School House Furniture

i really need some sites. I' am making an architectural model for a school project. please give me some sites where i can get step by step instructions on making furniture as well as things such as windows and doors. by the way, the scale of my model is 1:40mm so its really tiny

You don't say what you want to make the furniture, windows and doors from. For example, do you want to use:
...paper, cardstock, or foam core board
...balsa wood
...clays of various types
...found objects

Windows and doors would just be openings in most models, I'd guess, so I'm assuming you want some kind of clear stuff for the windows or perhaps just molding around it or for the door something on a "hinge" with a knob?

If you're interested in making all kinds of miniature furniture from clays, and possibly also getting other ideas, check out these pages at my site:

http://glassattic.com/polymer/miniatures .htm
(my site is primarily about polymer clays, but homemade air-dry clays like bread clay or salt dough could be used, or better quality air-dry clays from the craft store like Creative Paperclay or Crayola's Air Dry Clay, could be used for many of them too).
You could of course make any of those at any scale you want.

Amazing home Furniture less space great work must watch

I'm doing taking a high school graphics course and I will be needing to do a model of a house I though it might look good to "furnish" it a bit for fun. Does anyone know where I would be able to purchase dolls house (the good stuff not the pink plastic stuff) ? thanks by the way I live in New Zealand so general stores or websites rather than US only chains would be great!

I don't know about New Zealand, but in Australia there is a good range of miniature furniture on ebay in the catergory of Dolls & Bears, sub category of Miniatures. You could also try places like : www.miniaturemagic.com.au, www.thedollshouse.com.au, www.aussiedollhouses.com.au, www.victoriandollhouses.com.au or just enter the following into a search engine: doll house miniatures site:.au and you should find a number of stores in Australia (site:.nz might find you some New Zealand sites too). Also, I find local bargain outlets - 2$ shops sometimes get some mini stuff that with a little paint and imagination work really well. Even childrens plastic toy furniture works if you coat it with a proper sealer that is designed to stick to plastic and then paint it to look like wood or cover with fabric. Good Luck!!

And also try the links at this addresss: http://ring.miniature.net/cgi-bin/list.p l?ringid=ForSale;siteid=hijinx

My Child turned four this past January. Of course not being five means you can't go to kindergarten. In the Klein school district in order for a child to go to pre-k, you have to be dirt poor. Even though it's a public school you still have regulations such as income which prevents you from sending your child to school. Daycare in the surrounding area cost $$$$$ big time, especially since I have two other children. My question is, does anyone know of a headstart in the Klein district or is there a way around the income guidelines? Once school starts I will have two going to school and it will help alot. Summer is here now and daycares raise tuition $20-$30! Can anyone help, cause I feel like i'm working just to pay childcare?

Maybe your child doesn't need to go to Pre-K. Check on line at some of the home schooling sites for the skills your child should have to enter kindergarten. If your child already has those skills then why send him/her to Pre-K. Headstart is usually to help those kids who have not gotten certain skills down pat.

As a former teacher I sometimes think we are trying to get the little ones into the school environment too soon. Whoops, I got in trouble for that statement before....

i'm doing a project where i have to make a house and furniture miniature sized for school. i have the house done but i want to make the furniture out of dough. what is the proportion of flour to water in order for the dough to be good enough? tips on making the furniture?

Salt Dough

Ingredients
4 cups flour
1 cup salt
1-1/2 cups hot water (from tap)
2 teaspoons vegetable oil (optional)

Mix the salt and flour together, then gradually add the water until the dough becomes elastic. (Some recipes call for 2 teaspoons of vegetable oil at this point.) If your mixture turns out too sticky, simply add more flour. If it turns out too crumbly, simply add more water. Knead the dough until it’s a good consistency.

If you want colored dough, mix food coloring, powdered drink mix, or paint into the water before adding it to the dry ingredients. Or you can paint your creations after baking them at 200 degrees. Baking times will vary depending on the size and thickness of the object, but make sure that all of it is hard. If the dough starts to darken before cooking is complete, cover with aluminum foil. Painted keepsakes will need to be sealed on all sides with clear varnish or polyurethane spray.

You can store your salt dough in a sealed container in the refrigerator, but usually not more than a couple of days.
