saaraah Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Like a lot of newbies, I always wanted a dollhouse as a child but never got one. Instead I crafted and decorated a cardboard box house for my barbies (using New Kids on the Block cards as artwork! haha). The only other miniature crafting I've done is an a-frame living room scene I made for a Christmas ornament exchange. I found a Pierce kit on Kijiji this week, so my new hobby that I've been talking about for months is actually going to happen. The kit's foundation was put together with a glue gun - I dismantled it with my hair blower: thanks to the advice here - and all of the pieces were pre-painted with acrylic. I have done extensive renovations on my real-life century home and am hoping some of those skills can be put to use on my new little home. Thanks and I look forward to learning about miniatures!

havanaholly Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Welcome to the little family, Sarah. Primer will cover acrylic paint, but Id advise sanding off the worst of it first. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
