Making Ken some RollerSkates

                               

                             How to make Roller Skates


Items Needed:  Finger Boards the cheap kind from the Dollar Tree
                         Small Screwdrivers
                         Hot Glue Gun or Gorilla Grip something that will bond plastic
                         Ken High Top Shoes


I found that the Dollar Tree Skateboards work the best becasue the wheels and truck are one piece.  What is a truck it is

Unscrew wheels and base


Once removed use glue (craft, super glue or glue gun) to attach to bottom of shoes as seen below:






Real World Jewelry Box = 1/6th Scale Desk and travel chest

Some of my latest finds from yard sales, the first item is a jewelry box that can double as a dresser or a boardroom/lawyer desk.  The bottom two drawers are connected, it didn't take long for me to see it as a traveling wardrobe chest.




Toys r Us Finds

I popped into Toys r US a few days ago just to browse the aisle and see if anything jumps out to me that can be used for 1/6th/Playscale Diorama's.  The first thing that popped out to me was all the mini figures being produced.  That is when I spotted the animal carriers and figures.






 These two items would be perfect for mini doll houses or used as ginger bread houses in a Christmas diorama.





On another aisle I came across generic Kelly doll's...........



You cannot tell from this picture but the doll has jointed knee's, I was not able to tell if the arms are as well....
