Dollhouse Miniatures: Christmas Room Box 1:12 scale

christmas room box


This is my 1:12 scale dollhouse miniature Christmas room box. I've changed it a few times; it used to be a living room but since I like to make mini food, I made it into a dining room for a Christmas eve dinner. It is hard to see but there is an out door night scene outside that is lit with a snowman, bird house, tree, icicles and snow! The Christmas tree and fireplace light up too.

Quick Thanksgiving Tablescape Decor With Mini Pumpkins





thanksgiving decor

 A simple tea light holder made from mini pumpkins.  It is usually best to get the mini pumpkins before Halloween because they get picked over and are more difficult to find. Just store them in the fridge until needed. All you do is trace the tealight with a paring knife and cut through the top of the pumpkin (it doesn't have to be perfect). Then just smush the tea light in and it is ready to go, it is that simple!
