PATBIDLACK Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 Here is a picture of some of it. I thought I would use for Elizabethan paneling, but flooring also sounds interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corwin Posted September 14, 2008 Author Share Posted September 14, 2008 maybe ceings with beams though realistic wite looks better. Empty hamster water bottles a little 1.5 inch plastic cyinder with a spin top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PATBIDLACK Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 How about plaster gauze. I bought some on sale just because I thought it would work for an interesting effect somewhere. LOL Haven't thought of one since then. Maybe you can inspire me. :angry: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 Interesting wall textures, drapery effects (let it dry over a form), architectural features. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corwin Posted September 18, 2008 Author Share Posted September 18, 2008 Maybe a mini tent? Any use for red bees wax besides a feature wall? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 Melt it down & make mini candles with it. Sculpt it into mini fruits/ veggies. If it's jeweler's wax you can sculpt it and make a mold for castings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justmesue Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 Just thought I'd pull up the post for you, Luanne. There's some awesome reading here. Also, has anyone figured out what we can use spare fish scale shingles for yet? Other than shingling of course,Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiniaturePro Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 (edited) Fish scale shingles....Depending on the size, (cut down if needed) put 4 together to make planter boxes or use for flower bed edging. Turn them curved side down for the fringe on an awning. Again depending on the size and style maybe even cut them to make various small arch top doors? ie. a mailbox door UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU < my awning impression lol What about those shaker covers with the holes in them off of the inside of spice jars?

havanaholly Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 Why not use fishscale shingles for chair seats? Better yet, folding chairs. I save the shaker inserts, too. with the jars they're nice for controlling dispensing the tiny no-hole beads or glitter/ craft sand. Other than bases for mosaic tabletops, though, or manhole covers, I'm not sure what else to use them for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corwin Posted September 26, 2008 Author Share Posted September 26, 2008 Well How about paing them a rusty brown for modern wall art? Size 15 Hard Leather Dress Shoes in good shape? Too small. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

havanaholly Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 Backs for mini statuary/ knickknacks? Shaker inserts can also be used for planter holders for the table part of mini macrame plant hangers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiniaturePro Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 Thanks! I did use one of my shaker inserts with the larger holes for holding cones in an ice cream shop but I have tons of these. How about empty tic tac containers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhonda Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 empty tic tac containers: small aquariums if they are put on a shelf you would not be able to tell how 'deep' they are. could also be used for terrariams (sp) Empty disposable cardboard salt and pepper shakers (the kind that come 2 to a package) I also have some plastic ones, they are white and black and have fluted sides.

PATBIDLACK Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 Empty disposable cardboard salt and pepper shakers (the kind that come 2 to a package) Make one of the paper ones into a shower. First cut out the door then reattach the door with hinges and paint it. You can cut squares in the door and put plastic in them attach a towel rack to the outside. Paint or tile the inside and outside. The handles off worn out paint brushes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhonda Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 oh I should of said these are shaker sized about 2 inches high and quarter sized in diameter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
