Sooo cute. I kept stopping just to look at the tiny details. There are plenty of small parts, yet they never felt tedious to me. The kind of project that leaves you feeling proud when you finish.

The Story Behind It
The White Rabbit appears at the upstairs window with his pocket watch, but Alice’s tea party has already begun on the terrace. Roses climb the stairs, playing cards turn up among the leaves, and a little swing waits around the side. In this corner of Wonderland, there is always a reason to stay a little longer.

Why You'll Love This Kit
A storybook cottage with a surprise at the window.
Dreamy Cottage is a DIY miniature house kit inspired by Alice in Wonderland. A small mechanism brings the White Rabbit to the upstairs window with his pocket watch. Below him, rose-covered stairs lead to Alice’s terrace tea party, while playing cards, a hidden tearoom and a little garden swing invite you to look around the cottage. Warm lighting picks out the windows and greenery, giving the finished model another mood after dark.

FAQs
Quick answers before you build.
What's Inside The Box?
Each kit brings together precision-cut wooden parts, DIY materials and illustrated, step-by-step English instructions. Pre-printed details and LED lighting components are included where they’re part of the design.
We also add practical extras such as tweezers and selected building tools to many of our kits. These extras vary with the design and its assembly method. Due to shipping safety restrictions, glue and batteries are not included. Please prepare your own if needed.
Will Items Ship Together?
Your order may arrive in multiple packages if:
- Items ship from different warehouses (US/UK/AU...)
- Large orders require separate boxes
But don't worry! You'll receive:
• Individual tracking numbers
• Shipping notifications for each package
• Priority consolidation when possible
Does it come with working lights? How does it work?
Our light-up designs include LED lighting components to bring your miniature scene to life with a warm glow.
Some kits use USB power, while others use batteries; the power source is marked on each product page. USB-powered kits need to stay plugged in. For battery-powered kits, please prepare your own batteries in the type specified for the kit.
Is This Beginner-friendly?
Absolutely! Our kits are designed for crafters at all levels. Each comes with:
- Color-coded components for easy identification
- Illustrated instructions with magnified detail views
New to miniatures? Try our "Beginner Level" starter kit - we're always happy to recommend the perfect entry point!
How Long Does It Take To Build?
Building times range from 3-20 magical hours depending on:
• Kit complexity
• Your preferred pace (many enjoy spreading over cozy weekends)
• Optional detailing like custom painting
Most crafters tell us the process is wonderfully relaxing - pour some tea, play soft music, and watch your tiny world come alive!
Do I need any extra tools?
Please have a pair of scissors ready, plus your own craft glue if your kit needs it and batteries if it is battery powered.
We provide tweezers, and selected kits also include other small assembly tools. Glue-free designs may include adhesive stickers or double-sided tape instead of liquid glue. Glue and batteries are not supplied due to shipping safety restrictions.
What Kind Of Glue Should I Use?
Please prepare your own glue if your kit requires it, as glue is not supplied due to shipping safety restrictions. These are useful options:
- White PVA craft glue — a good choice for paper and wooden pieces.
- Clear-drying craft adhesive — choose one labelled as suitable for the specific materials you’re joining.
Test a small, hidden area first and follow the adhesive’s directions for application and drying. Some glue-free designs use the included stickers or double-sided tape instead of liquid glue.
What If A Part Is Missing Or Damaged?
We carefully inspect every kit before shipping. However, if any part arrives missing or damaged, please submit a request through our Parts Replacement Service page.
We offer one free parts replacement within 90 days for every order.
You can also contact us directly at contact@hinooki.com, and our team will get back to you as soon as possible.

Overall rating: 5.0 / 5 from 20 reviews.
This was my first project like this and I had a great time with it. Some sections needed concentration, but that was part of the enjoyment. A lovely result and a very enjoyable process.
The finished piece made all the careful little steps worth it! Some sections needed concentration, but that was part of the enjoyment. It made a thoughtful gift, and the recipient was thrilled. 🥰
A really charming way to spend a rainy afternoon. I liked that I could pause at any point and pick it up again the next evening. I would do this one again just for the building experience.
I had a genuinely lovely time putting this together! I liked that I could pause at any point and pick it up again the next evening. I am already looking forward to making another one.
This was fun to make and turned out well, but I did need to improvise once or twice. Very satisfying in the end, just not quite as effortless as I hoped.
This was my first project like this and I had a great time with it. Some sections needed concentration, but that was part of the enjoyment. No complaints here... just a lot of happy crafting time.
A really charming way to spend a rainy afternoon! The pieces released cleanly and most of them fit with a nice snug click. Really pleased with how it turned out.
At first, good quality overall and a rewarding finish, but definitely take it slowly. Everything was organized well, so I did not spend ages hunting for pieces. The assembly order could be clearer; reading several steps ahead saved me some frustration. The tiny printed details are crisp and give the finished piece real character. Overall I am happy with it and would recommend having good tweezers nearby.
I am happy with the finished piece even though the process was not perfect! The final connection was stubborn and needed more pressure than I was comfortable using. Four stars because the result is wonderful, even if the directions could be clearer.
I opened the box planning to do one section and completely lost track of time. It made a thoughtful gift, and the recipient was thrilled.
This kept my hands busy and my brain pleasantly quiet for a few evenings. I worked in short sessions and found the whole thing very relaxing. Absolutely worth taking your time with.
Such a satisfying little build from start to finish. My partner joined me for part of the build, which made it even more fun. No complaints here... just a lot of happy crafting time.
I bought this as a screen-free project and it absolutely delivered! I liked that I could pause at any point and pick it up again the next evening. Five stars from me — no question.
Such a satisfying little build from start to finish. Everything was organized well, so I did not spend ages hunting for pieces. Absolutely worth taking your time with.
A really charming way to spend a rainy afternoon. I appreciated being able to customize a few details as I went along. It now has a permanent spot on my shelf. 👍
I have made a few similar kits, and this one was especially pleasant to work on. I worked in short sessions and found the whole thing very relaxing. It now has a permanent spot on my shelf.
Mostly a smooth and relaxing project, with a few confusing moments. I used a tiny amount of glue in a couple places just for extra security. I wish the diagrams were larger because a few orientations were hard to see. Once the lighting came on, all of the little details suddenly felt alive. I would make another, but I would organize all the pieces first next time.
What a sweet project — I smiled the whole way through. There are plenty of small parts, yet they never felt tedious to me. Cute, detailed, and genuinely fun to make.
This was my first project like this and I had a great time with it. I keep turning the light on just to admire it.
