Inexpensive (or free!) wooden stir sticks can be used to make a variety of miniatures. Here they are shaped with a miniature file to make matching dolls house scale pickets for a picket fence. The fence pickets can also be used to make a unique wainscoting for a dolls house nursery, or other projects like this bed with a picket gate head and footboard.
