I love the bed and bedding! Just one thing, Jolene, (it doesn't really matter, and you're too young to know this) back in the day, we didn't really have "fitted" sheets, or they weren't common. It was simply just another flat sheet tucked up under the mattress 😁.
I think it's still pretty common practice in hospitals, but I don't know for sure.
True, I think that it's still the same military bed making with flat sheets in hospital too.
That is so awesome to know. Thank you so much for sharing, I really didn't know that and love to learn all about the history of household items. I'm glad you shared that with me. It technically another flat sheet🤭🥰❤️❤️
Oh my gosh don’t toss your bottle of Fabri-Tac. Put acetone based nail polish remover in it and roll the bottle and tip and turn the bottle until it mixes in. Start with a small amount and keep adding more until it’s the consistency you want. It may take a while blend in. I’m you over-thin, leave the cap off a little while to let some of it evaporate. Fabri-Tac is wonderful and way too expensive to toss. I’ve thinned down the same bottle over and over again. Hope this helps.
Thank you so much for sharing that lovely trick. I knew there was something I could do and just couldn't remember. I would cut the bottle open before I tossed it.😂 You are so right this stuff is expensive. Thanks so much that will be super helpful.🥰❤️
If you hammer along the frame it hardens the wire Jolene, I would cut all the components, shape them and hammer to harden before gluing or soldering the pieces together. If you have a hard flat surface, like a metal block, that's perfect. It's noticeably harder afterwards. I love this bed!
Thank you so much for sharing that tip. Just yesterday, I actually thought of hammering wire and started looking into the necessary tools. 🥰❤️
@@tinykeyholeminispractice on a piece of scrap wire first. Aluminum wire is very soft and will probably dent pretty easy. Practice will also help you learn how to strike with flat part of the hammer too! Good luck! I love the bed!
Your mattress is so lovely, I’m glad you didn’t cover it with bedding😊
Do you need to use a plastic or rubber hammer? Aluminum is soft so would it Mar easily?
@@dinky6620I always use a metal hammer against a block but you can get other kinds I'm really not sure about them. I always make sure I'm hitting it flat with the flat of the hammer, unless of course you want to achieve the dented 'hammered' look, I usually do it for wire buckles and aluminium that needs hardening for miniature stirrups on mini horse tack.
I love the oversized mattress! The bed and linens remind me of my Mamaw's bed. I'm not sure I would have added the stains, though
You did an awesome job making the bed and linen,you are so clever. The frame of the bed is wonderful and the mattress and bed linen are brilliant too. Like you said it is lovely to see a bed unmade ,beds are alway made up .Thank you so much for sharing you talent with us.
Thank you so much for your wonderful comment. I'm so glad you think so.❤️🥰
Perfect representation of an old brass bed. I appreciate the relaxed pace in which you explain the process. Very inspiring to an amateur like myself. ❤ 🎉
Thank you so much, I appreciate your support and so glad to hear you enjoyed it.❤️🥰
I think it looks in keeping for the era. We used to mix and match bed frames with any mattress we could get our hands on. If it was slightly wider than the frame, we would pull the bed out from the wall a little to hide that fact, though not enough to roll off and get stuck at odd hours of the night. Don't ask me how I know. This miniature reminds me very much of the bed I had as a child, which had a label on the side with ONO printed on it. Same colour mattress, which John Lewis still sells to this day as its "vintage bedding set". I had candy floss striped flannelette sheets and pillow case and beautiful checkered blanket black, chocolate, orange and yellow. The good old days. Much happiness. I shall look in on the rest of the build.
Thank you so much for sharing. Love that! It's great to hear all the stories everyone shares.❤️🥰
@@tardismole we had a pull out bed from the wall and samesheets ectederdondowns and big coats to stay warm lol
@@lizvan-loon697 We ccould have been in the same household. :D
Love the bed and bedding, yes, no fitted sheets before about 1970s
Thank you so much. Yes, now I know and will probably just cut it down some when I display it. But it technically is just a flat sheet🤣😂❤️❤️
Love love love that mattress!! What a great idea to use a stripped shirt and the placket for the sides! ❤ Love how you added the stains too!
Thank you so much. I'm so glad you enjoyed it. 🥰❤️
Absolutely fantastic!!!! I've gotten so many tips from you!!! Thanks from 🏴 England.🌸
Oh that's so lovely to hear, it's my pleasure and so happy to help. Thank you so much for your support🥰❤️
Miss Margot’s son’s bed turned out fantastic. You did an excellent job on it. I actually have some ticking fabric for making beds myself. I’m going to have to try to make one myself now. My husband is making me a 1:24 scale doll house and it’s going to need a bed, albeit a smaller one than yours. I will make sure to make it a bit smaller because it grows, lol. Thanks for the tips.🤗
Thank you so much...Oh it will be such a cute tiny bed for sure. I will definitely make more I'm the future.❤️🥰
This is brilliant Jolene! It's so lovely and really authentic looking. Even the stains on the mattress lol...who hasn't seen an old bed that has a "map of Australia" stained on it somewhere? Its a sign of long wear and use over decades.
