I found a birdhouse for $1.24 at my local Walmart. I turned it into an EPIC fantasy house. Seriously, it couldn't have turned out better!!!!!

Hey everybody! Wow this video has really taken off! Thanks so much for your support! Several people have commented asking about how I did a few of the individual steps in this process that I, honestly, skipped over because my usual fan base likely had already seen me do it before. I honestly didn’t expect this many new eyes on the channel at once and to my new viewers I’m sorry I didn’t go into more detail, I’ll be more mindful from here on about explaining parts of the process I tended to take for granted. ALL THAT BEING SAID below I’m going to include some links to some past videos that include explanations on the parts I skipped over. I apologize for making you have to watch MORE videos but for now it’s the best I can do.
This is a video that includes an explanation on how I make my bricks:

This video includes an explanation on how to make the windows:

Will the plastic wire brush work on pink foam and where did you get it from?
You showed it I just didn't wait long enough.
No need for appologies, I for one do not mind watching more videos, quite the opposite 🙂
For those without access to foam or wire foam cutters, you can achieve a more simplified version of this using wood craft sticks, wall filler/spackle (to mimic rough plaster), and cereal box cardstock (for the roof shingles).
That is very true! I should try to do a video that way now that you mention it. Show people that there’s more ways than just the way I do it. Thanks for the inspiration!
HAY, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOU TIP. IM PRETTY BROKE N I LOVE MAKING STUFF OUT OF JUNK.👍😃🙏💜💚
Exactly what to do! And imo, I like that better because foam is eeeek chemically
Cardboard egg cartons can be soaked and made into pulp then use the permanent pva glue to turn into a putty and create whatever.
@StorycraftSociety agreed! I was thinking the same thing... awesome video but a video achieving something similar with junk drawer supplys and cereal boxes would be neat... minimalist but still look good for beginners
I came for some crafting ideas, but I stayed for the weirdly interesting education about door-physics.
😂😂😂
My favorite part is the wonky, slanted chimney.
I KNOW RIGHT!?! I don’t know why, but it just makes me happy.
omg a frisbee as a curve tracer. that is the ULTIMATE crafting hack 😂
😂😂😂
AWESOME!!!!
Thanks!!
What a super fun project. I love it when things like this say, "Take me with you! I'll make the perfect..." So cool
The irregularity of the brick work on the lower level is amazing. For one quick moment I thought you were going to sacrifice one of your beloved frisbees for crafting material ...
@Ryan Sullivan: A Junk Journal gal I follow, Pam from The Paper Outpost, has a saying. "Everything is a craft supply, untill proven otherwise". :-) Actually, I thought the same as you, about the frisbee!
"
"Everything is a craft supply, until proven otherwise". I REA:LY want a tee shirt with this on it. Trouble is I would never take it off!
@@nerowolfga8543 "Pam at the Paper Outpost" is who coined the saying. She sells the t-shirts on her junk journal channel. Love watching her, she's so up and lively! If you haven't already, you should check out her channel.
“We all grow together.” I love that. New sub.
Thank you!
VERY IMPRESSIVE!!!!! Love how you broke up the core shape and made it your own!!!!! Mordhiem is calling you!!!!!!
Thank you!
I am really glad the TH-cam algorithm brought me here! Fantastic build and I hope to see your channel continue to grow! You are great at what you do.
Thank you so much! It means a lot!
I like that you use a wire brush to make the timbers and the door and then you cut them thin that's faster and easier than using real wood plus it has better detail
I can already tell this is gonna be another great video..... imma have to go to the craft store now and grab a bird house....
This was so fun! What a clever idea.
Those are just amazing! What a spark of imagination!
I have a bird house just waiting for making into a great project like you've shown. You've got my creative juices flowing. My house is a different style so I may change a few incidentals like putting on a thatched roof. Imitation is the most sincere form of flattery. Thanks for the video.
Oh I bet a thatched roof would look great!
It's perfect ! I will watch more of your videos to see the painting process . Thanks
Love it when that happens. Something in the corner of your eye just.... pokes at your attention. It sortof whispers... ;-D
this project was so fun! thank you 🙂
Thank YOU for watching!
🎉Very cool 😎
Thank you
So excited to find your channel!!!
Thank you!
There's been many times that I've picked something up that I just thought "Yeah, I can definitely make something out of that"
I absolutely love this. You'd be surprised just how many people love this kind of stuff like I do. It's so darn good. Edit: I could see using this one for the perfect gnome Garden. 👏 👏
Thank you!
I've seen those little bird houses in Family dollar. I never imagined that you could do that with them. I'm really impressive. Very informative video. Thank you.
Something I noticed that you do different is that you texture the wood and then put the board lines in. It keeps the planks more visible. Thanks.
Thank YOU for watching! Glad I could inspire a new way of thinking!
Great delivery of instructions. Thank you for becoming one of my newest teachers!
You're very welcome! Thank YOU for watching!
Thank you so much for all the information and education I am getting from this projects and you. I am now ready to do some of my many projects and I’m so grateful that I came across your channel. God bless you.❤❤😊
Thank YOU for watching!
I would absolutely love a longer cut of this, with footage of you making the foam decorations and details that are added at 3:14 it would be really informative to see the process for that, as well as details like how you make the individual bricks etc. overall a great video! Would just love some more detail
Haha I guess I took for granted that I’ve touched on that stuff in past videos. Let me see if I can dig up some of my past videos that would explain that stuff.
This one shows how to make Timbers, given they’re log style, but the theory it the same

