Hi! I'm sorry you had such a disappointing experience. I can completely understand why that would put you off the brand, especially considering the price of those kits. To be fair, I actually shared some of those concerns in my very first Anavrin review a couple of years ago. Some of the earlier k...

I would never purchase another kit from Anarvin. I bought one for my daughter from someone who had decided it was too complicated for them yo do. It was the 1949 train carriage. The quality was poor and pieces broke. The cost on their site was around £180 if I remember correctly. I contacted their c...

I wanted to make a small hanging chair for my miniature treehouse, and this turned out to be such a cute little boho-style project. I used metal bangles for the round shapes, wrapped them with twine, and then you can add a cushion (which I will create later) It takes a bit of patience, especiall...

Thank you Lizzy for the printie freebies. I'm sure some of them will end up in my dollhouse or scenes. 😊

This is one of those projects that looks way more complicated than it actually is. It’s mostly straight cuts, basic assembly, and a bit of patience while the glue dries. I made this little dollhouse table with two matching chairs using regular popsicle sticks and a craft knife, no fancy tools n...

Today, we're talking about something that you aren't used to hearing from me. Have you ever found yourself hunched over a tiny table, gluing on legs the size of matchsticks… and suddenly, the noise in your head goes quiet? It’s something I’ve felt many times. And over the years, I’ve realiz...

About two years ago, when I first wrote about Anavrin, they were mostly operating as a retailer. Aside from two or three original designs, many of the book nooks they sold were products you could also find under other brands. That was one of the reasons I was cautious in my original review. ...

I'm Helga and I live in France.I'm actually not a dollhouse builder but a miniature builder. My first wooden build was a little vintage car I got as a gift with an online order and I loved doing that. But I never looked any further untill one of my friends showed a booknook she made. I loved that ...

Howdy everyone! Its been a long minute since I posted on forums and whatnot, so I gotta used to the formatting again lol. I've been making miniatures since 2012. I started out very small (lol) and grew to a meager following before I took a 4 year break in early 2022. I am now getting myself ba...

Bottle caps have been wonderful as flower vases, waste baskets, and lamp shades. You can also make different styles of hats - wider brims, or shorter "cloche" styles.

Another idea, if you want to make a high-fashion hat, use embroidery floss instead of cord. It comes in many colors, and can be a very dressy version of the "chapeau"!

Being a Victorian/Edwardian costume creator myself, but being addicted to dollhouses and miniatures, I keep thinking of more hat ideas! If you wanted to make a men's top hat, use black or grey fabric on the bottle cap and card stock brim. If you don't want to use fabric on the brim, just color it ...

Since all my grandkids are grown and don't do miniatures anymore, I don't have anyone to make these things for, although I'm full of ideas. Combined boxes can become dollhouses, which I've done in the past. You can cut windows and doors easily, and they're lightweight. If they get shopworn or "mo...