I have a wrought iron bed on my own To Do list for Mama and Papa in the gnome home but I was thinking of using your wrought iron gate tutorial to figure out how to make it, now I can just pull on more of your creative genius! Even as I was watching you, I had ideas like oh I wonder how it would work if I did that bit this way, or tried doing it another way...You are just so talented and I am grateful that you share it with us all.
Thank you so much for your kind comment, my friend. I'm so glad it can help you. I plan on making a fancy one. ❤️🥰
The bed looks great, I love how you have left the linen out instead of making the bed up. I always admire anyone who uses glue on fabric, I’ve tried and just end up disappointed and with a mess so sew instead. 😊
Thank you so much, I think it just takes practice because I didn't have the best of luck at first. 🥰❤️
So enjoyable as always. Love the bed frame and decision to leave the bed unmade. Not sure I’d want to sleep on that mattress though with those suspicious stains 😂😂😂. Thank you for sharing your creative ideas ❤❤ x
😂🤣hilarious....the suspicious stains..🫣😆Thank you so much. 🥰❤️
Great mattress! Hard to believe it's your first! I really think the head and footboards are terrific, and yes, charming!
Thank you so much. Most of my miniature projects are rell6 the first time I have every made them🥰❤️
I love this. The material your using is perfect, cause it looks so vintage. ❤ love the little clover iron. I need one 😂❤❤❤
Thank you so much. The. Lover iron is very handy..Amazon!!❤️🥰
That mattress is a work of art! 💕Beautiful work. Thank you for sharing😊💕
Thank you so much. I appreciate your comment, so glad you love it.❤️🥰
Seeing the thumbnail I thought that waaaay too difficult for me to diy but your video is so good and clear on how to tackle this, I might even try to make a bed myself 😊
Thank you so much. I'm so glad to hear it will help you. You can do it!!!💪🏼🥰❤️
This was Great Jolene! I had been wanting to try that "faux welding" technique with glue and wire! The Bed and Everything Turned out really NICE!! I LOVE the LINEN!!!
Thank you so much. I really want to create a more fancier one. It wasn't hard and very fun😍
You def got this, my friend.❤️🥰
The bed is charming and looks authentic.❤❤❤
Thank you so much, my friend!🥰❤️
I’m new here and so so happy I found you! I am a novice, having done about 5 kits. I now have FIVE dollhouses. I am keeping 3 and selling the 2 Marx ones as I don’t love that style. I have purchased a massive collection of furniture & accessories. I want to settle down with spending and start making my own. Videos like yours are exactly what I need! Which mat do you have for your workspace? I like how large it is. Thanks for being here!
Thank you so much . IM so happy you found me tooo🤗Welcome to TinyKeyHoleMinis. I use a few different mats, the lil pink, I purchased from a local pop shelf. The big green one I found at a yard sale, and the grey one I purchased from a local Micheal's it came with some tools as a set. Hope this helps. Ask anything you need to know. I'm still considering myself new as far as my channel, so still trying to work on better videos. I keep trying different things. I'm also on Instagram if you want to ever dm me. Email is always in the description box. 🥰❤️
Wow! This was some great work and dedication! Very realistic and impressive as well!
Thank you! ❤Kathleen
Thank you so much, Kathleen. I'm never gonna forget how I thought you kept calling me Kathleen 😂🤣🫣❤️❤️
Wonderful bed! Nice work. I've learned a lot from your bed building project. I appreciate it, thank you. 💖✝
Thank you so much, I'm so glad to hear that I can help. It is always fun to read the comment section🥰❤️
I always do things like this on graph paper... beautiful bed❤..tip for fabri tac when it gets thick is add a small drop or 2 of acetone( nail varnish remover)
Thanks so much for sharing. I also use graph paper sometimes as well. I just learned about that tip and recently added acetone to my fabric tac. I'm sure It was more than just a drop or two. I shook it really well, tho. 😂🫣❤️🥰
I made similar with straws. I loved it but it collapses inward and isn’t strong enough to support mattress. It’s cute though. I love yours
Thank you so much. Oh, I bet it is very cute 😍 ❤️
Awesome, the whole thing turned out beautifully! I love the nice in depth videos❤❤❤
Thank you so much for your comment, that's great to hear.🥰❤️
I'm just getting to this stage with a bed of mine and I'm no sewer so didn't think of glue thank you for this I feel less it's less scary. You are clever.
