Almost Christmas time, well I know that for my American friends, Thanksgiving comes first, sorry ;-). So, have you been looking for Christmas miniature craft kits yet or do you have a reason not to be interested? Do let me know 😉
Anyway, I have looked for all the available Christmas miniature kits on the market and reviewed them with a combination of my own experiences with the brands and opinions from people on social media, etc. Let’s go!
But first: What to Look for When Buying Miniature craft kits?
Everyone has different preferences on what is important or not when deciding on a miniature craft kit, but I want to offer my opinion on the most important things that these kits should have.
Look out for:
- How many hours does it take and am I willing to work on this for a (long) time?
- The scale: be sure that you have enough room in your house to work on your kit and to place it somewhere to admire it 😉
- Is it sturdy/durable?
- Does it include all the materials that you could need for these kits or do I need to buy extra?
- Check out the pros and cons of each item, so that you don’t get an unpleasant surprise ( I do my best to look for cons as well, not just the pros )
This way, you know beforehand, what you are facing and hopefully can deal with an issue if it should occur 😉 Anyway, most of these are to be enjoyed and make you a happy crafter! 😉

And now the Expanded reviews on 9 Christmas miniature craft kits
Miniature craft kit number 1: A very small Christmas room
This little Christmas DIY kit is quite small but cute and perfect for beginners. You will probably finish it in one afternoon. Perfect for a last-minute gift.
Brand | Montidey, but that is probably not the original brand, as I never heard of it. |
Scale | 1: 24 |
Pro’s | – Quickly made, very small kit – the latter makes it very affordable as well – made from safe and environmentally friendly materials |
Contra’s | – Limited number of miniatures present in this kit – glue, LEDs, and batteries not included |
Our Ratings | 4/5 |
Hours to Make | 4-5 hours maximum, is my estimation |
Compare prices too
Miniature craft kit number 2: Ice and snow Manor 3D.
Now here is a bigger Christmas DIY kit than the first one. To me, it has more character, but is it worthwhile as well? Let’s check it out with the pros and cons below!
The materials used are wood, paper, and plastic. Made of high-quality wooden board.
Currently not available sorry.
Brand | Cutebee |
Scale | 1:24 |
Pro’s | – This DIY kit has a unique character, I haven’t seen many people making it – should include a music box and dustproof cover – and should also include an English manual, which can be rare for these types of brands – decent quality – it seems like it is easy to assemble |
Contra’s | – glue and batteries not included – the front porch light only has one LED light in it |
Our Ratings | 4/5 |
Hours to Make | 3 days, so I would think at least 24 hours in my estimation |
Miniature craft kit number 3: A Christmas Snowy Night
I haven’t seen this on social media a lot either, but that is surprising because at first sight, I love it and it has a cute design and gets lots of good reviews.
This kit includes printed paper, cloth, wooden parts, plastic parts, LED lights, a music box, and a few tools. (don’t expect too much of the tools)
So, let’s talk about this one called “Christmas snowy night”!
Brand | Cutebee |
Scale | 1:24 |
Pro’s | – comes with an illustrated English manual – gorgeous design – an affordable price for the size and quality of the house |
Contra’s | – doesn’t include a dust cover – looks like it’s a bit harder to assemble – glue not included |
Our Ratings | 4,5/5 |
Hours to Make | 20 to 30 hours |
Miniature craft kit number 4: A Christmas Eve
This DIY house kit is small but gets you in the Christmas mood very easily.
Ask the seller for English instructions if they come in Chinese only!
Brand | |
Scale | 1:18 |
Pro’s | – Very sturdy materials – well-made/cute design – has a music box |
Contra’s | – Glue and batteries not included – the instructions need more details |
Our Ratings | 4,5/5 |
Hours to Make | about 12 to 18 hours, as it’s a small kit |
Miniature craft kit number 5: Holiday time
Not many times it happens that a pretty little miniature Christmas tree is included in these kits, but this one has a lovely one, in my opinion 😉
The miniature food turkey on the little table is a little bit weird, but you could keep that piece for another kit, if you like.
The materials used in this mini dollhouse kit are: high-quality wood, fabric, plastic, paper, etc
Brand | Cutebee |
Scale | 1:24 |
Pro’s | – Very affordable little DIY kit – non-toxic, environmentally friendly materials – easy to assemble – a very cute designed kit |
Contra’s | – glue and batteries not included – beware if you want the dust cover as well, that you need to ask this seller and it will cost you a little bit more – instructions are not very clear, check out some Youtube videos first |
Our Ratings | 4,5/5 |
Hours to Make | 12 to 18 hours |
Miniature craft kit number 6: Christmas Snow House DG18
This kit is the only one I found so far from Robotime aka Rolife. And then again, only one is left on Etsy.
I have no clue if it is been taking off the market or not, especially because I can’t find it on Amazon or AliExpress.
That would be a pitty, as it is adorable! Anyway, a few more details are below.
Brand | Robotime/Rolife |
Scale | 1:24 |
Pro’s | – limited edition – includes a music box – the kits from Robotime have good quality – clear English instructions |
Contra’s | – As it only sells on Etsy now, it got quite expensive |
Our Ratings | 4,5/5 |
Hours to Make | about 10 hours |
Miniature craft kit number 7: Christmas Eve
I’m not sure which brand this Christmas dollhouse kit is actually from,as I think that “Kisoy” is more like a retailer.
But it sure looks unique, with a little front porch in a Christmas theme included!
Christmas Eve Kisoy DIY Dollhouse Kit, 1:24 Scale Exquisite Miniature with Furniture

