Dollar General Miniatures

Dollar General Miniatures

Someone on one of my Facebook dollhouse fan pages mentioned that Dollar General had some $1 miniatures so I had to go take a look and look at what I found!  I would have gotten a lot more if I had the money at the time.

I also picked up these sweet little dolls that I'd like to try and do something with.  

Miniature Cat Tree

I made a cat tree.  For the bottom two parts, I had to raid the kids' block bin again.  I wrapped twine from the Dollar Tree around the "pole".  The top part is a lid covered in felt.  The ball is a mini pompom. 

Sorry, but that's the extent of my crafting this week.  I feel like I am barely keeping up.  I just need one really good day of mini making to produce enough to supply this blog for a while.  Keeps your fingers crossed for me!

Hidden Miniatures

I have no post for you today.  Haven't gotten around to playing with my minis much this week.  But I have been on Pinterest looking up unique miniature displays and finding them in the most unexpected places.  I think it makes them feel almost magical when they are hidden the way they are in the following pictures.

Miniature Butterfly Table

I found this little table at the Dollar Tree.  Not even certain it is a table, could be a chair.  In the end, I used it as a plant stand.

I decided to use another page from the floral calendar.  This one is probably my favorite.

I also made a couple new pillows for the couch.

Still haven't got much done.  Here's hoping I get a good day of crafting soon.

Diy Miniature Suitcase

Right now, I'm just playing around with the new room.  I plan on covering the current flooring again.  Also, thinking about painted the bed frame, what do you think?

But this particular scene is really just an excuse for showing off my suitcase that I made.

I made it out of this little pill box.

I have a few mini scenes in mind for the near future, so stay tuned.

Regarding The Brick Wall

miniature remodel

I decided to try and disguise the parts of the brick wall that I didn't like using some soft plaster that I picked up from the Dollar Tree.

Then I added some cream colored paint with a sponge to the brick areas that were still exposed.  And I have the first coat of white painted on the other two walls.  What do you think?  I think I like it.  I'll have to play around with some new scenes to be sure though.

Miniature Bar

I put together a little bar recently.  I left some from the kitchen scene to create it.

I used the new table for the scene.

I used the cabinet from the kichen scene. 

miniature beers

I made some mini beers using some coca cola minis I had.  I painted them and cut small advertisements out of the local paper and glued them on.  My husband thought that was great and took some pictures of his own to send his friends.

The brick wall gets a new make over soon, so be on the lookout for that.  See you then.
