How Do You Make Miniatures For Dollhouses?
Building dollhouse furniture can be part of the appeal of having a dollhouse. Children who like dollhouses often like decorating and rearranging the furniture. You can buy nearly any miniature household item at a toy store or craft supply outlet. Dollhouse furniture can also be made from items found around the house. Customize the look of your furnishings with scraps of fabric, paint, markers and broken pieces of jewelry. Children can make miniature dollhouse furniture alone, or with their friends and family. Cut a kitchen sponge to the size desired. One sponge can make a full-sized bed and two twin beds. Glue a layer of stuffing to the top of the sponge. A bag of batting from the sewing store will go a long way in making miniatures for your dollhouse. Glue craft sticks to the sides of the sponge. Cut to fit as necessary. Place craft sticks vertically to make a headboard. Hold sticks in place while drying by wrapping the bed with pipe cleaners. Leave the pipe cleaners on the headboard
