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.
A bit too early for Christmas trees? Yes...and no. Yes, because we haven't even gone through Halloween yet, and no, if you are intending to make animation movies and you need to get your props ready!
So for all the producers, directors and voice over actors, here's an early, easy project for your big Christmas production!
Whether a glorious green,
or a snowy white,
with or without a string of lights,
these little trees are just too cute to miss out!

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!
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!
