Miniatures for dioramas, model making and decorating

Miniature items for small scenes and decorations

Miniatures are small replicas of everyday objects such as brooms, buckets, pitchforks, benches, hats or sleds. With them, you tell a little story in dioramas, dollhouses, fairy doors, Christmas villages or floral arrangements. In small scenes especially, these details make viewers look more closely and see the story behind them.

What to look for in miniatures

Check the dimensions given for each product so the pieces fit with each other and with your figures. Some miniatures you use as they are, others you paint or distress so they match the style of your scene. Hold small pieces in place with hot glue, craft glue or removable adhesive putty. Adhesive putty is handy if you want to change your decorations with the seasons. If children are crafting with you, check the age and warning labels on each product for very small parts.

• Decorative elements for wreaths, arrangements and table decorations
• Additions to kits and models

Tip: Set the miniatures out as a test before you glue them and look at the scene from the angle it will be viewed from. This quickly shows you whether proportions and spacing are right.
