Hey Guys!

Today we are going to create our very own doll vanity and make-up. And just to get this out of the way, this post doesn't explain how to make a chair because i already made a post on how to make a doll chair. So w/o further adieu, the vanity and make-up :-)
You will need:
1. Box w/a wide base.
2. extra cardboard
3. small mirror or mirror paper (or if you hate spending money on extra stuff, like me, you can just use aluminum foil)
4. aluminum foil
5. optional: small decorative rocks or gems
6. Craft paint-black, skin color, and any colors of your choice. (you will need 6 colors)
7. beads
8. hot glue gun and sticks

DIY- Doll Make-up
Um, okay, so this is the make-up. I chose to do my three favorite cosmetics: Lipstick, eyeshadow, and blush.
Lipstick
I made this lipstick basicly by gluing one bead in another. The green beads you see originally twisted into each other, but i cut the twister part off to glue the other bead in. BTW: you can find twister beads in some kinds of necklaces.
Eye shadow
To make this eye shadow pallet, i simply took some aluminium foil and folded it accordion style. Here's a tip: try to make it as compact as you can. Fold in half. Now you can paint it. On the top panel, i painted a black frame around a little part of foil to look like a mirror. Then i painted three colors on the bottom to be the eye shadow. :-)
Blush
To make this cute, little blush, I simply glued to decorative rocks together, a painted my doll's skin tone in the middle of the bottom rock.
Doll vanity
This doll vanity is really easy to make. The first things you need are two boxes (one w/a ride base) Cut the second box in a semi-circle.
Build up your box, and begin cutting your box like the one below.
Now glue your semi-circle to the back of your box.

Paint your box w/multiple coats of paint and attach your mirror. And to decorate my mirror I glued decorative rocks and a pipe cleaner dragon fly (you'll soon learn i love dragon flies) :-)
Add your make-up and your dolls are ready for a make over!
