Day 142: Writ small

It’s Arts & Crafts day!

Today’s Activity: Make a miniature.

Not a lot of space for your quarantine crafts? Try scaling down your efforts and making miniatures. Here’s a big collection of ideas for things to make tiny versions of, many of which only require printer paper. (Alas, many of the links to the actual tutorials are missing or broken.) This site full of printable papercraft models and toys is still active, at least.

If you have a bigger collection of craft supplies, The Mini Time Machine museum of miniatures has a lovely set of how-tos for creating your own impossibly tiny objects.
