I discovered this charming little oven at resale. It is just the right size for 18" dolls. However, there was something strange about it; the door to the oven did not open, huh? It was screwed shut, like some factory worker had fallen asleep at his job and left this little misfit toy to despair, never to be played with properly. What child wants a toy oven that has a door that can not be opened for the necessary baking of plastic dinners? No child that I have ever met would tolerate such toy profanity!
I decoupaged the inside of the now detached door front using white cardboard so that the oven interior was all the same white color. Then I reattached the door front with the lowest screws at the base of the oven so that the door would swing open for play. Now that the factory flaw is fixed, some child's doll may 'bake' whatever she wishes! The toy is no longer an unloved misfit toy!
Misfit toys want so badly to be loved, why not
fix them up for your dolls to cherish?
