birthday help

I'm making a birthday present for a friend and want to make her lots of miniature stuff. I'm going to include bought miniature stuff too like buttons and ribbon but I need more ideas of stuff whether bought or made. I need things that fit into a medium sized matchbox or around that size

You need to get your hands on some Fimo - coloured play clay that goes hard when you bake it, just incase you didn't know, there will be how tos with fimo in the projects. Make things she likes out of the fimo, pick a theme for the whole thing so that it's easy to decide which colours to use etc.

Well I saw this AMAZINGLY awesome mini scrapbook on here a while ago, and maybe you could make one of those?

The projects were by Charmaine if you want to look it up. They look great Happy

Also, what queen said Happy

ohhh [building on corrie's idea] YOU COULD MAKE LITTLE YOU'S! lol Like a little stick you, and a little stick him/her


or, just think of an inside joke between you guys, and make something to do with it really small Happy

Like, there was an inside joke between me and my x, and it was the sound a duck makes [its a long, probably inappropriate story] so I got him a little rubber ducky Happy

or like, me and my friends have an inside joke about mormon-whore-leper-joo-janitor, so I am going to make them little dolls [they are on here, ay*leesh*uh and klio, but luckily, they never come on here] Happy

You can by her a pretty glass jar and some ribbion and some really pretty origami paper! And full the jar up with lucky stars. You could have a stay for every month you've known each other or something

what about using femo to make mini charms for her/his backpack, cell phone, what have you. also maybe mini candies, i've seen some good recipies on this site as well as others that you could make. femo is amazing. if they like coffee you could find them an espresso coffee cup (their really small) and fill it with chocalate covered coffee beens, their also amazing. you can usually find them in one of your near by groceire stores. if there into the weirder side of life you could make them little wire/yarn people. also if their artist they'll apreciate it. i know i do. its a neet trick to make a mini 3d version of your piece your trying to draw. it gives you a better understanding of the picture. but i'm totaly off topic now! so lets see what else. oh! little mini books with qoets from their favorit authors maybe? if i think of anything else that could be mini i'll let you know!
