Supplies & Tools
General tools I use across different miniature projects that are not specific to any one build.
I prefer a multipack of smaller bottles when working with miniatures. I keep the extras in a drawer and pull one out when I need it, which makes it easy to stay stocked without opening a large bottle all at once. This works well for small scale proje...
KISREL UV Resin 300g - Hard Clear UV Epoxy
These have endless uses when working with miniatures, especially for resin, glue, and detail work. I did not even realize this was a two pack when I bought it, which ended up being a great bonus. I use them constantly.
Urbanstrive Toothpick Holder w/ 800 Wood Picks, 2 Pack, Pink
These are great for precision and grabbing tiny pieces without disturbing the rest of the project. I reach for them anytime I am placing small items or adjusting details in tight spaces.
6 Pcs Precision Anti-Static Stainless Tweezers
These nail art brushes work really well with resin and miniatures. They are especially helpful for fine detail work and small areas where regular brushes are too large. Definitely worth picking up if you are working at a small scale.
Beetles 31pcs Nail Art Brushes & Tools Set
This is a great starting UV light. It is a bit smaller than I expected and takes a little longer to cure than I would ideally like, but it does work well and gets the job done. I may upgrade in the future, but this has been a solid option while I am ...
Black Light UV 21 LED 395nm Mini Flashlight
I originally bought a multipack and ended up needing to rebuy black and white separately. This set is a great all in one option so you have the core colors you will use most when working on miniatures and dollhouse pieces.
Apple Barrel Mega Acrylic Paint Kit, 48 Pc
This has been surprisingly helpful, especially for Miniverse projects. I use it to secure whatever I am working on to the table so it does not move while I am working. It helps keep everything level and allows for more precision without worrying abou...

Doll House
Materials and items specific to building and customizing a dollhouse.
This is the dollhouse I have been working on. I liked this one because it opens up and really allows you to customize the layout and design however you want. It gives you a lot of flexibility as you build and decorate.
12.5" Wood Castle Dollhouse by Make Market® | Michaels
This is the Amazon link for the Michaels dollhouse if you are looking to purchase the same one I am using.
Make Market 12.5" Wood Castle Dollhouse Unfinished
This is perfect for storing your plants if you do not want to attach them directly to your dollhouse. It adds structure and makes the plants feel intentional instead of loose or temporary. I love using this alongside Mini Brands Create Garden because...
10" Gold Metal & Glass Terrarium House by Ashland®
This is another great option if you want a dollhouse with a more modern clean look. I like that it feels open and flexible so you are not locked into one specific layout or style. It works really well for displaying miniatures without everything feel...

MGA Entertainment Miniverse blind balls are fun to open and very customizable. I love the creative aspect and they consistently have the best seasonal options.
I got the terrarium from this set and built it on my TikTok. It was a fun build and a great example of how these pieces can be customized and used as decor.
MGA Miniverse Hello Kitty & Friends 2-Pack
I already know these are going to be adorable. I am saving them to open closer to Valentines Day, but these seasonal sets tend to go quickly so it is worth grabbing them early if you can.
MGA Miniverse Make It Mini Valentine's Collectibles
The fact that these are both in stock and on sale honestly amazes me. Seasonal Miniverse items usually sell out fast, so this is a great time to pick them up.
MGA Miniverse Make It Mini Halloween 3-Pack
The first one I opened from this set was the Boba Bear. I had a great time making it and it was one of my earlier introductions to working with resin and curing. I still have it displayed.

Zuru Mini Brands holds my heart for their branded products, but I have also been enjoying some of their core collections for accent decorating.
These are perfect for the exterior of a dollhouse or for adding a little life and detail to interior spaces. They work well as small accent pieces.
Mini Brands Create Garden Capsule 2 Pack
These are great for building out a dollhouse, especially if you enjoy branded details. An actual KitchenAid, a pink beanbag chair, and the tiniest storage container that actually opens. Exactly what you would expect from Mini Brands and perfect for a...
