Let's not get too hot and bothered!

After making the other doll camping items, one of the things that we felt we needed was a cooler.  We couldn't find anything suitable in our household items to use, until we found this tutorial on dolldiaries.com.  This camper is made from a few simple materials, a recycled tea box, of which we have an abundance, craft foam in two thicknesses and two colors.  We chose teal and white, a hot glue gun and scissors.  Additionally we used a grid mat, and lined rulers, but they aren't essential.
Thank you Anna for sharing this tutorial.  It was very easy to follow, the only hard part was not putting too much glue.  We decided to add a label to easily tell the front from the back as well.
Melody is so excited about the cooler because now her cold camping food and drinks will stay nice and cold!

She is ready to go out with the other girls and spend a few nights when they go camping again,  she is modeling a peplum top made from Erin Hentzel's book Doll Days and a double layer ruffle skirt my mom designed and made with her plastic rain boots.
