DIY Built in Bookcase for ANTS!

You guys, I totally forgot I had this footage from the dollhouse bookcase I built a couple of years ago! Now I need to get to work, making more tiny books and trinkets to fill the shelves. What do you think I should put in there?
I'll give you a bakery update soon, everything is a little chaotic right now but exciting things are afoot and I can't wait to share them all with you soon!

Were those real bird chirps, or a recording of them? I think the birds thought you were building it for them. They had a lot to say! I want one of these in my real-life living room.

No it’s a track I put in during the edit! 😅 I just figured it was nicer than some generic repetitive music, I love the sounds of a spring day❤️

I love it!

Thank you for including a part of real time gluing process. A lot of curated videos just edit out how wood glue works or make it seem like gluing is an instant thing. Even though it is interesting to view sometimes I just want to see someone hold it all together. Now i know to use some clips and painters tape.😊

Love it

I wonder can you make teeny tiny moulding scrapers?

[@dianereed6080]

To buy that piece, I bet it would have cost you $50 or more!

a tip for putting thin wood at a 90 degree angle is if you put a square ectangle block on both side it will stand perfectly

This is adorable, I love it! 👍🏻💯

Hi we need more updates please!

[@jasminegomezzavala2497]

Very nice tutorial ❤

[@brookebready]

What was the depth that you used?

[@emmathelovewitch]

i love these longer videos! the dollhouse is looking so good!

[@brookedarwin]

I appreciate you saying that, these longer ones are a bit more challenging for me!

[@emmathelovewitch]

@@brookedarwin i think you’re doing great! both the short videos and longer ones are good.

[@Miriandaniela31]

How did you make the top part you glued last?

[@brookedarwin]

Do you mean the moulding? Thats actually a thin strip from the hardware store. I didn’t make it, just cut it down to size.

[@cymrodave]

That turned out great, nice work😁

[@brookedarwin]

Thank you so much 💕

[@lemonlove8964]

I love the dollhouse series. how did you make the roof?

[@brookedarwin]

The roof came assembled but they sell these very shingles and you just glue them on individually from the bottom up. I painted mine but I hate it now so it’s on my list of things to re-do 😂

Love this bookcase for miniature or full scale makes me want to be 11.5 inches and curl up with a good book next to it 📚☕🫖

[@lmwinans]

I miss your dollhouse videos. Will you pick it back up?

[@brookedarwin]

I just renovated a thrifted dollhouse for my friend’s daughter! I filmed it. I will put it up soon and get back to mine too.

[@lmwinans]

Sorry if I bugged you. I just loved all your Ideas, and the new life you were bringing to it. I suppose its a new way to play with an old toy.

[@samsmom1491]

A gluing jig would help you enormously. I use mine constantly to make sure everything is squared up.

[@brookedarwin]

I'll look into it, thank you!

[@dianereed6080]

Great hints!
