I decided the easiest way to make my set, with the most practicality considering the human hand would be to make it small enough to be one room, but large and open enough to be able to fit in a human hand and also to maneuver both the hand and character.
I decided that wood would be a solid thing to build it with which I thought was important as it could be easily knocked by the hand.
First I cut the wood to the sizes that I wanted, then I painted the floor and put wallpaper on the walls before nailing it altogether as well as using glue.
I put in a window to make it look more homely. This I did by just sticking curtains onto the wall. They were closed curtains which makes sense as in the story my character just wakes up and so it would make sense that the curtains weren't open.
I added a bed, a table, and a chair. These were made with matchsticks, icecream sticks, fabric, and the with foamy stuff. The fabric was stuck to the bed using hot glue that unfortunately melted a bit of the white foamy stuff but it wasn't visible so I was able to hide it.
The little man, who I ended up naming "Larry" later on, was made out of clay. I made a few eye and mouth shapes using clay that I baked to harden.
I was happy with the final set as it was easily transported to where I would be shooting. I thought it looked pretty good and it was effective to use as a set because it wasn't too large or cluttered without looking too bare either.
