After making furniture, add embellishments such as knobs for drawers. Make drawer pulls from a variety of materials, such as painted dry beans or seeds, pins or needles with decorative heads or jewelry beads. Gold sticker stars, strategically cut, make suitable gold hinges for cardboard cupboards. Glue fringed trim around the base of a fabric couch to add the final touch. Use clear, heavy packaging plastic as see-through windows in china hutches or other cabinets with glass. For china closets with mirror backing, use aluminum foil as the mirror.furniture miniaturehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02179198357323250941noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6642950042357637052.post-40549740279581738932010-04-28T17:22:00.000-07:002010-04-28T17:23:06.409-07:00Recycled FurnitureLook around for recyclable material, suitable for making miniature furniture. Empty matchboxes make ideal drawers. Cut out a large rectangular piece of the heavy, clear packaging plastic to make the top of a glass-top table. Fashion a small cardboard box into furniture, such as a dresser or table. Look through magazines for pictures of furniture, and then imagine how you might replicate the piece, using cardboard. Make wrought iron-like doll chairs by artfully cutting and curling aluminum soda cans, using the bottom of the can as the chair's seat, and shaping the cut sections to form chair legs and a backrest. While this is a classic craft project, often called tin can doll furniture, it is not suitable to use as a child's toy, due to the sharp edges.furniture miniaturehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02179198357323250941noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6642950042357637052.post-34420422090598708452010-04-28T17:19:00.000-07:002010-04-28T17:21:36.439-07:00Furniture ProjectsCraft 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.furniture miniaturehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02179198357323250941noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6642950042357637052.post-4947624376690036402010-04-28T17:10:00.000-07:002010-04-28T17:13:13.774-07:00Miniature Dollhouse FurnitureOne of the biggest joys in the life of a young girl is a great doll house. She will play with the house for hours on end and will cherish the moments she spends fixing the house and decorating it. One of the ways that she can make the house even more special is to help in the making of the furniture for the house. Some of the easiest and most fun furniture to make is bean bags. They are easy to make and can be a great project for a parent and child to do together.<br /><br />One of the first thing that you have to decide for your bean bag furniture is what do you want to want to decorate all rooms with the same style or do you want to give each room its own flare. I like to give each room its own expression and it gives you a chance to be very creative with your bean bags. You can choose to make a formal room, a fun room and you can even take rooms and decorate them in special colors and different hues or variations of the colors.<br /><br />What kind of material is going to be used to make the furniture? You can be really creative with this. The bean bags will not have to be very large and they will not have to be make out of the most extremely study material. You will have to use a good material that can take some wear but the only one that will be “sitting” on the furniture will be the dolls. You can use old clothing that no longer fits your child to make the furniture; this is a good way to preserve some favorite pieces. I like to use material with large shapes. You can cut out the shapes and make the furniture that way. You can also use nice frilly material to decorate the bags after they are constructed. Mix the materials together so that you can turn the bags over and have a different chair or they can be used in different rooms at different times.<br /><br />You have to decide what you are going to use as the filling for the furniture. I know that they are called bean bags but that doesn’t necessarily mean that they are filled with “beans”, although beans can certainly be used. You can use things such as rice, lentils, or other hard seed items. You can also get artificial beans at your local craft or everything store. You can also use a variety of fillings for the different bags; this will give your furniture different textures.<br /><br />Once you decide on your materials and you filling you can make your bags. To sew the bags together you will have to place two pieces of material with the outside facing toward each other. You need to make a seam, leaving approximately an inch or an inch and a half so that you can turn the bag inside out and fill it with your chosen filling, after the bags are filled then the opening can be closed. The bags can be decorated any way that your little one decides. They may be just beautiful without any added extras. The thing to remember is to let your little one help make all of the decisions with the bags. This will be a great project and make great memories for you and your little one.furniture miniaturehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02179198357323250941noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6642950042357637052.post-33106614662999522942010-04-28T16:47:00.000-07:002010-04-28T16:48:18.193-07:00Standard ScalesThe baby houses of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, and the toy dollhouses of the nineteenth and early twentieth century rarely had uniform scales, even for the features or contents of any one individual house. Although a number of manufacturers made lines of miniature toy furniture in the Nineteenth Century, these products were not to a strict scale.