DIY Dollhouse Arm Chair made from an OLD SOCK!! (Prompt #9)

[@LaughingInTiny]

It's FANTASTIC how you encourage upcycling random stuff. In my eyes that should be the core of crafting. If more people looked to use what they already have creatively we'd be better people I think 😁

[@somethinginnocuousindahouse]

those chairs look amazing, even more so that they were just some random odd socks before

[@lindsey.13]

i love moriah! my favorite youtubers in one video. hard to believe her tie dye video was 2 years ago

[@marjanwolfs6273]

The chairs are looking really great. When you use acryl to paint fabric, you let it dry, and after that use some vinegar to wet it and then iron the fabric as hot as possible. Depends of the fabric. After it is dry again, you can wash it. Don't know if it works for clothes and put them in the washmachine (it is not good English, I know) but for something you don't wash very often and by hand, it works.

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

Thanks for the tips Marjan! I will have to remember to try that!

[@lindastowars7346]

BOTH CHAIRS TURNED OUT GREAT, I LIKED THE TIE DYE BEST

[@christineingram55]

They are both beautiful.The painted leaves and flowers certainly finished the tie dye chair off beautifully ,you could just imagine sitting in a garden under a tree reading fairy tales to children it does look quite Magical 😀

[@foxhousecreations4869]

I really enjoyed both videos. And as always you do a great job on instructions. Thanks Ara.

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

Thank you!

[@cafffy]

I loved seeing that you also love watching Moriah Elizabeth and NerdECrafter (and I literally just watched their new videos before yours!) And as always your miniature turned out incredible!! I’m always in awe of your creativity and skill 🥰

[@darlenehathorn]

New chair looks like could be a good rocking chair.

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

Possibly!!

[@dolfinmagikpro]

Wonderfully done my friend! Glad to see you in a cheerful mood! Love the idea of the Collaboration Prompts! This one may evade my grasp! We'll see! Have a better day ... as I always say!

Great sock chair I have started watching Dark Raven Designs. Love you both. Right on🤗🤗🤗

Awesome! Thank you!

[@sherry2836]

You have definitely "upped" your socks! Your flower artwork was the beautiful finish to this comfy chair. And love the Darth Vader chair!

Thanks so much Robin!

Pun of the video: Socks that were on their last leg! That made me smirk. But anyway, that was awesome and I loved the second chair but both are genius!

As I notice you use old socks, I have lots of old socks and dunno what to do until I saw this, that give me a great idea for mini rocky chair, chairs, love seat, and sofa with bed, and patio chairs, love seat, and sofa. Thank for tips.

Love it. Wouldn’t have thought to use a sock like that.

I watched a doc about john wayne, when he wasn't making movies, he was a family man & lived mostly on his big ocean cruiser called 'the wild goose' of which he was captain. He loved paintings of old ships & sea battles on his exquisite boat. Worth a tour.

I love that she just goes for it and sees what comes out. It's less stressful than freaking over everything. In the end, she makes it look like hours of fun and I'm inspired to try building my own chateau mini from scratch. I'll learn a lot from her, so not reinventing the wheel.

[@RobbinMcCrumb]

Such a fantastic video on so many levels. Thank you so much for sharing your techniques and giving us all so much inspiration!!!

I am so glad you enjoyed the video!! Thank you💖

[@audrey5941]

I got a good laugh at you flopping the old socks on the table so unceremoniously! I can hardly believe the final product of such raw materials. Thank you for making Ellie’s chair. It made my heart sing. ❤️ Also thank you for showing us your mistakes. It’s encouraging to see that mistakes happen and how to navigate around them.

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

Lol thank you! I make a lot of mistakes so I make sure to include them when I think they will be helpful to see! ;)

Great piece; would love to see you continue with recycling cardboard instead of foam board. But love using old socks, esp ones that are on their 'last leg' :) :)

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

Thank you I am glad you liked it!💖 I meant to mention in the video... I used foam board because that's what I did in the original pattern but you could def still do the same thing with cardboard. I have another video for the cardboard house coming up soon and I am super excited about it!

This makes me want to design the house of my dreams in miniature, b/c that is the only way I'll ever get it, but it'd be so much fun and creativity for years to come. I'd like a French chateau with at least 3 generations of mods, ending in the early 20th century.
