Building more shoe shelves for dolls

Ever opportunity I get I make a few more shelves for doll shoes. I found so many used doll shoes to which there was no doll. I think I have a used doll shoe store in the making.

This batch of shelves works for larger shoes like Monster  High, Ever After High, Liv doll, Bratzilla, and DC Zora, just to name a few. I had the shoes sorted by doll but it was too irresistible to leave them in the bags. I just had to display them.

I got tired of the shoes falling over so I put a vertical piece of wood to hook the heels over. Still not all shoes have heels. Some of the shoes get tucked behind the vertical piece.

 I am currently holding the shelves up with pieces of kindle wood. Not quite what I want the final pieces to look like. Plus I need to do a bit of sanding around the rough edges.

 I'm also debating whether to paint, stain or leave the raw finish. 

I made this little Realpuki doll some more of my hand painted eyes. I found some 1/12th scale shoes and outfits for a buck a package. They were so cute and I figured I could use them for tiny dolls. I tried to get my Realpuki's feet in them and they were just the right size, but only get stuck way down in the shoe. I would either need to cut the shoe or leave the foot inside. I put tiny magnets in the bottom and removed the feet of the doll. Placed the magnetic legs down in the shoes to make them stick to the magnet. I glued the magnets in the correct orientation making the shoes permanently Realpuki shoes. I just thought the roller skates were perfect for the doll. The doll is happy for sure. The other thing about the doll I discovered was the hands easily come loose. I had been keeping the doll in a baggie so as not to lose any of the magnetic parts. Then I realized the magnets weren't flush and meeting exactly level inside the hands. I put super tiny magnets in each hand to shim them a bit and they are very strong now. I don't remember the size of the magnets right off the top of my head but they can be bought in almost any size and number at reasonable prices on Amazon.
