Doll Food Craft: How To Make Chicken Nuggets & French Fries!

Is your doll hungry for a mini meal? Today we're making chicken nuggets and french fries! These are so easy and turn out great. Let's get cooking...

The ingredients you need are:

• Tan Felt
• Yellow Felt
• Red Felt
• Scissors
• Hot Glue Gun 
• Poly-Fil
• Ruler

How to make the chicken nuggets:

1. First cut out two oval shapes 1 inch and half long and an inch wide. 2. Put a small amount of glue around the edge of one oval and press the other on top of the glue. 3. Continue gluing until you have a small opening at the top. 4. Stuff with some poly-fil (a cotton ball would work too!). 5. Seal the top with more glue. If there is any glue or poly-fil sticking out, just give it a trim with the scissors. 6. And, you're done!! :)

Next comes the french fries:

1. Cut two small rectangle shapes 1 inch and half long and a half inch wide. 2 &3. Glue both rectangles together to form the fry. 4. Make a bunch of them!

And, you'll need a box to put the fries in:

1. Cut out two rectangle shapes 1 inch and half long and wide. 2. Snip the top of one of the rectangles, making a U shape. 3. Glue down the three edges, leaving the top open. 4. Put the crispy fries inside of the pouch.

Now your doll can dig into her yummy food!!

Doll Hairstyle: Triple Braided Half-Up Hairstyle!

There are so many ways to style braids for Spring! Here's one that is easy to do and a bit 1970s inspired--Triple Braided Half-Up hairstyle. Let's get started...

1. First take a small section of hair from the top of your doll's head and begin braiding down. Use a hairclip to hold the hair in place, or someone else can hold it for you. Braid the other side. 2. Bring both braids together and secure with a hair tie. 3. Take another section below the braid. Begin braiding both sides again. 4. Bring both braids together into the ponytail and secure. 5. Do this for a third time. 6. Finally add an accessory, like a bow. And, you're done!!

Julie is looking totally groovy with her new hairstyle!

I love it when her hair is pulled away from her face, her brown eyes are so pretty. :)
