Watch me add custom touches to this tiny tin kit from Temu. There are pieces made entirely from scratch. The café was transformed into a hotel lobby. I added flocking to the plastic bunnies to make them look like Sylvanian Families critters. This video is like a mindfulness meditation. Relax & enjoy :)
Search "Miniature Box Theater 3D Model Diorama Theater DIY Mini Box" on Temu to find this kit and the other options available in this tin style kit

Heat gun- I use mine to quickly dry paint, soften the glue to dismantle furniture and quickly cure polymer clay without an oven. Gets a lot hotter than a hair dryer.

I have lots of projects planned ranging from abandoned miniatures, furniture makeovers, accessories, kits and Dollhouse Miniatures in multiple scales. I also have a large Harry Potter build planned for 1" scale.

Omgosh the little laptop 😮
I was really pleased with how they turned out! It took just a minute to make 🫨
You are unquestionably the Queen of minies. Awesome!
Yep, I agree!!
I graciously accept 👑
What a good idea to make a mold of the cake for future use.❤🎂
I've already made 5 tiny air dry clay cakes from that mold!
@queencityminis How sweet! haha Smart thinking making the mold.🩷💕
I have to remind myself to breathe while watching your videos. I wonder how many more weirdos do this careful breathing, as to not blow away what you're working on. I can't be the only one.😂
😂 You are definitely not the only one!
@@jenpink4298 Phew! I'm glad I'm not alone.😄
🤣 Ara of Bentley House Minis sneezed and lost a tiny paper spoon from a recent project. She glued the rest of the items down, so one place setting will forever be missing a spoon. I have sighed deeply and lost minis. It's a hazard 😆
@queencityminis I can imagine a surly waiter with a big moustache hissing to the one left without a spoon: "No Soup For You!" 😁
@@karinberonius8799😂😂
OMG…. These are adorable. I immediately went and ordered every kit I could find plus way too much other stuff.
It is soooo addictive! 😆
Have fun! I want the other tin kits now. This kit was a lot of fun to assemble.
Love how this turned out!!! Thanks for sharing your techniques!
You are so welcome!
Thank you So much for signing off you made my day! This was fun to watch
You're welcome 🤗
Your upgrades are always so well thought out, detailed, and make you a master at this.
I appreciate that 😊 Thank you!
It turned out adorable. I especially loved the creative customizations you did. The glue on the bed frame for dimension was brilliant.
Thank you! 😊 I did the same thing for the wardrobe closet but the footage was blurry so I didn't show it.
@@queencityminis these easy creative solutions you give are priceless, I’m always surprised and learn something new. Thank you!
Hey, didn’t you adopt a dollhouse a little while back? Any updates there?
Amazing! You do fabulous work! I could watch you work & listen to you all day! Thank you for your videos!😊
Wow, thank you! I've been so busy with work for the last couple months. I can't wait to get back into making videos in a couple weeks. I worked on this video when I really was too busy to be doing this but I just had to make something.
I love these little tin kits. I’ve done a couple of them, not this one though.
Going to remember the glue to give the wood dimension trick.
It doesn't work well with white glue (like Elmer's). Wood glue works great for that. I used Formula 560 Canopy glue in the video.
I've had a stressful morning, and this is the perfect antidote 😊 Your work and voiceover are so calming
I'm glad your stressful morning has improved! Thank you
I love how you made this more your own. Your improvements made it 100% better! 👍
My favorite part of miniature kits is adding custom details to elevate them. Thank you!
Love this little build! I wish my eyesight was what it used to be so I could make things this tiny again. Ah well... I can watch you and enjoy the process that way. Thank you!
You're welcome 😁 I dropped the first tiny table I made and couldn't find it, so I switched to a second one I made mid-way through the tutorial 😆
@@queencityminis
Soooooo cute! So tiny! Absolutely love this project and your customizations make it even better. I didn't want this video to end!
Thank you so much! I love this little kit. Turning the lights on is so satisfying.
Itty bitty! So stinking cute!
Thank you :)
I love this little scene! Paris street scenes are my favorite!! ❤
This was a blast!
I found your channel not to long ago. I'm amazed by your Talent. I enjoy watching you create something out of just cereall boxes. I haven't watched all of your videos but I intend to. Please keep up the great work. I'm looking forward to your pub that you keep talking about.
Welcome! I'm glad you have so many videos to catch up on. I've probably watched every miniature tutorials on TH-cam by now (😆), but I was always excited when I found a new channel to binge.
I can't wait to start the pub. I have been so busy working, I haven't had time. It's driving me nuts. Things are winding down now. I'll be back in high gear for my channel within a couple weeks.
Very nice tutorial, and I love how the modifications came out ❤
Thank you! 😊
WOW did this turn out SO WELL!! I love all the changes you made ~ they really enhanced the project. I particularly loved adding glue to the bed for detail. Was that wood glue?? I also absolutely love the enhancement to the kittens. :)
Thank you! The glue is actually Formula 560 Canopy glue. I got it on Amazon. Model makers use it to attach sails to tiny ships. It's like thin tacky glue to me. It really holds it's dimension when it dries. Wood glue also works well for adding dimension, but it takes longer to dry. The Canopy glue only took 5 mins or so. Elmer's glue doesn't work well for that trick.
