Dolls House World Magazine Issue 346 Back Issue

This issue comes to you full of sparkling ideas and inspiration for the festive season.
Caroline Dupuis had to eschew her favourite shabby chic pastel shades in favour of the traditional greens and reds when she made her Christmas cottage, but the result still has a romantic feel.
Jane Crosland, working in a smaller scale, has transformed a model railway kit into a winter wonderland Christmas eve church scene. Denise Morales found she could overcome the common roombox problem of “so many ideas and such little space” by creating a shabby chic shop packed full of gorgeous pieces. You can imagine wandering around inside trying to carefully negotiate the narrow aisles.
We talk to artists who work with Christmas ideas all year round, whether they’re creating wonderfully adorned trees or herds or reindeer.
We’ve got some lovely seasonal projects too, and if you’re short on time Sandra’s been thinking of you. She’s come up with some quick and easy festive ideas that anyone can fit into a busy schedule.
But whether you choose to sit back and wallow in the warm glow of other people’s achievements or create your own mini festive sparkle, we just want you to, in the words of the song, ‘have yourself a merry little Christmas’.
