Cricut Maker Miniature Ottoman and Side Table

[@nathalieperez1447]

You are so talented! I enjoyed watching the entire video! Which I rarely ever watch entire videos with out skipping through them!!

[@andreamonk3464]

Heather you are the best presenter on KZbin. Your soothing voice, incredible knowledge and passion for medieval and miniature and your unbelievable skills in putting it all together simply blow me away. You have inspired me to experiment with fi ding my own style and voice through creativity and through miniatures. Thank you 😊 so very much

[@Thicketworks]

Wow, thank you! What a lovely thing to say, Andrea. May miniatures bring you the joy and satisfaction that they have given to me, my friend.

[@andreamonk3464]

@@Thicketworks How delightful that you have taken the time to reply, Heather. That is so lovely. I am making miniature pianos to sell during lockdown, as that is my profession (piano teacher) and wanted to make miniatures to go with them...and your videos inspire me SO much. I would love to subscribe to your business but a cricket maker is not for me. Do you have any other business sidelines I can support? At present I am making a medieval castle for 12 inch dolls and doing all my own dress making and miniature design. My miniatures are not to the incredible detail that yours are, but they give me massive joy to make. Keep up your INCREDIBLE work and please let me know if there are any other business sidelines of yours I can support. Best wishes. Andrea :)

[@andreamonk3464]

PS I would love to be seated next to you at a dinner party! I would find your company more intoxicating than wine!

[@recreepy]

Your attention to detail and craftsmanship is truly extraordinary

[@Thicketworks]

Well, that's a lovely thing to say - thank you. It's been a long messy road, my friend! So much to learn, so little time. 😘

[@DanielleGhost]

I hope hearing your lovely voice means that you're feeling better!

[@Thicketworks]

Rarin' to go, woman - watch out world! 😜 (thank you for being so sweet, Danielle!) xoxo

[@wildwoodskimberlynewworldd5282]

Totally awesome Heather I want a life size one it's beautiful😘😘😘

[@Foxiepawstotti]

Back again to rewatch your home made stain. I love this look and as I have some unfinished doll house furniture, it's as good a time as any to give it a whirl. I also wanted to wish you a happy, healthy New Year and hope your Christmas wasn't as dismal as ours here in London. Never mind, I still managed to pig out on Christmas food so I hope you enjoyed yours too.

[@Foxiepawstotti]

I got a nail drill because it's smaller and less clumsy than my old Dremel. I just need to get my hands on the needle tip applicator. Beautiful set as ever Heather!

[@Thicketworks]

I'm with you, girl: the nail drill is my BFF! The Needle Applicator runs a VERY close second. Yep. xoxo

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

I watched this with the sounds of children in the background so I will probably need to watch it again later lol!! We are all getting a little stir crazy over here🥴 As always your pieces look beautiful and look as though they had been loved and used for hundreds of years before they were abandoned!! Thank you so much for sharing with us!💖

[@Thicketworks]

Ha ha! I hope you all had a great Spring Break, Ara...and that you find some 'me' time soon, girl! Everything you share with us is a treat - and your hard work is much appreciated. 💗

wow... another good series of furniture... love your coffee stain!! and how you age the pieces.. they just look so realistic!! Well done.

[@Thicketworks]

Thanks so much! 😊 I have a lot to learn, but it feels so good to be making progress, my friend. xoxo

[@screamingmimi90]

that looks amazing! Thank you for showing us how!❤️

[@heidib7080]

Gorgeous! 🖤

[@dolfinmagikpro]

Amazing work as always! Your upholstering technique was wonderfully done! My mattresses turn out about the same! Thank goodness for backing boards! 😁 Glad you got your voice back! Have a better day!

[@Thicketworks]

Ha! Well, Sean I'm sure your mattress bears up under scrutiny much more favorably than my feeble tufting...but it was fun to try! Backing Boards Forever! xoxo

[@shampton1515]

Another great video! Love the upholstery fabric color and pattern. I’ve never thought of using super glue as a varnish, so thank you for that great tip. I can’t wait to see the entire project put together!

[@Thicketworks]

Will this project EVER be complete, my friend? One begins to suspect not. Ah, well - such are the vagaries of a life misspent in miniature madness. At least we're getting closer to being able to have some proper photo shoots! Thank you for always being so kind. xoxo

[@nancyyoscreative]

Love the tufted seat. Great job. Love your videos

[@Thicketworks]

Hi Nancy! Yay! Thank you, darlin'...I love making 'em, and it means the world to me that you enjoy them. xoxo

Hola, querida Cristina: fue muy divertido de crear. ¡Gracias por gustarles! besos y abrazos

[@daphnet39]

Gorgeous! Love the tufting template and results!

[@Thicketworks]

In the RIGHT hands, the tufting template should potentially be quite useful, girl. In the right hands...😅

[@dastinchen]

So beautiful! I was delighted to hear your voice again today and thank you very much for these wonderful inspirations. To fall in love! ❤👍 Hugs vom Tinchen

[@Thicketworks]

Oh, thank you, Dear Tinchen! It feels good to be verbal again! Hugs! xoxo

[@karenyoung9866]

Thank you Heather for taking miniaturists to a whole new level. Love each and every one of your creations. As soon as I get my Cricuit I am making the plunge!