I kept calling the kittens bunnies and in my mind, they were bunnies. Now I can clearly see they're kittens, even though one has a bunny tail 🐇 The story is about two kittens in Paris. It's all a puzzle lol
@@queencityminis Baby bunnies are called kittens too!
Have you ever done a video on how you got started in miniatures? What sparked your interest? I think they are simply amazing and your tutorials are over the top. I appreciate that you do not print your minis on a 3D printer. I can do that! You have an eye for trash to treasure but itty bitty size. 💓
Not yet! I should do that at some point. I'll be setting up a new studio within the next few months. Maybe I'll explain how I got started and do a studio tour.
@@queencityminis, yes, yes, I'll be watching!
A few years ago when I became interested in minis, I watched a channel where the girl put together fairly complicated kits of 2 and 3 story houses. Some with pools and/or landscaping. Of course, all of the interior furniture and accessories. I like the additions you made to the kit. Big improvements.❤
I bought a kit like that. Now that I've assembled this little guy, I'm extra impressed by those videos. The amount of time and work editing must be enormous. For this small project, I had 3.5 hours of footage and 382 clips to edit down.
@@queencityminis Wow, wow. That's a lot of time. It was a small kit, but it was detailed. Adorable results.😊💕🩷
I had fun making one of these a few years ago but didn’t do any customization. You did an amazing job!
Thank you! 😊 Adding custom touches is my favorite part! I knew I couldn't use that red plaid fabric provided. I'm not sure why that's the vibe the kit was going for.
I love all the details you added and changed to really lift it up a notch, you really added your own style to the kit, and I watched to the end 😉
Thank you so much ☺️ One of my viewers asked if I could sign off at the end so I will from now on.
You always amaze me with the way you add your personal touches. So nice.
Thank you so much!
How sweet was this....and sooo tiny...I love your little changes..and what steady hands you have...I thoroughly enjoyed this
Thank you so much!
I can't believe all the details in this tiny tin. The details just kept coming, I'm thinking how much more can fit in this space...lol Omgosh, so adorable! And it was great to see what I can do with the fuzzy flocking. I wonder if I can dye it and add it to church to make his fur look more realistic. Thank you for sharing!❤️🥰
You can try dying it. I've had success adding color with chalk pastels after it's been applied as well.
I love all your changes and details- so satisfying to watch. Also I’ve seen videos of people putting these together but having some narration describing what you’re doing and why makes AAAALLLL the difference. It doesn’t even compare.
Thank you so much! I added voiceover any time I deviated from the instructions and/or materials provided in the kit. I didn't want someone buying the kit and thinking, "I'm missing that item from my kit" 😆
@@queencityminis I’d even like if you say like, this part is really hard, or this part I had to be careful about X. Like, videos for those kits make them look easy but they’re NOT.
I love that you add more details ( not to hard to do ) ,love your version .
Thank you so much! Simple changes make a big difference.
Aw, so stinkin' cute!! Of course, your customizations are perfect! The little side table, the flocking and florals, all the things! I have to say, though, the teeny little gingerbread house got me!! Thanks for this!!
I really love the flocking. I'm so glad I got all that colorful flocking. I'll be adding flowers to projects for years to come.
The gingerbread house is so cute! The little container of pink stuff (cotton candy?) sitting on the counter is so cute too.
Yes! For sure!!
Absolutely mind blown
Thank you 😊
I love watching your work and I still find it so relaxing.
Thank you very much 😊
Very cute. I thought about getting one of those mini kits but I lose pieces of my regular size projects quite often. I would end up losing my mind trying to keep all the parts together. Then there's always the chance one of the cats would try to help... I love the look that you gave it with all the greenery.
I hear that. I lean back in my chair when I'm working on small things up close. Then I drop things and have to crawl around looking for them. I also kept losing things I was holding in my tweezers. That's even worse bc they fly across the room. There would be a "ping" and the item is gone.
Oh my! That turned out so adorable! I love all the little costume touches.
Thanks so much! 😊
So cute and so very tiny!
Thank you! Some of the items are so tiny, I had to zoom in quite a bit to show them off 😆
Wow, so cute. And tiny! So much detail, love the parts where you make the less than perfect parts of the kit look great!
Thanks so much! 😊
absolutely gorgeous
Thank you! 😊
Adorable, great customizing!
Thank you! 😊
Absolutely stunning Shyra 😊
Thanks so much 😊
@@queencityminis You are most welcome Shyra 😊
Wonderful artistry. Thank you. As always.
Thank you 😊
Been following your channel for a month or so now. You do fantastic work! Wish my hands were that steady… Keep up the great work!!!
Welcome 🤗 Thank you! I have to try to keep my hands steady. Then I try to edit out any shaking.
