In this tutorial we hear the immortal words of Little Gretchen: "No real Legos were hurt during this video." Thank you for this video! The trunks look truly beautiful!🥰
Thank you Tiny Nina76 ! Glad you enjoyed it! Yes I had to put out a disclaimer quick! NO Lego abuse here! People are serious about Lego I didn't want any body mad at me! LOLLOLOL!
@@littlegretchensworkshop7665 😄 LOL!!
I just love watching your videos. Not just for the miniatures, but also for your wonderful attitude. You are so encouraging and positive. The tube needs more people like you. ❤
AWWW Thank you! This is Such A KIND and Generous compliment!!! I appreciate you saying so! This is Truly encouraging and means more than you know!!!!
Lol... No Lego's hurt!😂 Love the lock! Amazing! Great trunks!
Lololol! Yes Theresa! Gotta throw out those disclaimers! I don't want the "LEGO Channels" coming after me for Lego abuse! LOLOLOLOLOL!!! Thank you for being here and allowing me to share!!!
Love these trunks, especially the one with the rosebud paper! One or more of these will definitely be showing up in my bungalow and cottage, oh yeah, in my cabin too🤗
Have fun! These are useful in so many scenes, that's what I had to put them in this series!
This just keeps getting better and better. So satisfying.
LOLLOLOL! Thank you KERRY!!!
These are just stunning and so authentic in every way. The details just bring them to life! Always appreciate your detailed follow-able instructions! I can’t wait to get my first one underway! Thank you, as always, Kathleen
Thanks so much 😊I was very pleased with them too. I have so many wonderful ideas for them! I am Glad to hear you are going to make some! ENJOY!!!
I'm glad you used your gloves! I'm such a mother hen! 🤣 Without doing any research whatsoever, using wallpaper to line a trunk feels historically accurate. People have always used what they had on hand, and people have always liked to make things pretty. 🙂 I've *finally* started work on my dolls' kitchen, but I definitely want to make one (or more!) of these trunks once the kitchen is up and running. The dolls are getting impatient about the kitchen, so I better finish that before I get sidetracked again. 😄
LOLOLOLOL! I'm Trying to be a GOOD MAMMA DOLL! I don't want to be a Bad example to my Precious DOLLLS! LOLOLOL! I appreciate you for reminding me! I have 2 FULL boxes of gloves right ther so I have no excuse! Yes the floral trunk I want to use as Trunk for Marguerite. She only had 2 bags with her. She needed a trunk, now I need to make more things to fill it!! Thank you for being here!
Your Lego idea is brilliant!
Thanks Teresa! My grandsons left a few pieces laying around after a visit!, and I was cleaning up realized they wouldn't miss them! They came in really handy! LOLOLOLOL!!
Oh my Gretchen these are so fabulous! Thank you so much for your detailed instructions. It's definitely your voice I hear telling me to be patient with myself when I'm getting frustrated. Watching this is giving me some ideas for a vintage toy box for my nursery. ❤😊
YES YES YES!!!! These are perfect as toy boxes! I'm so glad to hear that my instructions are clear. Definitely , be patient with yourself. I have made item over and over to get it to this version. I yourself the grace to GROW! So glad you liked this, i can't wait for you to see the Finale video! Thank you for watching!
You are absolutely amazing. Your work is inspiring and I enjoy watching your tutorials along with your wonderful stories. They take me back. I'm working on a fairy/gnome house and only using "found" and hand made by me items. Thanks again for such a wonderful and fun channel.
Hi Nina! Thank you so much! I am truly humbled by such a kind compliment! I'm so glad you find value and enjoyment on my channel 😊! I am so happy to have you here! Welcome to Little Gretchen's Workshop ❤️❤️❤️
I love how you keep scraps of wallpaper. So do I. Lining the trunks and luggage with paper looks so good and it's probably easier than fabric.
Thanks Queen! Yes it is much easier than fabric plus not fraying😂 Always trying to justify why I keeps all these scraps!🤣
@@littlegretchensworkshop7665 Same here! I save almost everything.
I am new to miniature creating. Your videos are perfect for learning to make my own hardware to finish the ideas that come to me for my own needs from your projects. You are a true teacher of your craft. I have become one of your fans.
I am so Glad to know my videos are helping you! I try to make videos simple so that even a beginner miniaturist can follow. I'm so grateful you shared that you see me as a teacher. I am just trying to share what Daddy gave me!
Hello, I've been eagerly waiting for this part of the series, I love old trunks, thank you for the tutorial, I shall definitely be making some for my dolls house, I'm already looking forward to the next part, this series of tutorials is wonderful, you make everything easy to understand.
