left click on image> right click> open image in new tab> right click>print


Here are the typed instructions for this craft:

To make the deluxe nachos, you will need:
craft foam
aluminum foil
puffy paint
hot glue & glue gun (to glue nachos in place)
elmer's glue (to glue dressings in place)

To make the nachos container, you will need:
Scissors
thin, recycled cardboard
Tape or glue
Straight-edged object (ruler)
Size-guide printable (optional)

DELUXE NACHOS BOX
For the nachos box, start by printing out the size-guide print-able (shown below). Cut it out, and trace the shape on to thin, recycled cardboard.

Cover the patterned side of the shape with aluminium foil. Then, score where you are going to fold. Next, fold and glue together with hot glue. You may need to hold the folds together until the glue dries.
Now you are done! On to the Nachos!!!

NACHOS

After making the box,  I made the deluxe nachos. First, take your yellow craft foam and cut it into a circle. (if not already) Then, cut each circle into quarters.
Next, take orange craft foam and cut it into little rectangles to be cheese. Cut up tiny squares of red craft foam to be tomatoes. Cut circles of black craft foam and poke a hole in the center for black olives. Do the same with green craft foam for jalapenos.
Glue the nachos in the box with hot glue. Be very careful when using hot glue!

Then, glue all the little pieces with elmer's glue. Seal the entire thing with elmer's glue.
When dry, add a "dollip" of white puffy paint for sour cream. That's it for the deluxe nachos!

AG Working crayons

This is the video instruction that I've posted on YouTube:



Here are the typed instructions for this video:

To make the crayons, you will need:
Crayons
Ruler
Scissors

CRAYONS
First, take your crayons, and cut them down to about 1 1/2 inches. Then, take your scissors and, the best way I can describe it is scoring the wrapper around the crayon. Be sure to score it at 
1 1/4 inches. Also, be very careful when doing this!

Next, peel off the smaller part of the wrapper that you just scored. Now it should look like a real crayon. :)

That's it for this craft!

DIY-Sour patch kids for your 18" doll

This is the video instruction:



Here are the fantastic printables for this craft:
To print them, you'll need to
left click on image> right click> open image in new tab> right click>print


Here are the typed instructions for this video:

To make the sour patch kids candy, you will need:
Air-dry clay
Paint
White, clear, or colored fine glitter
Mod Podge
Printable (to check size)

To make the sour patch kids box, you will need:
Scissors
Printable
Tape or glue
Straight-edged object (ruler)
Mod Podge (optional)

To make the sour patch kids bag, you will need:
Scissors
Printable
Tape or glue
Straight-edged object (ruler)
Mod podge (optional)

SOUR PATCH KIDS CANDY
To start, I made the candy. First, take your printable size guide, (shown below) and cut out the center. Then, take your air-dry clay and shape it into a small circle; roll it out into a thin rectangle. Put your size-guide on top and cut out the clay carefully. Make many of these and let them air-dry until hard.


 Then, paint the clay so they can be colorful like the real ones. I kept them the same colors that the real candies are, which is green, yellow, orange, red and blue for the newer packages.

Before the paint dries, cover it in the corresponding color of the paint, white, or clear glitter to act as the sour sugar. Once the doll-sized candies are coated in glitter, paint them with a couple layers of glossy Mod Podge to keep the glitter in place.

That's it for the candies!


SOUR PATCH KIDS BOX

To make a box to put your doll's candies in, print out the box printable that I've made. (example shown below)

Next, Mod Podge it on the page. (for extra sturdiness, which is recommended, you can glue the back of the printable to card stock and cover the front with packaging tape before folding) When dry, cut it out; and cut slits along the short green lines.

Then, score on all of the lines around the label. (dotted lines are shown where scoring is needed in image above ONLY) If you're wondering what scoring is, it's lightly cutting through the paper, but not all the way, so it makes folds easier.

 After scoring, fold the box into a box shape. Glue on all the side tabs to put it together. There you have a box for your doll's sour patch kids!

SOUR PATCH KIDS BAG

If your dolls want to share some sour patch kids, then you will need to make the bag for them! First, print out the printable (example image shown below) and paint a coat of mod podge over it. (for extra sturdiness, which is reccommended, you can glue the back of the printable to card stock and cover the front with packaging tape before folding)
Cut it out, and score along red dotted line, as shown in example picture above. Glue along side edges and fold in half. Press together and now you have a bag that your dolls can put their sour patch kids in! Fill it up with the sour, yummy treats and you're done!!! (for extra sturdiness, which is reccommended, you can glue the back of the printable to card stock and cover the front with packaging tape before folding)

AG Fig Bars

This is the video that is posted on my YouTube account, Grayt Videos, on how to make fig bars for your 18" doll.




