December 12, 2018 0 Comments
Kitchen Cabinet Plans, Instructions included by Klenke.
       A kitchen is a room or part of a room used for cooking and food preparation in a dwelling or in a commercial establishment. A modern middle-class residential kitchen is typically equipped with a stove, a sink with hot and cold running water, a refrigerator, and worktops and kitchen cabinets arranged according to a modular design. Many households have a microwave oven, a dishwasher, and other electric appliances. The main functions of a kitchen are to store, prepare and cook food (and to complete related tasks such as dishwashing). The room or area may also be used for dining (or small meals such as breakfast), entertaining and laundry. The design and construction of kitchens is a huge market all over the world. The United States are expected to generate $47,730m in the kitchen furniture industry for 2018 alone. Read more...

DIY a Gas Stove Top and Oven for Barbie's Family

July 28, 2018 0 Comments
       My kitchen stove top and oven at home is gas, so I chose to craft a similar model for Barbie's family and friends. The example below is just the right size for 12 inch fashion dolls; I have listed the exact measurements just in case you can not find a box with similar dimensions.
Imani and Rachel love this gas range and oven. What fun they will have baking and cooking for all the other doll
family members! Imani thinks this oven has plenty of space to bake a large turkey for Thanksgiving.
Supply List:
  • aluminum tape
  • black acrylic paint
  • a variety of buttons for oven temperature dials
  • black rectangle bead for digital temp. display
  • wooden tooth picks
  • Velcro tabs (black if possible, or dots)
  • recycled plastic sheet for oven window 
  • hot glue gun
  • small cardboard box the shape and size of an oven with cook top for Barbie and Ken dolls
  • black construction paper
  • wooden dowel and ball point pen cap for drawer pulls
  • silver paint (spray or acrylic)
  • masking tape
Step-by-Step Directions:
  1. Collect a box or cut one that measures approximately 5"long, 7"tall, 3 1/2" wide.
  2. Cut a door separately, 5"long, 4"tall.
  3. Cut a window opening, 2 1/2'' long, 1 1/2'' tall.
  4. Cut a piece of clear plastic slightly large and tape to the backside of the door with silver aluminum tape.
  5. Cover the rest of the door with the same silver tape both inside and out.
  6. Cover over all of the surfaces of the outside of the oven with silver aluminum tape.
  7. Mask the interior of the oven with plain masking tape completely.
  8. Paint the interior with black acrylic paint and let it dry.
  9. Using the aluminum silver tape, tape the lower end of the oven door at the bottom only to cover the opening to the oven. The tape should extend to the inside of the oven from the door.
  10. The Velcro tabs (or dots) should be positioned at both the top left and right corners of the oven door and also to a cardboard piece running across the interior top of the oven opening. The tabs should meet at both ends so that the door will remain shut when it is shut. (see placement below)
  11. Now you are ready to add any details that you would like.
  12. I cut my square gas burners from black paper and hot glued four tiny black buttons to the center of each burner where the gas flame would be on a real stove top.
  13. Then I hot glued black painted toothpicks down the center of the stove top to mimic a grill.
  14. You can hot glue buttons across the front of the oven, just above the oven door to act as burner dials and glue a black square bead to act as a digital clock and temperature gauge for the oven.
  15. I also cut a cardboard shelf for the inside of my oven. It measures slightly under 3"x5"to fit the interior. 
  16. I used white school glue to add toothpicks. Let these dry and then spray painted my shelf with silver paint. 
  17. I had to glue in extra cardboard pieces to hold the shelf up. Don't forget to paint these extra cardboard attachments with black acrylic paint.
  18. Wrap a wooden dowel the approximate length of the oven door with silver tape and hot glue it where you think the oven handle should be located.
  19. Remove the silver clasp from an old dried out, ball point pen and hot glue this to the drawer panel below just beneath the oven door. I chose to ad this detail for looks only. The drawer doesn't actually open.
