I'm using simple tools and techniques to make miniature birdhouses from scratch from popsicle sticks. You could decorate your dollhouses or potted plants with these cuties. This was so much fun!

My fave things:

Miter Shears- this pair is highly rated and has replaceable blades

Double-sided flooring tape
amzn.to/423tJwL

Nail Studs- I like these because there are a variety of sizes in silver and brass

For under $10, you get a variety of jump rings, lobster clasps and pliers

Paper fasteners & 1/8" hole punch
amzn.to/3O5nYI6

2 oz bottle of Diamond Glaze
amzn.to/3zmMLR1

8 oz bottle of Diamond Glaze

Heat gun- I use mine to quickly dry paint, soften the glue to dismantle furniture and quickly cure polymer clay without an oven. Gets a lot hotter than a hair dryer.

Craft heat gun that doesn't get as hot as mine

In this video, I show you how to create easy egg carton stones and how to add grout without changing the color of your stones. I used the "dry powder" method for adding grout and teach how to achieve the same effect with spackle. Enjoy :)

I have lots of projects planned ranging from abandoned miniatures, furniture makeovers, dioramas, accessories, kits and Dollhouse Miniatures in multiple scales. I also have a large Harry Potter build planned for 1" scale.
