Making Chairs🪑🪑 for my BEETLEJUICE Dollhouse! (and Utensils!)

[@NexJen]

Oooh perfect video to do needle point with and enjoy my coffee... Great timing 🤗

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

Oooh what are you making?? This curious mind wants to know ;) Enjoy your coffee!!

[@pixelilly]

I often work on embroidery projects while watching Ara's (and yours too Jen) videos

[@DiannelLaird]

I am not doing any needle point but I watch both of you too, but Jen’s been MIA lately. Come on Jen I need another great laugh. I absolutely love your sense of humour.🥰❤️🥰

[@NexJen]

@@BentleyHouseMinis oh I'm so sorry for the delayed response I hadn't seen this comment. I'll send you a picture of the finished product but I was making a portrait of two loved ones who sadly passed on. Then I surrounded them in roses and Vines.

[@NexJen]

@@DiannelLaird well I posted a vlog video LOL and two on a GBTB. But I do have one coming for the next Jen Channel.☺️ Things have been crazy for me this year I'm sorry.

[@gypsyrobin]

It doesn't matter if the 7th chair doesn't fit at the table because as the scene progresses, Lydia actually moves her chair towards the wall and hides behind it as Delia starts to do the Day-O dance. So that's how you can set the dining room scene up with Lydia & her chair in the corner. Nice job on the animal hides.

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

Thank you! I agree with you on the chair. I could also use it in the living room if I need something in a corner some where.

[@awigman7]

That cow print looks so cool! Such a great effect with the ink absorbing along the paper fibers.

[@grammyspa-jammies1737]

"My hand is washable and non stick." I love it. You always amaze me with the way you come up with all your creations.

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

Lol thank you!

[@JayofallTrades]

I find 3d prints and laser cutting an amazing technological advance for miniatures. When I was looking for dollhouse furniture a decade ago i didn't know where to begin. Now there's so many options. Love the chairs.

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

I agree!! I am so thankful to have those options especially when I need to make multiples of something that have to match! I just try to balance it for those that don't have access to those machines and still want to learn how to make minis. I love making things by hand too much to go full on technology but sometimes its too helpful not to use! ;)

[@JFLATTERMANN]

Love the chairs, Ara. They go perfectly with the dining room. Dahlia would approve for they are looking very stylish.

[@andreavictoriaparadiso47]

Such great chairs. I love the A-line to the back and the "fur" really looks like fur. I don't think anyone would guess it wasn't. The bleeding effect really made it happen. Love the little utensils and thank you for the pattern...much appreciated, as always. I'm so thrilled that you used my napkins and happy they fit the scene. Everything is looking so fabulous, especially in front of the window with the cool blue light coming thru. Always enjoy everything you do and appreciate all your time, energy and enthusiasm!

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

Thank you for sending me the napkins to use! They look so great with the cow pattern on the back of the chair :) So glad you enjoyed it!

[@georgecunningham9175]

Lovely design aesthetic! you captured the mood of the originals, but introduced your own brand of personalization to great effect. As usual the end product is brilliant! And the flatware is genius! I see it is available in sets at your store, so when my butler's pantry is ready for clutter you will hear from me!

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

Thank you George! The kits will be ready when you are! ;)

[@carrie4910]

That cow pattern looks awesome. Love the chair’s and I can definitely imagine the hand cramps if you had hand cut those 😝

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

Thank you Carrie!! For real lol!!

[@ResinBelle]

Those turned out so amazing! I do love the black and white. Also love the idea of one of the sculptures walking around the house lol. Too fun!

[@queencityminis]

I watch every video of yours even though I've only actually done a few of the projects. I know every video will be entertaining and relaxing and you've never disappointed! Thank you for sharing.

[@janefox7332]

Hi hunny it's jane from Nottingham your chairs are beautiful the room is just like the house in the film it's my favorite film betaljuice god bless hunny xx👍😄

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

Thank you Jane!!

[@tinykeyholeminis]

Yaaay, I haven't even watched the video, I'm so excited and what a great surprise! 🥰🤗💖

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

Yay! I hope you enjoy it!😊

[@SilvaraHale]

I love it if the Miniatures are nearly identical with the original Pattern. In this case I would have seen that the Fur has the Colours they have in the Movie. But that's only my personal liking. The Chairs itself turned out really good. I like your Work.

[@wormholehead]

I don't even know how to express how much I love this!!! So cute, these chairs and place settings!

[@marianhoblyn2552]

That gingerbread house is amazing, and your daughter has an awesome imagination.

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

So glad you enjoyed it Marian!

