The First Steps to Making Dolls House Miniature Furniture and Accessories

As you begin making doll house miniature furnishings you will become a doll house interior designer, a miniature home decorator, and a miniatures furniture maker all rolled into one. How cool is that?

Each of us have our own specialty as to our involvement in miniatures. Some like to build room boxes or miniature dioramas and decorate them. Others are into making the dolls house miniature flowers, creating miniature floral arrangements. I like to design my own miniature furniture and the mini crafts that fill the table tops of my doll house furniture. Whatever you like the best, there is a place for your creative juices to flow.

Before we can go forging ahead though, there are a few things we should do first. You will need a place to build miniatures, tools to make your minature with, and some basic supplies. So lets see what they are...
