Calico Critter/Little Woodzeez's Furniture
I recently made some furniture as a gift, and thought I should show how they came out.
These would fit Little Woodzeez's a little better than Calico Critters, as I made the furniture a little bigger than I would for Calico Critters. Little Woodzeez's are bigger, defiantly rounder, than Calico Critter's and need more room so they don't fall off.
My first project was dining room chairs, which I had posted here.
This is the makings of a kitchen cupboard.
I started with two vitamin boxes, cut in half and hot glued together.
Then I began to cover them with fabric.
Hot gluing it in place.
Next I made the doors, gluing on fabric as hinges.
Then created a latch so they'd stay shut.
Here is Mrs. Owl getting dishes out of her cupboard.
These dishes I found at the dollar store.
The boxed food I found through Pinterest, and printed them off to make.
Next I made a piano, starting with a wide flat stick and a sharpie.
I covered another vitamin box with fabric...
... and hot glued on my keyboard and other wood to make the piano.
I made a different piano for my daughter, here.
Next up was some kitchen furnishings. I started with two soap boxes, a plastic 'sink' from some time we ate out, and paper stove top and oven.
With my craft knife, I cut out a hole for the sink.
Then covered in fabric, and added touches, including some clear sticky plastic shelf liner. I sealed it down around the edges with the tip of my hot glue gun so it should never come off. This gave a nice smooth counter top.
The stove was started the same, cover in fabric...
...a little glue to hold the paper in place...
... Then cover in sticky plastic, and seal around the edges.
They're maybe not the best looking kitchen set, but hey... I made them!
I missed taking pictures of how I made the table, so I will have to post that another time.
I printed off miniature music sheet for the piano.
For how I make furniture, go here.
Craft blocks and chest from the dollar store become a toy chest.
And I made matching pillows and blankets for all the beds...
For how I made the closet, go here.
And you can turn paper clips into hangers.
Knitted a small blanket for the baby owls.
And the crib I made like I would any child critter bed, but with craft sticks on the sides.
Tiny bird house from the dollar store becomes a play house for the babies.
I hope a special little girls has many years of fun with this.
And that's it for now!
Happy Crafting!
