Making

Please note, none of the items that I make in my videos are toys: they are not for children. All of my miniatures have small parts and are made with a variety of tools and materials. They are also not edible. Please do not follow my videos as tutorials - they are made as diary entries to show you the progression of my doll’s house makeover.

Thanks for popping by to watch my video. In this video, I talk though I made miniature dolls’ house bricks at a scale of 1:12. This is the fourth part in my blog showing each stage of my Tudor dollhouse restoration.
