Mini Hershey Bar Made from Hershey Candy Wrappers!

Another Trash to Treasure Barbie Miniature Project

This was a fun and easy project! Save those wrappers!

I used a Hershey's Mini to make a Barbie sized Hershey Chocolate Bar.

Instructions

1. Eat chocolate.

2. Flattened wrapper. Cut away all the silver part. Then cut the rest in half.

3. Cut a piece of foam or thick cardstock, measured to the size of the lettering on the wrapper. 

4. Cut and glue to foam or thick cardstock. Cut excess from the back. 

5. Bend the edges for a realistic look. 

Miniature Eggs Using Nail Polish, Sunny Side Up!

I made miniature eggs for my daughter's Barbie dollhouse using nailpolish (clear & white) and yellow Play Doh for the yolk. 

You can probably use glue to make it nice and rubbery if you don't have white nail polish. I haven't tried it using glue, but I am a big fan of glue art! I can see it working.

Instructions

1. On wax paper (or plain white paper), dab a white nail polish layer. It doesn't have to be a perfect circle, real eggs aren't.
2. In the middle, add a teeny, tiny piece of yellow Play Doh or clay for the yolk. 
3. Cover everything with clear nail polish. Let dry.
4. Add more white polish around the egg for the yolk. Let dry between layers.
5. Add more clear polish all over the egg, especially over the yolk part. 

Repeat the process, letting dry between layers until you get a nice thick texture and nice clear layers over the entire egg.

After it is dry, cut it from the paper. The white paper or wax paper on the bottom helps keep the bottom sturdy.

My white nail polish bottle looks beige & not white
due to bad lighting.
Use a nice white for a really white egg!

Clipboard Makeover for $1

I love all those pretty clipboards I always see at Target.  Unfortunately, I can never justify spending even $5 on it, because my daughter thinks my clipboards are coloring books!

I've had it for years, so other than that, it was in good condition.

I had some leftover wrapping paper from Target from their dollar section.  After tracing out the pattern, I used Mod Podge to glue it and then added a few more coats over it for a nice glossy effect.

The color difference in the picture is due to the first one taken at night, and the other one taken in the morning the next day.  What a difference bad lighting makes!
