Customer Reviews

Wonderful book!

I used to check this book out from the library all the time when I was very little. Me and my mother worked on some of the items from the book, she made the dolls and helped me with some of the miniatures. This is a really great book- like another reviewer said, it isn't for very realistic dolls or miniatures. But it has a great variety of play dolls, houses, and miniatures to make for children.

I Love This Book

I purchased this books years ago. I have not made anything using the book, but it has some neat ideas inside. I'm still working with temporary doll rooms and have not started making my own items. This book will be my first reference. Lots of simple easy projects that will cost little of nothing. Many of the supplies are already in your home. I'm getting ready to recommend this book to my online doll club.

My favorite dollmaking book!

This book was my absolute FAVORITE craft book when I was little, because I could actually make a whole lot of the stuff inside by myself. Now I'm 22, and it's STILL my favorite doll book, because I can go through the same projects and change them to suit what I have in mind.The instructions in this book are very clear, clear enough that I could follow them when I was little, with a little help. There are instructions for a whole bunch of projects, including a dollhouse (one, two, or three stories!), three different kinds of doll-families (The simplest are the clothes-sewn-on family, which were my first project when I was 8. I still have them! There are also instructions for a family with changeable clothes and "real" embroidery-thread hair, as well as an absolutely adorable bear family) and a whole slew of furniture, clothing, accessories, food, and decorations.Those looking for a how-to for those super-elaborate/realistic dollhouses and dolls will want to find another book. The dolls included in this book are more soft and cartoony shaped, very friendly-feeling to small hands (I remember!). "Simple" seems to be the key word. Most items can be made without buying anything; just looking around the house. The dollhouse is made from a packing box, cut and folded in a particular way. The pictures in the book demonstrate how nicelooking the results can be, if one is careful. :) I cannot say enough nice things about this book.
