Fun Hairstyles

Hello, girls! Last night my friend and I had a sleepover, and we did pure dolls' hair. My friend has #27 (Leanna), #25 (Alison) and Rebecca. I brought Kanani and Liz over to her house. Look below for a picture! Sorry this was so short, I don't have a computer here, only the Blogger app on my tablet.

Cute Cowgirl Kanani: A Photoshoot

Craft: Lunchbox

Hello everyone! Today I'm going to teach you how to make a really simple lunch box for your dolls from items that you may have around your house.

Let's get started!

You will need:

Duct tape

Scissors

A tin (like Altoids, or Chap Stick as I have here)

1. Cut a piece of Duct tape long enough to fit over the top of your container. Be sure it can cover the sides, too.

2. Cover the top with your piece, and the extra hanging off the end you can stick inside.

3. Be sure to cover the sides on the top, too.

4. It should look like this. 

5. Now, cut another piece that is the same size as the first one. Again. make sure that is a little longer than the tin.

6. Cover the remaining top part. It's okay to overlap the pieces.

7. The opening should look like this, covered.

8. Now for the bottom. Cut the duct tape, again. 

9. Cover it, but don't cover the part that the top goes over.

10. Cut another piece and cover the rest of the bottom that is not covered. Once again, overlap them.

11. Now, cut a piece of duct tape that is 3 inches long.

12. Cut it in half.

13. Set 1 half aside and fold the remaining one in half.

14. Get the piece you set aside and cut it in half.

15. Tape the folded piece of duct tape to the part of the tin where the hinge is.

16. Viola! You're done!

Now you can put some food in your doll's new lunchbox and send her off to school! ;)

Hope you enjoyed this craft and that you can make it! If you do, send me a picture at marisasamericangirls@gmail.com. Thanks! Have fun!

Which Doll?

So, as y'all may know, I am saving up for a doll to be purchased later this year. Originally I was going to get Isabelle, but I have been having second thoughts... So I need y'all's opinions! I have some other dolls on my list, so here goes...

1. Caroline- I have been warming up to Caroline ever since she came out. I really love her curls and her eyes are just so beautiful... but the only problem is her curls. Most of my dolls have curly/wavy hair (of course, not that curly). But, I think that she would be a really great addition to my collection, and I would like to have a historical.

2. MAG #40- As a few of you may know, I LOVE anime (Japanese animations) and manga (Japanese comics), so I am a Japanese freak. ;) This doll is Asian (duh) so I could make her Japanese... Which I think would be really cool- she could watch anime, read manga, make and eat sushi... and I could get her some kimonos! :D The problem is... she has dark hair. All of my dolls have brown hair, soooooo.... yeah. 

3. Isabelle- Yep, she's still on my list. I love her, but her hazel eyes...no more hazel eyes in this doll family! And... the price. $10 more is a lot for just a hair extension, which I already have ones for Liz and Kanani. She's definitely not the highest on my list.

4. Felicity- Yes, I know she is retired, but I've always had a thing for miss Felicity. I love the colonial time period, and Felicity's collection is really cute (especially her fancy blue dress, absolutely love that). I would probably get her off Ebay, unless she is the doll that AG is un-archiving...

5. Elizabeth- I like Elizabeth, too. Not as much as Felicity, but she is a very pretty doll. I LOVE her meet outfit, too. I like her for the same reasons as Felicity... and I love both of their pin curls. :) I would also get her from Ebay.

That's pretty much all the dolls I would like to choose from, so, as I said before, I really need some help choosing. Tell me which doll you think I should get! Thanks!

MDT: Kit!

I normally do these in the order that they are requested, but it was requested quite a few times so I decided to do her!

Personally, I think Kit is ADORABLE. I would get her, but since my sister has her already... At least I get to use her sometimes. :) I really love her meet outfit, it is very stylish and works great for modern clothes. Kit has very bright aqua eyes, they really stand out against her skin and hair... and the little sprinkle of freckles across her nose is very cute. And Kit's little bob... it's what she's famous for, and why everyone loves her. ;)

This dress is pretty cute. I really love the design on it, but I think all her dresses are somewhat alike in style... Ah, well! They're all cute! And the touch of red in this dress is very nice. :)

Very cute! I love this dress, and it's only $24! What a great price! May have to get this for my dolls or my sister's Kit... :D

THIS. IS. MY. FAVORITE. DRESS. IN. KIT'S. COLLECTION. 

Eh... this is okay... it is cute, I must say... but it isn't really something Kit would wear, she didn't like ruffles and pink, sooooooo....

Yes! And this is adollable too! I would absolutely love to have this, it would be great for travelling! :D The colors are very pretty, and I like the style. The scarf is a very nice accessory. :)

AHHHHH! So cute! This is just... too cute for words. Let's just say we all love this. Am I right, or am I right? (The headband....oooooooooh....)

Grace is so cuuuuuuuuute! An adorable little puppy... just the right size for a dolly.

My sister has this set! I really like it, but there's not much "play value" in it for younger kids. It is great for making stopmotions, though, but I have yet to make one with it.

This scooter is very cute! I love the little place for Grace (hey it rhymes!), but I think that it shouldn't have Kit and Grace's names on it, because what if someone wants to get this and they don't have Kit? What then?!

Well, that's it for this MDT! Hope you liked it! Yes, I realize I did not do all of Kit's collection, but I was shot on time and MDTs don't need to have the whole collection. 

Bye for now!
