Using an OLD MAGAZINE to create MINIATURES - Part 1
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 24 มิ.ย. 2024
- Hi,
in this video I use images and patterns cut out from an old decoration magazine to make miniatures.
My next video will also be on this theme because I couldn't put all the miniatures made with my magazine in this video.
As the video is quite long, use the time markers below to jump straight to the parts that interest you.
Thanks for watching this video, I hope you enjoyed it.
Happy crafting!

I don't need another hobby, I don't need another hobby, 😂
Oh yes! I know what you mean!! Too late for me!😅😂
EXACTLY...
😅
😅
Haha, I said the same thing watching this video…
I love the notebook to store images.
Thanks a lot!
💞💞
What a fantastic idea in the beginning how to save patterns for later, I have not seen that before! Thank you for showing the problems you encountered with the paint and the mod podge on the chinese pots, it was very helpful to know. Everything turned out so nice and pretty with the patterns.
Thanks for being there! I always appreciate your comments which help me to make better videos.💕
RIGHT? Genius, game-changing idea. Totally going to copy it.
@@aroha9090 I'm glad it was useful.💕
Love your ideas...
@@judyjohnson734 Thank you! I'm glad you like the video!
Your notebook at the beginning is a genius idea!
Thank you so much!
💞💕
I love your creations! Your tissue paper folder was really inspiring, a place to keep all those tiny little bits, I can't wait to look through my magazines again! I'm so inspired! Thank you for sharing
I'm glad it was helpful! I'm sure you'll find lots of great patterns in your magazines! Thanks for watching the video!💕
Great ideas. You could save a step when making the plant pots by using colored backing paper, so then you don't have to paint the insides.
Your idea is so obvious! Why did I never think of that! 😅
Thank you so much!
💕💕
@@mfamilysminis You're welcome - glad I could help. I try to avoid painting whenever possible because it's so messy and time consuming. The same with glue. For paper projects, I use permanent double-sided tape instead of glue, and it's really easy to pinch off tiny little pieces for miniatures.
@@1111amyg I have to admit that unlike you, I really like painting... but your idea saves so much time!
💕💕
Fantastic idea! It's after 11pm and I'm walking down to the basement to look for old magazines. This is going to occupy quite a bit of brain space over the next weeks to months😂
I'm so happy you found this video inspiring! When you start creating miniatures from old magazines, you can't stop!😅 it's so easy and fun and you can be very creative! I hope you enjoy this technique!
Happy crafting!
💞💞💞
I’m so impressed by the clever and thrifty way you use magazines. I like to take the stamp-sized stickers that come with self-stick return address labels (from donating to DAV) and put them on magnets that come in the mail, (they are flexible and can be cut with a scissors.)
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed the video! The way you use these stickers sounds interesting! Wish we had some here too!💕💕
I do that also! Thanks for sharing that! 👍👋🥰
Great ideas and inspirations! Thanks much, Kathleen 😊
Thank you very much, I'm glad you like the videos!💕
I love these ideas. I've seen people use very tiny pieces of wood to wrap around to make boxes. Might make all that angle bending easier. I really want to try out the chinese porcelain soon.
THANKS! happy that you like it.
I hope you will have a lot of fun making chinese porcelain with this technique!
💞💞
Those snips are divine!
Thank you! I'm glad you like them!💕
Amazing!
Thank you for your kind comment! I appreciate!
💞💞💞💞
Marvelous ideas! Especially love the super sweet plant pots! 💖
Thank you so much. Have a wonderful New Year’s Eve.
💕💕
I'm enjoying your minis. A single cut to the center of the paper (as if you were making the first cut when slicing a pie) will eliminate the crinkle when covering the concave plastic pieces you made into plates. I'm referring to the candle images you used as the design.
Thank you for this advice. This should actually work with simple designs! I will definitely try!
💞💞
Wow!!!!!! Teeny tiny tornado 🌪 love it
Thank you!💕
Amazing idea! Simple but effective. Thank you for sharing!😊
💕
Thank you so much! I'm glad you like my idea! I have a lot of fun making minis with magazines!
Love them all!
Thank you!
💕
Absolutely fascinating😊
Thank you!
Thanks for sharing!
You're welcome! Thanks for watching the video!💕
Ok..... that's another item for my "now, why didn't I think of that" list. Amazing ❤
😅Thank you for watching the video!💕
You have such beautiful ideas, I am sure I will get lots of inspiration from you so I am subscribing (I might actually already be subscribed but I will if I haven't). Beautiful plant pots❤
Thank you so much! It's very important for me to share my work and inspire people to create miniatures of their own and have fun! 🥰🥰
💞💞💕💕
How lovely!
Thank you!
💕
So clever! I love these ideas.
Diamond Glaze is something I started using recently and I love it.
OMG!! a comment from Queen City Minis! 🤯 I'm so proud!!! I've been following all of your videos for so long! You are such an artist and a great miniaturist! Thank you so much for watching the video and for your comment!💕💕
I discovered Diamond Glaze on jewelry making youtube channels while looking for a less toxic alternative to UV resin and I must admit that I am having a lot of fun with it! 😁
@@mfamilysminis Wow, thank you so much! I just discovered your channel today and subscribed. I really like your style.
That's how I use Diamond Glaze, too. Dimensional Magic from Mod Podge is very similar, but Diamond Glaze is available in a variety of sizes and is cheaper, especially in bigger quantities.
Wonderful ideas!
Thank you!
ADORABLE!!
Thank you!😊😊
💞💞
Those mini pots are really pretty. This is a fascinating video.
THANKS! I'm glad you like it!
💕
Patience overload 😯
I love those boxes, you could build a miniature shop 😍
Thank you! 🥰
I have plans for this boxes...maybe I'll show that in a video one day!
💕
Thank yo so much. These are lovely!
You're welcome! I'm glad you like the miniatures!💕
So glad to have found your channel! Really enjoyed the miniatures you made!
Thank you so much! I'm glad you like it! and thank you for subscribing!💕
Incredible! 😍 Though I can see myself never throwing out anything again 😳🤭
😅Yes, I understand that! This is my case: I have a lot of trouble deciding to throw away all the paper that arrives in my house (gift and wrapping paper, magazines, etc.).I have to force myself not to be invaded! 😂💕💕
@@mfamilysminis 😆
Brilliant 🤩
THANKS! It's great to know you like the video!
Happy crafting!
💞💞
These are fabulous ,and recycling is the best.Thanks for sharingI have an idea that I use in crafting.For the juice covers. Trace around it on plastic packaging ,cut out, then you can center perfectly with a clear template.
Thank you for this interesting idea, I'm going to do it because it's true that I have trouble centering my pattern!
💕💕
Wow! What a cool idea! For the plates you might try putting the circle of paper in the palm of your hand and using a ball stylus etc to press in a circular way to give a slight bowl shape. Gently of course. I’ve done that to make flower petals. (Hope it works)
THANKS! it's an idea to try!💕
I just found your channel. This is a great idea, they look adorable.
Thank you! I'm glad you like the minis!💕💕
Very cute and like you idea on how you save your patterns designs
THANKS! My "pattern notebook" helps me a lot to find inspiration!
💕💕
I love that book you've made with tissue paper for gluing your favourite images into. When you cut them out, do you take them off the tissue paper or leave it on? Those Chinese style ceramic pots you made are gorgeous. I use Judikins Diamond Glaze too and it really is good stuff, especially with its 3D effect. 😢
Thank you for your comment.😊
As the glue is of cheap quality, when I want to remove the images, I just have to gently pull on them and they come off with sometimes a little tissue paper remaining stuck in places but that doesn't matter . I suppose you could also leave the tissue paper and cut around the image. The tissue paper is so thin that it will not interfere with making the miniature.
I love diamond glaze too, it’s so useful!
💞💞
Brilliant! I'm so glad I found you. I'm going to share your videos with my mom as well cause she also loves making minis.
Thank you so much and thank you for sharing the video! I hope your mom will enjoy it! 💕
Try cutting just once, like for your pots the overlap for plates will be less. Awesome idea!
THANKS! I should try!

