Duct Tape Kitchen

A couple days ago I was looking for a 18'' doll kitchen. Our generation has one but it is pretty expensive. so I thought, "I can make my own." So I did. And this is the tutorial. What you need is a good size box (I used a big cracker box), scissors, and duct tape. 
 

 First, cut off the bottom of the box to get the height that you want. On the front of the box, cut two flaps for the oven and dishwasher. Then tape a piece of cardboard inside for a shelf (the bottom of the box works for this if you cut it off). Then cover the sides in duct tape DO NOT COVER THE FLAPS. Then separately cover the flaps.

 Now for a handle cut a little pieces of duct tape and roll it up than take two tiny pieces of duct tape and tape each side of the handle to the flap. do this same step twice once on each side.
 Now for a sink first cut a little piece of cardboard then cut a fair amount of duct tape and fold it so a tiny sliver of sticky stuff is left. Make four of these:

Put the pieces of duct tape on the cardboard like in the picture below:
 

 Next, take some more duct tape and connect the corners to the desired roundness of the sink.


 I put more duct tape on the bottom of the sink to attach it.
For a faucet take some duct tape and roll it up, then take a tiny piece of duct tape and fold it so there is some sticky left and stick it on. To attach the faucet take three tiny pieces of duct tape and do a criss-cross pattern so it stays up. Finally, for a stove cut squares out of duct tape and stick them on. now it is finished. Enjoy!
If you have any ideas or questions I would like to hear them. Please comment below.

  1. Yes, the kitchen idea is SO cute. Can you show how to make some dishes to go in the dishwasher?
