As part of the manor, I’m putting together a little pet day camp area, for the girl’s to leave their little companions when they’re out doing their jobs. Making this little pen, complete with a detachable hut and grass for any doll pet, was really fun and easy to put together. I think making these pet dwellings has become my favorite piece in each room!
Materials:
Cardboard
Printouts of a woven basket design
Glue
Scissors and/or craft knife
Bottle top
1)Cut and paste your grass printout to the square footage you want for your pen onto cardboard (mine was 10cm x 10cm). The thicker the cardboard the better!
2)Measure out the outline of the grass flooring of the pen for the fencing-they can be individual pieces for each side, or one long together . I made mine 10cm x 2.5cm. When the cardboard is cut, paste in onto the basket printout on one side, then fold it and paste on the other side before cutting it all out.
3) Paste the fence border upright around the grass square.
4) For the detachable hut, cut out a long card piece to curve for the hut roofing. Draw the outline of it’s curve onto another piece of card, being sure to keep its width within the borders of the grass square.
5) Cover the back and the roofing of the hut in the basket printout, then paste the two pieces together.
6) Using scrap cardboard, cut out stripes for straw, and use a bottle top for a water bowl. Put all together and introduce your pet to its new home!
