Easy DIY Back to School Supplies for Dolls – Craft Video

Cookie swirl hello cookie fans today we’re going to be making some super cool miniature school supplies that are going to be absolutely the perfect size for any lol or omg doll or barbie doll so to make these school supplies i want to know is it easier to make them out of paper or

Air dry clay so let’s start things off pretty simple we’re going to do a miniature ruler so i’m just going to take my paper now this paper is just regular like note card paper so it’s a little bit thicker than regular computer paper just so it has a little bit of

More weight to it i’m gonna paint it yellow with some acrylic paint paint both sides of it while i’m waiting for that to fully dry i can pull out all those crusties that get stuck in my paint cap ew and now once it’s dry to the touch i’m

Just going to turn it over and these lines on the note paper make it so easy to follow i’m just gonna cut it out now for my younger cookie fans you have to have an adult help you with scissors now with a really sharp pencil i’m just gonna add in my little ruler

Measurements so there we go with the inches and now i can flip it on over to add my centimeters in so i’m gonna draw lots of little teeny tiny little centimeter lines there we go so now i actually have my paper ruler and that was really really

Easy like five out of five on the easy scale all right let’s give that to my little lol surprise doll to hold all right thank you now let’s take the air dry clay and see how easy it is to make a school ruler with the clay so i’m

Going to use just a little pinch here don’t need too much and i’m just going to roll my clay out into a long line like that and then put it down and now flatten it out i don’t know if i can get a really good ruler shape then kind of

Flatten it out on the edge here by just pressing it onto my paper just like that i want it to get as straight as possible i mean this is a ruler so rulers need to be straight oh i wonder if i could actually use my note card and actually

Kind of help press the shape of my ruler maybe by cutting off just a little bit there we go so i just cut a little teeny tiny piece of clay off with my note card do that on both sides it’s gonna be a really thin ruler oh no it kind of has a

Little bit of a jagged edge and press it okay you know that’s actually not looking too bad so now i’m just gonna let that dry while we wait for that to dry let’s check out some cookie swirl see fan art oh look at this have you guys ever seen a

Cookie dolphin this is really cute okay this is just happiness all over look at this cute little rainbow with a smiley face oh it’s rainbow bite the shopkin oh look at this drawing we’ve got the gingerbread man and girl all together and they both are saying there’s like a little happy squirrel on

The hill and a little bunny the flower bush has a smiley face oh even the little cherry bush is smiling and the sun and the clouds okay i love this drawing oh is this supposed to be me i’m like waving oh look at the cute cookie

This is an amazing drawing all right the ruler is now all dry so as you can see this edge is still just crookedy not a problem i’m just going to take a nail file and very carefully file away at the edge here and make it nice and straight

Now i don’t want to press too hard because this is a really thin thin thin piece of clay there we go now look at that edge so much better same thing with the other side flip it over just gonna file it straight and then on the edges

You can just take a pair of scissors now for my younger cookie fans you have to have an adult help you with scissors and just cut the tip off like that perfect there we go now that ruler is looking really good so i’m gonna paint it with

The same yellow color paint the ruler on both sides all right now on my ruler i’m going to do the same things and do my little measured markings all right there’s one side flip it over and now the centimeters all right there we go so now

I have my clay ruler this looks pretty good too this one looks really awesome um on the easy scale five being the easiest i would give this a four just because it was kind of hard just to mold out the clay and just make sure it was

Nice and straight so it could actually look like a ruler that was pretty cute so we’ll give it to barbie to hold there we go so those are both really really adorable and super simple and easy to make okay so that was fun so what is the

Next school supply that we’re gonna be making well another item that’s super simple would be a pencil all right to make the pencils so i’m going to take the little edge here on the note card snip just a little bit of some paper here just like that right off the corner and

Then i’m going to take the edge here in the back press on it rolling up the paper just like i’m making like a little paper straw start get that paper to roll it may take a few times to kind of roll it and then unroll it just to get it to

Go the right way until it makes like a little point at the end here just roll it in your fingers and it will start to take on the shape of a pencil there we go roll it up give it a twist you want that roll to be nice and tight

On the pencil especially right at the tip there we go so now here is my rolled up piece of paper and i’m just going to use just a teeny tiny bit of tape you do not need much just a little bit to kind of hold this little rolled edge down

Because it’s kind of popping up just a little bit right here so i want that to be held down in place i’m just going to roll that tape on and just add extra pressure to that tape by just still rolling it in my hands all right there

We go now we’ve got kind of a weird pencil shape just like this now i’m going to dip the tip of my pencil in a tiny bit of water just a little bit and twist it even more to create a little pencil tip that’s a little bit sharper

