I changed the doll for Logan's set. I like this one much better. You can find the pattern and tutorial for this little doll here. They also have different clothes and a boy doll.
I also made the whole set a little smaller. There are 10 mattresses stuffed with cotton batting. The pea is wet felted wool.
Here's the whole set including a book we made of the story. It all fits in a green, little bag with a pocket for the princess and one for the pea.
The party was a blast and Logan loved her Princess and the Pea playset. I love making and receive homemade gifts. We are having a handmade Christmas again this year and I am searching for ideas. I would love to hear about items you have made for toddlers, tween girls, dads, husbands, and grandparents.And if you are interested in having a handmade Christmas hop on over to Plain and Joyful Living where Tonya is hosting a Handmade Holiday 2010!
She did love it!!!! Its wonderful, my favorite kind of gift...from the heart!!!!
ReplyDeleteI love homemade/handmade gifts! I am currently working on some adorable barnyard balls for two little nephews and a niece this Christmas. I already made a set for Samuel's 1st birthday (can't believe it's next month!). You can find the pattern at www.youcanmakethis.com. I would love to do a completely homemade Christmas, but I don't know if I can pull it off.
ReplyDeleteI made sets like this for my niece and daughter and they loved them. With homemade, its always in the back of my mind, that I might be spending longer on making them than the children will spend playing with them. The princess and the pea sets turn out to be a winner! Phew!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely darling! I'll have to check this tutorial out and make some for my granddaughters. Thank you for sharing. Hope your day has been a blessed one.
