3 ways to make miniature plates for a dollhouse

What you'll make

Coco makes tiny 1/12 scale dollhouse plates, small enough to sit on a fingertip, in three different ways. Each way has its own full tutorial on her channel. This short overview shows what the three look like, so you can choose the one that suits the tools you have.

Start with Part 1 if you're new to the series. The main supplies from the video are listed below, and each full tutorial has its own page with the complete supply list.

You'll make: tiny 1/12 scale dollhouse plates, made three ways: clay in a cardboard mold, clay in 3D printed molds, or ready-made 3D printed plates that you paint or decorate with waterslide decals.

1. Way 1: clay plates with a cardboard moldRound polymer clay plates shaped in a handmade cardboard mold, then painted and glazed. This is Part 1 (about 27 minutes), and it needs no 3D printer.
2. Way 2: clay plates in 3D printed moldsPress clay into 3D printed molds, then paint the plates or finish them with waterslide decals. This is Part 2 (about 26 minutes).
3. Way 3: 3D printed platesStart with a ready-made 3D printed plate and decorate it with paint pens or waterslide decals. This is Part 3 (about 10 minutes), the shortcut.
