The cardboard doll house kitchen needed some dishware, but how do you make cardboard dishes?
You don’t, these are made from paper. I used a used envelope to make these plates and mugs. The plates were made by cutting two circles from paper and gluing them together. I folded up the edges little by little and coated them with Mod Podge. Then came the paint and more Mod Podge. For the mugs, I rolled strips of paper in little tubes for the cup shape. I glued them leaving a little bit of the end of the strips loose, that part was cut in the shape of the handle. I glued them to another piece of paper that I cut into a round shape for the base. Multiple layers of paint and Mod Podge later, and they are surprisingly durable mugs with matching plates. I chose to paint them pink on a whim. They kind of remind me of some plastic toy dishes I used to have when I was little. I don’t know what happened to those. Oh well.
While I was at it with the dishes, I whipped up a little vase for the doll house too. I twisted paper to make the top of the vase and used two different beads for the bottom part. I painted it pink to match the dishes and coated it with Mod Podge. It will really brighten up the little kitchen, if it doesn’t totally clash with the other pieces. I can always repaint them if that happens.
Here’s the updated list:
