Basket Pet Bed

I’ve been making up beds for all the pets of the Manor, after watching loads of videos of My Froggy Stuff’s pet stuff. They're so easy to make and such fun! I’ve already made up two dog beds but for my next one, I wanted something new and fresh, so I made this ‘basket‘ version of the bed. 

Materials:

1 half of a small cardboard box (I used old jewelry boxes)

Scrap fabric

Printout of a woven basket design

Stuffing

Glue

Scissors

Sewing materials

1) Cut out a small square in the middle of one side of the box

2) Cover the box sides (outside and inside) with the basket printout.

3) Using the scrap fabric and stuffing, make a small pillow the shape of the bottom of the box. When done, put inside the box for your doll pet.

Doll Crafts: How to Make A Wall Mirror

I’ve had these plastic bangles for a while, and thought the pearl like texture would make a great doll sized mirror frame. It’s super easy and fast to make, and any bangle that isn’t too wide would be great!

Materials:

Round bangle

Tinfoil/ reflective scrap booking paper

Cardboard

Pencil

Scissors

All purpose glue

1) Trace the outline of the bangle onto the piece of cardboard and cut out

2) Cover the cardboard circle with tinfoil/ reflective scrap booking paper

3) Glue the bangle onto the reflective side of the cardboard around the edge

Reason for Coming to Earth: To follow her mother but also to get away from her royal lifestyle

The natural gothic beauty of the Underworld, Klara is the royal heir to the Underworld dynasty. Brought up in a pretty restricted childhood, from being surrounded by guardians of the underworld, advisors and even ghosts, Klara couldn’t wait to follow her mother on her eight month departure to walk the surface world, along with her pet hamster Viola. Now she is desperately trying to hide her Princess title and just be a regular girl for once in her world. With her mother currently residing in the mortal realm, Klara gets annoyed when she tries to interfere with her new life, but remains proud of her haunting heritage...

Klara tends to be a bit of a loner, since her phantom like presence sends to unnerve people. Especially times when her natural affinity for spirits, seeing ghosts where other people see nothing. But she is keen to learn just as much about the living as she knows of the dead. Being born in the spirit world, Klara has the ability to ‘go phantom’, making her corporeal form phase through solid objects, though she doesn’t completely have control over this in the mortal realm...causing a few mishaps like falling through the floors of the manor.

In the mortal world, Klara works in the vintage boutique Hidden Treasures. She loves sourcing preowned item and passing them on to people who will appreciate its history. Her nature knack for vintage fashion, thanks to being surrounded by the ghosts of some of the greatest designers, makes her the perfect spokesmen for the store. But nights she often spends finding poltergeists and sending them to the Underworld where they belong.
