Doll Size Salad

Watch the video here.

This week I am showing you a project I have been wanting to do for a long time. I had to wait until the Christmas decorations started to show up in most of the stores first though because we need to use some of the artificial snow that is sold to scatter under the Christmas villages. You need the kind that has the clear and white flakes but no iridescent ones. If all you can get are the bags with some of the iridescent flakes you will have to pick out all of those flakes.

You will also need 3 or 4 colors of green craft paint and a bottle of a grape color craft paint. At least that is what you will need to make a nice bag of mixed salad greens. If your dolls just want iceberg lettuce then you can probably get by with only a bottle of green. In real life I like the mixed greens for my salad so that is what I always make in doll size. It is just so much prettier with the extra colors.

You will also need a zip lock sandwich bag for each color of paint. The process is simple enough just put the desired amount of snow into the sandwich bag and add the paint a drop or two at a time. You really don't need much so start with less paint than you think you will need and add more if needed. Zip the sandwich bag shut and use your fingers to rub the snow and paint together inside the bag. If you are careful it won't be too messy. I have had the bags break a few times and that can be messy.

This is a fun project that even the kids can do with very little supervision.

After you have the color spread through the snow open the bag and let it partially dry in the bags. Once the paint is mostly dry dump all the bags out onto a paper plate to allow it to completely dry.

That really is all there is to it.

You can add some slices of the carrots and celery I have shown in past tutorials.
