Finding materials for smaller scales is often as challenging as making the project. This Clear Topped Bakery Case in quarter scale uses glue backed wood veneer tape and scrap plastic. You can use scissors and an iron to build it! If you prefer you can build it from photo paper or lightweight card instead of wood.
Veneer edge banding tape is useful for more than quarter scale furniture. You can make great wood floors in several scales, even use it for smaller scale siding and shingles.
