Are you looking to add a touch of elegance to your miniature bathroom? Creating a 1/12th scale bath rack can be a delightful project, perfect for both seasoned crafters and beginners. In this guide, we'll walk you through the steps to make this fabulous bath rack that will enhance the charm of your miniature world.


**Cutting List:**

To begin, gather your materials and tools. You will need:

- 0.8mm (1/32 inch) sheet: 9 x 2mm (3/8 x 5/64 inches) - Cut 11 pieces for the bottom strips.
- 0.8mm (1/32 inch) sheet: 9 x 8mm (3/8 x 5/16 inches) - Cut 2 pieces for the soap racks.
- 1.5mm (1/16 inch) sheet: 58 x 6mm (2 9/32 x 1/4 inches) - Cut 2 pieces for the sides.
- 1.5x 1.5mm (1/16 x 1/16 inch) strip: 43mm (1 11/16 inches) - Cut 2 pieces for the support strips.

**Step 1: Prepare Your Materials**

Using the cutting list measurements, carefully cut the sheets and strips according to the required dimensions. Ensure precision in cutting to achieve a neat and professional look for your bath rack.

**Step 2: Assemble the Bottom Strips**

Take the 11 pieces cut from the 0.8mm sheet and arrange them parallel to each other, leaving a small gap between each strip. These will form the bottom of your bath rack, providing support for toiletries and accessories.

**Step 3: Add the Soap Racks**

Position the two soap rack pieces (cut from the 0.8mm sheet) perpendicular to the bottom strips, evenly spaced along the length of the rack. These racks will hold miniature soap bars or other small items securely.

**Step 4: Attach the Side Panels**

Take the pieces cut from the 1.5mm sheet and affix them vertically to the sides of the bottom strips and soap racks. These side panels will give structure and height to your bath rack, creating a visually appealing display.

**Step 5: Install Support Strips**

Finally, glue the support strips (cut from the 1.5x 1.5mm strip) horizontally across the top of the side panels. These strips add stability to the rack and ensure its durability over time.

**Step 6: Finishing Touches**

Once the glue has dried, sand any rough edges and paint or varnish the bath rack in your desired color. You can also add decorative elements like tiny towels or faux plants to personalize the rack further.

Voila! Your 1/12th scale bath rack is now ready to adorn your miniature bathroom scene. This project not only hones your crafting skills but also brings a charming functional piece to your dollhouse or miniature collection.
