My daughter is interested in making dollhouse scale stuff. I've
purchased some bags of small craft wood and she's made some tables
and chairs, and a bed. I've also taught her how to use the Dremel
tool for cutting and sanding. Book shelves have proved tricky for
her, but I helped her make a set that aren't totally wonky.
She's 13, and much more skilled at sewing than woodwork. (The bed has
nice sheets and pillows, the table has a good table cloth. There's
also an abundance of Fimo stuff.) I'm able to make basic stuff at
regular size, but I've not had a lot of practice at small stuff or
fine detail.
This isn't furniture but something she may like?
Take a photo of her - full front.
Print it "to scale", glue it to a piece of real thin plywood
(I used 1/8") and cut the wood to match.
Glue a base on it so it stands up.
Now she can put herself in her doll house!
