place it down in its new home!

How to make flooring for your dolls.

                        Okay guys, so as most of my crafts are, this is quite easy. All you'll be needing is...

Materials Needed:  -A Peice of floorboard, and thats it!

Okay so i would recommend using some flooring thats lying around not being used. Dont use any flooring that however you ARE using.

Okay, so ask for permission from your parents before you take any peices of floor-board, because as i said, it may be being used for something. After they say its alright to use, lay it down in whatever doll room you wish. In my american girl doll house, i have a big box, and in every huge box is a room. and i have flooring or carpet (a rug for the carpet) layed down. So in my BIG pink and yellow box, i have my stove, fridge, washing machine, ect, then i layed down a peice of floor-board, IN the box. :) so whatever suites your doll house, lay down the flooring :)
