Large Barn


llvonk

This is the barn I made for my friend. It has a tack room, two stalls, and a feed room. The whole building, except for the floor, is made of craft sticks. The floor is heavy duty double layer cardboard. There is a hose and water faucet included on the right, next to the feed room, and a tie rail by the tack room.

Thanks for posting your barn. Can't wait for Twinkle to get home from school and have a look at your pictures. She'll be quite interested being a horse gal and all.

Thank you all. I made this to fit Traditional Series Breyers and Breyer Dolls. They consider them to be 1/9th scale so I guess that's the scale the barn is too. I have to admit, I love working with popsicle sticks. LOL This seems such a perfect play size to me. One of these days, when I get the right kind of cutter, I want to make one where all the round ends are cut off so it looks even more real. Right now, it's too hard to cut the ends off so I limit how much I do that.

You made this for a friend? You are a very nice friend to have.

By the way, I like the round-ended popsicle sticks. One of my only pleasant memories with glue was when I made a square popsicle basket at a backyard, neighborhood Bible school camp as a kid, so I have a genuine fondness for those sticks.

Thank you all again! I'm so happy you all think I did a good job, that means a lot to me because I've seen some of the stuff you guys make....

Selkie, that's my next buy. I can't wait to get it. It should save my poor fingers a bunch! ;-)

Rackey, it's amazing the fond memories we can enjoy from the simple pleasures we had crafting as children. Not a lot of kids do that anymore. I make a point of teaching my kids, nieces and nephews, and grandkids how to do simple crafts as they don't get it anywhere else anymore... Not even in school. (Along with outside old fashioned games) Sad really. And they love it. They all clamour to come to our house on weekends and all summer. I have kids here more now than I did when ours were little.
