I was introduced to the world of DIY dollhouse miniatures when I stumbled across Andrea Barham’s book “Easy To Make Dollhouse Accessories”. It’s still my favorite.

This little copper pot was really well done! I've spent the majority of my life designing and creating OVER-sized props for huge window displays, parade floats, etc. Now I've gone to the extreme opposite, creating 1:12 scale miniatures, and I've discovered it's exactly the same process. I still haunt hardware stores, Dollar Tree stores, second-hand stores etc. but now I eyeball every tiny little piece that resembles whatever I'm imagining at the time. It is so much fun. Thanks for sharing your talent.

Cute I'll need to check the plumbing dept!! That cutting tool was wire cutters though, not pliers. Pliers are for gripping. Looks like you could use the shank of the button for the handle but maybe the other side looks better
