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)

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.

“To be safe you should have someone else hold it.” I literally lol’d. 😂 Your work is brilliant btw.
Me too!!! Bawhaha. Love, k
So did I!!! Hahaha
Thank you! 😁
Pure genius! ❤
Sometimes you don't realize you were doing something dangerous until you watch your footage back during editing. Then you realize you're lucky you still have all your digits.
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.
I'm so psyched about that. I just bought the earring backs very recently.
When my daughter was young she and I got into dollhouse miniatures in a big way. We traveled to regional shows and took classes so trust me when I tell you that this woman is a master of her craft.
I really thought the sink was store bought before I watched the video. Beautiful job as always!
Thanks so much! 😊
Yeah, I was CONVINCED this must've been store bought!! Incredible
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!
Very cool! Maybe you need to make a mini version of your antique house.
@@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!
I love how you gave options for the faucets - mass produced, beads, or making them from absolute scratch - so absolutely anyone can do this. Wonderful tutorial once again ❤❤
Thanks so much!
How it went from rough looking clay to smooth white porcelain is amazing!! This is inspiring and thats what I'll tell TH-cam if they ask why i liked the video
Excellent! Tell them
TH-cam needs more miniaturists building from scratch to help newbies get into the craft 👏👏👏👏
I agree 👏
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!!! ;)
Thank you very much! I appreciate that
WOW ! Absolutely brilliant. I'm always impressed when someone creates things using 'everyday' materials. You excel at that.
(I laughed out loud at "if you want to be safe, let someone else hold it") 🤣
Haha 😆 Glad you caught that
I loled at that comment as well😂
I snorted my coffee when you said “to be safe have someone else hold it “ lol😂
😆 I'm awful
I am in awe that you made the sink. Wow! Then I'm so impressed that you made the faucets.❤
I wanted the entire thing to be made from scratch, so the metal faucets had to go.
@@queencityminis I couldn't believe that you made those too. You are Super Woman.😉
Ok this is just stinking...or sinking? cute. OMG! Love it.
Sinking cute! 😆
I love chuckling as I see you invent😊
That's awesome 😎 I'm glad you had fun
I cant wait to see what roombox materializes out of this sink!😊🫶🏾
Oooh, you have no idea. I've been working in the background on something for way too long...
You are so full of talent. What an awesome sink
Thanks so much 😊
Thank you for sharing your talent!❤️🇨🇦
You are so welcome!
Wow, this was so inspirational. Who knew I didn’t need to buy thousands of dollars of supplies, but could make my own. I've been working on my doll condo for a couple of weeks. So glad I found your channel. I'm sure I can find some other inspiration beforebI finish it. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful! You don't need to spend a lot to make a lot of minis
Earring back?! Who would’ve thought! So creative,
Thank you!
At several points I said, "Genius!" I also love that you shoutout who you you get ideas and techniques from.
Thank you! I love supporting one another in the miniature community.
So awesome! Thank you for sharing your talent.
You are so welcome!
I am in awe! This is so brilliant!! Can't wait to give it a try! Thank you for this !
Hope you enjoy it! Have fun
Girl, you are awesome 🙌🏽❤️ Love your tutorials
Thank you so much!!
Thats the cutest sink ever!
It's a cutie
You are impressive !! What beautiful ideas, what good work and what generosity. Thank you so much.
You are so welcome!
Looks great! Reminds me of a sink my grandparents had in a bathroom!
It's such a classic style. Thank you!
I find your videos inspiring and will be adopting some of your techniques for my own miniature making. Thank you so much for sharing your visions.
You're very welcome! Thank you
Wow, you are brilliant! All your miniatures are very beautiful.
Thank you very much! I appreciate that
Hi, watch your videos from distant Germany. I love the way you guid us through all the little details you`re creating to make those mini artworks perfect. Thank you and Greetings!
Awesome, thank you! I have a close friend from Germany.
I have a Chrysenbon (sp?) sink from their bathroom set I’ve had for years. But now I want to make my own sink! Pure genius!❤
I love Chrysnbon! Their pieces are perfectly to scale.
I just love everything you put together! You’re amazing!💗
Thank you so much!!
Awesome! It turned out amazing. Nice job!
Thanks a bunch!
I am so overwhelmed by your videos
Thank you 😊
Love how this turned out! Thank you!
Thank you! 😊
Perfectly executed with maximum aplomb and SKILL!😎
Incredible results, as always. Thank you for the giggle, too. 😅
Glad you enjoyed it!
That is so freaking cute! Great instructions, you really make me think I can make one too! I probably can't but you sure make it look easy!! Thanks!!
You could probably do this! I baked it a few times, making one simple shape at a time to make it a lot easier to make.
Wow! I can’t believe you made that with the stuff already in the house! Thank you! You are such an inspiration!
Thank you so much! It was a lot of fun
Absolutely brilliant!❤❤❤
Thank you ☺️
Wow that is awesome. Love the size of the sink. It looks like it was mass produced. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
So nicely done!!
Thank you! 😊
Fantastic work!! Thank you for sharing
Thanks for watching!
Love your tutorials! So inventive!
Glad you like them!
So many wonderful ideas and tips...thank you for all of them. Wonderful piece of work!
Thank you so much!
This looks so realistic! I am absolutely amazed by your work 🙌
Thank you so much 😀
Excellent project and thank you so much for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Absolutely perfect little sink! The details make it stunning. Thank you for showing us how to do custom faucets. Great video!
Glad you liked it! Now I wanna make a kitchen faucet with the other type of handle.