[@saragoff9065]

Oh my goodness Ara! These chairs are awesome. I love that you went with the cow print. It worked so well. As always, I love your videos. You are so incredibly talented!! 💚

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

Thank you Sara! I was so glad that Stephanie's chairs gave me the idea! I will be saving hers for another project💖

[@CornucopiaOFmadness]

This whole room is so amazing. The chairs fit so perfectly and I like the cow look better than the grey 🤗

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

Thank you!!😊

[@awenbunny]

Love the chairs. The string detail is fabulous and how you did it is inspired! You’re truly amazing to watch. Love both the hands-on work and the tech ones.

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

Thank you Bunny! I appreciate that!

[@Utaunei]

The black and white fur matches the black and white in the granite, I like it a lot!

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

Thank you!!

[@loribillings3810]

Your so talented Ara. I just love watching you work your magic on your miniatures you truly have a gift. I have always like miniatures of all types. Thank you for sharing your talent.

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

Aww thank you Lori😊

[@laurawiles410]

I enjoyed seeing how you made the chairs, but I loved the "gingerbread" house video! It was all warm and fuzzy. 🥰 It's hard to believe that little girl is grown-up enough to do your voice-over when you lose your voice!

[@sharoncarter9301]

I love those chairs!!! I like them better than the ones in the movie😁

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

Yay! Thank you!

[@0LorreneBaumDavis0]

Love the black & white cow chairs.

[@Shari_A._]

The chairs turned out so great!! I love that you used the cow hide to match the napkins. I think the important thing was that it was fur, not what type, so you nailed it. Thanks so much for the free SVG and the extra Christmas video. It was a joy to watch. Everyone needs some purple furniture in their lives. Your daughter has fantastic taste. (no offense to your brown furniture, of course.. haha) Thanks again, for everything!!

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

I hope to work on her dollhouse with her one day... and sure there will be no brown paint allowed lol! All pastels and bright colors! So glad you enjoyed the video!

[@JustJennyKelly]

Your chairs are awesome! And I’m definitely liking the cow pattern. It gives more interest in the scene without the needing the characters sitting down in the chairs. And those utensils…😱. Reminds me of my Barbie wedding set from the 80s…it came complete with an arch, cake, invitations and full dinner place settings including gold charger plates, dinner plates and gold utensils 😂. And I thought 1:6 scale utensils were tiny!!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

Thank you! That makes me so happy to hear because I probably won't ever have dolls sitting in those chairs (maybe for a pic or two) but its great to know they room holds enough interest of its own! These are probably twice as small as Barbie utensils!😮

[@wayouteast1957]

Beautiful work, Ara. They look amazing. I love your Beetlejuice house! I don't know if anyone else has recommended any metallic airbrush paints to you, but I've found that the Alclad II metallics range are brilliant. They come in 'standard' metallics like copper, steel and aluminum, which are designed to go over a matt or satin black base coat, and 'polished' metal, like brass, chrome or polished aluminum, which go over a gloss black basecoat. They airbrush beautifully straight out of the bottle, and dry almost instantly to leave a perfect metal look which is quite hardwearing. To make things even more permanent, Alclad also do a gloss varnish called 'Aqua Gloss' which protects the surface without dulling the metallic effect. The paints are designed to be applied in two or three very thin coats, so can cover even quite large areas with a very small amount, and last ages too. They are acrylic laquers so do need something like Mr.Color thinner to clean the airbrush. I swear by them.

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

Thank you for the paint suggestion Jon! I will look into them!

[@foxhousecreations4869]

How absolutely aprapo to use creepy cloth on a Beetlejuice chair!!!!! And the chairs turned out super!

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

Haha so true! I think it would have worked with the style if I didn't trim the extra bits too... like spider legs😄

[@lauramiller3862]

Beetlejuice IS a holiday movie for me. Love your work ❤

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

Lol thank you!

If you want mela,lic look with metalic paint always use a black under gpcoat , u used grey and overtime the grey is gonna eat thecmetalic up , dont know why but its because its in the same colour range

[@wonderwend]

It all looks fab! I love your outtakes the best 🤣🤣

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

Lol thank you!!😄

[@ladystardust2547]

This is looking so good!! I had a thought when you were listing off the small details you wanted to add to the dining room like an ice bucket; I swear you had one or two miniature buckets from one of those Grab Bag episodes you might be able to use, but then that gave me another thought LOL I always loved the videos of you opening those and showing all of them off, or videos of you showing your mini hoard... what if you did a full inventory/catalog of everything you have? It might help you keep track of what you have, and I know a lot of us would love to see what all you have! :) Congrats on 100k subs!

