  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 24 มิ.ย. 2018
  • Hey guys! This is the 5th and final edition of my Dollar Tree desk makeover series. To create this look, I used 1 popsicle stick,5 wooden coffee stir sticks, 4 matchsticks, 2 pairs of chopsticks, and a travel bottle or water bottle. For the hardware, I used a scrap from a coffee stir stick, 2 Q-Tips, a pill capsule, and a small drinking straw. I used wood glue throughout the tutorial but I do use a tad bit of e 6000 on the hardware.
    I removed a lot of pieces from this so its almost unrecognizable as the original Dollar Tree desk and I also added a lot of pieces. Because of the amount of changes and detail, this video is longer than the other pieces I have made in this series.
    Working on a recap video today...hopefully it will be up tonight.

    I use chopsticks, too! There are certain chopsticks that have grooves at the top and they make a special addition to furniture. You rock!

    This is so excellent! The way you made this was pure genius! The marbling, the sink, everything. I love the colors you used. Very informative! ❤❤❤😊

    Your newest tip for pulling apart the wood pieces is to put the whole thing in the microwave for 30 seconds. My gosh, I’ve never pulled apart anything so quickly. I just love this series. Thank you!

    You are BRILLIANT for solving my dollar tree furniture "knobs" woes!!!! Who would've thought to use acetone and wood putty?!?! I've battled those knobs to where they make decoupaging almost impossible. Now, I can pull them off and fill in the hole with wood putty. Thank you for thinking outside of the box!!!!🌸🌹🏵

    I just stacked together 2 of the dollar tree chest of drawers and put 30 drawer fronts on it for an apothecary cabinet. Was wracking my old brain on how to make those drawer pulls and never would have thought to use pill capsules. My life just got a whole lot less complicated. Thanks so much!

    I actually bought a bag of empty capsules to make wine goblets in 12th scale. Now you have given me more ideas what to do with the rest! This is lovely but we don't have dollar tree here but I can still improvise!

    Recently learned a new, easy way to take apart these pieces by microwaving them for 10-15 seconds, softens the glue makes removing sections so much easier.

      I was going to try to use aluminum. I actually pulled out the capsules to make something else and I had a light bulb over my head moment.

    I’m having flashbacks watching you cut the piece apart with that exacto knife 😳😳😬😬 just recently sliced my finger with an exacto knife whilst doing just this!! Felt like I hit a nerve, worst cut/pain I’ve ever felt!! Healed up nice but still have pain, bump & numbness 😬 WISH I WATCHED THIS VIDEO BEFORE MY ATTEMPT!! After bandaging I did finish the dismantling of the piece but I cringe while I use any type of knife or saw, etc 🙄

    • @RealLifeDollhouseMiniatures
      @RealLifeDollhouseMiniatures  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Wolfkins1972 I got these in Brunswick, GA but I've seen them in several locations in the US. They are in the toy section. Ask your local dollar tree if they carry them...I've noticed mines runs out of stock of several items near the holidays. Where do you live?

      Wolfkins1972 I posted on my community board for someone in eastern pa to tell me where in that area they've found a DT with the furniture in it. I got a response from a lady who says she saw them in a Dollar Tree in Whitehall. Hopefully that helps.
