DIY Mini pumpkins for Halloween

We might be in the middle of our LPS Christmas crafting but we haven't forgotten Halloween! How could we?
Halloween is so much fun; dress ups and lollies! Plus the chance to walk the streets and knock on doors!
We love it!
And so do LPS! SO we've started with them; a cute mini pumpkin patch, for their cute mini world. No clay required because it seems it would be just too easy and too... "blah".
We've used bottle caps instead; the best part is that you can light them up with a small LED light.

They are fun and easy to make. The kids will love making them all by themselves.

Here's the  full tutorial:

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

DIY mini Fairy Lights for our DIY mini Christmas tree

As promised, here is the full tutorial to make our simple and very cute Fairy Lights Garland to dress our tree.
Enjoy!

See you soon for some more LPS craft fun!

It's the little things: DIY doll accessories and the birth of LPSCraftandMore channel.

A while ago, we retrieved from the attic an old box full of LPS. Littlest Pet Shop: little plastic animals with a bobble head which I think were very popular around 2009. Mia fell in love with them all over again. Little did we know  that those are now retired from the shelves and have become collectibles. (There is a new generation but Hasbro completely missed the mark and nobody is keen of them: they  have no charm whatsoever.)
We've also discovered a little community out there, on the Youtube planet, completely dedicated to the bobble heads; mini movies, customisation and lots of DIY accessories. 

And that's the part I got hooked on. Dollhouses and miniature furniture:  always had a big love for them but never made my own. Well, let me tell you, it is so much fun! Possibilities are endless!
Now, I am not a "purist"  in the sense of making mini replicas. I still like the furniture to look like toys and not a mini version of adults' world.

We use cardboard and recycled packaging, foam paper, matchboxes, felt, beads, straws, popsicles sticks AND lots of glue!

We made an LPS Beauty Salon:

and our very first video:

LPSCraftandMore Channel

There are plenty of talented Craft Masters out there but our favourite is the PipeCleanerCraftsb. We simply love her and all the coll stuff she makes. This Beauty salon was inspired by one of her post but we did add our own ideas and little twists here and there. You can check hers here.

We made a Bathroom:

and a vanity:

 and lots of fun accessories:

Since then we have not stopped! We've made an Ice Cream Trailer, a Catwalk Podium (you can check the LPS Fashion Show video here.)beds and sofas...and more!

Some tutorials are on their way, so keep an eye out for them; they're coming out shortly. Plus a Christmas Special; It's going to be awesome!

DIY Gift Tags

I have been wanting to do this for a while now and today's rainy weather has been the perfect occasion: DIY gift tags.It's quick and fun to do. I have a big collection of Little Golden Books that I have pick up in op shops and garage sales. The illustrations are gorgeous. They are not always in good condition which makes them perfect for craft projects. (I find it difficult to cut books that are in good shape.

I simply cut two rectangle shapes for each tag; one with the chosen illustration, one in a recycled brown paper bag. I zigzag stitched the two layers, sandwiching in the middle an office tag. If you have a punch hole, you probably don't need to do this. I had these tags sitting in my drawers so I decided to use them. It gives a "luggage" tag effect which I like.

They could make a fun garland too...or be hung in the tree...