This one shows how to make bricks

This is a brilliant build. The slant on the roof makes so much difference
Thank you! I think so too!
Now that I have a proxxon I will definitely have to work with foam more. This was very inspirational.
Glad I could inspire you! Having a proxon makes the job SO much easier!
Okay - this is my first discovery on your channel, and I'm hooked. Great video quality and great tutorial. I'm a sub!
Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed it! Welcome to the channel!
I love your little house!♥️
Thank you!
that is such a cool idea!!! I wish I had the space to set up a terrain area to use things like that!!! But it really is a fantastic idea! And that house is beautiful!!!
You are so Awesome. You make it look so easy. It’s amazing how you can make a great looking $30 house prop out of a $1 bird house ….Amazing! Love it! 👍👍
Thank you so much!
@@StorycraftSociety anytime Boss keep on crafting!👍👍
That frisbee trick was genius.
Haha thank you!
Disc golf disc ftw! Love that roof!
Fantastic ❤
That's great, I have some wood birdhouse in my cottage, great project. (If only the snow that's as tall as me was not in the way between the house and the cottage.) I guess I'll be saving the video until later. lol
Oh man! Yeah don’t go getting yourself lost trying to get out to the shed, the videos not going anywhere!
This is by far one of the most simple, yet well done terrain buildings I have ever seen. So much fine detail.
I love making miniatures. Yours is fabulous! Thanks for showing how you achieved this delightful house.
❤ Shirley
Thank you so much!
Great build! Just found your channel and it’s good to see more of these builds out there!
That was so very cool! 😎
Thank you!
This tutorial is AMAZING!! Could you please share what type of tiny saw you used to cut the perches off & what type of foam you used? I’m new to miniature crafting & need to order all my supplies online 😩 Thanks so much!!! 🙏🏻☺️
I love the little cottage that you made 👏👏💞🌹🌹👍🙏💯 the good work don't ever the little houses that you made our beautiful ❤️
Thank you!
wow this is so cute Thank you for showing us this video.
Awesome!
Thanks!
Absolutely love love love it!!!! ❤️
all I can say is holy wow such talent and imagination...
Thank you!
This building turned out so great - one like from me
Thank you!
WOW!!! This is the first time I’ve watched your video. Absolutely incredible.
great video. 2 Questions:
1) You build a lot of houses, how often do you run encounters where you need a whole town area? I'd love to see you show us more encounter ideas/concepts for using these awesome houses you build.
2) Green Foam? Tell us more!
Amazing!
Thank you! Cheers!
Thes are so cute, and you are so talented. Great job on the video, very easy to follow and understand. I wish I had a bigger craft room. I would seriously entertain a new project.
Thank you!
this is super cool!
That turned out fantastic! Great job!
beautifully done!
Thank you!
I’m impressed with your creativity and talent! Such great ideas😊 Thank you so much for sharing ❤
First time to your channel and so much better that watching the crap on TV. I found it relaxing and intriguing at the same time. You should put a small light inside. Love it!
Thank you! Oh man, you just gave me some inspiration there!
Awesome build. Thanks man
Thank you!
Amazing.
Thank you!
This was inspired. I’ve been working with miniatures since lockdown and creating this gem from an inexpensive bird house was really a joy to watch.
I’m thinking that it looks like 1:44 scale, I’m going to keep my eyes peeled, I’d take the back off and use the bottom as the divider between the first and second floors. But great vlog, great delivery.
Thank you.
I’ve never played d&d, never build mini houses, but this was in my recommended and I enjoyed it. I love the final result, looks amazing. I keep envisioning one of those old school water wheel things next to it though. I don’t remember what they’re called but it would be super cool to see you create something like that. I’ll def be watching more of your videos and subscribing.
Oh that would be a fun build!
So beautiful !
"everything turns a little bit worse from this moment"
right before the painting stage, lol
So cool.
Thank you!
This was great! And the build came out amazing. Def will give this one a shot. Comment for the algorithm 🙏🏽
Fantastic work.
Wow that's awesome never thought to use a birdhouse. Your video was in my feed and stopped to look at it with my mom and we both loved it very much
That’s fantastic! I’m glad you both enjoyed it!
You’re amazing! I can’t even keep my hands steady to work with all those tiny pieces! That house was really cute!
Thank you!
