Thank you so much!! The only budget and easy tutorial on whole youtube!!
Yay! Glad it helped!
Just made my first diorama and don't want dust ruining it. Thank you Elise! Very simple instructions, just measure twice cut once.
I'm glad you found it helpful, David! I think it's a nice temporary solution, unless and until you want a glass and frame store to do a proper pretty one hehe
Thank you so much this will really help me in making display cases for my LEGO sets. Really looking forward to it. Also this is my first time viewing your channel and I don't know if I will watch anymore videos but you earned my subscription. Also cool forest unicorn diorama it looks really cool.
awww Thank you so much Jonathan. I appreciate your honesty of not watching anymore of my videos haha. But I understand. Really appreciate the sub very much though! Happy LEGO-ing! :D
Cool, this is awesome! I'm thinking of building an end-table that also works as a display case for a large boxed toy. This gave me a very good idea of how to do it now. Thank you for sharing your technique!
Yay. I'm glad this has helped in some way. All the best!
Nice project. I'm glad I watched this one, it adds to the idea I had of building model Jet display cases.
awesome! all the best!
Love your work! Keep it up! You motivated me to try to protect my action figures! Thank you!
Aww thank you so much for your kind comment 😊 if your action figurines are small enough, you can check out Daiso if you have in your country. They have readily small plastic display containers to help protect! :D
Thank you so much. You did a fantastic job. 😊
Awww. Thank you for the kind words 😄
more people should be liking this! great DIY alternative to costly cases out there
Thank you so much D. Unfortunately, because it is plastic, you can get a lot of scratches and it is not a snug fit of the cover on to the base so it does have its pros and cons :) I really appreciate your kind comment!
I know i am very late, but I would like to thank you because you gave me a great idea to solve my space problem and start creating my own displays.
Awww. I'm very glad this has been of some help to you! Space has always been a problem for me too haha. Good luck and have fun in your art journey!
@@EliseWongCreations ty very much, you are awesome !!!!!
@@oresteselvira aww thank you so much for saying that. You are very kind 😊❤️
Great display and a pretty face make for a great video! Ty!
Aww Thank you for the kind words. I'm glad you liked it :D
It was of great help! Thank you!!
So glad you found it helpful!! 😄😄😄 Really appreciate you cmoment
I am 3D printing and painting tons of super hero's. I need to build some bigger displays but this would be awesome for smaller dioramas.
Hehe yeah!
loved your videos, really solves my tight buget, if you don't mind may i know what the thickness of your acrylic sheet you used on the video?
Thank you! I'm glad my videos can help you! I just measured and thickness is 2mm.
Awesome video!
Thank you so much! 😄
Great video.
Thank you
Use a steel ruler when you're cutting! 😮
I didn’t have a steel ruler on hand when I made this tutorial. Still don’t have one lol. But good suggestion
thank you Wong
You're most welcome! :D
you can wet sand the melted part and use plastic polish
Oh that's a good idea. Thanks for sharing
Came for the case construction tips, stayed for the gorgeous face.
Aww. Thank you. That's very nice of you to say :)
Hi-I am trying to make an acrylic doll case like the one I see in your video with the Asian dolls in it. Do you have a video on how to make it. Is it acrylic pieces with washi tape? I have Asian dolls in a case, but the case broke. I can't find one already made with the correct dimension.
Hey there. sorry for the late reply. I would probably do the same thing I did with this one. Acrylic sheets and plastic cement. But I dont recommend these on a lovely work of art. I usually use these as a backup to keep the dust away until I take it to a proper glass and frame to do a good quality one.
Great video!
What blade did you use?
Thanks! I just use a regular box cutter. Nothing fancy
Can you share links of where did you buy the acrylic sheets?
Hey there Lorena. So when I did this, I went to my local craft store that sold a lot of crafts but over the years, they have been focusing on soap and candle making so they dont sell acrylic sheets anymore. Another art store I know that sells them is Art friend ( artfriendonline.com/EN/OnlineUsers/Index ) but i have never used their online site. I am usually a walk in customer. I recommend you search online Acrylic Sheets cause it's better suited to where you're at.
Wow
Thank you
What thickness do you use for the acrylic sheet?
2mm
What glue to u prefer to use on ur display cases?
Hi Amanda, I use plastic adhesive or acrylic glue. It melts the plastic as soon as you apply it so it will fuse the plastic sheets together (kinda like welding) but you have to be careful with it, if you put too much and it overflows to a place you don't want it to be, you cannot undo the process.
Elise Wong Creations awesome thanks
@@amandahill7540 no problem.
I wanted to made for my lego city and my lego men
Thank you for the video! Do you know a website that I can buy these materials in the United States? It would be really helpful! Thank You!!
Heyo. I'm glad you found this helpful! Hmm.. I'm from South East Asia so.. Very far away haha. Erm. I do hear American artist I know saying hobby lobby is a place to get lots of different things so maybe you can check it out? You would be looking for acrylic sheets and plastic adhesive :D
@@EliseWongCreations thank you 😊
Amazon or eBay.
@@kevinnelson66 You will have to check it yourself I'm afraid
You should show the glue bottle. I want to see what glue brand you use so I can buy it.
I used a plastic adhesive made by my local craft store, Craftiviti so it's not a known brand internationally or even locally. You can try super glue or Tamiya Cement although I have never tried those so use with caution. Good luck with your project.
Where do you buy acrylic case?
I buy it from my local art stores in Artfriend or Multifilla
what kind of glue you use?
Hello I use plastic adhesive or acrylic glue. It melts the plastic as soon as you apply it so it will fuse the plastic sheets together (kinda like welding) but you have to be careful with it, if you put too much and it overflows to a place you don't want it to be, you cannot undo the process. My local art store sold their own formula which is not known. You can try Tamiya cement, miniature artists go for that although I have never tried it myself so use with caution.
Do you really use the telephone on your desk? Looks like a really old model.
Yes I do but very rarely.
Nice, though be careful when you use your cutter. :> Your thumbs...
I try my best to always be careful. Thank you so much for your concern!!! ❤️

How much are the displays at daiso japan??
I'm unsure whether to make some or just buy them. Also, where do you buy your supplies?
I am from Malaysia. Its been a long while since I bought one from daiso. I got mine for like maybe MYR5-15 (about USD1.50-4.00)depending on size? If you're from malaysia, you can also check out Artfriend at mid Valley. I got my supplies from Craftiviti but I am not sure if they're selling those anymore, they have moved towards soap and candle making. But I'm sure you can also buy the supplies from Artfriend
