I visited my local Goodwill Buy the Pound outlet, rooted around the bottom of the bins, and bought some really cheap minis. They're cheaply made and cost virtually nothing since you pay by the pound. I used a variety of techniques to transform these pieces into beautiful dollhouse decor.

Find a local Goodwill Buy the Pound. Do the world some good and buy some fantastic items before they make their way to the landfill. I've found items from Pottery Barn, Anthropologie, and Crate & Barrel. There are tons of items from Target and HomeGoods. Plus, I found 35 grams of sterling silver that cost me less than a penny! You really must visit.

My fave things:

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

2 oz bottle of Diamond Glaze

8 oz bottle of Diamond Glaze

Double-sided flooring tape

Mini Clamps

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

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

11 piece clay tool set for $10

I have lots of projects planned ranging from abandoned miniatures, furniture makeovers, dioramas, accessories, kits and Dollhouse Miniatures in multiple scales. I'm also working on a large Harry Potter build in 1" scale. I'm making the Gryffindor Common Room from scratch.
