  • I made a closet for my Ellowyne Wilde 16 inch fashion doll but it will work for 18 inch dolls like American Girl too! Using an American Girl doll box from the Limited Edition collector dolls and some of the special packaging it comes with, I will demonstrate how I turned a cardboard box into a beautiful closet for your dolls.

    Very nicely done! It really looks nice. Paper and cardboard, that's the ticket and what makes it special is having fun in the process! I'm sure all your dollies feel the love you share! Enjoy your videos!🙂

      Thanks so much! 😊It was a very affordable closet too. I just had to buy nice paper, dowels, and a divided container for the accessories. 😁

      Thank you Dorie! I really enjoyed making it. It was not hard but a bit time consuming to make it look nice. Next time I might try a different paper theme. I appreciate your support!🥰

    Great video. I used to make doll houses like this when I was young. I always say every doll collector has a mini me and this doll is definitely yours. Stay blessed my friend ❤Dee

      Thank you so much Dee. I also remember making little doll houses out of shoe boxes as a child. It was so fun and imaginative. You are very kind to say Ellowyne is my mini me. Thank you for the nice compliment. Big warm hugs to you.

    This is such a cute idea and you made such a nice job of it. I currently have all of Ellowyne and Neema's clothes and accessories in a mini cardboard suitcase which does work ok but everything tends to get mixed up and it would useful to have the clothes hanging so I can properly see what I have.

    • @CherishedDollFriends
      @CherishedDollFriends  21 день тому +1

      Your suitcase sounds like a good idea too. I had thought of trying to make a closet out a suitcase but I didn't have one on hand. I'm happy you like my idea. I may need to make another one for Neema. ;) Thanks so much for watching!

    You did a beautiful “crafty” job on this, Cheryl ❤🎉❤. I’m thinking about using a small plastic tote if I can find an appropriate one. Then I can store it away and even move with it all intact. The more I see Ellowyne I am getting persuaded in getting one. Are they still making new ones? I am not into the ones made up with make up and on the scary side. Haha! Chris Tina

    • @CherishedDollFriends
      @CherishedDollFriends  22 дні тому

      Hi Chris Tina, It is a good idea to make a closet out of something plastic that is more durable too, especially if you plan to travel or move with it. Virtual Doll Convention has just released a new Ellowyne doll and two Neema dolls by Robert Tonner that will be released this coming Saturday. The Ellowyne is very sweet looking in a pink dress and bonnet. They go fast. I hope you can get one!

    Thank you Cheryl! Lovely! ❤Your closet turned out very pretty and does have a trunk look to it. I think I have that paper too. For some reason I was thinking isn't maybe a canvas like ribbon or canvas or leather used to trim trunks too? I thought maybe the plastic container you bought would fit into the foam shelf? I might need to get some of those plastic containers. I use one box I got from VDC for purses, another for shoes, etc. Haven't bought a Grace yet because I don't know when they will be released, and I haven't been collecting these dolls, except for about a year now. I did find some nice boxes that were pretty big at Joann's that were on sale that have stretch and button latch to store the clothes and accessories in. I should share mine too. You are talking about a doll group or community? What state are you in? I belong to a doll group and one of the members just set up her own studio to make wardrobes but they are very expensive. She had them at the holiday craft fair last year and now has rented a studio to make them. I looked online and really didn't find much. I did see a Robert Tonner wardrobe closet someone was selling on Ebay a couple months ago, and it was pricy. I just put all my smaller boxes into the bigger ones, but it would be nice to be able to hang them. I did see someone had a small space in a closet posted with some kind of wire storage rack that they were using to hang up the doll clothes. And hat racks made of those rotating jewelry trees. Happy doll days!👏 ❤❤❤🛍👠👡👒👗👖👕🧦👓🧥🧣🩱👢🪮👜👛👙👚I spend as much on a doll outfit or more than my own outfits. 😂🎉

      HI Joy, Thank you for sharing with me. It sounds like you have really looked into doll closet ideas! I also saw the Robert Tonner one from a while ago. It's lovely but quite expensive and also heavy to have shipped. That's why I wanted to make my own from a box. There are so many ways one could make a doll closet using many of the materials you mention. Thank you for watching. I am in Canada. I am not involved in any doll clubs here yet. I think the one I was referring to was Rachel Hoffmans Virtual Doll convention. It's like an online doll club! I do have Grace as well and luckily she fits some of Ellowyne's clothes and some of Ello's fit her! Happy doll days to you as well!