There we go so there’s the tip of my pencil and on the bottom you can even dip my finger in the water and then just add the water to the bottom here and just kind of flatten it out and that is going to be the eraser just flatten flat

And flatten that paper down just with the water now i’m going to take a little bit of some mod podge on my paintbrush seal this tape in and the shape of my pencil i’m just going to paint it on and the mod podge will just make the pencil

That much easier to paint as well now once that dries i’m just now going to paint it to actually look like a pencil and if you have some tape that actually is sticking up just a little bit don’t be afraid to trim it with your scissors

So i’m going to use a little bit of some tan color i’m going to use a tiny touch of tan to paint the tip of my pencil for the pencil lead i’m going to use pewter gray just open that up and oh okay it is a little a little bit old

See this is exactly why you want to clean out your paint lids from all that gooey oh no this is a bad one there’s so much goopy in here it’s just the paint starts to dry if you just don’t use the color so you got to use it or you’ll gloop it

All right is that it i think i think i almost got all of it all right let’s give this a good shake open it up ah much better now we’ll use just a little bit of this pewter gray to create the pencil lead right on the

Tippy top here we go then i’m gonna use some metallic silver to fit on the back end of the pencil now i’m gonna use this golden straw color to actually paint my pencil in now of course you can use any color if you wanted your barbies in lol to have a

Pink pencil or a green pencil or a blue any color you can dream of you can paint it that color but i’m just gonna go with that classic yellow pencil now i found the perfect pink to use for the eraser it’s actually called pink eraser isn’t

That perfect teeny bit a pink eraser to add on to the eraser part so there is the pencil that has been made out of paper so the paper pencil was pretty easy to make but it can be a little tricky rolling it up so i give

This one on the easy scale three out of five now to make a clay pencil that should be pretty easy that’s what i’m expecting so i’m just gonna use a tiny little pinch again of the air dry clay don’t need very much i’m gonna take it

And i’m just going to roll roll roll roll and create a pencil shape yep that easy oh that was almost too much clay i could probably make two or even three pencils out of that pinch so measure it out probably want to be about that long

There we go roll out the tip so it’s a little bit more pointier and flatten out the back so that can be my eraser just a little flatten it on my nail too easy there we go and now i’m just going to let this pencil dry all right the

Pencil had a chance to dry and i even had a chance to paint some glitter on my nails too pretty huh now i’m going to go in and paint exactly the same way that i did with the paper pencil there we go so paint the little metal piece on and the shaving tip

Then go in with that pink eraser color add it to the pencil now i can paint the pencil and a little gray for the pencil lead and just like that this clay pencil is now completed that was so mega easy i give that one five out of five on the

Easy scale and i actually think that the clay one does look a lot better than the paper pencil just because it’s a lot smoother and completely around while the paper pencil you can still kind of see that tape line there and it’s just kind of a little crookedy so the clay

Absolutely wins on that one now what are we gonna write in with these pencils let’s make a notebook so i’ve got my little paper note card here it’s gonna be really really easy to make out of paper because that’s what a notebook is so i’m just gonna fold it in half to the

Size that i want my notebook to be just like that cut it out now i actually have a real opening notebook now i’m gonna make it look a little bit more realistic so i’m gonna take some black paint and paint the front and the back of it All right now that my little notebook has been painted black i am going to take some white paint give it a good shake and i’m going to do like a really cool like flicked on design to kind of get that notebook look so put a little bit of some white paint

On my brush so i’ll do like a little practice flicky here oh it’s kind of hard to see but it does these little flicks so i’m gonna do exactly that right on the cover of my notebook so just flick the paint there we go look at how cool that is how

It just kind of speckles all of that white paint right on it there we go so now i’m gonna let that dry completely and once that dries now i can go back in with my black paint and paint the spine and the edge of my notebook black

And take my white and also paint a little area on the front just so it looks more realistic look at this this is so cute now i can really add real pages into the notebook by just taking a little bit of some papers and then i’m going to fold up and over

Put it into my notebook so i can see the size of it and then carefully cut and again for my younger cookie fans always always always have somebody help you with scissors try not to cut your notebook too do not cut the notebook and then you can glue the pages in and

Then look at that you actually have a real notebook that actually works and looks like a miniature of the real fang isn’t that so cute all right now we’re gonna make a clay version of this little notebook i don’t know how we’re gonna top that because that was absolutely

Precious i mean i give this a 5 out of 5 on the easy scale for sure so for our air dry clay notebook this notebook is going to be closed so you will not be able to open this one so i’m going to grab a pinch of clay roll it into a ball

