Hey there! I've been getting a lot of requests for more updates on projects and wanted to share my IG handle here. You can keep up with me there for live updates and stories on current projects. Working on a new dollhouse for a miniature coffee shop. You can see story videos of all the projects from the past.... See you all there! instagram.com/thesquaretospare
When you think you have all the furniture you need, here comes this cute little sofa you must try to make!!! Thank you so much for sharing your talent with your viewers, great tutorial 👏👏👏👏👏
Dorothy Hubbard awww thank you!!! Haha no amount of mini furniture is ever enough for me either. I browse Pinterest for home decor stuff and I'm like "I need that in mini!" 😂
I’ve always been fascinated by miniature furniture since I was a young girl, and I never tire of watching you make your beautiful creations. I love it so much. In fact, I think I just decided to permanently devote time to do so. I cannot deny myself any longer! Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful designs. You’re wonderful. 💖
OMG you make it look soooo easy that I have made a piano and looked just like yours....:) Can't wait to make this, the turn table and more. Love your videos also because you get right to the point and not alot of talking about everything out side of the project, thank you.
You are so amazing!! My sister has dreamed of having a dollhouse since she was a little girl. I've been building a small display one for her 40th as a surprise. Your tutorials have been a HUGE help!! Thank you!
You are simply amazing, Cath! The instruction, the details, the measurements. Thank you ever so much for enriching my life with miniature craft projects! You bring me life. Thank you!
kimberleygrace hehe you're too sweet Kimberley! I'm so glad you find the info useful! There aren't enough mini instruction videos out there so I'm more than happy to help fill the gap 😊
I love this process video. It is easier to cover everything and then connect them together. Thanks so much for taking the time to make these how to videos. They're super helpful! 😉
This looks soooo good and it seems sturdy enough to last a long time. I'm making a miniature set of my favourite show and this helps tremendously. Thank you
I would have loved having TH-cam tutorials like this when I was a kid, I used to make all my Barbie Doll house furniture..and yup, t was pretty wonky looking. Guess I must have figured out what I was doing because I decorate homes professionally now and often create decor furniture when I can't find what I'm looking for in stores. lol. Still, it would have been fun...nice video, thanks!
Dang girl,what can't you make?!😍 I've made the guitar, an I'm digging it.am glad that I found this channel, cuz now I wanna make a recreation of our home for my daughter, she's 1yrs old,and by the time she gets old enough, it'll be made for her enjoyment and great way to teach about the house too.Keep up the great work,I got my new hobby. 👍😎
Nice tutorial! You inspired me to try it. I made mine 9" long to seat 3 fashion dolls. Materials needed: xacto knife or other sharp blade -1/4" thick foam core board, 15" x 20" (a pretty standard size) -thin cotton or polyester batting -fabric glue (personally, I like Beacon fabric glue; Walmart) -some kind of lightweight fabric in a color you like - I found a nice piece at the second hand store; I'd suggest getting at least 1/4 yd (I make mistakes...) -wood stain - optional 1. seat base - cut 2 pcs: 6 1/4" x 2 1/2" rectangle out of foam core board; glue together 2. back - cut another 2 pcs, 6 1/4" x 2 1/4" and glue together 3. arms - cut 4 pcs 2" x 3" (you could cut a long 3" wide pc, then cut four 2" pcs from that) - glue 2 together to make one arm 4. Seat cushions - cut another 4 pcs, 2 1/4" x 2 3/4"; glue 2 together to make one back cushion & the other 2 for the other cushion. (3:28:00) add a bit more batting to the front of each before upholstering for a poofier look. 5. Back cushions - 2 pcs: 1 1/2" x 2 3/4" Do NOT glue these together! (4:00:00 extra batting pc is 8" x 1") 6. 1/4" square dowel - cut 2 pcs to 7 1/4" long 7. 2 pcs of dowel cut two 2 1/2" long pcs 8. Legs - 4 pcs of dowel cut to 1" long 9. (4:40:00) assembling the wooden base and legs Hope this helps! If there are any errors, please let me know and I will edit.
Loving this tutorial. I am making it from cardboard and it's coming together! Thanks for your awesome tutorials. I quite often watch them just as they are so therapeutic, but I adore making them too.
I’ve been looking for easy and cute dollhouse videos and absolutely love these! I’d love to see more! Little accessories or even a kitchen. Thanks so much for your videos!
I love the way you explain everything. Especially the trimming for cutting. That part always trips me up. Great video!! Even i can make it with the pain i have in my hands. Thank you sincerly
Love that you did an upholstered piece!!! I have been considering doing a couch for a while, and you have inspired me once again... Such a talented lady you are!!!
Pamela Palmarini awww thank you so much Pamela! I'm so happy to hear that and I hope you have fun doing your couch project :) I bet it'll turn out amazing!
Could you please put your measurements in the info box or on a list during the video, so I can pause and print. I love your projects and I have recreated some in 1:6 scale for play dolls. I really look forward to your videos.
this is a compliment: your voice reminds me of bmo from adventure time. it makes me so happy. bmo has the cutest friendliest most comforting voice. 🥹😩🤞🏻
This looks easy enough for me to do and I've got all the materials. If I wanted to size this up to Barbie or American Girl size using your 1:12 scale measurements as my starting point, would I just double the measurements to get Barbie 1:6 scale? What about AG doll size which is 1:3 scale? Would I need to take your measurements and triple them? I truly hope I don't confuse anyone else reading your post. But I'm new at this and I want to get it right. Thanks in advance!
Hi Mary, go to Small Stuff's Print Minis and they have a scale calculator. You put in the original size (the one given here) of the piece and then the scale (1:12 in this case) you want and it gives you the answer. www.printmini.com/whatscale.html. If the link doesn't work from youtube copy it and paste on your web browser and it'll work. I just tested the link and it worked.
Lovely clean work👍🏻A fun fact?? A long time ago, my mother told me that a good quality couch should always have centre legs for added support so it won’t ultimately sag. Obviously yours never will but maybe for added authenticity. 😉
Hi The Square to Spare, Good day to you. This DIY Miniature Couch (No Sew) was Super FUN to watch and your couch turned out AWESOME!. Your attention to detail and easy to follow instructions make it even better. EXCELLENT Job! Thank you for sharing. I'm really glad you're still doing these Wonderful creative DIY videos. You are one of my Favorite You Tube Crafters. Take care, wishing you the very best, and I hope you have a wonderful weekend. liked, and shared as always. Peace & Joy :D
@kishmorris honestly it's for convenience the materials are cheaper if you buy them on your own but you pay extra for the permission of the work and the work being done (I know you probably didn't want an awnser but I really wanted to share please don't take offense)
I discovered you though suggested, and I am a woodworker/maker...you are quite an amazing artist/maker. I cannot believe how simple you make some of this look. Truly amazing work.
Could u please do a give away where you give away all the materials to make one of your DIY becuase that would be so cool to win And love ur vids they r awesome ❤️❤️
Thank you for this great video tutorial ❤️. I love this sofa, the colour of the fabric you covered it with is so pretty. It looks like periwinkle blue or maybe lavender on my cell phone monitor, I must get some similar fabric for my miniature sofa. Miniature curtains would look beautiful in this colour too.
Why does my fabric glue not work for this!? It immediately comes apart. I’ve tried several different kinds of fabric and let it sit, the fabric peels right off!! What am I doing wrong?
I love your videos. I have started on a model railroad (HO scale (1:87) and you have given me so many ideas for interiors for my buildings. I would love to see you build a farmhouse one day or a country cottage. Keep up the awesome work!
She's over there making beutiful doll stuff while I'm over here trying to make a doll couch out of cardboard and cheap glue 😂 (this is not meant for hate because I love all her art work)
I watched this the other day and wanted to share my take on it. I used your tutorial as a jumping off point to create my own version. instagram.com/p/BUQZEP2DiMl/?taken-by=jenibryan
id like to see a gallery of all your pieces so far. like a miniature art gallery. that would make a cool video
N5omn1ac did you notice that someone already mentioned this and she said it was a good idea. :)

