I glued two together for each leg and then painted them pink. I bought the dollheads too small and that's why I used two per leg. The case sizes are about 7x10-3/4. They each have 16 compartments and then one larger compartment. Im thinking the larger one would fit band scissors. I don't have that many bows..yet..so im thinking Im going to also use this to store their necklaces collars and leashes. I just checked and even their leashes fit rolled up in the smaller compartments. Ill see if I have a pic of the before case so you can see what it looked like before the material. I have to finish putting the green beading around as I ran out of it. |
The doll heads as legs is a very clever idea...and one I would not likely have thought of...
I think it is ass cute with the two of them stacked up as it would have been with one larger one, too. I love the color pink you chose...
I think I got my bead organizer at Hobby Lobby...don't remember...it's been over a year. The ribbon dispensers I got at Michael's, and they clip together...so I got three and clipped all three ribbon sections together with one tray section (shown on the bottom in the images) which I clipped on the top and put the top/handle on top of the ribbons so I can quickly unclip it and carry it around for the scissors, bands, finished bows, etc., I store in it and the ribbons all just stay put. I used the other two top/handle sections as a grooming box, and the other to hold bands, etc. as a travel bag. Mine is the clear w/blue handle...but it comes in other colors including a "Holiday Green" color top.
I had gone 'on a mission' to find suitable storage and was 'disappointed'...
...so, truly, I think you did a great job constructing something that is hard to find ready made.
