Above is our handmade rolling pin, cookie dough and cardboard chopping block. |
Supply List for Rolling Pin & Sugar Cookie Dough:
- one recycled toilet paper roll
- oven-bake clay
- scrap cardboard
- red and tan acrylic paints
- faux wood shelf paper
- Mod Podge
- white school glue
- masking tape
- hot glue gun and hot glue
Step-by-Step Instructions:
- First it is best to acquire a set of mini cookie cutters so that you will be certain the sizes to be made to go with your cookie bake set. The set I have pictured here is vintage but it cost me no more than a few dollars. Each cutter measures no larger than an inch. These will make 'jumbo' sized cookies for our 18" dolls but that's o.k. The love cookies!
- I chose to use the star four our example but you can make as many sugar cookie cut-outs as you wish.
- For the sugar cookie dough, roll out oven-bake clay to the size you will need to surround the cookie and leave approximately 1/2 inch extra dough. This will ensure that the cookie dough can be played with and not broken as quickly.
- Cut out the sugar cookie using a mini cookie cutter. Remove it from the dough and bake both in the oven.
- For the rolling pin, cut a recycled toilet roll length-wise and then cut it down to approximately 2 1/2 inches in length.
- Roll the pin into a narrower shape and tape/glue in place.
- Draw around the end of each side of the rolling pin, cutting out these shapes from scrap cardboard.
- Glue the circle pieces to both ends of the tube. Let dry.
- Shape from the oven-bake clay, two reasonably identical handles. I made mine to look like the handles on the cookie cutters.
- Bake these as directed.
- Hot glue these to opposite ends of the doll rolling pin and paint. Finish with Mod Podge.
- Cut and cover the rolling pin with faux wood shelf paper.
- Paint the ends of the pin using a tan colored acrylic paint.
