A Magazine Rack Fit for a Dollhouse

Have you ever noticed how razor cartridge containers look like miniature magazine racks? No? Maybe it's just me. Well, today I tested the idea out on my daughter's dollhouse. Using painter's tape, I adhered a razor cartridge container to the dollhouse wall. Then I printed out some scaled down magazine covers for miniature magazines. Now I'm envisioning a whole doll house made out of recycled items. So many ideas, so little time.

  1. I love it so much!!! I lovev making things like this for my daughters doll house. I just made perfect little towel and a bath mat from one of our big ones that had a tiny graphic print. I might need to go find something to hold the cartridges in my razor right now! I really enjoy the way your mind works!

  8. Haha! When I first looked at this I thought it was a real magazine rack! Absolutely fantastic! I think I'll be having a go at this later even though I have no children or a dolls house to put it in (it has THAT effect on me)!! :)

  9. Very cute and ingenious! I had no idea what it was until you explained it, it really does look like a mini magazine rack. Family fun has some ideas for doll furniture made from everyday objects. Can't wait to see how they inspire you.

  11. This is great! I'm waiting until my kids are a little bigger before I trick out their doll house with stuff like this... that has been my plan since I was about 6! I used to make stuff like this all the time when I was little. My favorite was using toothpaste caps as lampshades. If you glue one onto an old game piece (from something like parcheesi) it makes a perfect table lamp. I can't wait to see what you do next!

  18. American Girl published a great little book of miniature items crafted from everyday stuff . I think it's called Tiny Treasures. It's right up your alley.
