Finding Christmas Miniatures For Your Dollhouse

Decking the halls for the holidays doesn't have to stop with your own home and tree. If you're a dollhouse fanatic or you have a little loved on in your life who is, you can make sure your miniature gets the special treatment it deserves. If you know where to look, you can find the perfect Christmas miniatures for your Victorian or even decorations that are just right for a sprawling "mini" mansion.

Dressing up your dollhouse for Christmas is not only fun, it can be quite addictive. There's just something so enjoyable about turning a beloved dollhouse into a holiday treasure that's all decked out with the perfect special touches.

So, where can you turn and what can you expect to find on your hunt for Christmas miniatures?

Perhaps the best place to find Christmas miniatures is on the Internet. Here you will find a number of specialty stores and even individual hobbyists that sell decorations of the mini persuasion. These readymade decorations will be delivered all set and ready to go to your door. The best part is that the scale will be set perfectly for whatever scale your house happens to have adopted.

Should you want something more than online stores have or you want the instant gratification of taking decorations home right away, there are some other places to look for the right special touches. Toy stores, hobby shops and even some antique stores might have decorations available for dollhouses.

Now, you're probably wondering just how elaborate you can get with holiday decorations for a dollhouse. The answer to that one is very elaborate. Some of the type of decorations you'll find available for decking the halls of a miniature farmhouse, Victorian or beyond include:

Outdoor foliage - Trees, shrubs and other standard wintertime greenery can be found to decorate outside a dollhouse.

Outdoor special touches - Miniature snowmen, decorated holiday trees, sleds, picket fences painted red for the season and a host of other holiday special touches are all available through the Internet. You'll even find ice and snow to make the grounds look just right.

Wreaths - What dollhouse would be complete without a wreath for the front door?

Lights - Miniature light sets are available for making sure the outside of a dollhouse glows just right.

Presents - Tiny presents can be purchased to make a dollhouse look all ready for the big day.

Dining supplies - It's even possible to set a table for the festivities. Holiday themed plates, faux food items and even tableware can all be found.

Christmas tree - Lighted and unlighted "indoor" Christmas trees can make a living room look just right.

Nativity scenes - These miniature miniatures are perfect for decking the halls.

Christmas cards - It's even possible to find packs of tiny cards to decorate tables.

Decorating for Christmas doesn't have to stop at with the "main house." Thanks to some very creative stores, dollhouse lovers can deck the halls of their favorite little homes in grand holiday fashion.

Catalogs for miniature bird house decorations?

My hubby built me this neat bird house with a patio that I am going to make a yard out of by putting grass carpet on it. I want to make it a "redneck" birdhouse with a pile of mini beer cans, rusted garbage cans, mini pile of tires etc. Does anyone know of a craft catalog that would have these things?

"Miniatures" like that can be found in various places:

hobby stores, craft stores
websites re minatures
magazines re miniatures
(even the drugstore or Walmart, for some of them...the particular ones you mentioned wouldn't be as easy to find there though)

If you are interested in making your own miniatures from polymer clay (or polymer clay along with other materials), you might want to check out the lessons and examples on these pages at my site at least:

http://glassattic.com/polymer/miniatures.htm

http://glassattic.com/polymer/houses_structures_gingerbread.htm

(other pages at the site would cover more on making things like that , as well as how to make "faux" metal, faux rust-patinas, faux rocks, etc.

Have fun!
