tiny tiny gardening tools??
Has anyone seen really small doll size tools for gardening? I have a pattern for the american girl dolls that is a gardening hat and apron and tote and I thought little tools would be so cute in the tote...maybe I will just have to use tiny silk flowers in the tote but if I can find tools I'd like that.

Have you looked in the doll house area at a craft store. If you have a Hobb Lobby look there where the doll house kits are. Good luck.

I have seen mini gardening tools at my $ store but I think they would be too big. They are the ones about 6 inches long for container gardening?

Here is a tute to make your own. http://miniatures.about.com/od/dollh...ss/shovels.htm
It would be a bit of work, but you could make them whatever size you want. |

thanks...doll house stuff would be too small but maybe in that section..thanks
Yesterday in the $ $tore there was a metal back scratcher that'd probably be the right size for a a rake. It telescoped out and when collapsed was about the size of a razor. |
I have found 5" gardening tools at Micheal's craft store and Ben Franklin's in the section where unpainted small wooden spools and candle cups are found. I made a wind chime from them and I have 1pkg. left if you would like a pic of them, just let me know and I will post it. The pkg I have left is a shovel, hoe and pitch fork.

Or try googling for terrarium garden tools.

Nancy's Notion has lots of American Girl accessories! www.nancysnotions.com.
|
you could easily make them out of fimo clay
|
These are probably too small, but you can decide https://www.etsy.com/listing/1266971...ools+doll+size

Got mine at Hobby Lobby! Good luck!
|
Maybe some tools for growing bonsai would work.
|
Nice to know about Nancy's Notions - my granddaughter's have American Girl dolls and I like to make clothes for them -- accessories for some would be so nice!
|
I saw exactly what you're looking for at a garden center...they were actually made of wood and metal like the real deal. The little hand shovel was about 2" long. I think these items were probably meant to be Christmas tree ornaments. Wish I could remember the name of the store, but these items are out there. Good luck!

You're a very creative person! Whenever I need an accessory for my dolls, I try making it out of Sculpy clay. If I don't have the color that I need, I just paint it with acrylic paint. Please give it a try. I've made scissors, a rotary cutter, a seam ripper, etc. all doll-sized. Now if I could only figure out how to put pictures on the QB!