Do you know the measurements you used to make it 1:6?
Yes, I would also appriciate if you share 1/6 measurments!
this is a compliment: your voice reminds me of bmo from adventure time. it makes me so happy. bmo has the cutest friendliest most comforting voice. 🥹😩🤞🏻
This was so amazing and it was easy and it looks REALLY good
I never thought about combining brown paint and water! That is genius!

It Small Stuff’s Print Minis. I posted so long ago I had forgotten I shared Small Stuff’s info. Glad it helped!
Lovely clean work👍🏻A fun fact?? A long time ago, my mother told me that a good quality couch should always have centre legs for added support so it won’t ultimately sag. Obviously yours never will but maybe for added authenticity. 😉

Another no sew?! WOW!!!! TYVM!!

You are insanely gifted, and your voice soothing. I absolutely love all your work!
Yaaaaas! I'm here early today! XD Wonderful tutorial as always!
I am loving your tutorials, really easy to follow. Good job!
Technically, you can just do this with plywood and make a life size couch
It’ll be rock solid though 💩
Why do we buy anything 😂
I prefer plywood as well

Can you please make a bow and arrows???? I love your miniatures!!
MeaninglessGirl great idea!! I can definitely do that :) For now, I have a video showing you how to make a crossbow and bolts :) hope that helps!
I wish I had a shrink ray so I can sharing myself and use all the furniture. I would literally live on this couch.
Could u please do a give away where you give away all the materials to make one of your DIY becuase that would be so cool to win
