Dollhouse Scrap Pot Holder Tutorial (Real Life Scale)

How cute are these?! Nanette over at "Freda's Hive" shows you how to make these adorable dollhouse potholders. Wouldn't a quilt for a little girl be just lovely. With oodles of ribbon roses and lace curtains. Or how about using this pattern to decorate a dollhouse dustcover. You could just sew the cover and fusible web the houses onto it. What I like best of all is it uses up your leftover scraps. Thank you Nanette for sharing!!! Click here to go straight to the tutorial .
Enjoy!

Video How To: Make A Miniature Castle

Lizard Landscapes.com shows you how to make a castle for you very own real life dragon. OK, I know real life dragons don't exist but real mini ones do when its your pet lizard. Made out of very inexpensive, materials most Dollhouse hobbyist have around the house. The decorative sand he uses can be purchased at any dollar store. I recommend the liquid nails as an adhesive as well. I have used it to put together real life tombstones for my Halloween display. That was over 6 years ago and several hurricanes and they are still holding strong. Wouldn't it be neat to do one of these as sand castle covered in tiny shells and seaweed. I wonder how one would make mini seaweed? Oh and of course you would have to make a thrown for King Neptune. Or how about a place where pirates stash their loot. With oodles of treasure chests spilling over with mini pearls, gold, and jewels. Don't forget that lone ship wreck survivor, a skeleton holding a keg of rum. Comment with your ideas. I would love to hear them.

Enjoy!
