👍 [Challenge & Achievement] Update building first miniature house

Day 2: Today I finished assembling the teapots and cabinets.

The tassels were tricky to make, but after a lot of fiddling, I managed to get them together. I finally threaded the top thread through the center of the tassel with a needle, so the thread sits nicely in the center.

It takes some getting used to building so small, but with tweezers it works pretty well. So far, no problems.

Thank you @Tricia12 :hugs: So far, I’m having a lot of fun building it. It’s a nice change from the wooden kits from Rokr.

Haha you are right @Nita_Davis I think I searched the floor for parts about 80 times because they kept falling haha ​​it’s so small that it’s difficult to hold and the small beads shoot out of the tweezers :sweat_smile:

Im still working out the best tools. I have tried a few different tweezers but i havent found rubber tipped ones! I could easily add some rubber or something to a pair i have though! Thats actually genius!

I kept all the parts on the big and in the box. To avoid it from going missing. However, noticed one of the part was missed from the set. :unamused_face:

Yes the doll is included and the tree looks very difficult to make :sweat_smile: Luckily, it’ll be a while before I have to make that. Now I can first get a handle on building small decorations.

Thanks for your support :hugs: I’m wondering if it would be helpful to prepare the decor in advance so I can arrange everything. How do you do that? Do you follow all the steps in the manual exactly?
