Mini Theatre and other small paper spaces

 

Mini theatre

The latest craft project for Kidspot is quite the theatrical piece and to get started on it you will need to eat one of those small box packaged chocolates.

If you're looking for a different kind of miniature project then take a look at the following.

The Doll Box

One of my recent design creations has been to make a box home. It was for a little girl who loves LOL dolls. The furnishings have been designed to perfectly fit the dimensions of an LOL doll. The box doubles as both gift packaging and an actual doll room.

The furnishings of this box doll room include:

• bed
• pillow
• double sided quilt
• bunting
• pot plant
• book shelf
• books x2
• couch
• couch cushions x2
• chest

Materials I worked with include:

• felt
• print fabric
• thread
• hobby fill
• wire
• foam board

Send me an email if you wish to commission me to make this doll box.

 

Twister

    On a complete and utter whim I made this mock Twister board game miniature for the girls doll house. They love it when I make little bits and pieces to add to their doll house, and this one was so simple in concept. As I was sewing the dots onto the white felt I realised how nice the pattern would look on a doll apron or skirt.

Knitting into Finity

Here is one for knitters, and fans of the film "Coraline"...

When you were a child did you ever look at your dolls, toy cars, and doll houses and wonder what it would be like to walk around in the micro world. I sure did.  Well, Althea Crome is a woman who considered what it would be like to take normal, every day objects and scaling them down exactly into miniature.

Althea and her craft first came to my attention while reading Knit Knit. Since my teen years I have had a fascination for the art of miniatures so I was naturally curious to find out if Althea had a website, to look at more of her work.

Did you know that the collection of miniatures was initially a serious hobby for adults. That is, for those who had the financial means to do so. My understanding is that the crafting of miniatures was so specialized that it was an expensive hobby. Now today, it can still be expensive, but with the crafting renaissance, and more people going DIY, miniature collecting need not be for an exclusive club.

I highly recommend you check out Althea's website at: http://www.bugknits.com/
