This method is brilliant! I can’t believe after 8 years this is the only video I’ve found that uses paper towels for grout. It is so much easier than dealing with real gout or plaster. After my sample piece which turned out so realistic I’ll use his method for the whole fireplace.
I just received a 25 pack of cup holders for this. I'm going to go around the frame of a mirror and give it to my husband for Father's day. I think it's going to look great in his man cave. I'll probably have to hot glue them down, then go over it with mod podge to get it to stay down on the curved edges. Thank you for the idea!💗
I guess im asking randomly but does anybody know a method to get back into an Instagram account..? I somehow lost the account password. I love any tricks you can offer me!
@Enzo Cristiano thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site thru google and im trying it out now. Seems to take quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
You can wet the cut tray and press it flat until it drys into a flat sheet. Also you can add water to the glue and use tissue paper in layers and press a large area into stone shape.
I made the stone floor right inside the mushroom house I built. I love it, but not sure why some of the “stones” seem to be popping up and how I can fix it. Love this channel! I really love minis and it has given me much needed inspiration with the holidays being over.
I love this technique. I learned it from you last year and have used it in 3 of my projects so far. I am so grateful for your sharing it! That is a beautiful floor. Love the colors you chose.
This is great. I think it will look great around the pond as well as on the floors. I will probably try this for the outer bit of the stable to make it look realistic. Thanks for uploading This. I agree about the mess it's half the fun!
Love this video! Great explanation and the Stone looks very realistic. I want to do the lower portion of my miniature potting shed in stone. After watching this video I think I feel confident enough to try. Thank you!
The effect is fantastic, very realistic. But I think it would be easier to use a brush to cover the surface with glue then laying down the cardboard pieces rather than gluing each individually.
I am blown away...YOU are soooo smart! "Thank YOU for (killing) the sound when you did the drying... My ears love you. Hint: Use cheap eye make-up (Dollar Store) with a brush to color the stones... I make Fairy Houses and have resorted to the makeup... saves you fingers ;) Thank YOU for sharing this... Beautiful job...
Great tutorial, I bought a lovely big dolls house a few days ago from our local on line buy and sell. As a project. It was cheap. £12 because the front door is missing and theres water damage to the floor on the ground. Easily fixed. I 'll try this floor thanks. It could be a wall too
Brilliant ideas. I'm going to try this but is it possible to use mod podge instead of the glue for sticking the kitchen towel on the masking tape and then again using it for the "stone" pieces? Thanks for all your great ideas
Your video ROCKS !! LOL Just gorgeous!! I love it..... ! I imagine the stone walkway could be made with much smaller "stones," correct? My dollhouse is very small.
Lol it rocks! And yes, can be made any size. If you look at my more recent videos I do a stone pathway using peat pots and I paint those ones. There’s many different ways these can be used and coloured, they could be made into tiny bricks as well.
@@WhereTheGnomesLive How awesome! Thanks for these great ideas! When I make miniature stuff, I feel like I am real small and walking around in my creation! LOL
Thumps up because I did enjoy watching! It turned out great and looks so much like real stones. I love the idea of coloring them with chalk too. Now I just need to figure out where to get some of those cup holders. Have you just saved yours from getting drinks or did you order them? I am going to tell my friends to start saving them for me.
I don’t suppose this would work for an outdoor fairy garden? Or do you have any ideas for that at all? Other than using actual pebbles of course, I’m struggling to find flat ones! Thanks in advance, and I only just found you but I love your videos! X
oh NOW I find your video! oi vey! This is perfect!!! Thank you for teaching this idea and how to!!! I'm making a fairy house for my great grand baby and NEED this! Question though: Wouldn't mod podge work to seal it?
thank you so much and yes, mod podge would seal it, so would regular white glue. I actually just uploaded a new stone tutorial today if you're interested in seeing that. I have some new techniques and materials th-cam.com/video/jC1LkDYJN08/w-d-xo.html
Wow! That's fab! I only just started watching your craft yesterday now I'm totally hooked really want to try somthing! On one of the tree stumps you used your own made clay would air dry clay work rather than oven baked?
You can use all sorts of different clays I'm sure. I don't think it really matters what kind of clay, as long as you can carve in the lines for bark and it keeps those lines while it dries.
@@WhereTheGnomesLive ooh that's great thank you not sure what to start with I think I might try the spooky tree first as iv never made anything like this but really want to
What brand acrylic sealer did you use? How thick did you apply it? At 8:02, it looks like you applied a pretty liberal amount. Did that disrupt or subdue the chalk coloring at all?
I would paint the paper towel after it dries whatever color I want the grout. Hadn’t thought about it but I will try it. I am interested to see how it turns out😀
I always let it dry to the touch then continue, just makes it easier for adding the stones, less slippery. Since this video I found a dot of hot glue to set them in place is much faster and then spread the pva glue over top once they are all down
After the paper is dried and painted can it be considered water proof or would I need to do another step to make it compatible with being an outdoor decoration?
Thank you so much for your video. I plan to create a doll house for my little girl but since I am French and I do not understand your language, can you tell me if the colored sticks you use are greasy pastel, dry or chalk sticks... Thank you...
I think they are called “chalk pastels”. You can also use paint, like acrylic and watercolour, anything that will add a bit of colour or you can leave them plain too. Have fun!

