Fake Bake Large Ice Cream Cones

I found some really fun ice cream containers while thrifting and knew I had to turn them into a collection of fake bakes. Here's how:

Here is how the containers looked when I found them, three at $1.99 each. I think they are supposed to be either drink cups or ice cream bowls, I'm not sure!

Using foam balls, I cut a bit from the bottom and hot glued them onto the containers. I used more than half of each ball so that the ice cream would have a full, rounded look.

Using a spatula I smeared on joint compound to look like ice cream.

This brand goes on pink and dries white.

Here is one fully dry. The texture is nice, but the color was a little too white for me.

Using an acrylic paint in Antique White made the ice cream look a little more appealing.

While the paint was drying on the scoops, I made up some faux cherries. These are just tiny foam balls painted in Hot Rod Red.

Every good ice cream cone needs whipped cream and a cherry on top! I spooned some more of the joint compound into an icing bag...

...and applied just like whipped cream. While the compound was still wet I added the faux cherries.

A few fake sprinkles onto the whip were the final touch.

And that's how I made my faux large ice cream cones!

They now live in my ice cream cabinet, which you can see here.

Pretend Play Laundry Containers

Last week I shared the laundry center of my playhouse shed, this week I'll show you how I made my pretend play laundry containers:

**********

I grabbed a few generic laundry bottles from the dollar store based on size and color. My playhouse doesn't need this many, but the colors were too pretty to pass up 😉

I used up the detergent/ softener inside, rinsed the containers and let dry.

Once the containers were dry, I carefully peeled the label off in one piece so that I could use it as a template...

...and traced the label onto sticker vinyl to make new labels in the color that I wanted. I first traced the label right side (picture side) up, then flipped it over and traced again upside down (sticky side up). This gave me stickers that would fit both the front and backs of the bottles.

Here the new stickers are in place. I decided to do a couple of the mini bottles as well, and just free handed those shapes.

I then used my Cricut to make some detailed stickers. The sticker pictured here (I fixed the spelling before applying 😄) went on the smaller bottles. For the larger bottles I spread the bubbles out a little bit...

...and stuck them on.

I kept all of the labels blue and gold so that they would coordinate with one another.

Here is the complete set, they look really cute in the laundry center!

Playhouse Laundry Center

**********

The Little Tikes First Washer/ Dryer currently retails for $56.99. I found this one at Goodwill for $11.99, and ordered a second from eBay for $45 (so two for the cost of one brand new). The laundry center is designed to be a washer and dryer, but I wanted my playhouse to have two separate appliances.

The center comes with an attached shelving unit on top and red door handle.

I removed the shelving unit to give a sleeker appearance...

...and repainted the door handle and knob in a pretty blue.

The door handle was a bit of a challenge to remove and replace as it contains multiple screws that have to line up properly. The knob was easy enough- just block off the surface you don't want painted (I used paper towels) and then spray paint in place.

For the fun part, I used my Cricut to cut vinyl stickers for the appliance doors. A "Loads of Suds" for the washer and a "Fluff and Fold" from this SVG Bundle.

I stacked the washer and dryer into the corner of my playhouse to create this adorable laundry center.

I'll have posts in the future detailing the custom detergent bottles, a clothesline and an overall tour of the finished playhouse. In the meantime, you can click here to see the shed's interior and furniture or here to see the decor. You can find similar laundry wall decor prints here and here.
