Doll Craft #6 - Make your Doll Some Lemonade!

Hey Girlies! I don't know about you, but things are starting to get pretty warm - for both me and my dollies. Kit has especially been complaining about not having something cool to drink. I was getting tired of the whining, and finally gave in! Now YOU can stop the complaining of your doll too and make her a nice cold glass of lemonade!

This craft can be kind of messy if you aren't careful, so I would suggest putting down some old magazines or newspapers first. You will need:
  • Yellow acrylic or washable paint (a lot)
  • Yellow craft foam
  • Clear plastic baggie or about 5 clear beads
  • Straw
  • Small plastic cup OR cap
  • Pen
  • Scissors

If you are using the clear beads, you can skip this step! Otherwise... take your clear plastic baggie and rip off a small piece.

Crumple it up, as seen in the pic above. Repeat this about seven or eight more times. Then, set aside.

Now it is time for your paint!

Fill up the cup to about here.

Great! Now add in the "ice" If you are using the baggie, make sure to save some and add them in while the paint is drying, just in case these sink :(

Next, take your straw and measure it against the cup. When you cut it, it should be slightly taller than the cup.

Place the straw in at an angle. Try not to push any ice cubes down into the bottom!

Finally, trace the tip of your thumb onto the piece of craft foam. Cut it about halfway up the middle.

Slide the opening onto the rim of the cup for the lemon and you are done! Just let it dry COMPLETELY before serving your doll :) I assure you, Kit is now satisfied with her drink, and I hope that your doll is too! Enjoy!
