I decided that the perfect addition to my modern bakery would be a beautiful mini neon sign. Mini neon lights were impossible to find so I decided to 3D print and design my own! I started by picking a font for the sign. I knew I wanted cursive so the letters would all be connected. … Continue reading DIY faux Neon Sign

The Westville
After the debacle of ruining the Orchid house I purchased the 1:12 Westville house. It is going to be a spring cottage. Bright fun colors. And lots of flowers. I've completed the basic structure so far and painted the rooms inside. I did not include the stairs for the first time so that the first … Continue reading The Westville
Lighting
I have no clue how to wire a house so I tried to do easy lighting. I learned from some tutorials on IG how to make my own LED lights. These lights were meant to be lamps in a 1:12 house, but since my house is 1:24 they became ceiling lights. Materials used: Tea Lights … Continue reading Lighting

The dollar store (which is increasingly becoming a staple craft item spot) had these adhesive back cork sheets for, you guessed it, … Continue reading DIY Fireplace
Couch Set Update
Last night as I was making a bed for the bedroom I realized how off the scale of the couch and chair were in the living room. 1/24 scale is harder than it looks. It’s a lot of calculations. So I remade the couch set smaller. Still the same way as I did in the … Continue reading Couch Set Update
