Two sample toasters: one grey and square shaped and the other coral and oval shaped.

The supplies that you will need for this doll kitchen craft are: scrap cardboard, sandpaper, a black permanent marker, masking tape, white school glue, metal tape (optional), acrylic paints and Mod Podge. You will also need a silver or black button that looks like a 'dial'. for the toaster and hot glue to attach it with.
Step-by-Step Instructions:
- Both of our 18" doll toasters measure approximately 2 1/2" across by 2 1/2" tall. The grey version is constructed on top of a rectangular base and the coral version on top of an oval.
- There is a third wall in each that is glued between the outside walls so that two pieces of toast fit neatly inside each toaster for play.
- You will need to both tape and glue these small boxes into shape and let them dry over night.
- I made the tiny mechanical parts on the side of each toaster using cardboard and also a button for the temperature control. I opted to draw in details for the switch to be pulled down instead of putting in a real working switch and opening on the side panel.
- The surfaces are painted with acrylic colors of your choice; the two I chose are complementary to our own doll kitchen for 18" dolls.
- Cut and layer cardboard 'toast' slices to fit the openings.
- Glue on sandpaper to give your toasted bread a convincing finish.
- Paint the edges of the toast last.
- Mod Podge the finished toaster to make it durable for play.
- Cut more details from metal sticky tape to add on in the end if you wish.

See examples of cut toast, the sandpaper has been glued on but I still need to paint edges here.
