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

What kind of glue or tape are you using to keep it stable?

@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.โค๏ธ

@WorkingitThrough2

I hope you have silicone fingertip protectors? Not only do they help prevent burns they make working with hot glue so much easier! I like how I can then press the hot glue into the space I want/flatten it etc., and once the hot glue cools a bit it won't stick to the silicone at all. I can also use them to remove some 'excess' glue.

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 flooring๐Ÿ˜‚

@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 it๐Ÿ˜Š
