How to Use Game Pieces in a Dollhouse

Calico Critter house DIYs was the most popular search for my blog in 2015.

This post is all about doing just that with pieces of board games.

Scrabble Tile Keychain (DIY)

These key chains are crazy simple to make.  

I handed these out as favors at a baby shower last spring.  This may be one of the simplest tutorials so far!

Tiny Things (Furniture Sets)

I've been making a lot of tiny things for my Etsy shop recently.
Currently, I'm obsessed with making little furniture sets for Calico Critters (and taking pictures of them). I've been creating each little group by combining old, new, and handmade parts.  I like the challenge of finding and making different items that look nice together as a group.  Each of the sets I've put together in the past few weeks has a theme.  This is the Woodland Owl Playroom (my very favorite set right now).

Today I discovered that one of my items for sale on Etsy was featured in a Treasury list!  

Critter Craft Time

Remember when I confessed to buying that Calico Critter house?  Yeah...I'm still slightly ashamed of being a twenty-something woman with a child's dollhouse, BUT look what I found at the Goodwill outlet center: vintage Calico Critters and furniture from the eighties!

Using Recycled Game Pieces

What do indoor recess, grandma's house and power outages usually have in common?  Board games!

Junk Drawer Miniatures

In the corner of my studio is a basket of random odds & ends with no home, like a junk drawer.  While cleaning this morning, I decided that today's challenge will be to use some of that junk to make miniature things for a doll house sized living room (I love anything miniature).
