How to Make an American Girl Mixer

How to make an American Girl Mixer has been a highly requested craft ever since Grace came out. Seriously, we have been thinking about crafting a mixer since January, but the craft just didn’t come together….until now! Since we have been following along in the Read and Create book for Grace that we got at Costco, we decided to replicate the mixer that is in the craft book. However, once we completed the craft the book gave us, we just weren’t feeling it. It didn’t wow us, so we changed it. We hope you like it and we can’t wait to see the inspired ones you come up with!

Materials Needed:

Foam Letter L or J *or wooden
Craft foam *or wooden block
Aluminum Duct Tape *Regular will work also
Scissors
Glue
Button and Beads
Lid or Carton Ring *mine is from a milk jug

TIPS:

If you don’t have craft foam for the base, you can substitute with a heavy card stock, cardboard, foam board, etc. It’s not a deal breaker.
We use aluminum duct tape in a lot of our crafts. Regular duct tape will work just fine, but we love the look the aluminum type gives. Perfect for stainless steel!
For those of you who can use tools (drill a hole) I also showed a wooden mixer in addition to the foam one.

Watch and give this video a thumbs up if you want us to make more!

  Great craft! This is WAY better than the mixer in Baking with Grace! I just need to find a letter J or L. Personally I prefer the L.

  The mixer made with the white wood letter L would also make a good sewing machine if you cut it shorter!

  What song did you use in this video? I like it a lot. I use iMovie to edit my AG videos, so I was wondering if it is a song that’s on there. If it is, please tell me what it’s called so I can use it in the future. Thanks! ~ Olivia
