    Learn how to make a miniature sink, faucet, and pipes using simple materials. I made the sink using polymer clay. The pipes are a q-tip and paper. The faucets are made from a pin, earring back, and beads.
    Assorted size round nail decor (I used the biggest size ball)

    Modern teardrop handle beads

    Miter Shears- this pair is highly rated and has replaceable blades
    amzn.to/3LchlUy
    Heat gun- I use mine to quickly dry paint, soften the glue to dismantle furniture and quickly cure polymer clay without an oven. Gets a lot hotter than a hair dryer.

    Craft heat gun that doesn't get as hot as mine

    I have lots of projects planned ranging from abandoned miniatures, furniture makeovers, dioramas, accessories, kits and Dollhouse Miniatures in multiple scales. I also have a large Harry Potter build planned for 1" scale.

    I’m always surprised at the lens by which miniaturists view the world. Who would have thought an earring back would look like faucet hardware? That grommet is a perfect drain.

    • @queencityminis

      I'm so psyched about that. I just bought the earring backs very recently.

    i am so in love with this porcelain look! miniature "toilet aisle at lowes" project here i come!!! In my real 1870 house, we have a lot of iron pipes used for little handrails on all of the outdoor stairs. These q-tip pipes are going to make an appearance as railings for sure! good stuff!

      @@queencityminis it'd be super easy. I'll just get a victorian dollhouse and an ebay lot of barbie clothes. Cover every surface with laundry .. piles and piles of tiny laundry. Voila! Seriously though, I'm currently sketching out a little courtyard area of our yard that I want to put inside a fancy victorian greenhouse that I'm making as a stained glass project. Also my 7 y.o. daughter and I are planning a dollhouse rehab youtube channel as a summer project, for better or worse. I don't know how you content creators manage ideas and projects so well!

    First of all, BRAVO for not using a 3D printer to make this. I absolutely appreciate that the sink was totally hand made. It turned out perfect - looking at it, I would have thought it was purchased. Second, you CRACK ME UP. I love your dry wit - "to be safe, have someone else hold it" - yup, love it!!! ;)

    This is so inspiring. Thank you for showing a few ways to make the handles. Amazing how paper can be used or qtips.
