Making 1/12 Scale Wicker Furniture for the Dolls' House

Miniaturists will delight in this collection of charming and easy-to-make wicker furniture-a real rarity for the dolls' house market. It takes only a few pages to lay out the tools and weaving techniques, which primarily involve plaiting cotton around wire strands. The wire gives the furniture strength; the cotton makes it look like the painted wood. And, by changing fabric, a piece can look either classic or contemporary. Twenty-five breathtaking projects, all shown in color photos, cover every room in the house. Make storage baskets for the kitchen; a dining room table and chairs; a bed and blanket box; a shelf for bathroom towels, and much more. From a dainty baby's rocking cradle to a nostalgic chaise longue, each item is a small masterpiece.
