One of the most wonderful things about miniature crafting is that you don't need expensive supplies — some of the best materials are things you'd normally throw away. In this compilation, Karina brings together her favourite projects that turn everyday recycled items into charming miniature creations. Toilet rolls, matchboxes, bottle caps, and scraps of fabric all get a second life as tiny furniture, decorations, and accessories. It's the joy of turning trash into treasure.
