  • Make your reservations and pack your swimsuits because it’s time for a summer vacation. By request I’m making my version of the mini retro motel from the Target dollar spot. This is a much needed vacation spot for the dolls made from foam board and paperboard.This motel is made in 1:6 scale for fashion dolls like Barbie but can easily be rescaled to fit other dolls.

    I think the Motel came together "beautifully." As always, I love your attention to details, the patterns, and designs are esthetically pleasing to the eye. Great job!

    The decoupage wallpaper is such a great pick and the sign is such a great addition... You are so amazing at making unique and beautiful buildings

    It's too hard. However, it's so much fun.
    I feel vicarious satisfaction.
    I like to see architects make things. 😊❤
    I'm satisfied with seeing the doll house.
    I hope I can make a house for my dolls someday, and I want to take a closer look. 😊

    Great little MCM motel! I love it. And a tip I learned from another maker: make sure you use a brand new blade when cutting foam core, to get crisp edges. Even a slightly used blade will chew up the foam core.

    My granddaughter today reminded me that we need to build a beach for our Barbies and Kens, and I wondered what exactly I wanted to do with the beach.....a motel would be perfect. Terrific job btw!!

      I love MCM architecture and furniture (having been born in 1957) so this motel just hits right.

    I love it I think you did a great job making this. The only thing I would suggest is add a few more leaves to the tree.🙂

    It is so pretty 😍 .Try using plastic wrap to smooth your decoupage instead of a brush or your fingers. It really does make it easier to get the wrinkles wrinkles out. out. Hope this will help. Your mother motel is wonderful. I am just making a suggestion for the next time🥰

    Doors need to be 13.5" for dolls to actually step through.

    • @YourFriendDee
      @YourFriendDee  Před 20 dny

      Thank you. I usually make my doors to accommodate a Ken doll but because of the space I have available to store this piece I had to lower the roof resulting in the door height also be lowered.
