1/12th Scale Wardrobe Tutorial

[@nkbabyof3]

Don't mind me, I'm just sitting at work, drinking a chai latte and watching Julie create her masterpiece. Sssshhh This is what I do when my day gets hectic. Nobody calms me like Julie Warren.

[@JulieWarren]

I can just imagine you crouched behind your computer screen! :)

[@ΕλένηΚογκάκη]

Apart from the absolutely LOVELY things you make, I love the fact that you introduce every little thing you use and the materials for each craft-piece. It's very nice to know exactly what vto have on your craft-table to make something without missing or looking for it atth elast moment!

[@JulieWarren]

Thank you so much!

[@vivianwilson7183]

I just finished watching your video. I was going to try and buy a miniature wardrobe but I saw your video. I always wanted to try making miniatures and you explain things very clearly for beginners. I didn't see the 2.5 mm wooden doorknobs in your store. It may be an oversight on my part. I am subscribing to your channel today. Again thank you!

[@JulieWarren]

Thank you so much for subscribing Vivian. I'm sorry the wooden knobs sold out before you got there, but I will be getting more in soon. Alternatively, you can carve a toothpick into a rounded shape to make a door knob... :)

[@loribbaptista4470]

Love your videos.. So meticulous... Every step of the way... And your voice is so calming that I don't even get frustrated when I do mess up... You have given me the confidence and so much insight.. Thank you!

[@JulieWarren]

Thank you so much, Lorib, I'm so glad you're learning lots for your projects. :)

[@susanagomes6699]

Julie, you're the reason I have a new hobby. Thank you for sharing your excellent work, Your tutorials are the best I've seen, even someone like me who had never worked with wood, can do things that are great !! Once more, thank you.

[@JulieWarren]

Thank you Susana, that is lovely to hear. I'm glad you're enjoying the tutorials and thank you for watching.

[@Bunnyhopper1970]

Susana Gomes yes I feel the same way! Did you get her books they are awesome.

[@JulieWarren]

Thank you Hennreitta.

[@themoonandstars8868]

What a lovely piece!

[@JulieWarren]

Many thanks!

[@mikeandlisafleming3963]

Love your step-by-step, real time tutorials. This way I'm assured I'm doing it correctly! Another lovely piece.

[@JulieWarren]

Thank you.

[@cee3peeoh]

You're amazing! I love how neat and precise you are. You've motivated me to fix up an old dollhouse that I have and want to create my own furnishings! Thanks for the inspiration!

[@JulieWarren]

Thank you so much. I hope you have a lot of fun with your dollhouse fix up.

[@rossywalo]

OMG!!! Love it, love it, love it.

[@JulieWarren]

Thank you Rossy.

[@pamelagillikin9056]

Love this, thinking about starting to do dollhouse things.

[@JulieWarren]

I think you should. But be warned, you'll soon be hooked! :)

[@geri1864]

You are an absolute perfectionist! Love all your videos. Thank you for such clear instructions! Can’t wait for more videos

[@JulieWarren]

Thank you so much Geri.

Beautiful work thanks for tutorials. 🤗👍

[@JulieWarren]

Thank you Marie, you're very welcome.

[@medwelch9915]

You do such a nice job

[@JulieWarren]

Thank you Med.

[@ub_ers8472]

I absolutely love your videos. They are very detailed and precise. Thinking about making little projects as my hobby. Lots of to learn. My question is how long does it take the glue to set so you can restart your work? Thank you and all the best with your projects.

[@JulieWarren]

Thank you so much Urszula. The glue I use, Gorilla Wood Glue, takes really quickly, within minutes, so you can carry on without having to wait for too long! :)

[@MsCandleWick]

Julie! Have you been creeping into my daughter's room/studio at night? You've miniaturized Naomi's wardrobe perfectly! It's another triumph of a piece. I saw your Diary entry and I think the black crackle gets my vote (screen colour discrepancies make it hard though). I am currently recovering from horrid op so can't raid my stash to look for you but will a.s.a.p. 👏👏😁

[@JulieWarren]

Haha. I wanted to choose a traditional style wardrobe, but what a coincidence! I really like the black crackle too and if I don't use it as the main fabric, will certainly make some cushions out of it. Thank you so much for the offer of looking through your fabrics for me, that would be appreciated. I hope you're not in too much pain from your op. Take care.

[@MsCandleWick]

Julie Warren The biggest coincidence is that about 2hrs ago I heard a weird 'flump' noise from Naomi's room and the hairs on the back of my neck rose. (I should explain Naomi lives in Paris now so her room is my studio). I staggered out of bed - coffee mug in hand to slug the 'burglar'. When I crept in the room I found the wardrobe doors open and, at first glance, saw a woman lying on her back wearing an old ball gown of my daughter's behind her bed. On closer inspection it was the collapse of the game of storage Jenga I play with myself - you know the one... I can just put another box of buttons on top of the pile! Who knows what moved it - I simply love the timing though! 😂

[@JulieWarren]

A shiver went down my spine when you said about the woman lying on her back!! Ooh...that is weird though. Perhaps I crept in there sub-conciously!!

