Samantha LOVES the ART STUDIO!!!! |
I cut out all the art images and posters that you see on the wall from the DAVIS arts catalog (davisart.com). I am an art teacher, so I receive this catalog a few times a year. The poster images were the perfect size for the dolls to learn from! On the table you can see the mini-canvases that my girls had fun painting, and the art supplies we from our Saige Slumber Party.
We made some little art books by cutting the image of a book cover from same catalog, gluing it onto a small piece of black foam core, then covering the binding edge with another strip of colored paper cut from the catalog. The foam is white and looks like the pages of a book-these look like perfect little books!
I love when we find small things we can use for our dolls! Gracie spotted this tiny ceramic vase at the local thrift store for a quarter! We made the little pencil out of a toothpick.

We hung a banner of little flags with sticker letters for a little extra fun. A second string with a few mini-clothes pins works perfect to hang our artwork!
We used the "Best of Show" ribbon from the Coconut Pet Set (which she found at the American Girl Outlet) that Zoey gave to Gracie. This ribbon clips on the dog's collar but slides perfectly on the art work too! I love when the girls use their imagination to use American Girl items in a new way! This is definitely Gracie's new favorite AMERICAN GIRL DOLL PLAY space! This post was originally posted by Amanda here.
Samantha loves to make art, her easel (see directions here) works nicely in this space too....next on our list is to make a paint smock for her to wear while working! Something a little more artsy- but we think Ivy's hat is perfect! We would love to see what you've been inspired to create for your American Girls- share your doll photos on our facebook page or email them to us! This post was originally posted by Amanda here. |
This is absolutely fabulous! Thank you for sharing...We made our art studio today, and will add more to it soon...
ReplyDeletehow cool!
ReplyDeleteThat is so cute!!!! I have a question. Does anyone know whether a tri fold board would work as a wall, or would it be to narrow?
