DIY doll's house shower

This is made from an After Eight box, a couple of straws, some beads and buttons, some plastic wrapping, a plastic clothes tag and the blister packaging from a packet of tablets.


How I made it

First I removed one side of the After Eight box but kept the fancy edge which I glued onto the new edge. I painted the edges with white acrylic paint, and lined the inside with sewing pattern paper that I'd painted with acrylic paints to give the impression of tiles. Then I glued a round plastic clothes tag onto the base to make the shower floor.




I covered the outsides, top and bottom with foam sheet




I made the shower unit from a bendy straw-  I glued 2 blisters from a pack of tablets half way down to make a soap dish, a piece of straw with a red and blue button either side to make taps, and a large flat button at the top to make the shower head. Once it was all glued firm I painted the whole lot with several layers of silver acrylic paint, and put black dots on the shower head.


I also glued silver beads along the top and sides to attach to the shower unit, and glued it in place.




I made the shower curtain from a piece of plastic wrapping- I painted hearts on with acrylic paint, then stuck circular stickers along the top and punched holes through with a hole-punch. I made the shower rail from a bendy straw with a pipe-cleaner threaded through and hooked the whole thing up.