[@MsCandleWick]

Julie Warren Oooh Sorry! I didn't mean to 'frit' you! I love weird coincidences. 😊

[@sarahlongshore2605]

This is beautiful!!!

[@JulieWarren]

Thank you Sarah.

[@johannatest8992]

Very lovely piece ❤️ ❤️❤️❤️ i Love it 😊

[@JulieWarren]

Thank you Johanna.

[@laurakotzbauer4573]

That is so precious! If that bottle of Gorilla Glue weren’t there, I would have thought it was real! By the way, I use that glue also.

[@JulieWarren]

Thank you Laura, that's a lovely compliment. I love the Gorilla products.

[@jpsblue1]

Wonderful, thank you so much💖

[@eileenmorgan2027]

I love your tutorials but wonder where I can get a cutting list for them? Kind regards, Eileen

[@JulieWarren]

You will need to use the cutting list shown - the best way to do it, is pause on that part of the video and do a print out. Thanks Eileen.

[@jessicandothings]

Hi Julie! I hope you see this comment. I wanted to know if you have any tips on how to prevent warping after applying varnish or paint to your miniatures. I’m experimenting with different paints on some sample basswood and am coming across this issue! Is it the wood or am I missing a step in the painting process?

[@JulieWarren]

Hi Jessica, it could just be the fact that you're sampling on a single sheet of wood, which will tend to curl upwards as the paint or varnish dries. Sometimes, it can also happen if you're applying too much. Apply thin coats to a constructed piece, and I'll think you'll be fine. Hope that helps. xx

[@jessicandothings]

@@JulieWarren thank you! I’ll try that. :)

[@Jacqueline-ff2rt]

I love this piece, Julie! Where do I find the cutting list?

[@JulieWarren]

The cutting list is including in the video, around 2:53

[@nplawz]

@@JulieWarren AH-MAY-ZING! I see the cut list in the video, but is it possible to link a document in the comments? I took a pic with my phone but it would be great to print it off. Thanks!

[@mackenziehowell2792]

Hi! If I wanted to make this for a 1:6 scale doll would I just simply double all measurements? Thank you!

[@JulieWarren]

Yes, that's right. My designs translate well in to 1:6. I hope you'll enjoy making it.

[@ElaineLimacroche]

I LIKE A LOT OF YOUR WORK, CONGRATULATIONS, THAT WOOD THAT YOU USE USA IS THE WOOD BALSA? THIS WOOD COST VERY EXPENSIVE IN BRAZIL.

[@JulieWarren]

Thank you Elaine. Balsa wood is a little bit flimsy, Obeche is slightly harder and has a tighter grain. Please have a look at my 'Working with Wood' video, which might help with other woods you could use: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kGOppIRsmNB2bJY

[@Bunnyhopper1970]

I love this ! I am such a fan Did you train at a school or take workshops ? I am definitely going to find some soon.

[@JulieWarren]

Thank you Hennreitta. I started out with a few books to learn the basics, but really taught myself. It all started because 20 years ago, when I got my dolls house, there wasn't that much dolls house furniture available and I could never find anything I wanted, so I thought, I'm going to have to make it myself! The rest, as they say, is history!

[@MrsPatmore289]

Julie, love the wardrobe! Did you get a new cutting mat?

[@JulieWarren]

Thank you Maryellen. Yes, it's a new mat (about time, the old one was falling apart!). Thank you for noticing.

[@janetfrias2681]

Wow

[@solve756]

Beautiful as always! Where do you get your clamps? I thought I could get away without using them but I cant...

[@JulieWarren]

Thank you. I sell the clamps in my Etsy store: www.etsy.com/uk/shop/BitsAndPiecesByJulie

[@emmaperez-trevino1220]

Julie, how do you cut the wood? What do you use?

[@JulieWarren]

Hi Emma, I use a Swann Morton craft knife, but do have a look at my 'Working with Wood' video, for some great tips and advice. :)

[@emmaperez-trevino1220]

@@JulieWarren Thank you so much. Am looking at all your videos. You are amazing!!!

[@marykayryan7891]

How in heck do you keep your cutting mat so clean. Mine gets glue all over it. Lovely wardrobe.

[@JulieWarren]

It does get worn out quite quickly, but I replace them fairly often as I think it looks nicer on camera! I'm glad you enjoyed the wardrobe video.

[@siobhanleech631]

I can't find cutting list in this Wardrobe tutorial - from Siobhán

[@JulieWarren]

It’s shown in the video, starting at 2:55.

[@deeblue5346]

I love your Channel I am a subscriber of your Channel I love the furniture that you do I was just wondering have you ever tried to create Sims for Sims 3 furniture from those things I don't know if you are a gamer but just wondering

[@JulieWarren]

Thank you Dee. I am not a gamer, but have heard of Sims, although not about creating furniture for them! Sounds fun.

[@melaniecroft1877]

hi can you use balsa wood

[@JulieWarren]

Hi Melanie, you can, but I don't recommend it, Balsa is very flimsy and doesn't take paint or varnish well.

[@melaniecroft1877]

Thank you😊

[@martinsanchezortiz2958]

WHAT TYPE OF WOOD DO YOU USE

[@MsCandleWick]

MARTIN SANCHEZ ORTIZ Julie uses Obeche wood. :)

Thank you...
