A four-year-old can be very pursuasive. When she spotted a paper mache box in the shape of a house sitting on a shelf in the studio, it became all she could think about.
She would ask to take it down, and played with it so carefully. She found a perfect "dolly" in a basket of vintage items. She was intent on claiming it as her own, but I was not willing to let it go without giving it a makeover.
For the sake of tiny hands, no glass glitter was used in the making of this project. :)
Paint, paper, lace and glue. A bit of German Dresden to decorate the front. A few vintage buttons. Pom-pom fringe on the roof.
Wallpapered interior walls and a wool felt floor.
Stella deemed it finished.
But I thought it needed small battery operated candles to transform it into a nightlight for her room, giving it a whole new purpose.
She loves it. What more could I hope for?
