Creating miniature furniture is an enjoyable and rewarding process, especially when it comes to making a small but charming piece like a one-drawer bedside table for a dollhouse. Working in the 1:12 scale allows every detail to shine while keeping the project manageable and fun. A bedside table may seem like a simple item, but in miniature form, it becomes a beautiful way to showcase precision and creativity.

Our lessons are designed to be simple and easy to follow, even if you are new to working with miniatures. Each step is broken down clearly, so you can enjoy the process without feeling overwhelmed. For this particular project, we’ve created a PDF file that includes a diagram and all the necessary measurements. This way, you’ll have the guidance you need without having to figure out proportions on your own. The file is straightforward and meant to help you build confidently.

For this build, I rely on a set of trusted tools that help achieve professional-looking results in miniature woodworking:

12V mini sander – for quick, clean smoothing.

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.
