I saw this bed on-line at a full-size furniture site and thought it would be a good candidate for card stock. For this tutorial I am making a twin size. You can adjust the size for whatever you need, the instructions would be the same. I hope to have a picture of it painted by the end of this blog, I am waiting for the glue to dry. We are going to make the mattress and box spring first. I was lucky when I found this fabric, I shop Goodwill for fabrics I can use. I saw this shirt and thought…

A great way to give your dollhouse charm is by making your own fireplace mantel. It's very easy to do. And you can make it any size you want. You will need one thin wood veneer. I have 1/16 x 4 x 24" bass from Hobby Lobby. For your tools you will need a glue gun, ruler, pencil, white glue, sand paper. And a sharp utility knife. This one has a snap off blade so you always have a sharp edge. I bought it at Home Depot. The first piece to cut out is the back of the mantel. Mine is 4 1/4" tall x…

This week I have been at my workbench, beavering away at three different creative projects at the same time........below I can show you a hint of each! Robin Britton, my Nostalgia In Miniature Workshops partner and I have been asked to write a "show how to make" project for a UK dolls house magazine. It is still in the very early stages but lets just say that it will be in the same style that our vintage garden workshop projects are based on ie. vintage, weathered and realistic! We finally…

I finally found some time to make this piece I have been thinking about! I managed to take some photos during the process. I hope...

This is Thatch Cottage in the making... I made a little armchair from old card and some floral fabric, below you can see how I did it. I began by taking the size from another 1/12th scale chair, then I cut out some cardboard and created the basic shape. The first section of cardboard. Now add a section of card for the seat. I padded the arms and the back and even the front at the base. I then covered the back of the chair with floral fabric. I made a little cushion. I padded the arms. I…