It's fascinating to watch what people can do. I've watched only a couple videos, but sure I'll watch more. Beautiful results, I wish I could do something like this, I don't even know where to find those craft supplies
The way you did the door handle was pretty cool.
Thank you!
Love this Home, Homey!!!❤
Thank you!
Wow. Not even sure how this ended up in my feed, but I'm glad it did. This was a great video and I really loved how this birdhouse became this little house. So cute! I'm a crafter, but don't know if I would do something like this, but it was really nice watching you piece this together. I also liked how you chatted with the audience, made us feel a part of it too. Good stuff!
I don't play D&D but I love what you're doing here so I subscribed. Can't wait to check out some more videos!
Well thank you! It feels good knowing there’s people outside the hobby who appreciate what I do as well!
This is almost my exact reaction except at some point I DO want to do some of this. WOW!
Bird house beautiful😍
Thank you!
I just discovered your channel. Your video and presentation was amazing so I’ve subscribed. I’m normally into modeling (tanks and planes), but your art has stirred up a new interest for me. Thank you.
That’s fantastic! Welcome to the channel! Glad I could provide inspiration!
My husband used to all kinds of things like this. One of his favorite mediums was paper mache & cardboard. He was a amazing artist in this way.
That’s awesome!
I have a similar thing, it's a bird house kit, you've just inspired me to do something crazy with it. Thanks!
This turned out really great (and despite being a new viewer, I don't mind the skipping over parts because this isn't the only channel I watch that does diorama-style builds)
The only thing that gripes me about videos like this is the intro which implies that the whole thing cost you $1.24 - which is partially true but only for people who do this regularly. For people just getting into the hobby who don't have stacks of XPS foam or foam-core or mountains of cardstock lying around (not to mention the tools you use); it's going to cost them (and thus; people like me) a hell of a love more than $1.24 to make something like this. XPS foam sheets (at least here) are NOT cheap (mostly because you have to buy in bulk and that gets expensive if you're just trying it out), foam-core I've never actually seen anywhere near me, I'd probably have to get it on amazon or something and again; it's not cheap. I get this isn't necessarily designed as a beginner video but when you title something in this way, you're going to feed that algorithm and bring in a lot of new viewers (youtube loves those thrifty-titled videos) and I just think it's a little misleading (maybe not quite click-bait but certainly along those lines).
Still, as I said; it turned out great and you've still got a new sub with me, I just feel like a bit more background into the cost(s) of this hobby could be better explained.
A great way to use maths! Measurement is so important to make such beautiful structures like this one.
Awesome! 👍😊
I love that you used a disc my dude!
Haha thank you! I’ve got a million of them lying around so you make die with what you’ve got sometimes!
Great build! I’ll be watching more of your videos. 😊
Thank you!
Nice one.
Thank you!
I'm a new subscriber. I like your tutorials. It helps me to move my imagination into following these steps. Thanks.
Well thank you for subscribing! I’m glad I could help!
Wow this is amazing! Such a unique build. Great work 👍
Thank you! 😁
A supply list would be incredibly helpful.
Cool!
This is a cool idea!👍🏼
Thank you!
Hi Garmin, I'm new to your channel and wanted to compliment you on doing an excellent job on demonstrating and explaining your build process. Beautiful job. Looking forward to seeing your new video builds.
Thank you so much!
😮incredible!
Thank you!
That was awesome! It was fun!
Thank you!
Cool idea
Thanks!
Very creative!
Oh my gosh, I absolutely Love your work. This is totally a project I would love to do.😊
As usual, you are always so creative! Love this!
Thank you! Cheers!
Fantastic love your stuff. About the door, I always thought that the Z went on the inside of the door so that you have a better finish and can't be kicked in easily xxx
You are amazing! Thank you to show us your beautiful work. I enjoyed a lot
Thank YOU for watching!
That was cool to watch. Well done!
Thank you!
I wish I liked DND. I would love to have a reason to make these. ❤
I mean, you could just make them because you want to? Make dioramas, or model towns for trains. Or just stick em on a shelf cus they look cool! Nothing says they HAVE to be used for D&D!
The Z brace ALWAYS goes on the inside.
