Suds and Bubbles Soap Box ready for a grand opening. she has already hired sarah reed. carl and nate are moving in all the shelves and counters. the counter I made from a box covered in scrape book paper. the black and white shelf is from happerly ever after. I made all the bottles from the eye drops bottles and beads and printies. the soaps are made from fimo. I filled bottles with red and green and different color sprinkles. some bottles I filled with red pepper and oatmeal.

press and curl

this is the first salon I made in 2009 I purchased the peach salon chairs and work station with mirror, sinks from minuetteminis.com. I made the nail table, trash can is a coffee creamer with tissue paper for bag. I made packs of hair from hair hanging on the wall. nail polish bottles are beads with a straw for the brush. I made the fan, I made the trolley cart with all the items, curlers made from straws, bobby pins from paper clips, tissue paper from real tissue paper. the cabinet with the coffee machine has a built in refrigerator, coffee machine was made from a piece of wood with beads for the knobs. paper towel holder I made. the mirror is from a compact. the washer and dryer was made from printies I cut out the front to be able to put laundry inside.