You can wet the cut tray and press it flat until it drys into a flat sheet. Also you can add water to the glue and use tissue paper in layers and press a large area into stone shape.
That was an awesome video!
The color of the floor is perfect-subtle, yet beautiful!
What a great idea for a medieval diorama! Thanks for sharing 😊
you're welcome, glad it gave you some ideas 😊

i really love this floor type. i want to try this style next!
Absolutely fabby, just wow. I have no use whatsoever for this floor but loved this. :)

Thanks for sharing such a simple bit effective way of doing flooring... Thanks
wow what an ingenious idea! I hate the feel of cup holders but now I can make them useful!
I am soo glad I found you channel! I love this technique! I also love the tree trunk technique!! Awesome!! Thank you for sharing your ideas!!
aww, I'm so glad too! You're welcome and thank you so much :)
The effect is fantastic, very realistic. But I think it would be easier to use a brush to cover the surface with glue then laying down the cardboard pieces rather than gluing each individually.
That colour was subtle but very noticeable in making it 'natural'. Superb
Thank you so much 😊
Very inspiring...you are ! You make it look so easy but it takes a true artist to know what they are doing.
love these, it is so easy, now i will be saving my cup trays. thanks for sharing. have a great day.
Amazing... You make everything look so easy and attainable! I can't wait to start in my own!
+janice greer yay! That's what I always hope for :)
My goodness but you're creative!
Awesomeness. Just great 👍.

This is just amazing 👌👏👏👏I’m in love with the outcome 😍
Thank you sharing that beautiful can be affordable, so ❤️ your channel!
It's beautiful! I'm going to try to make a stone wall with this method, for my Alice In Wonderland diorama. :)
I am blown away...YOU are soooo smart!
"Thank YOU for (killing) the sound when you did the drying...
My ears love you.
Hint: Use cheap eye make-up (Dollar Store) with a brush to
color the stones... I make Fairy Houses and have resorted to
the makeup... saves you fingers ;)
Thank YOU for sharing this... Beautiful job...
Absolutely wonderful.....thank you so much for your tutorial!
I'm going to use this to make a patio for my dollhouse garden.
Also, an excellent excuse to just get messy. :P
+Bewilderbeastie that's so awesome to hear! Have fun :)
Do you happen to have any suggestions for a more geometric pattern? Just cut instead of tear?
+Bewilderbeastie yes, you can cut them and make a pattern
+Bewilderbeastie and I should add, paint the backs with glue instead of dipping so you can see where to lay them
Thank you for the pointers!

@@WhereTheGnomesLive ooh that's great thank you not sure what to start with I think I might try the spooky tree first as iv never made anything like this but really want to
Would mod podge matt be a similiar sealer?
What brand acrylic sealer did you use? How thick did you apply it? At 8:02, it looks like you applied a pretty liberal amount. Did that disrupt or subdue the chalk coloring at all?
How would you make different grout colors if you didn’t want white? Love the tutorial. I am planning on trying it soon.
I've done different grout colours using a thin paint brush and regular craft paint
I would paint the paper towel after it dries whatever color I want the grout. Hadn’t thought about it but I will try it. I am interested to see how it turns out😀
How can I make the stone water proof,want to use outside.Also the trees that you made.
Do you wait for the paper towel to dry before you start laying the "stone" or does it matter cause its all glue?
I always let it dry to the touch then continue, just makes it easier for adding the stones, less slippery. Since this video I found a dot of hot glue to set them in place is much faster and then spread the pva glue over top once they are all down
After the paper is dried and painted can it be considered water proof or would I need to do another step to make it compatible with being an outdoor decoration?
yes, it would have to be sealed with an exterior sealer
COULD you also paint glue onto floor board then add the small pieces ...and then paint over glue over the whole area?
absolutely.. I think I did say that in the video.
Can you use newspaper instead of paper towel?
do you mean for bark? Or for under these stones?
Thank you so much for your video. I plan to create a doll house for my little girl but since I am French and I do not understand your language, can you tell me if the colored sticks you use are greasy pastel, dry or chalk sticks... Thank you...
