Teddy Bear Christmas Tree

Merry Christmas, and this christmas tree says it all. This tree is located in Grand Indonesia shopping mall, Jakarta. There is a sign from the sponsors to guess how many teddies are in the tree.

Grocery Shadowbox

 

I made this shadowbox in just 2 hours. The bottles, half soup tin, candy jar and noodle bowl are fridge magnets. The lobster, donut, pizza and bun are erasers. The groceries' labels are cut-outs from supermarket flyers and magazines. I only used print out for the kitchen rule "Mum's kitchen".  The frame is an old clock.

Lindt Teddy Bear Chocolate

It is the end of November and Christmas is around the corner. A chocolate shop display this fabulous Lindt teddy bear. Got to get another one of these delicious chocolates...

Miniature Sofa from Plastic shampoo bottle

Making miniature sofa from plastic shampoo bottle

You can use a big shampoo bottle for sofa and small one for chair. Cut the bottom of the bottle. If hard use a small garden scissors. Don't throw the remaining half of the bottle, you may need it later. Cut and trim as in the picture below, or you can cut it any shape of sofa you like.

I covered the sponge with felt and sew the edges.

And this is the final result. I used white drinking straw for the sofa legs.

Gift Wrapping Corner

It's a Gift Wrapping Corner. But they sells teddies too. Here it is a shop in Summarecon Mall, Bekasi, in front of Food Hall Supermarket.

Frolicking in the malls

When you window shopping in malls, you can find teddy bears almost everywhere. Like pillows at Toys Kingdom

Children's watch that cost around 12 dollars...

A Window full of Teddies...

And the most unusual is this bear. It has a battery inside and you push its belly it sings Daniel Powter Bad Day as he is moving his head slowly. My son doesn't like it and I didn't buy it.

A gift from my mother on my birthday last May. She doesn't have a tag. There's a red heart on her left paw.

Fuzzy

Fuzzy is a gift from a friend from Singapore. It is a Gund Teddy No. 320115. I tied a red ribbon to make him look cuter.

Harrods Teddy Bear

A gift from my niece, Katy. It was her birthday gift but she didn't want it, saying the teddy is too dark. But he is still cute to me.

Nina Bear

One of my old Teddies. I made the dress myself, as always. This one doesn't have a tag.

Why Making dollhouse

Why Making Dollhouse

I always love dollhouse. Everything’s small, the bed, the chairs, the kitchen, all furniture are small.  I once had a dollhouse. Not a very good one but at that time I loved it very much, Blue box dollhouse (plastic dollhouse made in China).  I gave it to my cousin but she didn’t take good care of it.

But there is no shop in my country that sells dollhouse, let alone miniatures. There are quite a few craft shops that sell miniature furniture actually but they didn’t always have them in stock.  So I try making one.

You don’t have to have a dollhouse if you want to have a miniature rooms. You can always use whatever container that you can find. In my case I use a cardboard box. You can find cardboard box in a gift store. Or you can use anything that you can find in your house. Just like these pictures I found in the internet. And the furniture, you can buy cheap dollhouse furniture and repaint it to make them look like the real things. And if you can’t find any furniture that you want, you can always make them (like I do) from bits and pieces. If you want to use wood, you can use balsa wood. Just use your imagination. 

One thing that you have to remember that you have to make dollhouse and the furniture in the same scale.  It will look pretty weird if the dolls are bigger than the furniture.  So if you want to make a dollhouse, or if you just want to store your daughter’s Barbie furniture in a more presentable way, be inspired with these pictures.
