I
was trying to do some organizing of some stuff in my office/craftroom
and came across a box that held some of the extras I had made back
when I was active in a lot of dollhouse miniature swap groups. For
most swaps I would make at least one or two extras of the items I
made just in case.
I
had forgotten all about this little shelf but it was just so darn
cute I decided to make one for you today. Originally I had made the
shelf all from wood and I was sure I had a piece of the wood for the
back. I looked all over and couldn't locate the wood so I subbed some
heavy paperboard. This time from the back of a tablet. If you do use
paperboard I suggest using a similar piece since this stuff is
usually really thick. I still used a double layer just to be sure it
was sturdy.
Cut
the back piece 1 ½” by 1”
You
will also need the shelf piece I used a regular size craft stick also
cut to 1 ½”. For shelf supports use a piece of dollhouse miniature
moulding, here is a link to a similar product. Look through your stash
and see what you have on hand that might work.
For
little coat/towel hooks I used the decorative end of some decorative
toothpicks.
Just
glue everything together and paint or finish as desired.
One
the one from the swap box I had glued some little bottles made of
beads to the shelf and I love how that looks. A mini box of Kleenex
or a small vanity mirror would be really adorable too.
So
that is how easy this one is.
great shelf, I like the little bottles too
