If you save your little pieces of plastic leaves they could be spinach in a salad.

One thing I love to do is to look for dollar store doll clothes I like the shape of, because it's super easy to seam rip them apart and reverse engineer them into a pattern! I also like to experiment with dyes and paints or other alterations. They're great for practicing my sewing and crafting skills. And if I end up damaging the clothes, it's not a big deal because they were cheap! 😂

That's a great idea and tip! My sewing skills are scary, but I do love dressing up Barbie for the videos :)

Can't wait. Dollar tree is my favorite spot for Dollhouse supplies. I go just about every weekend hoping for new stuff. 😊

Cool, thanks so much, I used your comment in the video :)

Thank you. My teen son chose the name and thumbnail. I loved the video. We live in NYC and your location has to be the neatest and well organized Dollar Tree I've ever seen. 😄. I'm actually heading to my location today. My 5yr old also loves that store, my husband may have had enough, lol. Can't wait for more of your content. 🤗

Love the thumbnail and name :) thank you so much :) i always thought the dollar trees were so much better in the US, that's why I always went to dollarama, the dollar tree is a bit further out for me, but definitely worth the drive :) lol ... thank you so much :) i may do another dollar tree trip, but first i need to go through my stash at home, see what i need for future dioramas and dollhouse makeovers :)

Your DT is stocked!!! Mine has more empty spots than full.

Really? Are you in the US? Always thought your Dollar Trees were better stocked.

Wow! I'm both impressed and envious. 🤩😖 I have yet to visit a Dollar Tree with such abundance here in Maryland!

Really? I always thought the US Dollar Tree was so much better? Maybe because we don't have that many here?

I wish we had a Dollarama here in Florida. And our Dollar Tree does not have a huge craft section like yours. I was watching and thinking it was probably a good thing it’s not that big 😁

@GingerLolaMiniatures 10 ай бұрын

Really? I always thought the US Dollar Tree was bigger and better... oh... the craft selection did impress me, definitely visiting dollar tree before dollarama, wish it was closer, i have about 4 dollaramas about 5 minutes away, the dollar trees are over 20 min. :)

The mini flower options are incredible. Here they don’t exist.

@GingerLolaMiniatures 10 ай бұрын

first time i've seen them at both dollarama and the dollar tree, perfect scale for barbie :) you could probably buy the bigger ones and cut some of fabric off to make the flowers smaller :)

9:36 i have those wooden blocks and plan on stacking them to give legs to a board to make a table

@GingerLolaMiniatures 10 ай бұрын

They're perfect for that. I got a huge bag of buidling blocks at a garage sale a few years ago, definitely don't need anymore, dollar tree is great but i can't wait for garage sale season to start :)

Thank you so much :) There is another Dollar Tree about 30min away and I think its bigger, not sure if that makes it better, or just more of the same.... :) maybe i'll do another trip...but first i need to go through my stash, so i buy exactly what i need :) both? maybe I will, I can probably use the same background if I keep it neutral :) thanks so much for watching and commenting :)

Awesome video!!❣️❣️❣️ Thank you!!❣️Your videos are always so interesting too!!❣️❣️❣️I find it so interesting to see what the different Dollar Tree's carry in different locations. We don't have a Dollarama here. The Goodwill here, I fid, is often a hit or miss. I love the flowers you purchased.❣️

@GingerLolaMiniatures 10 ай бұрын

Thank you so much :) I really like the dollar tree now, there is another one, a bit further away, only 30 minutes, but i have about 4 dollaramas five minutes away from me, but i'm thinking dollar tree is definitely worth it, i'm going through my stash, to see what i have and don't for future dioramas and may do another dollar tree haul video.. :) I love the flowers too :) perfect scale for Barbie :)

10:54 I used Dollar Tree fabric for my first doll clothes sewing project. It's not exactly high quality, but for a learning project, it was perfectly fine. And since doll clothes don't use a ton of fabric, the 18" x 21" size was sufficient for my needs. And they come in cute patterns and colors, as well as some more neutral tones that might be good for doll furniture upholstery. (Edit: also, you have a REALLY well-stocked Dollar Tree. The ones around here are decent, but they don't have nearly the selection yours has. I think mine has at most 3 boxes of fabric and felt. I'd love to browse the assortment shown in your video.) 16:35 My local Dollar Tree also sold square carpet tiles at one point. (I don't know if they still do or not.) I got one in gray, one in black, and one in tan. They were a great size for a room box.

@GingerLolaMiniatures 10 ай бұрын

Definitely saw some fabric there I would have purchased, but I need to go through my stash first, it's already oversfuffed :) trying to be more mindful before buying, going through my apartment and purging what i don't need. Are you in the US, I always thought your Dollar Trees were bigger and better?? I have another Dollar Tree about 30 minutes away I may visit soon, see if they're stock is similar, I think it's a bigger one too. I was impressed with the craft supplies selection. Square carpet tiles, definitely going to look out for that next time i go. Thanks so much for watching and commenting :)

There were some gray arched plastic pieces @10:04 that would make great window surrounds.

I just looked again and those are bead trays, but I think you're right, I wonder if they can be used as a mold for clay or hot glue... i'll take a closer look next time i go to the Dollar Tree, which might be soon :) there's another one about 30min away, and I think they're bigger, not sure if that means better :)

@kathynorton4353 6 ай бұрын

The clothes are crap but I buy them for the shoes and purses and dress forms. Sometimes I will take them apart for a pattern or to reuse the fabric.

@GingerLolaMiniatures 6 ай бұрын

True, the skirt especially, but i think the top is ok :) great idea to use them for patterns :)

I bought that outfit as well but it didn’t fit the mtm bodies very well, but for photos I just didn’t show the back. My mini wore the top in a recent IG post

Love Love Love the flowers and arrangements. Were the flowers in the craft aisle? Do you know where I can find 1/6 scale birds? I’m absolutely in love with your channel.

@GingerLolaMiniatures 6 ай бұрын

Thank you soooooo much :) the flowers were closer to the flower section but not a part of the wall, they had their own stand. I have seen small wooden birds in the craft section, maybe you can find white miniature doves in the wedding section? Thank you so much :)
