Hi Miniature Friends!

It’s been a busy week at Everything Very Small—full of crafting and writing and some chatting (ugh, that rabbithole you can get into on socials talking about minis haha, tell me we all have been there! :-) )

Here’s what’s new in our dollhouse-sized corner of the world:

🎨 Can you use Scrapbook Paper as dollhouse Wallpaper?

Someone in the (Reddit, if I remember well) -community asked, “Can you use scrapbook paper to wallpaper a dollhouse?”

The answer? Absolutely—but with some caveats.

I’ve even created a handy pros and cons table comparing scrapbook paper and printable dollhouse wallpaper, check it out!

Get ready to up your DIY game with these super-easy (and budget-friendly) projects:

1.Dollhouse Dressing Table

Ever thought matchboxes could be glamorous? Watch as I transform matchboxes, cardboard, and aluminum foil into a charming dollhouse dressing table. Everyday materials, extraordinary results.

2. Modern Dollhouse Lamp

Wooden beads, a button, a skewer stick, and matching thread—it sounds odd but trust me, this dollhouse lamp is a minimalist masterpiece. No paint required, and it’s ridiculously chic.
