Customer Reviews

Excellent Resource for Customizing/Making Mini Accessories

I enjoy this book because it has very easy to follow instructions. Illustrations and accompanying descriptions are excellent. There are a wealth of projects to choose from (decorative, craft items, making/customizing furniture,etc.) which makes this book one that I can always refer to.

Making and Customizing Doll House Fittings

The directions given in this book for making and customizing the various items displayed in the book are very clear. The materials list is handy and complete. A wide range of items is included, from tiling floors to plastic casting for ceiling decoration, with furniture and accessories to fill the rooms in between those customized floors and ceilings.Using this book, you can make the basic furniture, or customize ready-made pieces with gilt, paint, or upholstery. There are also directions for creating and re-creating accessories, such as lamps, mirrors, picture frames, etc. Or you can create smaller accessories, such as pots, bowls, or fruit.If you like (or can do) needlework, draperies, rugs, cushions, and upholstery are possible.Overall, the book provides a very good 'how-to' for various aspects of finishing and furnishing a dollhouse. With a little imagination, many of the ideas in this book can be adapted to your style of decor.
