You are so welcome! Thank you! 😊

Congratulations on your first year on KZbin Laura.🎉 You have converted quite a few crafters to appreciating card board/ cereal boxes. Saving the planet one miniature at a time👏👏

[@Lauras-tinyview]

Thank you so much! I never thought of it that way before..but Yes I guess I am saving the planet one box or sheet of paper at a time. 😄 I always tell my husband I don’t plan to save cardboard or food packaging anymore.. and then he starts seeing cardboard stashed here and there. 😂

[@carrie4910]

This is freaking adorable!!! I neeeeeeed one!

[@Lauras-tinyview]

Thank you!

[@spacecatandthekittens1954]

I'm continually amazed at how you can make such realistic looking items out of cardboard!

[@Lauras-tinyview]

Thank you! I am flattered!☺️

​@Lauras-tinyview it really looks awesome. I recently made a small cabinet from cardstock. I figured out an awesome woodgrain (faux) technique =, sharpened colored pencils in terracotta, light brown, and burnt sienna..and "scratched " those down my strip of cardstock (when i first did this, i was making a miniature bench and I used foam board from dollar tree and wanted a wood finish, so I did cardstock and "wrapped" it ) ⁸ I also colored Lines of watercolor pencil in wood tones (only coloring in one line direction) then..went over all of it with watercolor markers and it dried and looked like a small strip of wood! I hope that can maybe help someone..you seem to have the woodlook down Good..but I fig I would mention it's possible with cardstock.

[@Lauras-tinyview]

@@izzyjones7108 Great tip! I’ve done something like that with chalk pastels.

[@DiannelLaird]

You make the best pieces.🤗🇨🇦

[@Lauras-tinyview]

Wow, thank you! That is so kind of you to say! 🥰

[@maryjanew20]

As usual I’m in awe of your work!

[@Lauras-tinyview]

Wow, thank you! 😊

[@southerncooker6475]

It's great! I like the size of it for the room! It adds to the coziness! Thanks for sharing!

[@Lauras-tinyview]

Glad you like it! ❤️

[@just-a-crayon4]

I like how you show the tricks on how to make things fit in the space you have. That little notch isn’t seen but makes a real difference! The top looks more finished 😊

[@Lauras-tinyview]

Thank you! I thought everyone might think that I messed it up with that notch. Thanks for letting me know that it was a helpful trick.

[@composing-chaos]

I love it when my husband brings me a little thing-a-ma-jig or do-dad he has found and thought I could use it to create something.

[@Lauras-tinyview]

Me too!! 🥰

[@juliederry3719]

Oh yes this certainly is a cutie, I love how it looks, you can’t tell that it’s made from cereal boxes, tfs x Julie 🇬🇧

[@Lauras-tinyview]

Thank you! I appreciate your kind words. Glad you enjoyed it!

[@kindhearted88]

Lovely video, thank you for sharing your skills with us ❤

[@Lauras-tinyview]

My pleasure!! 😊

[@gaynortaylor3840]

So cute, It really adds so much detail to a small corner and draws the eye around the room.

[@Lauras-tinyview]

Thank you! Glad you liked it! 🥰

[@papabear2515]

Love it! The decorative pieces DO really make the bookcase even more special! That IKEA level’s size is great - and free - even better! Two videos from you today … double fun and admiration! Thank you! ❤ Kathleen

[@Lauras-tinyview]

I thought I’d surprise everyone! 😂 Now I wish I knew what it was I bought at IKEA that had the level.

[@palomamiyaya]

It came out pretty cute, I love it because you are using materials that are very easy to find, thank you!

[@Lauras-tinyview]

Thank you! I love using simple inexpensive materials. That way if I mess up it’s ok. 👍🏼😄

[@releasingendorphins232]

Absolutely Adorable! I hope to make this vignette for my Reading Room. I Love Reading, and I Love Your Work.❤😂🎉❤😂🎉

[@Lauras-tinyview]

Thank you! 😊 Glad to hear I’ve inspired you! Have fun!

[@dreamfaeiry]

That’s wonderful, thank you for the DIY!! If you want to make books with pages, you can remove the cover of a book leaving the spine glued together, then cut off the pages along the inner blank margin where the words start. 📚💖

[@Lauras-tinyview]

That's a great idea! I have done it with magazines but never books. I need to pick up a book from goodwill and try that. You can get tons of books from one I’m sure. 👍🏼 Thank you!

[@Andrea-bdt]

I love your channel. Thank you for sharing with us. I was never able to tie my miniature vinetes together before I followed you here on KZbin and I've been able to create myself the missing pieces and make multiple fun rooms, boxes and gifts since then.

