Pimp My Playset

I finally got around to pimping out Briar Beauty's playset.  I found some paper mache roses in the scrapbooking section of Michael's and I hot glued them to the one-dimensional roses on the background cardboard pieces.  I used gold glitter glue to light the candles on her chandelier and I added some dangling crystals for effect.  I cut up a fake ivy sprig from the fake flower section at Michaels and I squished them down the cracks in the wall joints so there is some added 3-dimensional effects there as well.  Then I took two graduated sizes of crystals and pimped out Apple's chaise lounge and I removed the hideously fake paper DJ sound-system thingy from the right side of the playset and turned that into Apple's dorm room.  Briar Beauty and Apple are my two LEAST favorite characters in the entire EAH world but for whatever reason they are the characters Mattel is pushing so we have cool stuff for them.  I found the "Getting Fairest" dolls on Amazon for $11 each and their arrival, along with their little side tables, is what inspired this episode of Pimp My Playset.  Pics below.
