Food Truck Video

I really like my Littlest Pet Shop toys so I came up with an idea to make a video using some of my favorite characters. I used an app called Splice to put this video together. First, I filmed short clips on my dad's phone, then put them into the app, and then edited it in the order I wanted. It's pretty easy.

Here's the video... Enjoy!

How to Draw a Pot Of Flowers

How to Draw A Pot Of Flowers


1. Draw a straight line on the bottom of the page.  You may use a ruler if needed.



2. Next, draw a circle on top of the line. Then erase an inch or two on the top of the circle.


3. Then draw a tube on the erased part of the space that you just erased.


4. Draw a straight line that is a little bit curved to the side.  For the flower, draw a swirl a little bit above the line and draw half circles around the swirl.  The more half circles you add the thicker the flower gets.


5. Next, draw one oval at the top and one at the bottom of the line.  Draw lines in the ovals to make the vanes of the leaf.


6. Then repeat that method for more flowers.  You can add as many flowers as you like.


7. Add water details and bring the stem all the way down to the bottom of the vase.


8. Also add a marble detail by making little swirls at the bottom of the page and trace with black marker and you are done!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How To Make a Custom Small Doll Headband

Hellooooo!

In this post I will show you how to make a custom small doll headband using some things you can find around the house.

It's fun to create custom things for your dolls because you can make whatever you want. I know I can't always find the exact things I want for my dolls in stores, or sometimes they are too pricey. So, this is a great way to have fun, be creative, and customize your doll's accessories.

Here we go!

What you'll need:

     - Hot Glue Gun
     - Extra Hot Glue Sticks
     - Rubber Bands (all sizes)
     - Paper or Styrofoam Plates
     - Paper
     - Markers (any color you like)
     - Scissors



Got it all?

Step 1- Arrange what you need. Plug in the got glue gun and let it warm up for about 10 minutes. I like to use paper or Styrofoam plates as my work surface for small projects like this, but you can use whatever you like.

I forgot to put scissors in this picture, so do your best to imagine scissors in this picture. I know you can do it.

Step 2- Color at least three areas on the paper with the different color markers of your choice.


Step 3- Cut the areas of paper you colored into strips about 4 inches long and about 1/4 inch wide. Really can be any size, but they need to be long and skinny. Don't worry about making perfect strips. If they are a little wobbly, that's okay.


Step 4- Roll the paper strips into small, loose rolls and glue one end so they don't unravel. This is what will look like a flower for your headband.


Step 5- Carefully glue each flower onto a rubber band. You can choose any color and size rubber band you like. I picked a small rubber band because this headband was made for one of my Princess Pets. I picked a blue rubber band because it's my favorite color.


Step 6- Let the glue dry. You can put a cute little custom headband like this on any size doll as long as you pick the right size rubber band. Here's my finished look!


Make sure to be careful, ask for help when you need it, and most of all HAVE FUN! Make sure to give a thumbs up, comment, and share for all of your friends to see! Come back soon for more projects!

Thanks,
