Cool Beans

If I were still drawing a paycheck, this would be mine.

I love this stuff.  It's so cool to see what people made with what they had.


I am not sure what size doll would fit in it, but I would find one of my collection that would work.

That is so cool. Easily done if you have enough wooden spools. I think you might even be able to buy wooden spools now that thread doesn't come on them anymore. Sorta like popsicle sticks. You can get popsicle sticks in the craft section now.

You can see how they did it. Cut some very thin plywood (I'd use Luan) for the sections. These days you can get mylar or a plastic to use instead of the tin for the mirror.

Depression era. Very creative. You can't duplicate the patina.

How precious.

Ha! I knew it.

Wooden spools for crafts.
