This is a picture of the doll house I am making from old boxes. I find this very therapeutic.

@MistyMagic

Thank you, Misty. I am using a combination of Hot glue and Scotts spray-on adhesive to glue the boxes down. Then, I put a cardboard ribbing around it to support it. In some of the tricky areas, I use masking tape so I can paint over it. The Spray adhesive is good for the wallpaper.❤️

Misty, with lots of burned fingertips and a bunch of Prayers 😂. No kidding, it is a work of art to keep putting in all the nooks and crannies and then to take and a razor knife and cut off any overflow.😊

Thanks, this is my first attempt using cardboard boxes. I have used styrofome boxes made like ice chests to make a doll house and drinking straws for the flooring😂

@WorkingitThrough2

These Diaper cakes make great gifts. This gift included:

Socks. bibs, wash clothes. shoes, bottles, diaper wipes, but paste, fingernail clippers, receiving blankets tee shirts, and two outfits.

Instructions: one box of diapers, roll them the long way and put a piece of tape to hold it. together. Get a large round container such as a big round pot or bowl. Begin to lay the diapers all along the bowel until you have packed as many as you can inside, get three large rubber bands and place them around all the diapers. You will need a round piece of cardboard and a paper towel roll place the diapers in the center of the cardboard and insert the paper towel roll in the center of the diapers

now begin to add your baby items as you chose, secured by the rubber bands. That it it😊
