Experimenting With Bleaching & Dying Miniature Trees Take One

It worked, it totally worked! I soaked the first batch in half bleach and half very hot tap water. The color came out almost immediately. I wanted these to be really white so I left them to soak over night. They rusted. So this afternoon I put three more in the same solution for 30 minutes and pushed them around with an old plastic utensil to help the color and snow dissolve off. Much better result. I rinsed in cool tap water really well. Shake off the excess water fluffed them. Now I am just waiting on them to dry before I play with Easter and cake dyes.

Dollhouse Scrap Pot Holder Tutorial (Real Life Scale)

How cute are these?! Nanette over at "Freda's Hive" shows you how to make these adorable dollhouse potholders. Wouldn't a quilt for a little girl be just lovely. With oodles of ribbon roses and lace curtains. Or how about using this pattern to decorate a dollhouse dustcover. You could just sew the cover and fusible web the houses onto it. What I like best of all is it uses up your leftover scraps. Thank you Nanette for sharing!!! Click here to go straight to the tutorial .

Enjoy!
