I love the little deadpan commentary nuggets like, “I’ll be using beads and whatever other junk I have” (paraphrasing) and the one about the glue @6:50 and @8:04😂
The foil under the bedspread is so smart! I've made a 1:144 scale dollhouse too and it's funny how many things we did similarly and differently. For the headboard and footboard, I used a soda tab. Cut off the bottom part of the tab that connects to the can and it's a pretty close approximation of an old style metal bed. I used a dryer sheet to make gossamer curtains around the bed posts. For the light fixtures (that's the only thing I think your house needs left) I cut out the dimples from a McDonald's drink lid. You know how it can be used to mark if the drink is diet, coke, or whatever. The shapes are so pretty, I just painted them silver.
@@be_heard247 I also used it to make a ghost for the attic! I glued a little square over a Styrofoam ball from a beanbag or something and drew a teensy face with a marker. I short length of fine wire stuck into the bottom made it look like it was flying!
You've saved me so much time and insanity by showing how tiny scale prints and writing do not have to be anything but impressions. Perfume bottles in particular vex me, but it makes sense to just suggest the words rather than try to write stuff.
Absolutely! If you give the impression of something, the human brain fills in the details. We don't need to drive ourselves crazy trying to replicate every little thing.
Thank you! I think the hardest part is finding all the tiny things you inevitably drop 😆 I'm too paranoid to vacuum my craft room. Who knows what I may have lost? I crawl around on the floor before vacuuming.
Thank you :) I love making miniatures. Doing the voiceover is my least favorite part bc it takes a while. I also have to re-record the same line multiple times bc a car will drive past or my cats will meow lol
Thank you! This is definitely a tricky scale to work in. th-cam.com/video/J_XXnnTshcg/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Pg5smiQhbFAh2V43 Make a mini paper mug! These require minimal supplies and they're so much fun. I gave a lot of ideas for how to decorate & finish them.
I have never worked at this scale and am super impressed by what you were able to achieve. I have to admit I forget how tiny everything is until suddenly a giant qtip appears or you use staples as legs or something. so wild! Dirt Bag Brown... 🤔I think I dated him in college.
Thank you! I'm working on a different 1:144 scale project. This time I'm focusing on the exterior of a house and garden. Wait til you see the tiniest mailbox ever 📬
I really wonder how you do little things like that. I can't do it myself, I don't have such handy hands. And I have no imagination either, that's why I admire you. You are a talent. Thanks for sharing your art!
Thank you! I don't often have any idea what to do until I start trying to make something and look around at what I have. I also Google a lot of reference images to get ideas.
@@queencityminis im totally keeping my eyes peeled for something like the brass thing. My minds already going ‘im sure there something like it in my stashes of random things’ 😂
Thank you :) Editing makes it look like it's a lot more linear process but I do my fair share of sitting around trying things that don't work 😆 Trial & error
Your funny but cute lol all the little comments you make. lol You do great work and I enjoy watching you comments and all. Where is the little curtain? You can also use that gold star to the middle of the ceiling and then hang a light from it too. That will match the decor that you have going on. Have a great day
Thank you :) I didn't realize how much time I'd invest when I bought this little dollhouse kit and modified it to look like a modern farmhouse. Almost done! It has been really fun.
Absolutely fantastic. You so inspire me to want to make things in smaller scales. I do have a kit for a 1:144 dollhouse to go inside one of my 1:12 dollhouses, and I have a couch, chair and table already, but I love the use of the beads and flocking for the plants. I also love that you found that piece of metal and used it as the headboard! That wardrobe is amazing - and I love the "finial" details. My brain is whirling now....
Awesome! This scale is hard to work in, in a way, but it's also easier. The items need such little detail because they're so tiny. I didn't intend for this project to turn into what it did but it was so much fun. I wouldn't even be able to pick a favorite piece of furniture or decor.
So sweet! Perfect amount of detail! If you weren't adding a bathroom to the top floor, I would think a rug is in order, but since you're not done yet, I think it is great as is!
Thank you! I think it could use something between the vanity and the wardrobe on the wall. Maybe a hanging robe or scarves or something. It depends what I can pull off in such a tiny scale!
@queencityminis Hi, I was looking at French or punch needle embroidery and started thinking about using it to make rugs, carpet, etc. Have you ever heard of using it for miniatures?
I know! The marker is made by an Italian company named Foohy so I suppose the name isn't very shocking 😆 I would like to add a rug but I didn't want to jump the gun before adding the bathroom. I've secretly already created the bathroom but I didn't want the video to be too long so I'll complete the front of the dollhouse and the bathroom in the next video. I like the idea of a full length mirror. Maybe I could hang something on the wall like a teeny robe or something. I know I need to fill some space between the vanity and wardrobe.
Thank you! I got it from my favorite dollhouse store. The prices are the best. earthntree.com/miniatures/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=246_247&products_id=20070
This is so precious! Great work, I always wanted a dollhouse for my dollhouse when I was younger. Just one tip, it might be good to get a pop filter for your mic so that the voiceover is a little cleaner.
I don't even have a dollhouse but maybe I'll decorate one just so I can display this little house 😆 Thank you for the feedback. I edit out breathing sounds and dead air at the beginning and end of audio clips but I should use my pop filter. I do own own but it's a nuisance. I'll get used to using it.
I like looking at all dollhouse scale miniatures, but making items for 1:48 scale is probably the easiest to me. This dollhouse for a dollhouse is 1:144.
Bravo 👏.. but even if you are successful in finally teaching me how to make miniatures.. this scale😮 is definitely never going to be in my ...Can Do 😂.
My brain hurts at how tiny it is. My eyes would hurt in real life. Why is it that at this scale the ceilings look higher, and the rooms seem to hold so much more furniture? King size bed would take up most of a 1:12 scale room. Are these rooms just larger?
Yes, the rooms are larger. The back wall is the equivalent of 18' wide in full size. I modified the original dollhouse kit which had 2 floors and an attic. I eliminated a floor and opted for vaulted ceilings instead. Good thing too because it's hard enough to film inside the house! I'm having a lot of fun with this little house. I'll decorate the front of the house and add the bathroom in the next video.
@@queencityminis oh ok, that makes sense then. There's a channel i watch at times he's making tiny houses on trailers for people. The smallest is 8 x 16 feet, has a bathroom with shower, small kitchen counter, and space for a bed or a couch . I don't think that would be good for much more than a BnB rental. The kitchen had a sink, but no stove or oven, I asked how do people cook. I think they use like an instapot or slow cooker or something. But I like to actually cook, and bake. I think a mini fridge could fit.
I couldn't live in a tiny home either. For one, I have an entire room for miniatures alone (storing, making and filming) with a bunch of crafting supplies too.

I didn't know it was possible to make tinier miniatures without 3d printing. looks great.
It's possible, with patience ;) I am a disorganized maker so I spent some time looking for tiny items I dropped.
Small cat would look cute sleeping on the bed or walking about
That would be absolutely adorable!

This is amazing, I cant even see in 1.144 scale so its like magic!
Thank you 😊
Absolutely mesmerising!!! Xxx
