Gluing Felt: I am assuming that the felt you want to glue is the usual craft felt, made of polyester. The only glue I have found to use successfully on it is Fabritac...available in mini stores, craft stores and WalMarts craft dept. Alice Zinn |
Dremel Tools: Here is my recommendation for the Dremels you need. I suggest you obtain both a corded model such as the model 3962 variable speed Multipro Tool kit. This comes with a case an 72 of the accessories (bits) that will get you started. This set costs $64.00 at Lowe's' stores in this area. I also suggest the model 750 Minimite cordless. It comes with a few accessories, and charger. The accessories you get with the 3962 will fit the Minimite. This small tool is valuable when you want to work inside the dollhouse. You aren't dragging that cord in with it. It costs about $30.00. They come with a catalog so you can see the other goodies that are available. Dave Brazelton |
Foamcore Roomboxes: The May 2000 issue of DM has an excellent how-to by Frank Lerner. He makes it very easy. Or you could do like I do & just wing it. Make it any size you want it to be. How big is the largest item going in, going to be? Go on from there. Whatever looks right is what I use. Also check out Joann Swanson's Wizard room in the October 2000 issue of DM. She uses foamcore for the walls, floors-everything. Pam in St. Louie |

Miniature kaleidoscope: There are instructions for a working 1870 kaleidoscope in "The Toys of Christmas", The Best of 'The Scale Cabinetmaker' series, Volume 1, by Dorsett Publications. It was originally in TSC 8:3. It is what induced me to buy the publication although I am a long way from trying to make it. It uses tin stock, hobby mylar mirror and acetate "glass". The instructions also include a wooden stand for the kaleidoscope. Wendy in Clinton, NJ |

She also has the hand blown glass eyes in sizes, 2,3,4,5,6, and 8mm's. There is also a miniature eye sizer set. There are all kinds of molds for making dolls and pottery and she has Paulette Stinson's molds and pattern books. If I was a doll maker...I sure would start here first.

Knotty Pine: Called the store here. They do mail order to the U.S. She wasn't sure what exactly knotty pine would look like (and I'm not too sure) but she said they have a web site http://www.madscrappercda.com She's pretty sure the supplier is American so you might want to try searching for something like scrapbook+paper+wood on your favorite search engine. Haven't checked it out myself. The sheets (9" x 12") are $4.59 Cda (So about $3 US) I did tell her it was for minis and she said that she had used it herself (not for minis - but to get smaller wood effect) by tearing pieces along the grain to get the effect she wanted. I'm a great fan of scrapbooking pages - Acid-free, easy to work with. Maureen |
KFC Bucket: Anyway when I was there I saw a bucket of Kentucky Fried Chicken. I can't remember who was looking for it but Laura Dubois had it. Her web site is http://www.Minis2.com I checked out the site and it seems like she is trying to get it up and running, but her phone number is on there so if you are still looking for the bucket (It had chicken pieces in it too) give her a call!