[@Lauras-tinyview]

Andrea you just made my day! I am so flattered and thrilled that my channel has been so useful to you. I can’t fully express how happy that makes me!! Thank you!! ❤️❤️

[@agneschrismer9946]

Really cute. It doesn't even look like it was made from a cereal box. Looks great with all the goodies. In so happy she's a reader.

[@Lauras-tinyview]

Thank you!! ☺️

[@corinnaakin2651]

Once again your work is so nice I want to get a doll house or a room big enough to build a house of different rooms ..love you're work

[@Lauras-tinyview]

Thank you! That sure sounds like a fun project!

[@cyndyscraftcorner8017]

Great timing and great video as I am making a book shop miniature and don't want to use all my good wood for the shelves. you made it look easy and will give me the courage to try it. THX esp for the book covers!

[@Lauras-tinyview]

That’s great!! Glad it was helpful! Just remember cereal box used to be a tree once. 😆

[@mytinyminis]

I love everything you do, I might even get to do a bookcase that will be a first haha 😂 ❤❤❤ thank you again..xx

[@Lauras-tinyview]

Oh Good! I’d love for you to give it a try. Thank you once again. If you don’t mind me asking what scale do you work in?

[@ophelian4646]

Wonderful! Speaking about IKEA, I got a bathroom shelf *exactly* like the one you're making - from IKEA!

[@Lauras-tinyview]

Oh that’s so cool! I need to go look it up.

[@ophelian4646]

@Lauras-tinyview I've had it for more than 10 years, so you might not find it at IKEA. It's really exactly th same. I wish I could post a photo..

[@Lauras-tinyview]

@@ophelian4646 If you'd like send it to my email. I'd love to see that. tinyview@yahoo dotcom

[@desiraemonique]

Looks amazing! I love how you did the books, so much faster then one at a time which is what I always see others doing! Everything for this build is coming together so nice! :)

[@Lauras-tinyview]

Oh thank you! Glad to hear you’re enjoying the cottage build. Oh I wanted to tell you I tried the air dry clay tip you gave me. I watered it down some. I’m not sure I’m doing it right but I like it.

[@nessiemonstercrafts]

Such a cute bookshelf, now you need dozens more books for it (because any avid reader knows you cannot have enough books!) lol. That mini level tho 😍 I could have done with something like that for what I'm working on right now. Luckily I think the floor in my gnome home is a bit wonky, things might accidentally even themselves out somehow lol

[@Lauras-tinyview]

Thanks Nessie! I agree about the books. And more books are coming before I’m done. 😆

[@AnneAndersonFoxiepaws]

I thought I already saw your video for this week? You did the barbers chair? Don't tell me I'm dreaming up extra episodes..only kidding I saw it and loved it and am going to watch this too. I need some shelves and this will be perfect❤

[@Lauras-tinyview]

😂😂 I think I confused everyone this week! 😆 Even my husband said he was a bit mixed up.

[@lindenjenesse5078]

I just love your work!! An open book on the bed or on the nightstand would be a cute touch. Do you watch Queen City Minis? If you don't already, I think you would enjoy her channel! Thanks for brightening my day!! 💕💖💕

[@Lauras-tinyview]

I’m so glad to have brightened your day!! ❤️ Yes Shyra is very talented! Thanks for the ideas! I am trying to create most of the furniture first. Then I’ll add all the fun details. 😄

[@brookebready]

The guidelines were a brilliant idea!!

[@Lauras-tinyview]

@@brookebready Thank you! Glad you found that helpful!

[@kathleenherris9397]

Adorable and you are so kind to share your templates. I am always amazed at your talent and creativity.

[@Lauras-tinyview]

Kathleen you are very welcome! 🤗 Thank you for your lovely compliment!

[@fancifuldevices]

[@Lauras-tinyview]

[@jonihenry8124]

This turned out so pretty!

[@Lauras-tinyview]

I’m so glad you like it! Thank you! 😊

[@craftynita6633]

what a sweet room- i love that bookcase :)

[@Lauras-tinyview]

Thank you very much!

[@izzyjones7108]

❤ looks fantastic. I put parchment down over my cutting mat when I'm gluing things because it's super easy to clean, and i use it as a makeshift pallet to mix small amounts of paint too.

[@Lauras-tinyview]

Thanks! I like to try and keep my cutting mats and desk clean too. I’ve never tried using my paper as a paint palette Great tip!

[@karakreations1103]

Adorable little shelves❤, one would never guess it was made from a cereal box😬 I think I missed some videos of the room 🤔 Need to check now 😅

[@Lauras-tinyview]

Thanks! I’m glad you liked it! 😁

[@miahenriksson448]

Hi. I have a question…. How do you use the pastellclolur… do you use wather? 😊

[@Lauras-tinyview]

I usually use them dry. Occasionally I’ll use water, but mainly dry. 🤗
