Printing tip

Print at 100% or Actual Size. Test on ordinary paper before using cardstock or photo paper, especially when you are matching an existing dollhouse or diorama.

Designing photo and polaroid prints for miniature scenes

Use this maker to create photo and polaroid prints for bedrooms, albums, desks, fridges and memory boards. The editable preview lets you shape the prop for the scene before printing, while the selected miniature scale controls its physical output size.

Make the design work at miniature scale

Choose an image with a clear subject because fine background detail disappears quickly at miniature size. Leave the border visible if you want an instant-photo look.

Printing and finishing

Use photo paper only after a plain-paper test confirms the crop and scale. Very glossy stock can reflect strongly in tiny framed scenes. Print at 100% / Actual Size so the selected miniature dimensions are preserved.

Ideas for using photo and polaroid prints

Try the finished prop in bedrooms, albums, desks, fridges and memory boards. Build a coordinated scene by repeating a few visual details—such as a fictional name, type style or color family—across related PICCOLUNE makers instead of making every item identical.
