I originally
planned on turning one of the GSL Corner Room Boxes into a Honeydukes
candy shop but changed my mind when I saw the Rotating 4 Scene Room Box. (Alpha stamps) After making a
candy themed clock and Honeydukes display I realized I had way too
many fun candy shop ideas to fit into a single room. Here's what I
came up with.
The room box has
a base, two interlocking pieces that make up the walls of the rooms,
an 'X' shaped piece that goes at the top and four rectangular pieces
that fit on the wall edges. It also comes with a lazy susan
turntable to spin it. I painted all of the surfaces that weren't
going to be papered with a base coat of gesso then a cream colored
acrylic paint. The piece was assembled using tacky glue.
I chose the
black and cream Checkers paper from Graphic 45's Mother Goose
collection for all of the room's floors.
The papers I
used for the walls were Recollections Light Pink Stripes, Bo Bunny
The Avenues, Imaginisce Hey Foxy and a pink and white Random Dot from
Paper Studio.
The baseboards
were made from tongue depressors. I used cutters to get them to
size. A sanding block took the rough edges off. They were then
painted cream and glued into place.
I used Super
Glue to adhere the turntable to the bottom before I started the
decorating process.
The Honeydukes
display case was placed into the pink striped room. I made a small
wall shelf from one of the Mini Shadowbox Set boxes. I painted it to
match the display case and filled it with jars of poly clay cane
slices and some giant peppermint lollipops made from glass beads and
wire.
The clock was
given it's own space that I decorated with Ella & Viv candy heart
papers from their Candy Land Tray set into resin frames. The pink
pots are holding snippets of plastic flowers.
I knew I wanted
to have a quiet space for the students to do their homework. That's
the GSL Table & 2 Chairs 1:12 with a scrap of felt as seat
cushions. I glued a hook on the wall for a student's owl cage. The
'Shhh' sign is made from free clip art I found online.
The table has a
tea pot, two cups, a jar of candy (of course) and two miniature
books.
The last room
was inspired by many of the places I took my girls when they were
little. Lots of places that kids hang out have birthday party
celebration rooms so I added one at my version of Honeydukes. The
presents are made from papered wooden blocks and tiny bows, the cake
is made of polymer clay, the heart balloons are made from acrylic
vase filler hearts glued onto floral wire. The banner was printed
using a Harry Potter font and glued onto baker's twine, held in place
by heart shaped buttons.
I hope you were
transported along with me, thanks for stopping by!
