Dollar Tree Backdrops!

 Hey Gang!

For the last three to four years I have seen posts of the Dollar Tree backdrops.  I haven't seen them in my local stores at all until now! You can imagine how happy and surprised I was to see them in a local store! I purchased three of the four backdrops sets and I am going back to get the fourth set! 

It says they are for an 11 1/2 inch doll but I personally would like it a little taller for an 11 1/2 doll.

I purchased the office backdrop.

When setup it looks like this!

The other side is a front yard with a door.

There are stickers and a buildables.

I also purchased the bedroom backdrop.

The other side is more of the  yard  with a garden.

There are stickers and a buildables.

The final backdrop is the kitchen.

The other side is a yard with slide and a sandbox. 

Because the backdrops for the outside are all pink, it is easier to combine the outside backdrops into one large backdrops! 

The bedroom and the office.

V is in the yard!

Fences! On The Craft Table!

 Hey Gang!

One of the things that can be used in a outdoor diorama is a fence.  It can add a lot of detail and can be used to add distance in a scene. 

This fence is one I purchased from Byers' Choice LTD. It is a nice fence. 

I used it like this! See it behind the doll in this photo.

You can makes some nice fencing for a lot less than I paid for this fence. ($38.00)

One thing that makes a great fence is edging from the Dollar Tree or Dollar General!

One thing that you are looking for is scale! 

Before!

This might mean bringing your doll along for measurement..  This is a good scale if the stakes are shorten. 

After!

It looks like a wrought iron fence for a very fance location.

The same can be said for the color plastic edgilng.

Here is how I used it!

It was used in the background for the vechile scene for the Farm Show! 

I need to continue that dio!

You can also use wrapping paper or contact and printed brick paper to make a fence/wall too.

By attaching it to cardboard it can become a fence or wall like this! 

Or this! Brick print with a edge

Now, I found this fence at the thrift store! It is anothe place that you can overlook for diorama fences.

Last but not least, find some sticks and glue them together to make a fence.

That I used here.

OK, Thanks For Looking!

Quick Post!

 Hey Gang,

I wanted to show you what I got at Target that I plan to use for my dolls!

Jackets and 

You can open it with a blow dryer. It has a great hanger too. The skis can be used as decoration!

I need to get some of the glue residue off the jacket.  I used a pencil to help open the sleeves.

I would put plastic over the hands so that they don't snag the jacket when putting it on.

sweaters!

Christmas Tree

This years Snow Flake is much better than the one from a few years back!

Old snow flake sweaters!

I remove the emborder on flake for Trisha.

Animal stuffed pillows ornaments! I purchased pillows a few years back but I didn't get all the ones that I wanted and they were sold out when I can back.  I got these this year.

These Christmas ornament ball may not be 1/6 but I think I can use them!

Animals! I can never have enough deer.

My purchase from Walmart is a Santa Jacket.

On Shane!

From Dollar Tree is a African American Skating Santa.

Frugal Dolly Finds!

 Hey Gang!

So here are my new frugal dolly finds.  The reason I post these items is so that you can add them to your collect too.  So I am hopeful you are able to find them locally too!

Here is  Lielit in the new outfit!  She is Rainbow and will be officially introduces later!

It seems similar to scrubs or an Asian outfit.

The little dog is kinda cute! It might be a vet outfit too!

Mardi Gras Necklace with Sax!

Our musician Benji is showing how it is played! The scale is a little small but you can make it work.

For St. Patty's Day I found this posts!  They can be used for more that St. Patty's day!  They can be used for Halloween, Harry Potter and outdoor dioramas!

As you can see, the scale is pretty good!

Silver beads!  I don't know what I will do with this but I know that they will come in handy!

So you saw my trash cans that I used in my diorama for Home Depot!  Well I thought this red trash can could be used as a Sharps/Bio Hazard can for my Lab diorama!

Like my other cans, it is good scale!

I found these wooden pallets and have seen pallets used a lot for dioramas!

They are a little small but still good.   I think they could be made into a sofa!

Drawers are a must in many diorama! These have a nice color pattern to them. No paint required.

I got two of each and there were other colors too! I will have to go back for more.

Everything thus far was found at Dollar Tree!  So check your local Dollar Tree for them.

The are community stores that call themselves dollar store but things are often more than $1.00!  They are still worth a look because they often have things in them that you won't find anywhere else!  

That is were I found this trash can!  

The scale is good and I haven't seen anything like this anywhere else!  It was more that $1.00 but still worth it I thought!

OK, Thanks For Looking!
