How to make Kit’s Reporter Set
Our Kit received a surprise present for her birthday! A replica of her Reporter Set! It’s not an exact match, but our Kit loves it and it’s very special to her. It took me a couple of trial runs to get the camera to where I was happy with it. Now that I am done, I have to admit that I LOVE it! I hope you enjoy this project as much as I did. The best part is now I’m done and we have another special piece to add to our collection!
I want to give a BIG shout out to a few of my Facebook Doll Friends. They took up close pictures of Kit’s Reporter Set so I could see details of the camera, film, etc. That really helped me complete this project.
Also, the printables I made for this craft are not identical to Kit’s, but they are close enough to reflect hers. For the newspaper, regular printer paper will be fine to use. However, for the pictures and Kodak film box printables, be sure to load card stock. You don’t want them to be flimsy!
Materials Needed:
Printables-
- Kit’s Reporter Set Printables

Camera-
- Mini Popsicle Sticks
- Black Ribbon or elastic
- Craft Paint
- Wood Glue
- Hot Glue

Hi, I'm Rudy! I'm a young mom of three beautiful kids, two girls and one boy. Our life is busy and full of crafts, especially for our American Girl Dolls. We love working together to create new things and we hope you enjoy our creations also!
This is Launa Loofers. She is crazy all the time and is an amazing gymnast. In fact, we started this blog on her ideas for her dolls to be gymnasts just like her! 
This is my handsome little man. He is the only boy in this house full of girls and dolls. He is a good sport though. He loves his 'boy American Girl dolls' and his action figures. And is always right in the mix of craft time creations!
Lexie is full of fun and always has a smile on her face. She is the youngest, but don't let that fool you, she has a BIG opinion!
My Kit will LOVE this craft! Thanks Rudy!
We love to hear that!
My sister has this set and it your craft is just like the real one! How crafty! I don’t have the supplies for the camera and pouch, but I think I’ll make the rest as a Christmas gift for some friends.
I already made my list of supplies. Want to try this next week.
You make the best crafts! I love your blog! Cute, cute!!
Thank you thank you thank you!
My favorite part is how the stacked square buttons take the look of the accordion part of Kit’s camera! You are so creative!
Isn’t that adorable?! I stood in the bead isle at Michael’s for what seemed like forever trying to decide between which bead to use!!!
