Hi there! That first biscuit blind bag you opened is a Chinese moon cake. And the big fish bread you were wondering about is Bungeo-ppang which is a Korean bread usually filled with red bean paste or cream. Hope this helps! ❤

I love that little biscuit as a bar of decorative soap. Those blue glasses are amazing. You can easily dye 2 part epoxy resin with a verrrrrry small amount of alcohol ink such as the Tim Holtz alcohol inks at Michaels. Or, if you have a blue sharpie, you could extract a little bit of ink from that on a toothpick. You can also use extremely minute amounts of acrylic paint, but you have to mix it really well, and depending on the opacity of the paint, the end result might be slightly opaque. The alcohol ink will remain clear.

I don't subscribe to Time. I've read conflicting things about Temu. Temu doesn't manufacture products. They're a marketplace for selling other companies' items.

[@dawsie]

The first of the food items is called Mooncake made for Chines New Year. The large tumbler glass is more of a desert glass we use to get ice cream, fruit, jelly and cream called a “Knickbockerglory” we would drive for hours to a small seaside town in the UK just to buy one each. It came in the large over sized tumbler with a very long handled teaspoon and a straw For the over sized beer mug, you could add a touch of UV Resin to close the handle off. Have a look at the German beer stein mugs and try and paint them to look like a real one. Use a bead cap to make the lid of the beer stein. Some of the bottles could pass for wine bottles from the 1600-1800 as the hand made wine bottles were a little bigger than the modern bottles of today which are mass produced. Where as the older bottles were hand blown glass placed into a hand carved wooden mould when blown, as the wooden moulds got older the bottles would inches a little more in size. The bottles would also have thicker glass compared to the modern bottles. As you mentioned the rose heart mould would make some really great pieces for furniture or even roses added to a climbing rose vine for a atrium attached to a dollhouse. That’s why I bought mine a few years back. Just finished watching all of your hauls some stuff is really nice. I might have a look at the site after all as the last lot that I bought from a different company were just not worth the money I spent on them. Thank you for taking the time to share, it really helped me.

Update: The glass paint I bought from Temu is available at from Walmart.com for $15.15. I paid $6.99. I got a refund for the bottles and needle syringes bc my bottles were missing their caps.

[@wandahastings8470]

The sewing box is actually different from the one I got. When you replace the ribbon, tiny chain would be cute too, in it's place. Too bad the cutting tools don't work.

[@queencityminis]

I wish I had gotten one of each of all the offerings. It seems they've sold out.

[@wandahastings8470]

@@queencityminis I know it's hard to decide and if you're like me, you want it all. I saw that many things I saved are gone. I'm hoping they get them back one day. I hope it wasn't just a limited thing. 😳

Ps. I was eyeing those knife pens for my second Temu haul for my channel. You saved me 67 cents or whatever 😊

[@queencityminis]

Yup! Stay far, far away. I'll have to play around with them to try to get them to work. Maybe there's a trick. Or they just suck!

[@starrwilson6818]

I have those knife pens from Temu and used them for exactly what you planned to use them for. Maybe that one was defective because I really love mine. They worked amazingly well.

[@Shari_A._]

I'm not a fan of those one glasses either, but maybe you can make them look better by turning them into rootbeer floats or something? I'm sure they have a use I've never seen. heh The pastry fish, however, I have seen. I can't remember where but I saw a large loaf of bread shaped like a fish, and remember thinking it was weird and wondering if it had a filling, or if it was just bread. My mom buys me the butter cookies every Christmas. I think the tin she gives me just says Danish butter cookies on it. It's blue. (Yeah, commenting as I watch.. sorry! heh) Maybe the weird handled glasses could be used as 1:24 scale pitchers. The pen blades look like they use the same blades as my Cricut. Weird. Ok.. I'm done.. Love miniature hauls, and mystery bags, so this was a lot of fun. Thank you. I have had mystery bags and other things sitting in my cart for a while now.. Just waiting for the day I can spend a little money to get it, without feeling guilty about it.. haha

[@queencityminis]

I'll definitely try to fix those big glasses I don't like. Someone else suggest a planter. That's a good idea. They are shaped like terra cotta pots. The fish is a South Korean thing. It looks delish on Google. Apparently you can buy the Danish tin filled with mini cookies on Temu! I need to go look for it right now.

