Critter Swing!
I don't remember much about my great grandma... but one thing I do remember well, was the doll house in an orange box that she had made, and all the little furniture she had made to go in it... all of which was made from things around the house, such as bottles.
Here is a swing made for Calico Critters... from a bottle.
I'm working on someone's birthday gift, so shhh! :)
I took an old vitamin bottle and cut the bottom off, about an inch deep.
I then cut some holes in either side, and strung a ribbon through. (String would work too). The cushion I made by tracing the outside of the bottle on some fabric, and then sewed it up with some cotton balls inside.
Nice added touch was hot gluing some ribbon around the outside and putting a bow in the front. And there you have it!
The ribbon across the middle, holds the critter in place.
Happy Crafting!
