Miniature stores are fun to create because they have SO many things you can put in them. Merchandise, signs, dolls, store fixtures, displays….and more! I love the items behind the counter at the end. There are so many ideas in just one area! I also love the clothing on the clerk and customer. The long apron could easily be made with a piece of white cloth. The crates on the floor are also a great touch as they can hold so many different store items.

Miniature Candy Boxes

These DIY miniature candy boxes are perfect if you are decorating a miniature candy store, dollhouse kitchen, or mini holiday setting!

Each of these 12 miniature candy boxes feature logos, graphics, and product names from the late 1800’s. They have side tabs so you can glue them shut or open a side and put your own miniature candy in it. A box would look so cute on its side with a little candy spilling out!

Candy was much more rare when these candies were produced years ago. Because of the scarcity of these sweet treats, they were used as gifts and thoughtful gestures for friends and family. It was a real treat to get a box on a holiday or receive some from a visiting relative.

You can find these DIY candy boxes on a printable in my Late Night Coffee store on Etsy. The printable features 12 boxes that measure 1/2″h x 5/8w”. They can easily sit on miniature store shelves, kitchen cabinets, or fit underneath a Christmas tree!

DIY Miniature Crates

These DIY miniature crates are perfect for decorating a farmhouse style dollhouse, rustic roombox, or a miniature general store!

And the best part? They are made with paper!

In earlier years, crates were very useful for both the company and the customer. These sturdy boxes were used to ship and deliver items so that the products arrived safe and secure. They were a great form of advertising as they passed through many hands either locally or long distance. Because of the sturdiness of the wood construction, customers and shop owners could count on their merchandise arriving in good condition as it traveled. A lot of these crates have made it through the years and are still around. Good craftmanship and the durability of wood kept them in one piece to be enjoyed today.

Each one of these can be made with my DIY miniature crates printables which can be found in my Late Night Coffee Etsy store! Each printable comes with two different size crates with different designs. The graphics on them are vintage-style and some are actual product logos, designs, and names from the late 1800’s. It’s a fun way to add some authenticity to your miniature setting. So easy to make….just print…cut…and create!

Here is my tutorial on my Overnight Coffee YouTube channel to show you how to create these crates!

Dollhouse Miniature Tutorials

I started a YouTube channel, Overnight Coffee, that features dollhouse miniature tutorials and ideas for dollhouses. The tutorials are videos on how to make the many miniature printables I have in my Etsy store. Besides the tutorials, there are many videos that can inspire ideas for miniatures and dollhouse rooms.

I have carefully curated collections of photos from various vintage sources for the idea videos. They feature real photos of vintage items and actual rooms in houses that can help give some authentic ideas for miniature home decor. I love putting them together and showcasing some wonderful items from days long ago. There are so many ingenious things that have been made and invented throughout history. Besides being a fun artistic outlet, dollhouses and roomboxes are perfect for presenting a little snapshot of these times from long ago.

In addition to the idea videos, I have created dollhouse miniature tutorials of the printables I design. These printables are found in my Late Night Coffee store on Etsy. I absolutely love coming up with different ideas and creating each of them digitally. The tutorial videos are to show how to make them and to give some good tips. Because I was a teacher and an artist most of my life, I have found this is a fun way to use both of those skills.

Here’s one of my tutorial videos on the Overnight Coffee Channel!

So, if you need inspiration or a tutorial on one of my printables,you can visit my Overnight Coffee YouTube channel by clicking on the photos, video link, or text link!