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

Great thought! I will have to go through some of my storage and double check. I know I had some buckets but I don't remember any ice. I think that would be easy enough to make though. I do need to reorganize so I will keep that in mind😊 Thank you!!

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

I am so glad my video can help in any way! I think your choice of outfit sounds perfect! I am wearing one Christmas sock and one purple striped sock😆 No time to match this morning (or any morning if I am honest)

Kudos to the fashionista! I just made fur-lined eyeglasses, and I am loving them, Cheers to the ones who are unique!

Beautiful Ara! Love that you have a helper with the 3d printer! I can’t wait to make that investment in the future. The chairs turned out amazing!!

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

They are getting more and more affordable which makes me happy! Thank you Jennifer!

[@rachaelkasper5445]

The chairs turned out beautifully! I love those utensils...so so tiny! The gingerbread house video is delightfully imaginative and fun. Purple furniture!! I want some! LOL The dining room is coming to life and every time I see it, that scene replays in my head and I giggle. This was a perfect inspirational video to watch while I assemble a staircase for my new 1/2 scale house that I've just started today! YAY!! Thank you for the SVG files. They're always so helpful.

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

Sad to think we will have to move on to another scene soon lol!! I am so glad you enjoyed the Gingerbread video. I enjoyed watching it again and reliving that time when she was so little! Have fun building your staircase for your new project! I can't wait to see!

Ive been putting it off for so long but the other day i was in hobby lobby and figured ive been putting it off to long since i was scared that i just need to try and i wanna thank you for the push ive needed. Also srry for the ramble lol.

Your talent is always awe-inspiring! great job with these. BTW has anyone ever told you that you look like Ginnifer Goodwin? You're both so pretty! :)

[@tinykeyholeminis]

Nice Job👍! Every Time I see you pull out that airbrush I think about the first time you got it which I don't even know how long ago ...lol but I can't help saying look at you go with that thing ..getting better and better..now your like a pro!🤗 I need to find my son's airbrush kit and maybe start learning how to use that, I know we bought alot of Testors model paint for the airbrush and they have metallics, don't know if you could use those on the cutouts, I'm not found of them but it's only because I'm not experienced with those and I was painting by hand but in the sprayer I'm sure they are successful. Now I'm going over to the Xmas link💖🥰 Happy Holidays!

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

Lol thank you!! Getting over the initial fear of even using it was the first step and after that it was more and more fun to use! I need to do a video where all I do is experiment with it and try new things. I think that would be fun! Enjoy the video!😊🎄

[@tinykeyholeminis]

@@BentleyHouseMinis I thought it was so adorable doing this with your daughter, the first thing I noticed was those painting skills..at that age it's a natural talent! And Grandpas trying to figure out the t.v... lol "first grandpa you have to find it!"💖 And Ik in other videos you said she's the artist, I know she's still just a baby girl and it's a mom's safety net, but you should do more videos with her in the future! I'm sure she is excelling! It's gonna be so much fun for you to Collab with her when she gets into high school! 🥰

[@traciebourque6293]

Which laser cutter do you use? I am thinking about getting one, but, it has to be user friendly for me.

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

I use a K40 because it was cheap but it has taken a lot of upgrades and adjustments to get it to do what I wanted. If you are looking for user friendly you will want to look into Glowforge. Unfortunately the price goes up a lot with them but the service (from what I hear) is wonderful!

''Turbo Dork for airbrush metallics

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

Thank you for the suggestion!

[@signaltome]

Making so many chairs I can certainly see why you cut them out the way you did. Besides there was plenty of hand made parts on it anyway, no judging on how you di things anyway. ;-) Seeing that table again I have to say, it looks VERY good. It really comes off as polished stone. Still amazed at how things really fit together in the end even if it all looks weird during the creative process. Just how it is I guess? Chairs came out all right too! I guess that one cow really had mostly black spots? :-P No worries, if they were all uniform it would not look as good put together into the final composition. Great work as usual. :-) Edit: I though I didn't have much to say on the utensil parts of the build here but I just have to make a comment on THOSE ARE TINY! I don't think you could have cut those out manually, or at least they would have been aa reeal pain. So yay for laser cutters! :-D (There IS no spoon...)

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

Thank you! I don't think I would have got through all 7 chairs if I had to cut them by hand. The wear and tear of using a craft blade all these years is really starting to show when I do a lot of hand cutting. And even if my hand was in tip-top shape you are right about cutting those utensils... never would have happened lol!

[@QueenCityHistory]

One thing my grandma taught me about place setting...fork and left have 4 letters...knife and spoon and right have 5 letters...easiest way to remember
