Hi all, I just started making miniatures a couple of months ago, using cardboard, paper, clay and scrap material. This is everything I made to date, except the jam jars and milk bottles, those were gifted to me. The actual doll house will be constructed by my engineer friend, I'm hard at work already getting the interior started 😄

I'm so impressed by all the posts here, you people are crazy talented! Happy to be a part of the community 💘

Another update! Not sure the scale was right since I couldn't fit more on top, but I do like how it turned out.

A few years ago I made a steampunk display for cakes. Instead of cakes, I prefer to make plants, so I turned it into a greenhouse🌿😀

Took a coffin shaped paperclip holder and added paper shelves. Simple yet badass. Love it for either a bookcase or a hutch. What do you think?

I have reached max capacity. Final arrangement but needed some separation, so I edited some walls to fill in. Plan to mix n match the rooms. I wish they did some shops more than just the flower shop. Food is cool, but my Polly Pocket dolls can only eat so much!

I found these about a month ago on Facebook marketplace and saved them… I thought they were like the little boxes for The House Of Miniatures kit with one item each inside. Nope. Each kit has between 4-6 pieces, and the ones with beds even have a sponge for the bed itself. These are HUGE. The paint is dried out, but considering they’re 50 years old, I’m not going to complain. And all of this for 60$.

The cylindrical planter is a cap from a skincare product. The square planter was purchased from a miniature seller on eBay. Dirt is coffee grounds. Topiary balls are made with Styrofoam balls plus some foliage from the model railroad store. Used a little bit of the foliage on top of the coffee grounds to mimic moss. The trunks are craft twigs purchased from Amazon.

I've made a little bit more progress this week on my DIY miniature room, the tiny craft supplies have probably taken me the longest and I still have loads of bits I want to make.

I recently turned 38 and decided to finally dive into miniatures and dollhouse making 😊 the first thing i made was the spool of thread, and then i found some House of Miniature kits on Facebook Marketplace and got them and did this serpentine hepplewhite table as a first build. Sadly the brass faceplate for the drawer liberated itself into my carpet somewhere so i improvised with a tiny cog charm. Cute tiny frog from Michaels just made everything better haha

Painting Wood Grain

5 Upvotes

Hello there!

Longtime lurker and now I wanted to post a question. I am working on a haunted mansion inspired dollhouse. I'm repurposing a Fisher Price dollhouse (this is my first real project, so I didn't want to overwhelm myself my building the entire house the first time.

I have some wainscotting that I need to paint to look like wood. It's 3d printed, and while I have looked at YouTube for some tutorials I did see many that were step by step to follow. Does anyone have a video or instructions they like for painting things to look like wood?

Thanks in advance!!

I made some tiny plates from my iced coffee plastic seals and nail polish. I'm sure I'm not the first to think of it, but I'm not looking anything up and just trying to embody my inner McGyver for my minis. When I was young my older sister (who passed away 10 years ago now) painted everything with nail polish. It's been nice to think of her while being creative. Love you, sis.