Brand | Kisoy |
Scale | 1: 24 |
Pro’s | – this kit has a variable design, with 2 floors and a Christmas scene in front, quite unique! – dustproof cover and music box included – English instructions |
Contra’s | – glue and batteries not included – directions are very unclear – the materials used have a lower quality |
Our Ratings | 4,5/5 |
Hours to Make | This looks like it could take a while, so I would say about 20-24 hours |
Miniature craft kit number 8: A Christmas DIY room box
This Christmas DIY kit is rarely sold and only available on AliExpress.
For this reason, it is very hard to review, but I will hand you the information that I have available.
Brand | Unknown |
Scale | Finished Size:20.5×9.5×12.4cm /8.07×3.74×4.88inch |
Pro’s | – Very affordable kit – dust cover included – includes glue and LED lights |
Contra’s | – no tools included – not enough information available |
Our Ratings | Not ratable as no reviews |
Hours to Make | My best guess is about 12 hours max |
Miniature craft kit number 9: A Christmas Book Nook
Although this book nook with a Christmas theme looks wonderful, there is even less information or reviews available!
The seller could have at the least written a description of the book nook, but nothing is there. That will have an influence on my review 😉
Brand | Unknown |
Scale | 1:24 |
Pro’s | – This looks like a pretty design. At the same time, that’s about all I can tell you haha |
Contra’s | – Even less information is available, so I have no clue if the manual is English or not, which materials are included, nothing.. |
Our Ratings | 3,5/5 |
Hours to Make | It looks like there is a lot of stuff in this book nook so my best guess is over 24 hours |

Hi everyone!
My name is Lizzy, and I am an amateur miniaturist obsessed with everything in the dollhouse and miniature world, ever since I was a teenager.
So far, I have created 2 dollhouse projects, a backyard shed and a miniature treehouse, tons of DIY dollhouse kits, and “hacked” some.
I also created a fairy garden, and lots of small and simple miniature projects on my YouTube channel. (mostly made from trash or everyday items).
I love to write as well about all things happening in the miniature world, hence the reason why I created this blog!
I wish you happy reading and crafting!
Lizzy
It is this time of the year when we begin to think of innovative and creative ideas to make our Christmas colorful and enjoyable. Craft kits are play important roles in our home decoration. No matter what your budget is, it is never too small to get one or two for the home.
Hi apexvilla,
Thank you for your positive comment, they sure are lovely, right?
Kind regards,
Lizzy
This is an awesome article on the best Christmas miniature craft kits! I loved building stuff as a kid, so I would have been super happy with these types of gifts, along with Lego and other building kit products. I’m wondering if you have more reviews on miniature craft kits? Although I love the Christmas theme, it would be awesome to see miniature craft kits of other styles as different people prefer different styles.
Hi Kevin!
Thank you for your wonderful comment, much appreciated!
There sure are other types of miniature craft kits with another theme, as you can see in this oversight here! If you are looking for a particular type, please don’t be afraid to ask!
I wish you happy crafting!
kind regards,
Lizzy
I actually like the number 4 one; A Christmas Eve.
I airbrush custom-made Hot Wheels. Been doing it for about 3 years or so now. I know most of these ones are like 1:18 and 1:24 models. I don’t even know if this is an option, but I know Hot Wheels are 1:64 models. Do you happen to know if they have crafts that would be a Christmas scene for say a 1:64 model?
I want to craft my own to go with a custom Hot Wheel I am doing that has a snowy Christmas tree in the back of a truck bed. Just need some awesome unique Christmas scenery to go around it.
Hi dude!
That sounds like an awesome idea and I’m intrigued by your custom made Hot Wheels! I’m sure that you are doing a great job, but can I also recommend this Domestika tutorial on how to paint miniatures? haha, just saying 😉
About your question, I think it is hard to find DIY kits in that tiny scale, as most of these kits are indeed on a scale of 1:12 or 1:24, or something in between. Now, there are also gorgeous miniature kits on scale 1:48 and even smaller, but for 1:64 scale models, this is rather in the Warhammer world and scale model or railway world. Have you tried Googling this?
Sounds like an awesome project and good luck with this!
