Product Description
Product Description
From tables, chairs and shelves, to letter racks, mirrors and coat racks, everything you need to make your dolls' house a home is here. Over 30 detailed, step-by-step, illustrated projects show how to make a variety of decorative accessories. Further illustrated variation ideas allow you to adapt the style or period of the project, and mix-and-match your favourite projects to suit your dolls' house. An illustrated section on the basic materials and equipment used offers practical guidance, while the basic techniques, such as working with wood, using glues, and varnishing, are illustrated with step-by-step photographs. Easy-to-use templates and diagrams are provided where necessary, including colour photocopying pages with a selection of pictures and patterns, and inspirational colour photographs show the accessories displayed in situ.
About the Author
Jane Harrop started making miniatures as a hobby nine years ago, when she made and demonstrated the projects at her local miniatures group - her enthusiasm turned this hobby into her job. She has been teaching adult education classes for the past five years, and has had articles published in Dolls' House World magazine. Jane sells her work through local miniatures fairs to both collectors and the trade, and also presents workshops at the miniatures fairs. Jane's first book, Dolls' House Do It Yourself: Toys and Games, is also published by David & Charles. Jane lives in Poynton, Cheshire.

This book has become my dolls house bible. It is packed with simple, easy to make items that are charming and unusual. I can't recommend it highly enough.

This is a largely un-sung hero of the 'Make It Yourself' dolls house books. The projects begin as simple items and are clearly explained step by step. Then a range of finishes are suggested and a number of variations are shown to get your imagination going. The projects are practical - well, decoy ducks? - and can be used in a wide range of settings - stools, tables, shelves, books, hats, baskets. Things you 'know' how to make but you don't because you don't feel confident. This book will give you that confidence. The projects are easy to adapt to other scales. I use mine for 24th scale, half the size intended, and the instructions work well. I'm planning to move into 48th - half the size again - and I'm sure, with some 'hard sums', they'll work for that too.

This was one of the small presents I bought my wife. Along with the bigger pressies for Christmas of course.
She loves it to bits. Shows how to make large candlestick holders, using real candles. A knights lance/axe thingy and plenty of Tudor style ornamental bits. Furniture, baskets, etc etc. Well worth the money for a dolls house enthusiast.
Plus lots more.
