How to Craft Button-Top Salt and Pepper Shakers for Dolls

Left to right: doll sized coffee grinder, toaster, salt and pepper shakers and butter.

        This has got to be the tiniest, cutest craft I have ever made for 18" dolls! It's so simple and quick to put together and that's a good thing too - because I can see how easy it would be to loose doll sized salt and pepper shakers.

3 Sample sets of button-top salt and pepper shakers.

 Supply List:

• a matching set of tiny buttons
• scrap cardboard
• white tacky glue
• masking tape
• decorative paper and /or tape
• acrylic paints black and white
  

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Cut and roll scrap cardboard to make two identical, pretend shakers. These may be 1/2 inch tall or shorter.
2. You can tear off a tiny bit of tape to hold these together in a tight curl.
3. The tiny shakers need to be level enough to stand freely on top of your doll's kitchen counter or table.
4. Dab onto one end a bit of tacky glue and position a button on top of each shaker.
5. Wrap and glue decorative paper or metal tape around each shaker for decoration. 
6. Paint the top of each shaker black or white. Black being for pepper and white for salt.
