Miniature general store projects for dollhouses, roomboxes and dioramas

General stores sell just about everything...

General Store - by John Stapes

Things in a store:

mops,and brooms in barrels with a sign "Brooms for sale x cents"
feather dusters
buckets
garden tools
hoses
ribbons and laces
long johns, dungarees, overalls
coffee grinder
mousetrap
rat poison and fertilizer
seed packages from printies.
don't forget to post a few broadsheets.
tinned and canned food
Post office was also often in the general store. Make little letters and parcels and stamps.
Cakes of soap, or a big block that could be cut up. Use Model Magic and paint with wood glue.

For mops cut a bunch of cotton twine in a medium length. Gather into a bundle and tie a little bit down from one end of bundle. Shove a stained skewer with a bit of glue on the end up through the middle of the bundle the "wrong " way. Flip upside down and smooth the twine and then tie again with red thread. Wrap the thread around and put a dot of glue on the end.
For a scrubber, cut the head off a child's toothbrush, sand both ends so they are even, drill a hole in the middle and insert a skewer.
