How to craft a toast rack for your doll's kitchen . . .

This toast rack was made for our American Girl Doll's 
breakfast table. 

     You can craft a playful toast rack for your doll's kitchen table using recycled cardboard, paper, white school glue and sandpaper for the toast of course... Use decorative papers or acrylic paints to match the design of the toast rack to your doll's kitchen.

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Make the pretend toast first for the dolls so that the toast rack may be measured to hold the bread slices perfectly. Generally speaking a slice of bread is just slightly larger than the hand of the doll you are making it for. So use a ruler to determine this measurement against the doll's hand. 
2. Cut out as many slices as you like from the scrap cardboard; I decided to craft six slices for the example toast rack craft. 
3. Layer several cardboard toast cuts together with white school glue. Let dry.
4. Next position the toast shapes on top of brown sandpaper and draw around the shapes to make stencils of the toast to glue on the outsides of every piece. This texture makes the bread slices feel as though they have been dried out from toasting.
5. To make the rack to display your breakfast toast, cut out a length of cardboard for the bottom of the rack and two identical end pieces and five divider pieces to position between each slice of toast. 
6. Glue all of these pieces together as seen in the photo example here. 
7. Once the rack is dry you may then decoupage colorful papers to cover the segment parts of the toast rack.
8. Brush on a layer or two of Mod Podge to seal the toast rack for play.
