TIPS

Be as specific as you can when you are selling your creations and take clear pictures. Be sure to include measurements for your miniatures.   The more information potential buyers have about your creations, the better able they will be to make an informed decision.

When selling to an international audience it is not wise to use coins for scale with your miniatures. Visitors from other countries do not necessarily know the size of your local currency.

Nail boutiques carry tiny decals for fingernail decorations which can be used on dollhouse plates and cups.
