Dollhouse As a hobby

Dollhouses are available in different forms. From ready-made and decorated houses to kits to custom built houses made to the customer's design. Some design and build their own dollhouse. Simpler designs might consist of boxes stacked together and used as rooms.

Miniature objects used for decoration inside dollhouses include furniture, [[interior decoration]s, dolls and items like books and clocks. Some of these are available ready-made, but may also be homemade. Homemade items may also include things that are around the house. (Ex.) you can use a hair spray top for a small table.

Using items from around the house is a great way to recycle.

When you are going to do this hobby it is a good idea to search out a local store to find sources of information on what to look for in quality. You may need help in building your home. Miniature stores, are great for classes. When you take a class you are able to visualize your doll house as a miniature home, verses a toy house. As a hobby you are able to use all the craft knowledge that you have and utilize it and make mini things.

There are dozens of miniature trade shows held throughout the year by various miniature organizations, where artisans and dealers display and sell miniatures. Often, how-to seminars are part of the show features.
