While I'm still busy doing egg carton bricks on the Witch's Bakery (a "why did I do this but it'll look good when it's done" idea), I thought I'd share some of the fun miniatures I got so far in the miniatures Advent Calendar, a personal calendar we fill ourselves, along with a few minis I made recently.
The Santa ornament (above) is a simple plastic piece I found at Walmart and thought was so cute. He's 4" tall. He comes undecorated, but looks so much better with some curly Bunka thread trim on his suit, hat, and for the beard. Also added a touch of red paint and gloss Mod Podge to his cheeks and nose plus a white pom-pom on his hat. I figured he'd look perfect on the porch or lawn.
Halloween always: cute jar and these cool rubbery bats from the Advent Calendar.
Made these great card lanterns from a Castle Crafts kit. They're about 1 3/4" high. There are 3 smaller ones in the kit also, about half this size. I got a cool idea for those: to put lighted lanterns on the tables in the restaurant above the Witch's Bakery. I'm also using the larger ones for the walls. I'll have to plan out my wiring for that.
Also made this neat cake from the MiniVerse Birthday minis I found on sale. The cake looks much better once I added some glitter to it. It's 1.25" in diameter and 1.5" high with the sign. It'll still look good in a window or on a shelf.
These are the absolutely cutest things I found - Disney brand - buttons! They look just like dolls so they're going under the Christmas tree for now. The taller Jack and Jill figures are about 1.25" tall. Those weird masks will look good on the walls.
* Also made some great toy boxes, shrunk down to half-scale. A freebie in the Mic Drop Miniatures daily Advent Calendar. (The toy boxes are day 9.) Have fun!
*That's it for the moment. I'm going to go find my mini Chrismas tree and see if I have a tree skirt to decorate it.
* Thanks again for visiting. Come back soon for more updates & projects! *
