Amali Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 Here are some pictures of the many toys I've made Amali so far. I order almost all of my parts from California Bird Nerds. Great prices and good service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Life is Greyt Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 Those look great!! Is that just a roll of normal tp on the one toy? I have seen other people do this, and was thinking of doing it too. Your little fid is a very spoiled little girl-as she should be!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amali Posted November 16, 2011 Author Share Posted November 16, 2011 It is actually an adding machine paper roll. Cheap and she loves it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest danielsingh Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 HI Amali, Awesome ideas and thanks for the pics, i just want to ask which paint do u use on these and what is the type of wood u use. thanks ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amali Posted March 9, 2012 Author Share Posted March 9, 2012 (edited) For all colored pieces, I use the food coloring that is intended for cake decorating/frosting. I just paint it straight on with a paint brush and allow to air dry. You can buy it at most any craft store. Mainly I use pine for all of my toys. I've used softer woods on occasion (especially when Amali was younger), but she tears through that way too fast now! I order a lot of my parts - including quick links - from California Bird Nerds. A link to the stainless steel links - http://cabirdnerds.com/ssplj.html - and they also carry nickel plated (zinc free) hardware. I have ordered from this website a ton of times and have no complaints at all. They always throw a little surprise in the box which is nice Edited March 9, 2012 by Amali Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Softer than pine? Cork? I'll have to try the adding machine paper - if I can find it. Does anyone still use such a critter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amali Posted March 27, 2012 Author Share Posted March 27, 2012 Softer than pine - balsa wood. We don't waste time or money on that anymore though! Ha! As an accountant, I still come across adding machines. You can get the rolls of paper just about anywhere - Walmart, Sam's Club, Office Depot. Pulling that paper off the roll and then shredding it at the bottom of her cage is one of Amali's favorite daily activities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