Best wishes from Yorkshire, England, 🇬🇧
Thanks Diane! I always appreciate seeing your comments! I'm so glad my teaching style works for you. I'm really happy to hear you will be making some of these trunks, they are so useful for so many scenes! Have fun!
Thank you for sharing your creations, your voice is so soothing and your ideas and creativity seem endless, I have recently discovered your channel and have not gotten much done since, totally engrossed 😅❤ again thank you so much, have wonderful day
Thank You TAWNIE! I appreciate your kind compliment! I enjoy sharing what I have had bottled up for over 45 years🤭😅☺️! I'm so glad you are Here! Welcome to Little Gretchen's Workshop ❤️ ENJOY!!!
These have so much character I just love them. You put so much hard work into your videos and it really shows. Breaking it into simple steps, trouble shooting….you’ve cracked the code on a lot of things I would’ve just bought in the past but yours come out sooo much better because they’re personal. They tell a story ❤
Thank you So much! That has always been my reason for learning to make many of my own miniature. Alot of the mass produced pieces i've seen over the years are very basic, no character .Or if the pieces were really LOVELY they costed alot more than I could spend in those days. So I was determined to learn how to make my own or up-cycle inexpensive pieces. I'm so Glad you like them!
Wonderful Beautiful Artwork 😍 Thank you ❣️
Thank you so much!!😀l Truly appreciate your feedback!☺️💖💖💖💖💖
WOW Gretchen they are Absolutely gorgeous. Very clear instructions. Thank you for sharing your talent with us. So until next time God Bless you and have a Blessed evening and stay safe my dear and Special Friend.
Thank you so Much JOAN! I'm glad you said my instructions are clear. I am just sharing what Daddy gave me. I receive that Blessing!
Beautiful Sis! I Love It! Proud of You! Blessings to You🙏🏽❤️
Thank you so much 🤗
Those are so great! 😍 I love the locks and the imperfections...what gives them character and age!!! I caant wait to make one..I love that you have one with the tray, bc that's authentic. I planned on doing one with a tray as well and making it true to the real narrow shape. Love it!👏👏🥰💖🫶💯
Thanks so much! 😊LOL! I made a tray for the rose papered one...but it's in the finale video!'m having So much FUN! Thank you for watching!
“ no Legos were harmed in the filming of this video! And pause😂😂😂
Lololol! YES BECKY!!! I had to put out that disclaimer.....I Don't want the Lego Police 🚓 coming for Me!🤭😆😂😂!!! Thank You for watching ❤️
Really so well done I love the lock ❤
THANK YOU!!! THAT WAS TRULY A FUN PROJECT ACTUALLY PLAN TO DO ANOTHER ONE SOON!!! MORE DOLLS ARE COMING TO THE ROOMING HOUSE 🤭💖💖💖
Thanks for this! I was recently gifted a little wooden box d like to transform into a trunk! Perfect timing.
That is Great to hear Dawn! Glad I could help!
Those are amazing, so authentic. Take care and thank you for sharing 👍🙏❤️
Thanks Chris 😊!
This was exactly what I needed! Thank you. I have difficulty with multi-step tasks, so your instructions make it much easier to understand for me. I wish I could show you my chateau project! LOL (still a bit pre-K but you'd get the idea LOL)
This might be a silly question but what does pre-K mean ?, I'm British by the way 🙂
@@diane64yorks pre-K means the messy art created by a small child. As an adult, we get to the pretty stage faster than a small child, but we all get past the messy stage of a project eventually.
@@diane64yorksit stands for “pre-kindergarten.”
No worries Diane! No question is ever silly, Pre- K just means it looks like a project one of the children made, specially a child prior to Kindergarten! LOLLOLOL! Too much glue, messy paint job etc. It seems like most miniatures go through that stage before they look like something you will Treasure! Thank you for watching and asking your question.
So true Rachael! I used to get nervous when things looked bad until i realized that was just a part of the process.....
It came out absolutely adorable. I love it. Thank you for sharing 😊😊😊
Thank you! Cheers! I appreciate your feedback!!!!
Okay, I found it!!!
YAY!!!
Very clear instructions. Thank you 💜💜💜
Thank you Sara, I'm so Glad it was helpful!
The best thing about making them yourself is that they look authentic. If you machine cut everything, I think they’d lose the ‘realness’ and the whole look of it. In real life, nothing is perfect 👍🏻👍🏻
I agree BEV! When things look too Perfect they look artificial. I am amused when things turn out nice even after my lack of measuring and my uneven cuts!LOLOLOL!!!!
