    If you save your little pieces of plastic leaves they could be spinach in a salad.

    One thing I love to do is to look for dollar store doll clothes I like the shape of, because it's super easy to seam rip them apart and reverse engineer them into a pattern! I also like to experiment with dyes and paints or other alterations. They're great for practicing my sewing and crafting skills.
    And if I end up damaging the clothes, it's not a big deal because they were cheap! 😂

      That's a great idea and tip! My sewing skills are scary, but I do love dressing up Barbie for the videos :)

      Really? Are you in the US? Always thought your Dollar Trees were better stocked.

    Can't wait. Dollar tree is my favorite spot for Dollhouse supplies. I go just about every weekend hoping for new stuff. 😊

      Thank you. My teen son chose the name and thumbnail. I loved the video. We live in NYC and your location has to be the neatest and well organized Dollar Tree I've ever seen. 😄. I'm actually heading to my location today. My 5yr old also loves that store, my husband may have had enough, lol.
      Can't wait for more of your content. 🤗

      Love the thumbnail and name :) thank you so much :) i always thought the dollar trees were so much better in the US, that's why I always went to dollarama, the dollar tree is a bit further out for me, but definitely worth the drive :) lol ... thank you so much :) i may do another dollar tree trip, but first i need to go through my stash at home, see what i need for future dioramas and dollhouse makeovers :)

    Wow! I'm both impressed and envious. 🤩😖 I have yet to visit a Dollar Tree with such abundance here in Maryland!

    • @GingerLolaMiniatures
      @GingerLolaMiniatures  7 місяців тому

      Really? I always thought the US Dollar Tree was so much better? Maybe because we don't have that many here?

    ❤😊love it when you go shopping. Great finds😊Do both rooms please ❤😊there was a set of little car bookends I think that would make a cute bed for a little boys room😊

    • @GingerLolaMiniatures
      @GingerLolaMiniatures  9 місяців тому

      Thank you so much :) There is another Dollar Tree about 30min away and I think its bigger, not sure if that makes it better, or just more of the same.... :) maybe i'll do another trip...but first i need to go through my stash, so i buy exactly what i need :)
      both? maybe I will, I can probably use the same background if I keep it neutral :)
      thanks so much for watching and commenting :)

    I wish we had a Dollarama here in Florida. And our Dollar Tree does not have a huge craft section like yours. I was watching and thinking it was probably a good thing it’s not that big 😁

    • @GingerLolaMiniatures
      @GingerLolaMiniatures  9 місяців тому

      Really? I always thought the US Dollar Tree was bigger and better... oh... the craft selection did impress me, definitely visiting dollar tree before dollarama, wish it was closer, i have about 4 dollaramas about 5 minutes away, the dollar trees are over 20 min. :)

    Awesome video!!❣️❣️❣️ Thank you!!❣️Your videos are always so interesting too!!❣️❣️❣️I find it so interesting to see what the different Dollar Tree's carry in different locations. We don't have a Dollarama here. The Goodwill here, I fid, is often a hit or miss. I love the flowers you purchased.❣️

    • @GingerLolaMiniatures
      @GingerLolaMiniatures  9 місяців тому

      Thank you so much :) I really like the dollar tree now, there is another one, a bit further away, only 30 minutes, but i have about 4 dollaramas five minutes away from me, but i'm thinking dollar tree is definitely worth it, i'm going through my stash, to see what i have and don't for future dioramas and may do another dollar tree haul video.. :)
      I love the flowers too :) perfect scale for Barbie :)

    9:36 i have those wooden blocks and plan on stacking them to give legs to a board to make a table

    • @GingerLolaMiniatures
      @GingerLolaMiniatures  9 місяців тому

      They're perfect for that. I got a huge bag of buidling blocks at a garage sale a few years ago, definitely don't need anymore, dollar tree is great but i can't wait for garage sale season to start :)

      cool, good to know, definitely trying dollar tree first, prices at dollarama are getting ridiculous :)

    10:54 I used Dollar Tree fabric for my first doll clothes sewing project. It's not exactly high quality, but for a learning project, it was perfectly fine. And since doll clothes don't use a ton of fabric, the 18" x 21" size was sufficient for my needs. And they come in cute patterns and colors, as well as some more neutral tones that might be good for doll furniture upholstery.
    (Edit: also, you have a REALLY well-stocked Dollar Tree. The ones around here are decent, but they don't have nearly the selection yours has. I think mine has at most 3 boxes of fabric and felt. I'd love to browse the assortment shown in your video.)
    16:35 My local Dollar Tree also sold square carpet tiles at one point. (I don't know if they still do or not.) I got one in gray, one in black, and one in tan. They were a great size for a room box.

    • @GingerLolaMiniatures
      @GingerLolaMiniatures  9 місяців тому

      Definitely saw some fabric there I would have purchased, but I need to go through my stash first, it's already oversfuffed :) trying to be more mindful before buying, going through my apartment and purging what i don't need.
      Are you in the US, I always thought your Dollar Trees were bigger and better?? I have another Dollar Tree about 30 minutes away I may visit soon, see if they're stock is similar, I think it's a bigger one too. I was impressed with the craft supplies selection.
      Square carpet tiles, definitely going to look out for that next time i go. Thanks so much for watching and commenting :)

    The mini flower options are incredible. Here they don’t exist.

    • @GingerLolaMiniatures
      @GingerLolaMiniatures  9 місяців тому +1

      first time i've seen them at both dollarama and the dollar tree, perfect scale for barbie :) you could probably buy the bigger ones and cut some of fabric off to make the flowers smaller :)

    There were some gray arched plastic pieces @10:04 that would make great window surrounds.

    • @GingerLolaMiniatures
      @GingerLolaMiniatures  9 місяців тому

      I just looked again and those are bead trays, but I think you're right, I wonder if they can be used as a mold for clay or hot glue... i'll take a closer look next time i go to the Dollar Tree, which might be soon :) there's another one about 30min away, and I think they're bigger, not sure if that means better :)

    All that fabric at your local store and I still didn’t see the one specific color I’m looking for to finish my living room set!

    • @GingerLolaMiniatures
      @GingerLolaMiniatures  9 місяців тому

      lol, i know right, fabric is the hardest part to pick out, it sets the whole mood for the room.

  • @kathynorton4353
    @kathynorton4353 5 місяців тому +1

    The clothes are crap but I buy them for the shoes and purses and dress forms. Sometimes I will take them apart for a pattern or to reuse the fabric.

    • @GingerLolaMiniatures
      @GingerLolaMiniatures  4 місяці тому

      True, the skirt especially, but i think the top is ok :) great idea to use them for patterns :)

    Love Love Love the flowers and arrangements. Were the flowers in the craft aisle? Do you know where I can find 1/6 scale birds?
    I’m absolutely in love with your channel.

    • @GingerLolaMiniatures
      @GingerLolaMiniatures  4 місяці тому +1

      Thank you soooooo much :) the flowers were closer to the flower section but not a part of the wall, they had their own stand. I have seen small wooden birds in the craft section, maybe you can find white miniature doves in the wedding section? Thank you so much :)
