When I was working on my birdhouses, I naturally wondered how small I could actually make them. So, I pulled out one of my sticks of wood (I have them in various sizes) ...and started cutting. BTW, I use a hand saw and a miter box, but the hand saw is about to die...lol.... and I'll just keep using it till it does....Anyways..... Once I got a few houses cut out, and sanded down, I painted them.... then I changed my mind, and went to look for my tiny letter stamps. This is what I came up with...
After each one was painted, I then went back with a brown marker and 'stained' up the sides....meaning I went over the edges with said marker, and then went back over the edges with my finger to blend them in.
See how tiny they are?!
After I did the first set..... I wanted all white ones... And what better word to use then Dream.
I made a set to go in The Painted Lady and a set to go up on Etsy.
Just think of all the words that could be used!
OK
Until next Time....

How sweet! Love 'em! =)
Katie, one of my friends has a set of houses like that in her real home. They sit on a table in the front hallway and they spell out "welcome". Very neat that you made them in mini.
They're adorable! Love the words on them and specially love the pretty pastel ones.
Katie they are soooo sweet! Rosanna

I think this is such a great idea, spelling HOME with tiny homes.