@@littlegretchensworkshop7665 your work always looks good! ❤️❤️
I love these steamer trunks especially the one with the rose print paper inside, I wonder could you make one of those with the drawers on one side and a hanging rail on the other?, I can’t remember what they’re called, love watching your step by step videos, very clear instructions in them, tfs x Julie 🇬🇧
Thank you Julie!!! What a wonderful suggestion! I will put that on my list! Thank you for letting me know that my instructions are clear! i appreciate you feedback!
How lovely to have found your channel. (Ara Bentley recommendation! Yay Ara.) How come TH-cam doesn't suggest related content like this when it comes to miniaturists. One can only look at so many dollhouse tours! You have obviously been around a while, given all the videos you've done. "Best practice?" I'm gonna say you are a healthcare worker in your real life. Nurse, maybe. Anyway, I am so looking forward to perusing your video library.
Hello Mary Kay! Welcome to Little Gretchen's Workshop! I was truly HUMBLED when I realized ARA BENTLEY had recommended My channel! She's an AMAZING Artist! I Appreciate you for watching! ENJOY 😀
@@littlegretchensworkshop7665 I think I did see something of yours a long time ago because I got the "lego" idea from you and really ran with it. Now I make rather complicated jigs to hold things in odd shapes while I am gluing them. Thanks for the inspiration.
I absolutely 💛 Gorilla Wood Glue. It's even great for paper.
It is the Absolute BEST!
Your videos are always so helpful and well done. Thank you. I’m excited to try making my own trunk. ❤
I'm So glad to hear that Melissa!!! I truly appreciate the feedback! You are So welcome! I am so GLAD you are going to make one! Thank you for watching!
Your wonderful giggle is infectious! This is a great project, I love trunks. Do you have a captain's trunk I have missed? Or might you do one? I would love to try one but a head start would be great!
Hey KIM! You mean the ROUNDED top kind right? i did that in the Bags Boxes and trunks playlist. It's a smaller size I do plan to do a larger one, with so new Dolls soon. Thank you for asking!!
That wasn't what I was expecting, but now I can't remember what I expected. While watching this video, I got an image in my mind of a trunk in my parents basement. I remember looking in it, and there might have been a scrapbook with black paper in it and photographs and news clipping. I seem to remember my dad saying it was his grandfather's . I'm not sure on which side of the family. He was closer to his mother. But didn't really live with her. He was shuffled around to different relatives till he'd lived in 19 places by the time he was 17. This is scaring me. I remember my own grandparents but not all 4. One grandmother had died so I never met her. And the grandmother I did know was on her 3rd husband. So I can't remember any great grandfathers. Is kind of scary that no one will remember me in a few short generations. My dad said his mother's parents didn't approve of her husband, my grandfather I never met. So they drove the couple apart.
Anyway...the cover of the trunk I remember seeing was kind of strange. Sort of shiny, a sort of drab grey/green solid color. I don't think it was leather. There were straps and buckles, and a tray inside. I wonder if it was paper, or canvas, or oilcloth... Maybe it was a military issued Footlocker. Hmmmm....
Sorry if that doesn't make sense. I was writing while trying to remember, and more info came to me as I wrote
I totally get it! Many of the things I make or re-create are from fragments from my childhood memories. My dad had a military footlocker as well the green color. It had a Tray on the inside as well. I wanted it to look like something you would find in an attic or basement or even use for blankets or keepsake storage. These kind of project do bring up alot of memories.
@@littlegretchensworkshop7665 I really wonder where some pieces of furniture ended up. I would really like to have kept some of those, it gave a sense of heritage and continuity to life
Great tutorial! Thank you ❤
Thank YOU So much, I'm having So much Fun and You are so welcome!
So cool 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you!
so amazing love your channel ❤
Thank you so much!!
Hey Gretchen beautiful trunks really love them. I'm not sure if maybe my question was answered in one of your other luggage videos but I am struggling to learn how to do the hinges ....do you just put the lid onto the body and then measure where the hinge would go or does there have to be a little bit of space between the lid and the body of the trunk? Thk u girl 💕
Hi ! Yes I showed how to put the hinges on with glue in this Steamer trunk video. I tape the top and bottom together. Mark where you want the hinges and glue it down. The video makes it easier to understand more than this explanation. Go to 5:15 in time on the video to see it. Let me know if you have further questions. Thank you for watching
Thank you girlie I will check it out 😃💕
I keep forgetting to ask where you get the mini hinges at please?
No worries, I got them from amazon. There is a link in the description below the video.
There once was a time when you didn't have to think of apologizing too Lego geeks..while using an of brand "lego" ...people just showed their skills and it was done. The fact that Legos people had to say something about it is rediculous....use what you want too or need too....take no prisoners.
Lolol No no, The company didn't say anything to me, l just know so serious some Lego collectors are. It would be terrible to see the treasured little pieces all "glued" up! Especially as much as they cost these days😆. No worries ☺️