<br /><br />Children's play dollhouses from most of the 20th and 21st centuries are 1:18 or two third inch scale (where 1 foot is represented by 2/3 of an inch). Common brands include Lundby (Sweden), Renwal, Plasco, Marx, Petite Princess, and T. Cohn (all American) and Caroline's Home, Barton, Dol-Toi and Triang (English). A few brands use 1:16 or 3/4"-scale.<br /><br />The most common standard for adult collectors is 1:12 scale, also called 1" or one inch scale (where 1 foot is represented by 1 inch.) Among adult collectors there are also smaller scales which are much more common in the United States than in Britain. 1:24 or half inch scale (1 foot is 1/2") was popular in Marx dollhouses in the 1950s but only became widely available in collectible houses after 2002, about the same time that even smaller scales became more popular, like 1:48 or quarter inch scale (1 foot is 1/4") and 1:144 or "dollhouse for a dollhouse" scale.<br /><br />In Germany during the middle part of the 20th century 1:10 scale became popular based on the metric system. Dollhouses coming out of Germany today remain closer in scale to 1:10 than 1:12.<br /><br />The largest common size for dollhouses is Playscale or 1:6 which is proportionate for Barbie, Ken, Blythe and other dolls 11-12 inches tall.furniture miniaturehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02179198357323250941noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6642950042357637052.post-63616279678089347652010-04-28T16:45:00.000-07:002010-04-28T16:46:27.780-07:00ContructionIn the United States, most houses have an open back and a fancy front facade, while British houses are more likely to have a hinged front that opens to reveal the rooms.<br /><br />Children's dollhouses during the 20th century have been made from a variety of materials, including metal (tin litho), fibreboard, plastic, and wood. With the exception of Lundby, 2/3-scale furniture for children's dollhouses has most often been made of plastic.<br /><br />Contemporary kit and fully built houses are typically made of plywood or medium-density fiberboard. Tab-and-slot kits use a thinner plywood and are held together by a system of tabs and slots (plus glue). These houses are usually light-weight and lower cost but often require siding, shingles, or other exterior treatments to look realistic. Kits made from heavier plywood or MDF are held together with nails and glue.furniture miniaturehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02179198357323250941noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6642950042357637052.post-52973072578987344212010-04-28T16:43:00.000-07:002010-04-28T16:44:24.638-07:00Dollhouse As a hobbyDollhouses 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.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />Using items from around the house is a great way to recycle. <br /><br />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.<br /><br />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.furniture miniaturehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02179198357323250941noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6642950042357637052.post-24396093100500311262010-04-28T16:40:00.000-07:002010-04-28T16:42:51.265-07:00Miniature classic 1The TynieToy Company of Providence, Rhode Island, made authentic replicas of American antique houses and furniture in a uniform scale beginning in about 1917.[3] Other American companies of the early twentieth century were Roger Williams Toys, Tootsietoy, Schoenhut, and the Wisconsin Toy Co. Dollhouse dolls and miniatures were also produced in Japan, mostly by copying original German designs.<br /><br />After World War II, dollshouses became mass produced in factories on a much larger scale with less detailed craftsmanship than ever before. By the 1950s, the typical dollhouse sold commercially was made of painted sheet metal filled with plastic furniture. Such houses cost little enough that the great majority of girls from the developed western countries that were not struggling with rebuilding after World War II could own one.furniture miniaturehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02179198357323250941noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6642950042357637052.post-36542790155531648412010-04-28T16:36:00.000-07:002010-04-28T16:39:11.260-07:00Dollhouse NewsmakersThe early European dollhouses were each unique, constructed on a custom basis by individual craftsmen. With the advent of the Industrial Revolution, factories began mass producing toys, including dollhouses and miniatures suitable for furnishing them. German companies noted for their dollhouses included Christian Hacker, Moritz Gottschalk, Elastolin, and Moritz Reichel. The list of important English companies includes Siber & Fleming, Evans & Cartwright, and Lines Brothers (which became Tri-ang). By the end of the nineteenth century American dollhouses were being made in the United States by The Bliss Manufacturing Company. Doll houses made today are electrified, wallpapered,carpeted and have fountians with real running fountians.