[@Thicketworks]

Karen - girl, you totally floor me - every time I make these little things I feel as though I need to learn from REAL miniaturists so that I can be less clumsy. Bless you for being so very kind. Get that Cricut! We NEED you! 💗

[@AnythingDolls]

What a beautiful ensemble! This was entertaining to watch your process. thanks for sharing 😀🌸

[@Thicketworks]

I can totally see how it would be amusing to watch me struggling with the tufting, my friend! 😅 (Seriously: thank you for being so kind) xoxo

[@cindyfinn4845]

I love both that fabric is beautiful thank you for tufting the ottoman xoxo

[@Thicketworks]

It would have been so satisfying to get the fabric pattern to line up with my feeble attempt at tufting - maybe next time, Cindy! This was fun! xoxo

[@cindyfinn4845]

@@Thicketworks That iss how I feel about projects sitting in a corner waiting for me too execute that desired outcome and I will eventually but to me the tufting turned out lovely for a first time and that makes even more special what if we never did try..xoxo

[@loke-art7383]

Your work is just brilliant and enjoy listening to your voice❤

[@Witchat1and70]

As always, a beautiful project, my love. Even though I’m not a miniaturist, I learn SO much from your videos. These techniques are totally scaleable... I can’t wait to try your coffee stain and wood finishing tips on my projects. Thank you as always for sharing your talent. See you in the studio for more mayhem making. Sue x

[@Thicketworks]

Thank you, my lovely. It is such fun to hear that you are able to expand these miniscule ideas into Life Sized applications! See you in the Sanctuary, girl! 💗

Sweet Kerry! Thank you for this - it means more than I can say, girl. Hugs! xoxo

[@rachaelkasper5445]

I love this so much! You make everything look so easy and you make acceptance of imperfections so easy, as well!

[@Thicketworks]

It makes me happy to hear that it looks easy - because it IS! (All except the tufting, of course)😂 If we can't accept (and perhaps even celebrate) imperfections then what's the point, darlin'? I'll never be perfect, but I'm perfectly okay with that! Hugs! xoxo

[@mariaantoniou7090]

Hi Rosie! Ooohhh...sounds like I need to look into Phillippa Gregory, girl - my kind of atmosphere, girl. Hugs! xoxo

[@patriciahanna4123]

Can't decide silhouette or a cricut. Amazing chipboard looks like wood The glue and baking soda... great idea

[@Thicketworks]

The Maker is so much more powerful, super versatile and yes, more expensive. Worth it. Faux wood is my absolute favorite substance, Patricia! xoxo

Will there ever be a FINAL scene, my lovely? One wonders...😜 Every time I consider 'wrapping it up', new and fascinating additions to the Boudoir present themselves and demand my attention! Perhaps someday, we'll put a fork in the darn thing and call it DONE! xoxo

[@coleenknickelbein8063]

You are missed Heather! Hoping you and yours are doing ok.

[@chrissy24-7]

It's beautiful - if we don't have a electric cutter, we could trace them onto foam board, right?

[@Thicketworks]

Hi Chrissy! Well, in theory you CAN print out the jpegs and use them as cutting guides, but it would be a lot of work, girl. However, where there's a will, there's a way. If you are seriously considering trying to cut by hand, I suggest you stop by the Thicketworks Website and download some of the free svg's to experiment with first. xoxo

[@nicoleharris2641]

I don't know if anyone has already asked , but where did you get the applicator bottle?

[@Thicketworks]

Hi Nicole - the applicator bottle was purchased via Amazon. All the links to the items used are listed in the description area, my friend! xoxo

[@robbiecrafter]

Another great tutorial! Some crafters use baking soda to quickly harden superglue. Is that what the Bondo technique achieves, or are they for different objectives?

[@Thicketworks]

Hi Rob! Well, the Pauper's Bondo serves a couple of purposes - yes, to cure the CA glue instantly with the Baking Soda, but also to act as a filler to smooth out imperfections in the surface. I love that stuff! xoxo

[@lorrainecooper3489]

Hi Heather, how do you ‘water down’ your superglue please? Do you use isapropanol?

[@darlingdivadurelle]

Did you say you use watered down super glue... ? What proportions ? And also.... this is enchanting and awesome just beautiful!

[@Thicketworks]

Water THIN superglue! The kind that looks and acts like water, my friend. xoxo

[@takarabarnes9168]

Will these work with the Circut mini?

[@cindywells626]

So I purchased the Starbond Thin Glue and the applicator bottle with metal tip, but it leaks at the tip. It came with a set of two and they both leak. Did you find this an issue? Am I doing something wrong or is it the wrong bottle, but I used your link? Suggestion?

[@Thicketworks]

Uh oh! When you say it leaks at the tip, can you clarify, Cindy? If the bottle is just sitting upright, does it leak from the open end of the metal tube? Or, does it leak around the collar of the top? If you purchased via my link, you're using the exact same bottle that I do. Let's see if we can get to the bottom of this, my friend. If you can include a picture and attach it to an email, that will help us figure it out. You can always reach me via email here: [e-mail]

[@spg35fem]

Oh my gosh!! These pieces are truly wonderful! I love the way they turned out Heather 💕💕 your creativity knows no bounds!