Below you can print the printables I made for this craft.
Click on the image->right click->open image in new tab->print



(You might notice that the raspberry printables have changed, I have put a better version on instead that I didn't have during this video.)

Here are the typed instructions for this craft as well:

The things you will need to make the fig bars are:
A pen or pencil
a ruler
scissors
Printables
Foamboard (3/16")
Brown construction paper
Glue stick
Craft paint or a marker
Chalk pastels (optional)


The things you will need to make the fig bar box are:
Thin, recycled cardboard (I used an actual fig bar box)
glue
A ruler
A pen or pencil
scissors or an x-acto knife(be careful when using!!!)

FIG BARS IN WRAPPER
The first thing I did is make the fig bars inside the wrapper. To start, cut your foam board into small rectangles. (about 1 1/2 by 3/4 cm)

 Then, take your wrapper printable and cut it out and turn the design face-down. Fold into thirds, and glue the entire paper. Place the foamboard in the center, fold over one side, and fold over  We don't need to decorate these because we won't be seeing them.

 Then, glue your first side of paper and glue it to the foam board, and repeat with the second side. Glue inbetween the end of the wrapper to seal it. Now you're done with those!

FIG BARS WITHOUT WRAPPER
To make the bars that are out of the packaging, take your foamboard, wrap and glue the long side all the way around with brown construction paper. 

Next, paint or color the corresponding color of the bar on the exposed foam board. If you want to, you can gently brush some brown chalk pastels onto the paper to make it look more detailed. Let dry and you're finished!

FIG BAR BOX
To make the fig bar box, open up your box carefully and sketch the shape of the box onto the cardboard. I measured the real box in inches and used the same measurements in centimeters. Just make sure to get all the tabs!

 Cut it out and cut between each tab carefully. Then, score lightly and fold the box. You should have something that looks like a box when folded. Glue the bottom and side tabs together and now your dolls have a box to put their fig bars in. 

If you want, you can cut out the mini side label and glue that on to the box as well. If you don't have a label from a box, then you can use one of the wrapper printables and glue that on also.

EXTRA

Also, if you have a patterned picture on the box that you don't want to see, you can glue on construction paper over top so it looks better.


That's it! Thanks for looking at this! Make sure to check out my video in this post or on YouTube for a more detailed instruction. 😃

AG Cheese crackers

This is the video instruction that I've posted on YouTube:



Here are the fantastic printables for this craft:
To print them, you'll need to
left click on image> right click> open image in new tab> right click>print







Here are the typed instructions for this video:

To make the cheese crackers, you will need:
Air-dry clay
toothpick
Paint or chalk pastels
Mod Podge
Size-guide printable (optional)
Large cap (for a bowl)

To make the cheese crackers box, you will need:
Scissors
Printable
Tape or glue
Straight-edged object (ruler)
Mod Podge, card stock, and packaging tape (optional)

CHEESE CRACKERS

To start, I made the crackers. First take your air-dry clay and shape it into a small square; take your toothpick and "crimp" the edges. Also, poke a hole in the center. Optionally, put your cracker on your size-guide (shown below) and make any needed adjustments. Make many of these and let them air-dry until hard.


 Then, paint the clay or dust them with chalk pastels so they can be colorful like the real cheez-it's. Seal the cracker with Mod Podge and let dry. That's it for the crackers!

CHEESE CRACKERS BOX

To make a box to put your doll's crackers in, print out the box printable that I've made. (shown below)


Next, Mod Podge the printable on the page. (for extra sturdiness, which is highly recommended, you can glue the back of the printable to card stock and cover the front with packaging tape before folding) When dry, cut it out.

Then, score on all of the lines around the label. If you're wondering what scoring is, it's lightly cutting through the paper, but not all the way, so it makes folds easier and more accurate.

 After scoring, fold the box into a box shape. Glue or tape all the bottom and side tabs to put it together. There you have a box for your doll's cheesy crackers! For added detail, you can get a mini ziploc bag and put the cheese crackers in before putting them in the box.
