At Home Disney Projects

Post by Princess Susi » Fri Jul 25, 2008 12:26 pm

Found a fun site where you can while away your hours. (and we all know everyone has copious free time, right? :rolleyes: )

Here are some cool projects to make, some are more difficult than others. I would like to attempt the Sleeping Beauty Castle...maybe...we'll see...it is on the difficult end of things with LOTS and LOTS of tiny pieces....eek!

Also if you look at the sidebar, you will see a link entitled "projects". Click on that and there you will find even more fun projects, like how to make Mickey Pancakes WITHOUT a cut-out frame to cheat with. Check it out. There are some fun things to do there.

They look great, but too hard for me! Let us know how they come out!

I am with Ms. Matterhorn. Cool but not for me. I have the artistic ability and craftiness of a 3 toed sloth.

Thanks for putting that link up. I have been trying to remember the name of that site forever. They had some great fonts on there at one point. I will have to go look and see if they are still there.

As for the models. I have a half finished DL marquee(sp?) sign that I need to find the dowel rods for.
And one of these days I will get to putting the cornices on the Haunted Mansion I have sitting on the top shelf of my desk. That came from http://www.haunteddimensions.raykeim.com and is super awesome in the way accuracy. Had to pull down Madame Leota's tombstone to look at the site name. I have the whole bit up there including the crypts.
Ray also has/had a model of the tower outside POTC too. Yeah, I got that up there too. :D: I had a lot of spare time at one point...OK? :rolleyes:

Remind me to take a pic at some point so y'all can see them.

HINTS IF YOU DECIDE TO MAKE ONE::::::::::
use tiny pointy embroidery scissors to cut details out. They work great at getting in all the bitsy areas. I use Aileen's tacky glue as an adhesive and a toothpick to apply


OH....I used that site to learn how to make the Mickey pancakes. They come out super cute but are a bit of a PITA to get just right. I tend to usually lose an ear. (mickey's ear--not mine, you weirdos...LOL) Use batter sparingly on the eyes and nose. It works better.