And then i’m going to just flatten it out with my finger like that just press on it i want it nice and flat flat flat flat and once i press it flat i’m going to take it and i’m going to flip it over on the other side because

See on the hard surface of my table it makes a really flat surface on one side versus the other side it’s kind of lumpy and you can see my fingerprints so i’m just gonna press like that use something flat to help press it down get a nice

Flat surface oh no it stuck to it here we go now it’s as flat as a pancake now i’m gonna use my paper notebook as my little guide and i’m just going to place it right on top and then by using a toothpick i’m just going to drag out the

Shape and just get rid of that excess clay it’s no longer needed oh it’s stuck to it too oh oh that does not look all that great now i kind of have the shape of a notebook which it’s okay that it’s not perfectly square shape we are going to file that

Once it dries but we are going to make a spiral bound notebook with this so with the leftover clay from whenever i removed these little extra pieces i’m just going to take a little piece roll it in my hand and this is going to create the spiral just like on this

Notebook right here this is exactly what we’re going to create just roll it out nice and thin place on the edge of the notebook and press and i can just use my fingernail and just remove the extra pieces like that now with my toothpick

I’m just going to go in and i’m going to make the little spiral bound marks by just pressing my toothpick in to the edge and make little indentations and this will look so much better of course once it’s all dry and all painted and i

Can even go in and add the little teeny tiny holes in the notebook as well so just press with my toothpick there we go now we’re gonna let this spiral bound weird-looking notebook completely dry and then we’ll go back in and fix it and while we’re waiting for that to dry

Let’s check out some super awesome little fan mail again ooh look at how cute this is i cannot believe this a perler beads of the cookie swirl see logo this is adorable this was sent in through fan mail so thank you so much this is just so creative what a super

Smart brilliant idea i’m totally hanging this up i love this and i got this super duper sweet message as well it says dear cookie for being the most thoughtful generous youtuber ever oh you earned the cookie play button sincerely marley the cookie play button look at what she made i love this this

Is so cool this is the best award ever thank you so much marley so i am going to put this little perler bead cookie right here next to this other one that a cookie fan mailed me so i can always see them and then my little cookie play

Button award i have another award right here from a cookie fan and i also have these two as well that i was also given so i’m gonna hang this one up right here so it could be like my wall of cookie fan awards oh and did i ever show you

Guys this how cute is this it’s a cookie swirl c ornament that was also handmade and mailed in i just i just love it so much so i had that hanging up next to cookies and an animal cook all right so the notepad has all dried here’s that sound

Yep that means it’s totally ready to be painted but first before i do that we gotta fix these edges because it’s just looking a little cray-cray so just taking my nail file i’m just going to very carefully file the edges and make them nice and straight just like a real

Notebook i mean i don’t think anybody would buy a crooked notebook but the trick is to kind of keep those corners nice and straight actually i guess this little mini notepad has rounded corners so we could round out the corners if we wanted to maybe a little slight little rounding on it just

Go ahead and just move the file like that just around your corners off there we go so there is my little notebook now the fun part i’m gonna paint it this nice bright candy apple red color just take my red paint and paint it And of course don’t forget to paint the backside of the notebook then once that dries i’m going to go in with my thin paint brush and right on the edges i’m going to add in all of the paper by just painting it white that way

It looks like it is filled with lots and lots of lots of paper around the whole entire edge then just like how this little mini notebook is how it says memo at the bottom i’m gonna take my toothpick and instead of writing the word memo i’m gonna write the word

Paper on it so real small at the bottom then i’m gonna go in with some silver and paint the edge so it looks like this is what is keeping all of the paper together in the notebook all right there we go and now this notebook is completely done and so even though it

Doesn’t actually open it’s still really cute to just see a notebook that i created just kind of based off of this one right here so that was really easy to make this one too so i would give this out of the easy scale probably a four out of five but these are both

Really really really cute especially just if you have them just in your doll classroom they are perfect you kind of need this one to sit on a desk while this one looks great if you can actually open it and actually really right in it well there you go you guys so that is

How you make some really really easy easy school supplies for your dolls it’s so cute seeing like school supplies in miniature i love things that are miniature so we’ve got our ruler we’ve got our notebooks and we’ve got our pencils so let’s see who is the winner

Hmm so out of the notebooks it was easier to make the paper notebook but out of the pencils it was easier to make the clay one and out of the school rulers it was definitely easier to make the paper one so the paper school accessories win if you make any of these

I would love to see pictures they were so simple so fun so remember to always be creative and have the best day ever bye smart cookies Series