<br /><br />Germany was the producer of the most prized dollhouses and doll house miniatures up until World War I. Notable German miniature companies included Märklin, Rock and Garner and others. Their products were not only avidly collected in Central Europe, but regularly exported to Britain and North America. Germany's involvement in WWI seriously impeded both production and export. New manufacturers in other countries arose.furniture miniaturehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02179198357323250941noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6642950042357637052.post-10927386130033971002010-04-28T16:33:00.000-07:002010-04-28T16:36:04.590-07:00History DollhouseMiniature homes, furnished with domestic articles and resident inhabitants, both people and animals, have been made for thousands of years. The earliest known examples were found in the Egyptian tombs of the Old Kingdom, created nearly five thousand years ago. These wooden models of servants, furnishings, boats, livestock and pets placed in the Pyramids almost certainly were made for religious purposes.<br /><br />The earliest known European dollhouses were the baby houses from the Sixteenth Century, which were cabinet display cases made up of rooms. They showed idealized interiors complete with extremely detailed furnishings and accessories. The cabinets were built with architectural details and filled with miniature household items and were solely the playthings of adults. They were off-limits to children, not because of safety concerns for the child but for the dollhouse. Such cabinet houses [1] were trophy collections owned by the few matrons living in the cities of Holland, England and Germany who were wealthy enough to afford them, and, fully furnished, were worth the price of a modest full-size house's construction.Smaller doll houses such as the Tate house, with more realistic exteriors, appeared in Europe in the 1700s.[2]furniture miniaturehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02179198357323250941noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6642950042357637052.post-53646527062467776922010-04-28T06:57:00.000-07:002010-04-28T06:58:57.859-07:00miniature specialWe are pleased to invite you to browse our selection of high quality handcrafted miniature furniture as offered to registered retailers.

Malacca had been conquered two years earlier by Alfonso d' Albuquerque. They were looking for spices, especially pepper, to this busy and well-organized harbor. Some years later, the Portuguese Enrique Leme visited Kalapa with presents for the King of Sunda. He was well received and on August 21, 1522 signed a treaty of friendship between the kingdom of Sunda and Portugal. The Portuguese received the right to build a go down (warehouse) and to erect a fort in Kalapa. This was regarded by the Sundanese as a consolidation of their position against the encroaching Muslim troops from the rising power of the Sultanate of Demak in Central Java.<br /><br />To commemorate this treaty, they put big stone, called a Padrao, which vanished for some years. This stone was uncovered later in 1918 during an excavation for a new house in Kota area on the corner of Cengkeh Street and Nelayan Timur Street. This Padrao can now be seen in the National Museum on Medan Merdeka Barat Street. The original location of the stone suggests that the coastline in the early 16th century formed a nearly straight line, which is marked by the present of Nelayan Street, some 400 meters south to the Lookout Tower. The King of Sunda had his own reasons for great danger from the expansive Muslim Kingdom of Demak, whose troops threatened his second harbor town, Banten (west of Jakarta). Sunda felt squeezed and was in need of strong friends. Thus, the king hoped the Portuguese would return quickly and help him protect his important harbor. But they came too late. For in 1527 the Muslim leader Fatahillah appeared before Kalapa with 1,452 soldiers from Cirebon and Demak.<br /><br />According to some historians, this victory of 1527 provided the reason for Fatahillah to rename Sunda Kelapa, Jayakarta, which means "Great Deed" or "Complete Victory." On the basis of this victory, Jakarta celebrates its birthday on June 22, 1527; the day Fatahillah gave the town a name of victory of over Sundanese Hindus and Portuguese sailor. Prince Jayawikarta, a follower of the Sultan of Banten, resided on the west banks of Ciliwung river, which in the early 17th century reached the roughly at our starting place, the Lookout at Pasar Ikan. He erected a military post there in order to control the mouth of the river and the Dutch who had been granted permission in 1610 to build a wooden go down and some houses just opposite there on the east bank. Dutch ships had already come to Jayakarta in 1596. The Prince tried to keep a close eye on these unruly guests.