TUTORIAL - Make SAMANTHA'S ROOM DIVIDER TO HOLD HER CLOTHES

Hello Everyone!!

Thought you would like to learn how I made 

Samantha's Room Divider.

Not sure how many viewers will have

seen her divider.

So thought I would put the tute here

anyway for it.

However it was only out of necessity

that prompted me to make it.

Sam was running out of room of where

to hang her clothes.

Pretty bad to think that your dolls

can outgrow her apartment or

dollhouse - but they do!!!

Remember the 2 french doors behind

Sam's nitestand - yea well I have

had these for the past 15 years or so

just waiting to use them for something.

Their frame that was around them broke

just leaving the french doors.

This idea would also work as a headboard

that is you have enough - not

sure if you would need  3 or 4 of them.

Finish these however you want as the choice

is yours. 

SUPER EASY!!!!

I read in a miniature dollhouse book where they used

ribbon for hinges.

So that is what I decided to try.

Can you see the ribbons being used

as a hinge between the 2 screens?

Use as many ribbons as you think you will

need cause I did.

I glued on 6 pieces of ribbon to make sure it
would stay sturdy. 

The only thing I will take credit for (is if in the 

book), there is no screw heads on the ribbon.

My thought/idea is to take a good 

ink pen and make dots on the ribbon so it
will look like nail/screw heads.
I will do that when I get time.

Before, this was a grey color and I painted it brown

before adding shelves to each screen. 

Only this side has the shelves.

Then I added a piece of (something) I cannot

remember what it was, I believe that they were
ends of something that I cut off and used. 
I want to hang up clothes

on this side of the screen. 

Some pretty door knobs would look lovely here!!
But if you use lovely door knobs chances are
is that it will only hold one item on it. 

This side of the screen was also grey, before I

painted it brown.

I left the strips between the windows brown.

I then painted white over all of 

the rest of the screen on this side.

Any smudges or drips - I left them

as you can see.
I was not going for a beat-up look, merely wanted
it to look like people just kept painting over
existing colors.
Like something you would find at a thrift store,
antique store or a salvage place.

Many thanks for stopping by!