Adorable 😊 and very cute additional details. Your so creative
Thank you! 😊
😍🔥🎈🤗🔥🎉🎈 cuteness overload teeny tiny little toys and dollhouse
I agree! Thank you
I love all the personalised touches you added, it really just made the whole scene so much more detailed. And we know you are the Queen of amazing detail! I am both quite envious, and inspired by your talent Shyra
Thank you so much!! I thought this would be a quick and easy project to film and edit. Then I ended up with 3.5 hours of footage and 382 clips! I'm glad all the time and effort were worth it.
Love this little build! I wish my eyesight was what it used to be so I could make things like this.
They sell magnifying glasses that sit on your desk on a stand. They work great.
@@queencityminis Yes i do remember that I have the ottlite magnifier. Thanks for reminder.
It is adorable! You have so much art- sense! And patience... ❣💞 I like how you can make a kit even better.
Thank you so much! Customizing kits is so much fun.
Oh so cute!
I love the flocking of the little bunnies. Adorable!
@@queencityminis I spent about 3 hours making a shopping cart on Amzn to start making cute tiny things. It looks so relaxing!
Thanks for lowering my blood pressure 😂😂😂💞
This is adorable!! I love how you customized this kit 👏 so cute❤
Thank you! 🤗
This was a nice and relaxing episode!
Glad you enjoyed it!
After seeing your kit in a different video I ordered one for myself BUT I've been too intimidated to start it 😄 Thank you for sharing this video! I'm not so scared anymore & am feeling more confident about doing it. It will be my 1st miniature ever.
I felt intimidated when I opened the box and saw all the bits, but the instructions are good. There are lots of photos to guide you.
You got me hooked on miniatures now! Lol❤ such great videos❤
I am intentionally spreading the addiction hehe
Incredible. You do amazing work!
Thank you very much!
This lady makes everything she touches a million times better❤
You're too kind 😊
Oh my, this is the cutest ever 😍 😊
Thank you 😊
Cute and beautiful work
Thank you! 😊
15 seconds in and I’m hooked. That voice. My happy place. And lovely skill.
Thank you! I appreciate it
This was amazing and beautiful to watch! Your custom touches were perfect, thanks for sharing. New sub!
Thank you so much! Thanks for subscribing 🤗
Excellent!! Your talent and creativity is amazing and so fun and relaxing to watch, thank you 😊
Thank you so much 😀
It is absolutely beautiful 🤩❤️
I appreciate it 😊
Precious!! ❤
Thank you 😊
This turned out really great. A dollhouse for the dollhouse being that tiny. I know a lady that created a woodland scene inside of a pocket watch case. Needed a magnifying glass to see the details but was great as well. Have a great day and thank you for sharing
Oh wow! That sounds incredible.
Soo good!! Very inspiring.
Thanks so much!
I'm such a rule follower, I rarely deviate from the instructions. You've literally set me free😂
I never, ever follow the instructions to the letter. Be free!
Omg beautiful beautiful 👌
Thank you! Adding the flocking to the bunnies was so satisfying.
Super sweet, and I love your personal details, the fuzzy bunnies 😂💖
Thanks so much! I was so pleased with how they turned out. I bought all that flocking for one small project a while back, so I'm working my way through it a tiny bit at a time.
amazing details lots of fun watching it. i cant wait to make my own mini faerieland house
Go for it! That sounds absolutely adorable.
I needed this today thank you 😆
You are so welcome!
I just recently finished this one myself! 😂 If you enjoyed putting this together, the other Box Theatres are just as fun and therapeutic ❤. Your modifications are absolutely amazing! Keep up the whimsy!!!
This was WAY more satisfying than I thought it would be. I assumed it would be pretty frustrating. It was a lot of fun.
Your r truly amazing watching how u put this mini kit together, how u added ur touches. I hve this kit .. I will try to follow ur instructions.
Thank you so much! Enjoy
Exquisite 😍
Thank you 😊
So very cute, and your customisations are brilliant! What sort of clear glue did you use to stick the light switch part to the wood and tin?
That was Fabritac glue. You can also use Beacon 3-in-1. They're both acetone based glues.
Amazing work. Do you sell your creations?
Not yet, but maybe someday
It says two kittens, did you change it to bunnies or was that an error?
That seems like a "you get what you pay for" sort of situation. The kit cost $13. It came with the two bunnies. I didn't even realize it was supposed to be two kittens 😆
❤👍
Thank you 😊
Sooo cute! Do you know of any 1:12 size kits? This is a bit too small for my skill 😂
th-cam.com/video/tjDOSgJW8JI/w-d-xo.html&feature=share8
I got 1:12 scale kits in this video.
@@queencityministhank you!
What glue gives you dimension to the bed ?
I don't recall but I'm guessing wood glue
I have made this kit but I couldn't figure out the wiring. Directions were confusing???
Can you possibly describe in detail the wiring process?
I twisted the wires together and secured the ends with tape. I checked that they still worked throughout the process.
Two kittens? They look like rabbits 😅
I know! That's what I was saying. Someone else commented baby rabbits are called kits or kittens, so these are baby bunnies.
