Shy Spirit Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 The flattest magnet I could find was the promotional fridge magnets one gets from companies. Easily cut with scissors. Still too bulky for closing doors with ... but perhaps a small depression could be scraped out/sanded down to fit the strip. You can use this for "hanging" pictures, too.

I have a lot of the Realife kits hoarded away...don't know if I'm going to use them. So, on my quest for a Christmas house, bought a Sweetheart kit. Kit came in the mail yesterday, and HOW CUTE!! But it's totally too small. For almost anything. Living room is 8x8!!! Gah!! Maybe a half scale house? Back to the drawing board!

Probably- I used them for a whiteboard project and they were easy to print and cut. I really like them. They were quite thin - but I should go measure them. I assume 1/32 at most.

NellBell Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Magnets :There is a magnet paper on Amazon for bumper stickers that seems really thin . I bought it to try it for a few things I have that don't seem to close well . I have also bought some really small round magnets from Hobby Lobby they are about 1/16" round but I cannot find online though . I'd send a picture but I put them in a very safe place and there they will sit until I find them. 4 x 12 x .020 inch and is Very thin., .5 mm, about 1/3 as thick as a penny. kink for amazon = https://www.amazon.com/Flexible-Magnetic-Material-12-inch-Magnetizing/dp/B001NGE9C0/ref=sr_1_1?s=arts-crafts&ie=UTF8&qid=1516839292&sr=1-1&keywords=bumper+sticker+magnet+paper 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L Swearengin Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Most of my mini building materials are packed for moving. I am teaching myself crocheting. Last night saw a video on you tube. She was making a dollhouse chair. Tried it today. (Photo on Pinterest ). I'm thinking some adjustments are needed to get in more to scale. Wish I could post pictures from my phone, but isn't gonna happen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I agree the chair wasn’t traditional by any means, I thought it had some classic lines that would appeal to a wide range of tastes. This table on the other hand probably will not, its more of a experimental/learning exercise to see what my limits are. Trying some different building techniques, woods and stains. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stickyfingers Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Karin, very exciting!! Can't wait to see your finished products. I got the wood flooring sheets for the Yellow house stained. Wish I would have done more sanding before, but they're not awful. Will try the paper bag trick before I add a finish to them. Can't make up my mind how to finish the paper flooring sheets. Shiny gloss would look more like tile and linoleum, but I kind of want a softer finish. Thinking of doing satin or semi-gloss. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love to find a source of tiny, flat magnets for the purpose of holding tiny appliance doors closed. Holly, I found some on line. Some are so small I can barely see them, but they work. You can guess where they are, or I'd send you some. I used some that are a touch bigger to hold the plexiglass covers on my houses. Check Michael's . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miniaddicted Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 (edited) I bit the bullet and attached my stair runner. Came out pretty nice. I have the Mini Mundus stair rods but attaching them is turning out to be a bear. They have long pins that aren't easily pounded into the stair. Anyone have success with them?