It’s amazing how you know all these little tricks xxxx
It's laziness! I'm an impatient crafter, so I find all kinds of shortcuts and tricks.
Great job. Looks so real. Love your videos!
Thanks so much 😊
You amaze me everytime I watch your videos.....thank you for sharing
So nice of you 😊
Wow! Gorgeous creative and so incredibly realistic! You are so talented! Thanks, Kathleen
Thank you Kathleen!
Beautiful job!
Thank you!
Amazing, Thank you so much for sharing. so talented. Absolutely incredible..... Laura
You are so welcome!
lol. Have someone hold it. 🤣
You are such an inspiration 🙌🏼.
Thank you 😜
I love your resourcefulness. Your work is beautifully done.
Thank you so much!
Very nice, Shyla.
Thank you!
OMG I love how this basin turned out! It goes to show you really do need to trust the process as when you pressed the clay over the mould, I wasn't sure how you were going to bring it all together, but you did and it looks phenomenal! Can't wait to see what project it turned up in 🤩
Thank you! I didn't realize how truly ugly the beginning stages were until I read the comments. I knew it turned out great, so I was unconcerned. It really did look like a mess in the beginning 😆 I like creating shapes likes this by baking a simple shape first and using liquid clay and clay to add basic shapes around it. It's so much easier than trying to sculpt all of it at once. This was easy; baked basin from a sheet of clay, then three sheets for the top, front, and back.
You are pretty creative and I like that about you too. Have a great day
Thank you so much 🤗
That sink came out phenomenally well! At the beginning I thought there was no way what you started with would end up looking so smooth and polished, but seriously I should know better than that with your skills and talent. Bloody fantastic!
Yeahhhh, it goes through an ugly stage 😆
@@queencityminis 😆😆😆
great tutorial thanks a bunch
You're welcome!
Looks great! I like the idea of letting some one else hold it! LOL 🤣
Maybe your least favorite child? Or a spouse?
This is so inspiring. Thank you for showing a few ways to make the handles. Amazing how paper can be used or qtips.
Glad it was helpful! I love thinking outside the box.
Turned out great!
Thank you :)
Great work, as always. I appreciate your attention to detail. Great tips on how to use wood glue to add some dimension.
I got that tip from Bentley House Minis way back when she did her abandoned coffee shop project. It's a great technique.
I really enjoy your videos. Especially because you give techniques that we can achieve with what we have on hand! no need for expensive fancy tools! The result is always great! 😍😍
thank you so much for sharing with us! 💕💕💕💕
You are so welcome! I try to make my videos accessible. If I have an odd supply most people don't have, I like to offer an alternative.
How utterly beautiful and amazing 😍
Thank you 😊
you should have more views....that is so awesome.:)
Glad you think so!
If being TOO clever were a thing, you'd be the picture definition! That sink is awesome!
Thank you, thank you 😊
You are amazing. Thank you for this wonderful tutorial.
My pleasure 😊
you are fantastic in each video. hats off. from INDIA
Thank you so much 😀
That is awesome!
Thank you 😊
Super cool! It's so cute too!! Very inspirational 😁💜
Thank you!! 😊
Very impressive. I’ll hold that sink for you!
Thank you so much 💓
The grommet fitting perfectly for the drain is satisfying to watch😆
It's the little things in life 😀
Wow, this is amazing. You’re very talented. ❤
Thank you so much!!
Beautiful!
Thank you!
Where were you in the 60’s when I was making miniatures! …..Like Tiffany lamps out of ping pong balls! Fabulous!
That's amazing! I hope some of the minis you made are still around.
This is awesome! You are so talented. I love the content on your channel.
Thank you so much 😀
That is so cool, I have never used polymer clay before but I bought a starter pack with a heap of colours after seeing Little Gretchen make food for her dollhouse/roominghouse and thought it was about time I gave it a try.
I struggle with making polymer clay food. I love Little Gretchen's simple techniques. It looks great without being too advanced like Sugar Charm Shop's work. Gorgeous, but out of my skillset.
Absolutely amazing talent ❤❤x
Thanks!
Superb! Thank you for sharing!
My pleasure 😊
Awesome! Great work!
Thank you 😊
A work of Genius! 🤩
Wow, thanks!
Absolutely brilliant! You are so creative. I love your videos!!!
❤ SayessDesign
Thank you! 😊
This was brilliant. I totally love it. My sink needs a new pipe so...I always have my husband hold minis that I'm drilling 😂😍✨
Smart lady 😂
A small bench -top vise with felt or leather lining the jaws might work to hold stuff for drilling.
Its awesome ! Thank you !
Glad you like it!
This was great...
Thank you 😊
Awesome. I need a sink...so I will try this.
You should! I baked mine a couple times to lock in the shape and kept adding clay in stages to make sculpting it easier.
Wow! Amazing work!!❤️
Thank you! 😊
Incredibly cute. ❤ I’m going to let it sink in how 😊
Lol
Nice!
Awesome job. I just love your videos and can't wait for the next one❤
More to come! 😁
That is adorable 🤗❤️
Thank you 😊
This is really cool.
Thank you 😊
Simply amazing!! 😅❤
Thank you! 😄
wow absolutely amazing 👌
Thanks a lot 😊
Adorable!
Thank you 😊
Wonderful you are so clever.
Thank you! 😊
I learned soooooooo many things.
Mission accomplished 💪
perfect!
Thank you 😊
Genius. You should apply to be on Best in Miniature.
Isn't that a TV show in the UK?
How flattering! Thank you
You are amazing!
Thank you so much 😊
Your sense of humor slays me.
Thank you 😀
