Mini Swing

Kids love miniatures of everything that they see in the world around them, be it dolls, cars, cup plates, even a mini house. These mini things appeal to them more as they feel it's perfect with respect to their size! So I thought lets try and make this version of a mini swing for the dolls to enjoy :)

Things required:-

1. Empty cornflakes box (or any rectangular box)
2. Another smaller box or biscuit box
3. Some craft paper sheets
4. Craft thread
5. A pair of scissors
6. A piece of cloth
7. Glue

  First let's wrap the big box with a craft paper of your choice.

Take the smaller box and cut it into a chair like shape, like this

Punch two holes on the upper side of both the armrests.

Now we need to make five paper sticks for the supporting structure. And two small ones.

Glue two of them on either edges of the box to form a triangle shape.

To make this structure steady add another small paper stick in the middle to for an "A" shape.

Fix a small rectangular piece of paper on top of the triangle and let the glue dry for sometime.

Let's measure the height of this "A" shaped support structure and cut two pieces of the craft thread just short of this height. Take the swing seat and insert one end of the craft thread in the hole we made earlier and tie a knot. Insert the other end in the 2nd hole on the same armrest. Do this on both sides.

 

Now let's take the 5th paper stick and insert the thread loops in it. Glue it on top of the "A" structure, like this,

 Take the piece of cloth and measure the seat and cut. Stick it on the swing to make it look pretty.

The swing is ready! And now, it's time for the dolls to try it out!

Now this look is making me want to become a child again and play with the dolls too!
