| Imani can't wait to get this bright yellow, front loading washer and dryer set home! Each have digital panel features and tiny dials made from buttons! |
Barbie's laundry room at our blog home is growing daily, so as you may well guess, the doll's are eager to use this newly crafted, washer and dryer set.
You can make a set just like ours but you will need to wait for mom and dad to bake quite a few pancakes, cakes and pies in order to recycle containers like ours! Perhaps you can convince them to save the cornstarch in a different plastic container?
Supply List:
- two identical Argo Corn Starch containers
- cardboard
- masking tape
- aluminum tape (or grey duck tape)
- two identical tin lids from frozen juice cans
- an assortment of buttons
- hot glue gun and hot glue
- pictures of water and tumbling cloths from a magazine
- Mod Podge
- white school glue
- Wash out the contents of each plastic recycled corn starch container.
- Soak the outside of the containers in warm water and dish detergent to remove the labels.
- Dry these off thoroughly.
- Screw the lids back on or save these for another project like I did, and cut a round piece of cardboard the same size as the opening to tape across and seal.
- Now use the masking tape to cover the entire area where the lids screw on the containers.
- You can cover this area with aluminum tape if you'd like.
- Turn the containers upside down so that these tops become the foot parts of the washer and dryer.
- Hot glue the tin lids from the frozen juice containers onto the front of both yellow boxes to mimic the doors of your front loaders.
- You can cut out water and clothing pictures from a magazine to fit inside the window parts of your round doors.
- Glue these to the interior of the round tins and Mod Podge over them.
- Now shape the cardboard panels with glue and tape to fit onto the top edges of each yellow machine. Then hot glue them in place.
- Search through your buttons to configure dials/controls to hot glue in place on top of the silver panels.

| Far left, I saved these two corn starch boxes because of their shape and bright color for this project. Middle, you can see that I was thinking here whether or not to make them top loading or front loading. Right, I shaped two top panels for the controls, dials and buttons from cardboard and masking tape. Then, I hot glued these to the top edges of each appliance. |
