How To Make A Miniature Tea set To A Dollhouse

How to make an oriental tea set 

​I am planning to make an Aladdin-themed doll room scene. For Jasmine´s room, I wanted to put together an oriental tea set. Here's how I did it!
Picture
Picture

Materials 

​
  • Adhesive Glue: I prefer Uhu.
  • Metallic Back Stoppers: You can take them from broken old earrings.
  • Big Round Bead
  • Broken Slide Locks: You can take these from necklaces.
  • Metallic Beads
  • Gold Bottle Cap
  • Gold Glitter
Picture

​1. Make the Mugs

For starters, I made tea mugs by gluing earring backs to two large metallic beads to be the handles.
Picture

​2. Make the Teapot

​A big round bead is going to be my teapot. I glued another back stopper to be the handle. The tube lock is going to become the beak of my teapot.
Picture

​3. Set the Tray

​I glued the teapot and mugs onto a bottle cap and decorated them all with golden glitter.
Picture
​If your bottle cap is a different color, you can use matching glitter or something totally different. It is all up to you. I'd recommend going through your jewellery stash. You'll never know what you can find.

It's Time to Play

The tray is perfect for my Jasmine doll!

Doll House Christmas Tour

I was supposed to show pictures of my dollhouse already last month but I was too busy. So I will share some photos with you now. When I was a kid I loved all kinds of toy houses, Barbie houses, lego-houses, doll houses, miniature houses..you name it. I have this little Lundby house at my mom´s home back in Finland. It is not a boring house. Sometimes fairies are staying in and there are tons of ghosts that wonder around. 
Picture
Doll house Christmas tree is all sparkly and silver. Can you spot Olaf from the photo?
Picture
Someone is making ginger breads!
Picture
I also have some moomin characters visiting. Many years ago I had a moomin house made of cardboard but eventually I had to give it up since it took too much space. I still got the characters. I made them all from fimo clay. 
Sniff of course is next to the Christmas foods. 
Picture
Little bunny is upstairs admiring the holiday decorations. Fairy painting on the back is painted by my friend Janna. 
Picture
Can you feel the winter magic!
Picture
I always try to put a miniature wreath into every door. 
Picture
I like to call this as the "witche´s bedroom". Hhahha and there is the ghost of Christmas coming down the stairs. 
Picture
Moomin I hope you are not afraid of ghosts. 
Picture
This is probably my favorite room in the whole house. It is the green room filled with strange plants and it is perfect for having a meditative tea moment. 
Picture
Black cat is made my friend Anna.

Those of you who have doll houses do you also decorate them for Christmas? or any other holiday. I hope you enjoyed this little tour )O(

How to make a fairy garden shephard´s hook

Would you make a Fairy Garden? 

​Fairy gardens have become increasingly popular within the past few years. Making one that is uniquely your own can be inspirational and spark your creative juices. The best part is that you can make many of the decorations yourself!
Picture
My old earrings that have lost their pairs.

What You´ll Need 

  • Strong metallic wire
  • Wire cutters
  • Broken earrings
Picture

1. Make the Hook

Twist the top section of the metallic wire into a circle. Use the wire cutters to cut the bottom to be the length you desire.
Picture

​2. String the Earring

​Remove the broken element of the earrings, such as the earring hooks, and string the earring onto the wire. Then, place it in your garden!
Picture

​Shepherd's Hook Decoration Ideas

​You can make a whole fairy garden filled with shepherd's hooks! Try a few of the ideas below to make yours even more special.
  • Wrap a thinner wire around the hook. Then, string some tiny pearls around it.
  • Attach two hooks against each other. Then, decorate them with similar earrings.
  • If you can't find earrings, you can substitute them with old keys, coins, Christmas bells, or any other tiny objects that fairies are fond of.

How To Attract Fairies With Your Fairy Garden

People have tried to attract fairies to their home and left offerings for them as well as spirits. In my home country, Finland, porridge was left for tonttu (the elf). In many countries, people left out bread, milk, and cookies for fairies. With your garden, you can bring some fairy magic to your home. Decorate it with small objects such as buttons, keys, beds, broken eyeglasses, or whatever comes to your mind. The possibilities are endless. Have fun!
