A practical guide to building miniature worlds

Sharon Harvey’s guide treats miniature scenes as projects that can be planned and assembled from accessible materials, including small household items suited to reuse. It covers finding inspiration, choosing materials and sourcing them, then puts those ideas into practice through five complete projects in different scales. Illustrated step-by-step instructions address both the scenes and their components, from furniture and soft furnishings to plants, food and lighting. The book’s broad range of elements makes it useful for exploring how small details combine to give a diorama its character.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Adults new to miniature making who want guided projects.
  • Experienced miniaturists interested in working across different scales.
  • Crafters who enjoy reusing household materials in hands-on projects.
