Handmade, small-scale objects go straight to the heart, and this book will spire you to create your own tiny treasures. Because of their diminutive dimensions, most projects require only an evening to complete, making this a perfect book for busy crafters! And, while these gems look expensive, most of the luxurious materials used are easily affordable—especially since you need so little. Choose from elite and petite wearables, diminutive keepsakes, the littlest tree trims, Judaica, and delights for the dollhouse of your dreams, a sweet scene, or a sophisticated tabletop vignette. “Creations in Miniature” offers a variety of techniques, including popular, revivalist, or original, beadwork, cross-stitch, embroidery, foundation piecing and quilting, free-motion stitchery, knitting & crochet, needlepoint, polymer clay work, ribbon work, rubber stamping, stenciling and more!
