I design most of my mini furniture and accessories, and it’s not much additional effort to share my files with others. I’ve added some files below and plan to add more based on interest. Feel free to use them for personal use.
If you don’t see something you’re looking for, contact me and I’ll see what I can do :) Happy making!
Vermont Farmhouse Jr. 1:12 Window Mullions
I wasn’t a fan of the screenprinted window mullion design that came on the window inserts included in the Vermont Farmhouse Jr. dollhouse kit, so I cut my own out of posterboard.
You can see a step-by-step tutorial in this Instagram reel.
To make the mullions, you’ll need to cut 1 copy of the SVG file linked below for each side of the window pane out of standard posterboard. I used my Cricut, but you could also cut by hand.
Glue the thinner piece on top of the thicker one to create a dimensional effect. You can then paint them if you’d like (I chose not to) and, once dry, use tiny dots of glue to attach them to the plexiglass window inserts that came with the kit. The posterboard should completely cover the screenprinted design. Then you can install the window inserts as instructed in the kit.
It’s a little tedious, but I found this detail really elevated the look of the windows and made them much more realistic.
1:12 Record Crate
Use 2mm thick basswood to laser cut this simple 1:12 scale vinyl record crate. You don’t really even need glue since the pieces snugly fit together.
You can see the finished crate in this Instagram reel.
1:12 Takeout Bag and Boxes
I used my Cricut to score and cut these tiny 1:12 takeout bag and boxes. The takeout bag is made out of a piece of actual paper bag and the boxes are made out of kraft paper cardstock.
You can see a quick tutorial in this Instagram reel.
I invested in the scoring wheel for my Cricut which helped me make the folds you see in my takeout bag and boxes. The SVG files linked below include both cut and score layers. I imported the files into Cricut Design Space, selected all the black lines and tapped “Attach” and then switched the lines from “Basic Cut” to the “Score” operation. The overall shape should be set to “Basic Cut.” When you tap the “Make” button, the Cricut software will tell you to first put in the scoring wheel, it’ll complete the process and then prompt you to switch to the cutting tool. Once you get the hang of it, it’s really handy.
If you don’t have the scoring wheel, you can remove or ignore the scoring lines in the file and use a bone folder to make the creases, but I bet that won’t be much fun!

Shrunk. Holiday Party DIYs
In celebration of Shrunk. Issue 8, Shrunk. and Mini House on the Line co-hosted a mini holiday party on Instagram on December 14 and 15th, 2024. I shared a bunch of DIYs and Printables which you can find below!
1:12 Bean Labels
I shared this DIY on Instagram and folks loved it. So I figured I’d make my label file available to anyone who’d like to use it. Print out at 100% scale (or “Do Not Scale” depending on your printer), trim labels and attach to a cellophane bag of seeds or grains. I used red and white quinoa, mustard seeds and sesame seeds for my mini “beans.”
