Close-up of the sunburst, twin rocker's paint example. Right, dolls posed with the rocker to show size is appropriate to Barbie dolls or Fashionistas. |
Again, this clothespin rocker, built for two, will require those of you who wish to make one like mine, to remove the springs from the clothespins before hot gluing it together.
I also used thin cardboard to mount both the seat and sunburst back together before gluing the arms and rocker feet to them. I did not remove this cardboard but covered it with decorative paper. This added support and strength to the rocker. See it clearly in the photos below.
Glue additional wooden skewers between the arms for design detail and to also strengthen the entire construction if you wish.
I painted the twin rocker seat and back using acrylic sunburst colors: red, orange and yellow.
