So far, I made a little variety of tiny (Barbie-sized) foods that relate to the K pop demon hunters movie. I'm hoping I will have some time to figure out some more food ideas - because they are so much fun. Maybe some soda pop? I have a few ideas, but I want to get the general boxes ready first - then I can always add to them.

Prepared Food
I noticed when I got my pills lately, they packed them in such cute little compartments. Almost look like tiny Barbie-sized tupperware containers, or maybe like a precooked meal you'd buy at a grocery store.

- I saved my pill containers - the used ones and empty ones. I filled the containers with little bits of the kid's playdough and anything I could find that looked like it could be food.
- Once filled - I put clear packing tape over the top for a see-through lid. Then I trimmed off the excess tape.
- I cut out some price tags and various labels from flyers (like... 'on sale' or 'fresh' ..etc).
- I printed out some tiny nutrition content labels and bar codes that I found on the internet. (They are going to be too tiny to read anyways - so I just put random labels on a paper and printed - I wasn't fussy about how to scale them down properly and retain the quality.)
- I glued them on with a glue gun.
- Some of the containers don't have any pills inside - so the lids are intact. In those cases, I just poked a little hole in the top and stuffed cut up elastic bands (they make cute noodles) and covered up the hole with a food label. (So in other words - they don't have a clear top)

| From a little grocery store I made for my granddaughter's barbies |
- I searched around the internet and at various store sites, I found some cute little shrimp chip bags and juice containers with demon hunters. I put them on pages, made pdfs and printed them out at the library. Again - I didn't use any special program to scale them to mini size. I just save the picture from the random store, and put the small pics on a page in Word.
- I arranged them on the page so they'd have a front and a back when folded (so you'd have to do the back side upside down)
- I cut the chip bags out in pairs (a front and a back) and put clear packing tape over the top. Then I trimmed them. This makes them look shiny - like a proper package of chips.
- I folded the chip bags in half
- Glued the 2 sides (hot glue gun)
- Filled the little bag with bits of kleenex
- Then glued the top shut
- Did a final trim and cut the tops using jagged scissors
Healer Han Juice Containers
- The juice containers fold sideways instead of up and down. (So you'll have the juice boxes side by side and they'll both be right side up). I just arranged them that way because that's how they fit on my paper. Each page is 50 cents at the library, so I wanted to fit in as much as I could.
- I put clear packing tape over the outside, then trimmed them
- I bought a package of stick pins at the dollar store. I wanted a round top. The pins seemed a little long and I didn't want any of the kids to poke themselves, so I clipped the pins down.
- I glued the bottom of the stickpin to the inside of the juice container and glued a bit of kleenex as well (just so there's not any sharp edges). I used a hot glue gun.
- Now I glued the sides of the juice box and closed it
- I stuffed a few more bits of kleenex inside
- Then finally I glued the top closed (hot glue gun)

Noodle Containers

I made my own little mini noodle containers and printed them out at the library. I designed them in powerpoint. If you don't want to design your own, there are various sites with printouts (like esty) for purchase. They appear to be very inexpensive.
- I dabbed hot glue on the inside tips of the containers
- Once they were glued in a circle, I put a dab of hot glue on a tiny piece of wax paper
- I placed the noodle container on the dab of glue (This will be the bottom of the noodle container)
- I filled the container with bits of kleenex
- Once you reach the top, put a dab of hot glue in and around the edges, then place the lid on top
- Trim off the hot glue and wax paper from the bottom
- You can also cut up a few pieces of elastic (for noodles) and have them peeking out of the top of the noodle container
Hot sauce
Buldak Sauce 불닭 소스
- I made some hot sauce bottles from my eye drop containers.
- I put hot glue in the top and inserted a stick pin for the lid
- I cut off the bottom of the eye drop containers and put them on hot glue - then when they cooled I trimmed them.
- I printed a teeny label just on my home black and white printer - because its so tiny.