I just made my very own "pattern notebook", i love it. Thanks very much, it's the greatest idea ever :) Love from Burgundy, France :)
OMG! I'm so proud! 😊
I hope you have a lot of fun with your pattern notebook! My latest video gives new ideas for using all the pretty patterns you collect!
I am very happy to have a comment from France! I sometimes feel a little alone in my practice of the miniature here!
Happy crafting!
💕💕💕
I want to make my very own pattern book too, but I'm not very clear what to use for it. Is it waxed paper? Or tissue paper ( the kind used here in the USA for gift wrapping and gift pags)?
@@melissaphillips3912 Hi,
it's tissue paper. As I live in France, I don't know what you have in the USA to wrap gifts but here it is exactly this type of fabric that I use. It can be found in shoe boxes, for example. If you are unsure I recommend doing a test first with a piece of magazine that you don't plan to keep. Be careful to use school glue sticks because the glue must be of poor quality so as not to stick forever! 😅
Let me know if it worked and if you were able to create your pattern notebook! I would be happy to have news!
💕💕💕
Thank you. That is what we have too. I appreciate you getting back to me.
@@melissaphillips3912, i used kraft paper or the kind of grey paper Amazon uses to fill and block your parcels. I sewed the sheets together with my sewing machine, very easy, and it looks fine ;)
I'm so glad I found your channel! I was wanting to make kitchen canisters using paper, and couldn't find any on here. Thanks for posting! I've subscribed and look fwd to your helpful videos 😊
I am happy to have been helpful!😊

