Hello hello! Welcome to a month+ project ive been working on :)

When I got my corpse bride doll I really wanted to keep the box and use it! I paid $60, I can do what I want. So I decided to try and make a playset or something to that effect and this is what i came up with

It truly was a labor of love and I almost didnt finish it lmao. I used materials i had on hand such as foam board, wooden skewers, doll accessories, lights, ect

A few things are crocheted and some are sewn but most things are hot glued.

I have some things I gotta work on to fully call it finished but I got impatient lmao. I gotta make her a bag, a crochet work in progress and a working parasol (which i will work on the parasol on a different date entirely)

Im not sure how long this took period but I know it was a few months.

Everything is made for storage! The box can fully close so it can be taken places. The closet can hold the doll with wiggle room aswell as the bench opening up for extra storage (thank my froggie stuff for that idea). The bone detailing at the top was made specifically for hand made hangers! I tried to add the bone motif around the box aswell as some butterflies for fun. The drawers had to be remade because it was impossible to grab, but its fixed. ALSO the right drawer can hold jewlery and earrings! I made the majority of the box have divits to be able to push rings and what not into (yes it actually works lmao)

The pink throw is actually a heccin big blanket i sewed. It can either be used as a throw, a rug or a proper blanket. I was gonna make a bed but that kinda failed

Originally I tried to make the closet side a hidden bookcase! Sadly nothing i did worked and the storage wouldn't have fit so it was scrapped :,(

Honestly i wish the skullector boxes had more so people could use them for play, but thats just me

What do you think? How did i do? If you have any questions dont be afraid to ask lmao

Honestly if I get another skullector I might do the same thing for their box, but we shall see :)

If anyone wanted to do something similar you have full premission to lmao, I dont own the copyright of making a box into a more usable box
