How can I learn to make dollhouses and Dollhouse Furniture?
And where do they sell miniatures and stuff for this? I know my mother made a dollhouse once and she loved putting it together, but that was quite some time ago. Where could I research how to do this?
I have been making dollhouses and miniatures for many years! I have two right now. One is huge and some of the pieces I paid over a hundred dollars.
I even worked for a place part time to learn how to make metal pots, pans, silverware, etc.
Do a google search for miniatures and dollhouses (be careful with “dollhouse” though as a lot of porn sights use that term).
You can also find items in local craft stores like AC Moore, but the quality isn’t as good.
There are many books out there in hobby shops and libraries. I have made tons of stuff for mine.
There used to be a magazine called “Nutshell News” which showed how to make many items. I got a whole collection (about 100) at a garage sale two years ago.
You can also look on Craig’s list to see if anyone is getting rid of their old collections. Dollhouses were very popular about 6 years ago.
As I said I worked for a company, we went to a convention in Chicago which was fantastic. There were hundreds of people there.
Good luck and Happy Miniaturing!
