If you love miniatures and dollhouse furniture, this tutorial will guide you step by step to create a miniature wooden wardrobe in 1:12 scale. The design features two main doors and two drawers at the bottom, making it a stylish and functional piece for any dollhouse.
I rely on a set of trusted tools that help achieve professional-looking results in miniature woodworking:
- Sandpaper – to smooth edges and prepare surfaces.
- Transparent brown stain – to bring out the natural beauty of the wood grain.
- Wood oil – to protect and enhance the finish.
- Jeweler’s saw – for delicate and precise cuts.
- Small table saw – to speed up straight cuts.
- 12V mini sander – for quick, clean smoothing.
For this project, I used 3 mm plywood, which is perfect for detailed crafting. To cut the straight parts, I relied on a mini table saw, while the jeweler’s saw played a major role in shaping the curves and fine details of the wardrobe.
Before assembling the pieces, it’s very important to sand the wood thoroughly. This step ensures smooth surfaces and a more professional finish. For the final touch, I applied a brown putty/stain, which gave the wardrobe a beautiful and realistic look, resembling classic wooden furniture.
To make the process easier, I prepared a step-by-step video tutorial that demonstrates all the stages clearly, so even beginners can follow along and build their own wardrobe successfully.