So cute

Absolutely genius 👍🫶🏻👍 New subscriber 👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻
Thank you for subscribing!💕💕
I just acquired a huge stack of old magazines and love what you are doing. Also i love your voice 😂❤🎉
Thank you for stopping by, I hope you have fun with your magazines!😁
The voice in the video is an AI😅 ... actually I was wondering what viewers would think of that voice! your comment is reassuring! THANKS!
If you want to hear my real voice, you can take a look (or actually listen!😋 ) to one of my French videos!
💕💕💕
@mfamilysminis omg i want an AI voice 🤣 yes i am so busy with my day job its hard to visit everyones channel. 😫 my voice drives me nuts.
it sounds like the AI of "English With Lucy" - I don't know if she knows or has been paid. The AI can't pronounce "choice" or "miniatures" in a human way, amongst other things - and as an English person this is too obvious. I've come across a common advertisement on my Wordle that is the AI of Princess Diana's voice - too funny.
😅👏👏👏🙏😍😍
🥰🥰🥰💞💕
Is that tissue paper or a wax type paper for the idea/pattern book? What a wonderful idea :)
Thank you! It is tissue paper.
💕
Great ideas 👍🏾 new subbie here 😊
THANKS! I'm glad you like it! thank you so much for subscribing!💕
I love your ideas and your videos are well made and I don’t mind the AI voice…but the elevator music drives me nuts, lol.
Thanks a lot! I'm glad you like my ideas.
Thanks for the feedback about the music and AI voice. This helps me improve!
💞💞
Get yourself a pair of cuticle scissors works so much better for cutting around circle shapes.
It's a good idea! I must have that somewhere, I'll try! Thanks!
💕💕
Maybe you could show your face and say hi intro....then say you aren’t that confident in your English skills yet...so it will be read by an AI. But I like the voice better than subtitles. I love them, so cute ❤
Thanks for the advice, I will think about it for my next video!
It is important for me to know what is better; AI voiceover or subtitles.
Thanks for your help!
💕💕
What on earth do you do with these when they’re finished?
I have several miniature projects in progress (at 1:12 and 1:24 scales). So I need quite a few items for each of them. Maybe I'll make videos on these different projects one day...
💕
do you work for fairies in fairyland?
I have a mini fairyland in a lantern project but I don't think I could start it this year! Indeed, I have several projects on the way that I must finish first...
💕
This voiceover sounds... odd - is it perhaps AI generated or something like that? 🤔
Otherwise, this is a lovely video with some charming ideas. 🇫🇷
Thank you for your comment on the voiceover. I was wondering if this is too disturbing! Yes, it's generated by AI because I can write a text in English but it's still difficult for me to read it aloud. In addition to my pronunciation difficulties, I still lack too much self-confidence...
If I have many negative feedback about the voiceover, I may force myself to try with my own voice but my accent may be even more disturbing!😅
Or maybe I'll settle for music and subtitles!😋
I'm glad you like my ideas!
💕
@@mfamilysminisI think it sounds fine, but better if it's a little faster. Listen to the voiceover on 1.25x speed and it sounds pretty natural. I like the accent.

The AI can't pronounce "choice" or "miniatures" in a human way, amongst other things - and as an English person this is too obvious. I've come across a common advertisement on my Wordle that is the AI of Princess Diana's voice - too funny.
interesting. AI voice?
Yes! if you want to hear my real voice, take a look (or listen) to my French videos. The reason why I use a AI voice is that I can write texts in English but I don't speak it fluently and when I try to read my texts, it takes me hours and I pronounce with a very strong French accent! I guess that must not be very pleasant to hear. Hope the AI voice isn't too disturbing?
Thanks for watching the video.💕💕
For Heaven's sake! AI voice - very, very, very annoying.
I was hugely distracted by her weird accent on some words 😅
I apologize for that! It's an AI voice! 😟
However, I think you'd be even more distracted by my real English accent! 😅😅

@@helenmcnair4284 Thanks for the comment.
This AI voice is registered as "peaceful female" in my editing software. I'm considering making videos without voiceovers in the future just with subtitles (it will save me a lot of time!) since it seems to disturb English speakers which is the opposite of the goal: to make my videos accessible to a wider audience!😅
Very clever and creative...but really, what is the point of more stuff?
You'd be good to teach English pronunciation and elocution with your posh accent. Hehe.
Ironic as I think that the sample for this AI voice is actually "English With Lucy" - as she teaches and has a huge back catalogue of videos, they could great great voice sampling. I don't know if she knows though.
