This
week for the Trash to Treasure I thought it would be fun to make the
dolls some milkshakes.
This
is a project that has been around for many years, like a lot of the
Trash to Treasure projects. I put my own spin on it for you.
You
really only need a few items to make this. First the wire nuts, these
are used in electrical wiring and should be really easy to find and
pretty cheap. They come in several sizes so pick small ones for the
1/12th scale. The slightly larger size would be perfect
for Barbie and her friends too.
If
you want to provide the dolls with a straw find some plastic covered
paper clips, again a fairly small size. I got mine at the dollar
store.
For
the milkshake or really the whipped cream that would be on the top of
the milkshake we use our standard latex caulking. I love using this
anytime I want to make whipped cream or frosting. It is really easy
to use, easy to find (any place that sells paint for your real home)
and cheap.
I
did use a toothpick to put the caulk into the container since I cut
the tip of my tube of caulk too big for this project. It is pretty
easy to make a whipped cream swirl with a toothpick. Just play with
it a little bit until you are happy with it.
If
I would have thought of it I could have added some glitter
“sprinkles” to the top.
Be
sure to add that straw before the caulk starts to set up.
The wire cap has the right size and shape of a milkshake glass and looks really good with the matching straw!
