I have created a handful of residents in my dolltown over the years. They each have a name, job, and unique personality. Amelia Kito is one of the residents who works as a graphic novel writer. She is a Japanese Canadian and that's where her last name "Kito" came from. (Perhaps her dad is from Japan.) Amelia published her first book  Cats Rule the Street in February 2024.  Today, I am posting her second book series that I created called Space Cat. In this printable, you have one book that has inside pages (Book 1) and three books without inside pages (Book 2-4). It would be cute if we took pictures of a doll reading a book and a stack of books on the side.  Here are some images from the comic book series. It was inspired by a popular graphic novel, Space Boy that my daughter was reading when I created it. As you can see, I put many unnecessary details in my printable. I say "unnecessary" because you can't even read these details on a 1:6 scale. Here are som...

The holiday season is coming soon, so I wanted to gather some craft ideas for miniature baking. Mmm, yum! 🎂🎂🎂 1. Katie's Baking Book Printable This is the book I created based on one of my dolls, Katie, who owns a bakery in our dolltown. I put "unnecessary" details into this book just for fun! Haha. The book has many recipes and photos you can use in a baking scene.  What you see in the picture below: Whisked Memories: A Baking Journey by Katie Miller Eggs in a white bowl and a whisker I borrowed from my daughter's miniature collection An egg I bought from Temu.  Pink hearts muffin pan I bought at Daiso. It was a mini hearts chocolate mould. I cut it into smaller pieces. A heart cookie cutter I made using a tiny piece of aluminum foil. A sheet of cookie dough with heart shapes I made using whole wheat flour + school glue + water.  A piping bag with whipped cream. I made it using a piece of plastic bag + wheat flour + school glue + warm white acrylic paint. Check ou...

Do you like miniature books? I love miniature books. The book is one of the first items I made for my dolls. When I started making miniatures for Barbie dolls back in 2020, I used to make simple miniature books by cutting and gluing papers. It was easy but looked...you know, not so great. Haha. Thanks to creators like this month's guest for New Doll Times Magazine, there are a lot of miniature book printables available online! This month, the magazine featured Luma, the owner of an independent bookstore in a dolltown created by Chris from  @ifiwereadoll . Luma's bookstore is called The Boreal Quill, a unique one-of-a-kind bookstore.  The Boreal Quill has a great selection of books, hosts book releases and signing events , and offers  a book-swapping program. How cool is this!? So far, two popular authors, Daho  Johansen and Kite Labile, had their book events. You can download their books from here  👉 Printables By Chris @ifiwereadoll Let's dive into the in...

Since I first saw Roamah's doll Instagram account @raika.miniatures.dolls , I have wanted to ask her to be in my magazine for the fall. Finally, it happened. Roamah created Raika and her stylish lifestyle. Raika has a dream closet full of wardrobes and accessories. (I don't want to show Raika's home to my dolls because they will probably get jealous!) With gorgeous photos provided by Roamah, I aimed to create this month's New Doll Times Magazine like a Vogue in a 1:6 scale. How did I do?  Inside of New Doll Times Magazine Here are all the pages of the magazine. Keep scrolling down for a 1:6 size magazine printable.

I made this tiny library employee ID card for my doll, Amy who works at Dolltown Public Library. In today's post, you will learn how to customize the ID card for your doll. How To Customize Library ID Card I created a template for the ID card so all you have to do is add your doll photo and change the name. Take a photo of your doll (face only.) Get a template for Library Employee ID Card Printable  and click on Edit Template. (If you don't have an account with Canva, you need to create one. It's free!) Follow the tutorial video. Print the file you just downloaded from step 2. (check the download file on your computer.) Use packing tape to protect the ID card. Fold the card, so there will be a front and back side. Glue it. Cut around the card. I left a tiny space around the card so it would look like it was laminated. Make a hole and put a string through it.  I hope it's easy to make. If you have any questions, please leave a comment or send me a message via Instagram @...

A few weeks ago, I posted a newspaper printable collaborated with Julia from @justken61 . (Check the post from 👉 here .) Julia has two Instagram accounts, @justken61 and @plasticplot . She creates doll stories that bring you a lot of laughs. In today's post, you will see more photos of Ken by Julia because Ken is featured in September's New Doll Times Magazine! There is so much drama around Ken that I thought it would be fun to make the cover look like a gossip magazine.  Inside of New Doll Times Magazine Here you go. The articles in the magazine are not related to Ken. I wrote something to fill the pages so the magazine would look real.  Magazine Printable Download New Doll Times Magazine is a 1:6 scale miniature magazine.

Today's post includes stories of a Ken doll, a great laugh, and a miniature newspaper printable. Have you seen posts by Julia  @plasticplot  on Instagram? Do you know she started a second account @justken61  dedicated just to Ken? Julia's posts are so funny and one of a kind. On her second account (@justken61), Ken is going through self-discovery. He has been Barbie's boyfriend (like in Barbie the movie) and realizes he is not appreciated enough... Here are some posts that I like and summarize Ken's self-discovery journey: Ken's realization Ken and Marla AwaKENing moment More Than Just Ken Barbie and...? KENvention Dolltown Daily News When I asked Julia if she was interested in being featured in New Doll Times Magazine, a 1:6 scale miniature magazine printable, she suggested the idea of using Dolltown Daily News (also a 1:6 scale miniature printable) in her story on Instagram. This is how today's printable was created. As usual, I input some information about Ke...
