Here’s another project we completed on our pop-up camper repair/remodel. We had temporarily used tape to hold the torn screen sections; but it wasn’t attractive and was definitely not the look we were going for. After thoroughly cleaning the canvas, we found that this section of screen (that sat under the damaged roof when closed) … Continue Reading
If you have a pop-up camper and are repairing or replacing your curtains, you will probably need new tabs. The tabs have a special ridge that fits inside camper curtain channels. These tabs are sewn directly into the curtains and slide into channels inside the camper, allowing them to be pulled open or closed. The … Continue Reading
This was the final project for our pop-up camper remodel. We wanted an awning that didn’t look “DIY” and that had support arms attached to the camper (versus poles that are staked to the ground).

Rather than have several, long seamed repairs I decided to try to make the patches look decorative. After deciding on a design using large … Continue Reading
We epoxied our tiled kitchen countertops and the wood mullion face trim about 4 months ago. Our only regret is that we didn’t do it years earlier. The countertops are better than we had hoped for and are a 100% improvement over our old, chipped/broken tiles with their crumbly, dirty grout lines. The best part … Continue Reading

To make a dollhouse window cornice, the only supplies you’ll need is cardstock, fabric, and adhesive spray. If you want … Continue Reading
Hemming fabric for use in dollhouse miniatures gives drapery, upholstery, and bedding a finished look. Unfortunately, seam stitching looks out of place for 1:12 scale fabrics. The easiest way to get very clean, crisp hems for use in dollhouse fabrics is to glue the hems. The bottom hem of these curtain panels were glued prior … Continue Reading

Joist Spacing The minimum recommended spacing for most composite deck joists is 16 inches on center. If you are laying your boards on a 45 degree angle, you’ll want your joists spaced at 12 inches on center.

Getting somewhat realistic looking pleats on drapery for dollhouses without a miniature pleater can be a challenge. It’s difficult to get fabric to conform to a 1/12 inch scale. This DIY dollhouse curtain pleater is made using bamboo sticks mounted onto a a board. It is inexpensive to make and can be reused indefinitely. The … Continue Reading
