DIY Doll Dairy for Play

Above are milk carton types and butter
sticks, one whole and the other sliced.
      Shown in photos here are the extra dairy foods that I made for our 18" doll kitchen refrigerator. 
       To make the pretend bottled milk, I filled two mini glass bottles with white paint and then sealed the openings with hot glue. I then wrapped the outer edges with tape and a cardboard tops to make simple lids. The lids were then painted with a grey acrylic paint.
       I crafted the box shaped milk carton using cardboard, white paint, and a milk label cut from a grocery flier. Then I Mod Podged the surface to make it durable for play.
       The small butter trays are cut from cardboard and the butter is shaped from Sculpey and painted a creamy, pale yellow color. Then the surfaces are also sealed with Mod Podge. These butter sticks fit perfectly in the door butter compartments of our doll's refrigerator. 
       Below are the cheeses sculpted from oven-bake clay and painted to resemble cheddar and Swiss cheese varieties. I also picture the slices of Swiss and cheddar cut from Fun Foam and wrapped in tiny plastic bags. The shredded faux cheese is also meticulously cut from a yellow foam sheet as well.

Left, are the sculpted cheeses and butter prior to painting. 
Right, are the finished versions of foam cheese slices, painted cheese
bricks and shredded cheese for pretend doll recipes.
