Last night she came home and said “Mummy, I love it, did…

What do you think of the Pink Easter Bunny Dolls Mask I made? I originally made them for the Monster High Dolls, but as you can see they fit the Bratz dolls lovely.
Do you think girls would like to make these masks? I will have to have a think about trying to make them easier to make for children to create and do a little Easter Egg hunt with the dolls. What fun!
Check out my Monster High Dolls…