<br /><br />To keep its strength equal to that of the Dutch, Prince Jayawikarta allowed the British to erect houses on the West Bank of Ciliwung River, across the Dutch go down, in 1615. The Prince granted permission to the British to erect a fort closed to his Customs Office post. Jayawikarta was in support of the British because his palace was under the threat of the Dutch cannons. In December 1618, the tense relationship between Prince Jayawikarta and the Dutch escalated. Jayawikarta soldiers besieged the Dutch fortress that covered two strong go down, namely Nassau and Mauritus. The British fleet made up of 15 ships arrived. The fleet was under the leadership of Sir Thomas Dale, former governor of the Colony of Virginia, now known as Virginia State in the United States.<br /><br />The British admiral was already old and was indecisive. After the sea battle, the newly appointed Dutch governor Jan Pieter Soon Coon (1618) escaped to Molucca to seek support. Meanwhile, the commander of the Dutch army was arrested when the negotiation was underway because Jayawikarta felt that the Dutch deceived him. Then, the Prince Jayawikarta and the British entered into a friendship agreement.<br /><br />The Dutch army was about to surrender to the British when in 1619, a sultan from Banten sent soldiers and summoned Prince Jayawikarta for establishing closed relationship with the British without first asking an approval from Banten authorities. The conflict between Banten and Prince Jayawikarta as well as the tensed relationship between Banten and the British had weakened the Dutch enemy. Prince Jayawikarta was moved to Tanara and died in Banten. The Dutch felt relieved and tried to establish a closer relationship with the Banten. The Dutch fortress garrison, along with hired soldiers from Japan, Germany, Scotia, Denmark, and Belgium held a party in commemoration of the change in situation. They name their fortress after Batavia to recollect the ethnic group Batavier, the Dutch ancestor. Since then Jayakarta was called Batavia for more than 300 years.<br /><br />Under the relationship of J.P Coen, Dutch army attacked and destroyed the city and Jayakarta Palace on May 30, 1619. There were no remains of Jakarta except for the Padrao stone now stored at the National Museum in Jakarta. The Jayakarta grave was possibly located in Pulau Gadung. If we stand on top of Menara Syahbandar and look around, we can enjoy the beautiful panorama in the oldest area of Batavia. Certainly, we can't enjoy the remains of the city Sunda Kelapa or Jayakarta. Kasteel or the Dutch fortress, too, has been destroyed. Here we can see several remains from the mid-17th century. Nearly all of the remains are related to trade and sailing.<br /><br />Syahbandar Tower was built 1839 to replace the old flagpole in ship dock located right on the side across a river. From the pole and later the tower, officials observed ships about to anchor gave signals. The tower then is used a meteorology post. To the West of the Lookout Tower, we can see the view of the present Bahari Museum. The museum represents a very old and strong edifice with Dutch architecture. The museum also provides several maps of the city, with stages of the city development shown. The museum is part of something in Dutch called Westzijdsche Pakhuizen (Warehouse on the West bank. Here nutmegs, pepper, coffee, tea, and cloth in a large scale were used to be stored.<br /><br />The area around Syahbandar Tower was once the center of Kota Batavia. It was the center of a trading network with wide spread agents reaching Deshima (Nagasaki) in Japan, Surate in Persia and Cape town in South Africa. Inter-trade among Asia was more profitable than inter-trade between Asia and Europe. And the Pasar Ikan (Market Fish) once was the pulse.

Lots of different aspects have colored the city history and the life of people today. Since the fifth century, ships from China and Champa (Vietnam), and from all islands in the archipelago docked at the mouth of the Ciliwung River. Indian and Portuguese traders also visited this small town. Javanese sailors, carrying spices from Molucca, were also docked there. Nearly all people from the East and West left their trails to blend special flavor of Jakarta. During centuries later, the city port grew into a bustling international trade center. At that time, between 17th and early 18 centuries, ships could sail further up to the river Ciliwung. Towards the south of this drawbridge, the once busy harbor town of Sunda Kelapa stretched along both sides of the river between the 12th century and 15th century.<br /><br />Sunda Kalapa was the main port of the Hindu Kingdom of Sunda. The capital of the Pakuan Pajajaran kingdom was located two days journey upriver, now known as Bogor. Ships often visited this port from Palembang, Tanjungpura, Malacca, Maccasar and Madura, and even by merchants from India and South China. Sunda Kelapa exported, among other items, pepper, rice and gold.furniture miniaturehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02179198357323250941noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6642950042357637052.post-74173533189536452932010-04-28T06:49:00.000-07:002010-06-04T01:55:37.657-07:00MiniatureMany of the items in our miniature collection are reproductions of furniture built in the past century by master cabinet makers from around the world.
