The Walls are Covered

Most rooms aren’t complete without a something for the walls, that includes doll house rooms.

These are simply pictures cut out from various magazines and glued onto cardboard from a notepad, then Mod Podge was applied to seal them.  The two smaller ones were made to stand on their own, perfect for side tables and dressers.  I love the cut little Cat Women poster, I wonder if it will match the decor?  Actually I haven’t yet decided which ones will be used for the little bedroom, I could always save some for the other rooms or for current ones.  I think the heart clock would look cute in the bathroom.  I will have to decide on that later.  For now, I can enjoy how cute they all are.
Here’s the updated list:

• hangers
• bed
• mirror
• dresser
• skirt
• pocket
• lamp
• night stand
• wardrobe
• rug
• framed art
• curtains

Eleven down, just one more to go.  Going right on schedule.

Cardboard Decor

A while back I notice how bare some of my walls looked and thought I could use something to cover them.  The idea of making picture frames out of cardboard then popped into my head.

Fast forward, here’s my first attempt at it. 

I carefully cut and glued together multiple layers of corrugated cardboard to form the frame, then painted it with blue acrylic paint and applied a sealant to make it look finished.  I carved a little slot in the back to use to hang it on the wall. 

Of course a frame isn’t complete with out something to frame, right?  I got the idea for a silhouette with glitter from this tutorial on Naughty Secretary Club.  I made it on this cute piece of scrapbook paper and outlined the butterfly with fabric paint.  Simply done and it really makes a statement.  Does it send the right message though?

Here’s the updated list:

• Pillow
• card bracelet
• charm necklace
• netbook sleeve
• doll swimsuit
• bum bag
• sleep mask
• picture frames
• dress

Eight down, just one more to go.  And it looks like I’m going to finish earlier than I planned, that’s always a plus.
