  1. Thanks for this tip, Kathy!
  2. Thanks Lee. There is a variety of fabrics - some is cotton & some is a coarser material. I am going to attach the ones in scale to toothpicks & see how it loooks.
  3. Thanks Holly, for this information. Very nice curtains!
  4. Hi Muriel, my dollhouse is 1:12 scale. I think a flat curtain will probably be best, but I'll probably try the lace on a rod also - just something basic as I have never worked with or done any curtains before. Thanks for the pictures - your curtains look very pretty.
  5. Hi Joey, Did you glue the toothpick directly to the window frame and also what kind of glue did you use? Love your farmhouse - and I like your curtains in it! I just recently discovered this lace and there is all different kinds, so I will have to play around with it to see what works best. Thanks!
  6. I have a box of my late grandmother's lace that she used for sewing. I would like to use some of it to make curtains for my dollhouse. Does anyone know of an easy tutorial on how to do this? Maybe a video from YouTube? Thanks!
  7. Thanks, Carrie, for the article. It was very helpful.
  8. Tootsietoy dollhouse furniture from the 20's and 30's was made of metal.
  9. Does anyone know whether Tootsietoy doll house furniture and/or the paint used on them contains lead? I have been looking at this furniture on ebay & thinking about buying a piece of two, but I won't it they contain lead.
  10. Has anyone ever bought anything from Rubylane? Starting on Friday, May 15th, they are having a 72 hour sale with 30% off. Part of the proceeds from the sale goes to Feeding America covid relief. Lots of dollhouse items are included in this sale.

    Aging Brick

    This is a sheet of bricks, not from sandpaper. If I primed them, then the brick patterns would be covered up. I just want to add some type of paint or chalk layers to make them less new looking.

    Aging Brick

    What should I use for primer?
  13. I want to age the brick that I am attaching to the back of my fireplace. I have a sheet of brick that I think is made from latex because it is kind of rubbery and bendable. What can I use to age this - chalk pastels and then some type of sealer or acrylic paint and then sealer? Or something else. Thanks!
