18 Inch Doll Sushi Bar
It was fun and easy to put together this sushi bar for my granddaughter and her friend's 18 inch dolls.
I went to Hobby Lobby during their sale on craft wood items.
I picked up one of their unfinished plaques and dowels as shown below.
Buy two of the 5/8 inch dowels with the red paint on the ends and cut four table legs with each measuring10 inches in length. You will have some extra left over.
Space measure and drill four partial holes 3/8 of an inch deep as shown in photo.
Place the legs into the drilled holes and make sure the bar is level.
I used the Alizrian Crimson from the student Liqutex line at Hobby Lobby for the color on the sushi bar. You can wait until these are half off during their sales.
Here you see I painted the legs first before gluing them in with the Gorilla Glue below. The Japanese style paper for the top of the bar is from the Birdsong line over at Graphic 45 Papers. The entire line has beautiful papers to choose from. You can use any scrapbook type paper you choose. Cut the paper to fit on top of the bar table and Mod Podge it down smoothly with no wrinkles or puckers. Do not Mod Podge over the top of the paper to the bar table until the paper is completely dry underneath the paper and the edges are glued down all around the top.
Next, glue the dowels into the drilled holes under the bar table.
Make sure your sushi bar is level. Glue the legs into place and if desired, at this point you can spread a coat of Mod Podge over the top of the design paper and let it all dry overnight.
One of the My Life extras over at Walmart featuring the Roman Dinner Play Set I picked up in the clearance isle. Sometimes this is in the store, but you can order Japanese play food at Walmart online too.
