DIY Miniatures: Oil Lamp, Candle and Jewelry Tray

diy miniature oil lamp

After scouring Pinterest for ideas for a do it yourself oil lamp, I finally settled on a plan.  One, because it was the easiest and two, because I had all the parts.

The result.  I'm happy with it.

However, shortly after taking this picture, it fell apart.  I need to figure out a better glue.  What kind of glue do you use for tiny parts?

So I have an empty makeup tin, the kind you have left over after you've finished off the last of the blush or eye shadow.  I asked for suggestions and a cookie sheet was the most popular one.  But I wanted something different, so I tried for a jewelry tray.  However, I don't like it, so it might still end up as a cookie sheet.  What do you think?

And last but not least, a candle.

I used a couple of beads and cut the top off a birthday candle which I painted a more desirable color and glued them all together.

I like it and am considering making some more.

So there you have it, a day of miniature making with a couple of fails.

On another note, I've been on the search for some new miniature blogs.  If you have one, and I haven't found it on my own yet, post a link in the comments.  Thank you.

A Few Mini Projects

 I haven't been crafting miniatures much lately.  But during some de-cluttering, I got in the mood.  Here are a few small projects that I've finished.

My mother found this little display box for me at a yard sale.  I cut and stained some jumbo popsicle sticks for the flooring.  A scrap of carpet material sample for the rug.  I made the fire place out of a broken trinket box and scrap wood pieces.  The rest were items I've found here and there mostly at yard sales and 2nd hand shops.

Lady's Blue Room: The Vanity

I'm most happy with how the vanity has turned out.
