1. Popsicle stick
2. Skewers
3. Sunboard
4. Jute Thread
5. Tweezers
6. Scissors
7. Adhesive
8. Scale

1. Stick one small popsicle stick horizontally across a vertical one, forming a “T” shape.
2. This is the main support of the easel.
3. Attach a smaller stick behind the vertical center stick using glue.
4. Stick two wooden sticks diagonally on either side of the central popsicle stick.
5. Fix them properly using another cross-stick near the base.
6. This step ensures a firm triangle base.
7. Stick a popsicle stick horizontally near the base – this will be the shelf to hold items like a mini canvas or card.

1. Cut a rectangular piece of sunboard.
2. Gently score (don’t cut through) and fold the lower portion forward to form the table’s base extension.
3. Measure and mark three equal rectangular slots on the front side using a scale.
4. Using a precision cutter, carefully cut out the marked slots.
5. Cut side panels and glue them perpendicular to the base structure to give the table its depth and side support.
6. To form distinct drawer compartments, cut and place small vertical panels inside the box behind each drawer opening.
7. Once all parts are fixed, double-check the drawer holes for equal sizing and clean finish.

1. Cut a small rectangular base piece from sunboard. This forms the bottom of your drawer.
2. Cut and fix two side panels vertically to the longer edges of the base using glue.
3. Cut a matching piece for the back and glue it between the side walls to complete three sides.
4. Attach a neat front panel (slightly wider for a handle illusion) to enclose the drawer.
5. Once dried, place the drawer into its designated space in the miniature table to ensure it slides or fits smoothly.

1. Take a standard popsicle stick and mark equal-length.
2. Use a scissor to carefully cut along the marked lines.
3. Then join them using adhesive.
4. Next, cut a skewer into small pieces which will serve as the material for the table legs.
5. Divide it into four equal sections.
6. Using a craft scissor cut along the markings. Take your time to ensure the cuts are straight and clean.
7. Then attach them to the table frame. This will complete your table structure.

1. Start by cutting a clean rectangular piece of sunboard.
2. Sketch the shape of drawing plate over the sunboard.
3. Carefully cut along the drawn lines.
4. Once the plate shape is ready, glue it onto the surface of the miniature table you made earlier. Align it properly to look neat and realistic.

1. Take a piece of thread and cut a small bundle from it—this will become the bristles of the brush.
2. Gently untwist the thread to separate the fibers. Fluff them slightly with your fingers to make them appear like fine bristles.
3. Use scissors to trim the ends of the fibers uniformly to achieve a clean brush tip.
4. Cut a small portion of wooden stick and apply a tiny drop of glue at one end.
5. Wrap the fluffed thread bristles tightly at the glued end of the stick. Hold it for a few seconds until secure.

1. Use a sharp blade or craft knife to cut a small piece from the tip of a silicon gun nozzle . Ensure the cut is clean and straight.
2. Take a pair of tweezers and carefully pick up the nozzle, ensuring it retains its shape. Spray a gentle coat of color before handling further or assembling it into your project.
3. The assembled brush arm is inserted vertically into the miniature holder fixed on the table. The base keeps it upright and steady.
4. A mini paint palette with tiny blobs of paint is placed nearby — it acts like the working station for the brush.
5. Using tweezers or fingers, the brush tip is gently moved to touch a paint color on the palette. This shows the brush being used like in real painting
6. The brush is then guided over the mini drawing plate. It begins to create strokes, completing the effect of a functional miniature painter.

This mini easel setup is more than just a decorative piece—it’s a tribute to the creative spirit. Whether placed on a shelf or used as part of a dollhouse studio, it brings warmth, charm, and craftsmanship together in one tiny frame. The combination of the table’s drawer details, the carefully made brushes, and the compact brush holder makes this a perfect project for miniature lovers and craft enthusiasts alike. It’s small in size, but rich in imagination.