[@Shari_A._]

@@queencityminis Oh yeah.. A planter would be good too. I'll look up the fish, even though I've seen it before, I know nothing about it. And for anyone that reads, when I say weird, I don't mean it in a bad way. Lots of weird things are pretty awesome. Thanks for mentioning the tin.. Now I have something else to add to my cart.. haha That would be great in the little room box I want to make for my mom, for Christmas.

*sorry this will be a bit long* The mug at the beginning looks like it could be great for a modern cafe, you could do a fancy late or maybe have it as those soup bowls that look like coffeee cups for asthetic the watches look like they would look amazing in a jewlery shop case if you painted the seam on the macaroon you might be able to play it off as a double filing? the one "frame" could make an amazing beauty and the beast style hand mirror the goldfish looks like its supposed to be Taiyaki(i hear its good) the weird (almost to big) glass looks like it could be for a fancy milkshake(maybe those couples milkshakes with 2 straws) The broken glass could make a simple hanging bell light Also have you looked at Miniverse toys for use in minis? i got a few of the ones from the "home" set and the plants look like they might work but the milkshake ones seem to large. just some thoughts XD

[@queencityminis]

I think I may display the watches in the Boutique I'm planning to make. I could certainly make a Beauty & the Beast style frame to display in the shop. I think you're right! It does look like a big milkshake glass.

I got those blade pens as well and no matter what I‘ve tried, I haven‘t been able to make them work for anything. They don‘t even cut down a straight line when held against a metal ruler! Sadly a total waste of money. Oh btw, if you want to make those butter cookies yourself, there‘s a silicone mould with all of them (and more shapes) that you can use with polymer clay. I have it and it‘s amazing, it‘s one of my most used silicone moulds.

[@queencityminis]

I believe I bought a silicon mold just like that. I got a few molds on Etsy. I haven't tried them yet.

[@queencityminis]

I have realized the blade doesn't work if you try to pull and slice. You have to press it straight down. Not very useful or practical.

[@ritah9890]

i bought the same toilet some time ago. i realised that it's hard to find bath room items in REAL 1/12 scale such as toilets or bathtubes. i struggle in making them myself, because i want them to look neat and not too crooked. i guess i will alter and distress this plastic toilet item and add it to a really ugly toilet room box :)

[@queencityminis]

I wish Chrysnbon made a modern toilet. Their toilet is perfect 1:12 scale, but it has an antique style upper tank.

[@ritacorrieri9172]

@@queencityminis I saw someone put a top on the Chrysnbon tank, cut the water pipe and fit the tank to a standard height. Very cute.

I love Temu. I order all the time and am rarely disappointed. and if I ever am disappointed I get an instant refund no questions asked no returning . I also like that if something is delivered even a day later than they say they give $5 credit right away without asking. I wear wigs and their $5.00 $10.00 wigs are as good as any $300.00 ones I have bought

[@queencityminis]

Same here! I've had great experiences. I've ordered household things and tools as well.

Hey love the haul but I'm curious where did you pick up the jar mold? I hope you'll make a video make those. But really where did you find the mold?

Well, I only recently shopped at Temu. Most of the Miniatures I have, I have made with everyday items, trash, and recyclables. They seem to have everything, so I bet they do.

Man, am I a dork. As soon as I saw the beaker set, my immediate thought was that someone could paint the shelf to look like metal, fill the beakers with colored fluid/resin, and it could be used for a miniature mad science lab...no, I don't know why I'm watching a video about dollhouse miniatures when I think like that.
