Gallery of Miniature and Dollhouse Projects for Beginners to Make

From Lesley Shepherd, About.com

The projects linked to these pages are designed to introduce beginners to the materials and techniques used to create various miniatures and dollhouse or scale accessories. Each of these projects has been chosen for its:

  • Wide range of applications
  • Use of one main technique or material
  • Use of materials which are basic to many areas of the miniature hobby
  • Simplicity, none of these projects take a lot of time or materials
  • Creativity
  • Ability to scale - these projects can be scaled up or down for various uses.

Although the majority of these projects are designed for use with scale scenes, the techniques can be adapted to create gaming pieces, display pieces for collectors, gifts for friends or projects for round table club meetings.
