Replacement Crafts for The Our Generation Movie Theater

The completed concessions counter with crafted shelves, foods, baskets, candy etc...

       We set up the concession stand counter in our movie theater playset by using a pink bakery counter with transparent shelves found at resale. You can see below among the photos included there, how I altered the shelving to better display all of our doll's movie treats and foods.
       Shown above are three shelves of snacks: the top shelf is for boxed candy, the second shelf for fries, onion rings, sodas, nachos, hot dogs, pizza slices, sandwiches, and hamburgers. On the third and lowest shelf we included a transparent nail art divider from the local dollar store to display ice cream treats and beside this are two wire baskets for carrying food stuffs into the movie theater and then beside these are more boxes of Little Debbie cakes, Chips Ahoy and other treats crafted from printed grocery fliers and coupons included with mail.

       The Our Generation Movie Theater Accessories: working lights on the outside over the ticket booth, inside a place to put a cell phone to show movies, red curtains, enter and exist signs and two red, plastic theater seats with cup holders, and one concession counter.

Left, the recycled transparent bakery counter. I clipped photos of credit cards to glue to the
 inside wall of the counter top where the cash register will be positioned in the future. In the
 U. S. stickers of credit cards are often displayed on counter glass to show what may be
used at the register. Right, are the ice cream treat erasers, doll sized, used inside of nail
 art caddy for the lowest shelf display.

Left, are boxed candies often sold in movie theaters in the U.S. These were glued directly
on the cardboard shelf so that it would appear to be full at all times. Then I made a few
loose candy boxes for the dolls to purchase and carry away as seen in the right hand
photo. All of this printed candy was cut from grocery fliers and glued to tiny pieces of
 cardboard. It is legal to craft items like these if they are for personal collections, otherwise
 not for sale. The logos are owned by private companies and should not be sold or
 redistributed for profit.

Left, are more food erasers included as props in our movie theater display. Right, are the
 hand woven baskets for our dolls to carry snacks and food to their theater seats. 

Left, I glued together drinking cups with lids and straws using cut cardboard pieces from
 paper egg cartons. Then I covered these with paper, fancy tissue and glue. Right are the
 nacho trays made from the same materials. The nachos themselves are sculpted from
oven back clay, painted with acrylics and the cheese drizzled over the top is puff paint.

Left and center, is a shelf cut from cardboard and build permanently in the shape of an
wedge as is the candy shelf displayed at the top of the page. This wedge shape keeps all
 of the tiny food items stacked neatly inside of the display. Right, are a few boxes I
constructed to display french fries and also soda cups with straws. All of the shelf paper
 and paper condiments are decoupaged with the same star themed tissue paper. 

Left, see the credit card cut-outs I found in a old magazine to tape with transparent packing
 tape to the inside of the display case. This is often done in real life at many places where
 credit cards are sold in the United States and Europe. Right, is a close-up of the food as
seen through the plastic casing.