Thank you so much, I'm so happy to help. We are all just learning from the best of the best..lol ❤️🥰
I love the oversized mattress! The bed and linens remind me of my Mamaw's bed. I'm not sure I would have added the stains, though
Thank you so much.🥰❤️ I had to add the stains for the esthetics of the house. But, I'm sure to make another without. 😆
I love it! Especially the unmade bed ! Awesome job ❤️
Thank you so much. I'm so glad you enjoyed it.🥰❤️
A little trick I like to use with thin wire is to unspool a little more than I need, then before i cut it use a small pair of pliers to help me stretch the wire out. It not only straightens the wire, but it adds strength to it, too. Cut to your length, and off ya go!😉
Thank you so much for sharing. I appreciate all these great tips. ❤️🥰
I'm new to your page. I really enjoyed watching you make the bed and linens.
Thank you so much. Welcome to TinyKeyHoleMinis ❤️🥰
Love this bed, really love the mattress, so enjoy watching them all come together.
Thank you so much. I'm so glad you enjoyed it.❤️🥰
I just subscribed and your videos are looking amazing, I'm trying to make some diorama and you will surely help me a lot !
Welcome to TinyKeyHoleMinis 🤗 Thank you so much for your support. I'm so happy to hear that my projects will be helpful. Love that!🥰❤️
You did a amazing job it looks fantastic 😊 I'd sleep in it lol
Thank you so much. It does look comfy😆🥰❤️
I personally love it! I can imagine that mattresses in the past maybe didn’t always fit the bed perfectly but they used what they had. The mattress looks very realistic. Same with the bedding and linens. I am also super fond of leaving those sweet little linens folded on the bed. I can imagine the wire bed is not the easiest thing to make but it just fits the house perfectly. I’m a bit under the weather so I’ve been watching the whole playlist on making Miss Margo and it’s still exciting to watch her come into being! You have so much talent and a wonderful personality, your channel is always an amazing place to visit and revisit ❤ xx
Thank you so much for such a kind comment and all your support. I'm sorry you are feeling under the weather and I hope you feel better soon. It's lovely to hear you enjoy my channel..bunches of hugs to you, my friend 🫂🥰❤️
Well done matress size looks fine vreat idea abt the bed❤😊
Thank you so much. I do love it..8t grew on me lol❤️🥰
You did a great job, Jolene! Love this soooo much!
Thank you so much, I'm so glad to hear that you do.❤️🥰
I think they will be very happy to sleep in that old, but beautiful bed
Thank you so much, I think so too🤭❤️
Your bed looks great! Mattresses and bedsteads don't have to "match". (when I was young) mattresses weren't always store-bought. and weren't today's standard sizes. Maybe your mattress is a hand-me-down from someone with a bigger bed?
Lol, Love that suggestion. 🥰❤️ thank you so much for sharing, do you think they actually had bigger beds than this back then?!?😂🤣
@@tinykeyholeminis My mum and all her sisters (five) slept in one bed until they left home. It was a home-made bedstead and mattress and was probably about "queen" sized. Unthinkable today, when each kid needs their own room!
This was an awesome tutorial Jolene!🙌🏾
Thank you so much.Im happy to hear that you thought so.❤️🥰
So sweet. I love the wonky imperfections.
Thank you so much🥰❤️
I think it's perfect. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🌺
Thank you so much🥰❤️
🎉drawn back looks best 👌 🎉
Thanks so much, Dorothy. 😆 nothing chic, just shabby.❤️🥰
Beautiful work on the bed and bedding. I always enjoy watching your creative process. Thank you for the tip on the wire and file sticks! I will definitely be needing these for some projects.
Thank you so much. I'm so glad to help. 🥰❤️
@@tinykeyholeminis, You're welcome!
An easy way to straighten wire before you start- cut the length you need- lay on your work surface then put your ruler flat on top of the wire and roll back and forth- it’s amazing how well it works!
Just don't use you favorite ruler. One of my Dollar Tree rulers is missing a couple inches of markings because of this.
Thanks so much for sharing that tip. I'll try and remember this. 🥰❤️
Another awesome piece.
Thank you so much. So glad you think you so.🥰❤️

Everything turned out really well! I especially love the bed. And what a cute idea to leave it unmade with the linens ready to go
Thanks so much! 😊 I'm happy to hear you loved it🥰❤️
I love the oversized mattress! It reminds me of my Mamaw's bed. I'm not sure I would have added the stains though.
Oh no. Talking. Bummerz. 😢 Well have a great day. 👍🇨🇦🌼💐 I do not view talking videos due to Misophonia. Sorry.😔 Pretty, very very pretty. Bye. 🐑🤍
