Furniture Projects

Craft books, such as Vivienne Boulton's "The Dollhouse Decorator," include pages of patterns to trace and apply to cardboard or wood. After cutting out the pieces, assemble according to the instructions in the book to make miniature furniture, such as a dressing table, dresser or wingback chair. Instead of using patterns from a book, a number of websites offer free patterns, referred to as printables, to print out from your computer onto heavy paper. Many of these don't just print the outline pattern, but apply design and color to the paper. It's like printing out miniature furniture.
