Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us dollhouse newbies. It’s very much appreciated and the fact that I can use my cricut maker to make these is a bonus!

[@ItsyBitsyBuild]

It's an absolutely pleasure, especially when I receive lovely comments like yours. Thanks for supporting my work!

[@sherylcross5297]

Wow - I'm definitely buying myself one for Mothe😁r's Day !!!!!!

[@justylex]

Once you get used to how design space works, it makes doing miniature printables to easy and fun, and it does a great job at maintaining the small details like bar codes and words when your pictures are scaled down.

[@agjgminiature]

Thank you for sharing the cute miniature snacks and how to make them.1/6 scale is good!😍👍🏻

[@jodidonovan3191]

Thank you so much! The packing tape is so much better than mod podge or clear acrylic !

[@ItsyBitsyBuild]

I agree, and it's pretty flexible when you remove the paper from behind.

[@sherylcross5297]

Another great tutorial !!! How do I find you on design space? Yes, I finally got the maker 3😊

[@ItsyBitsyBuild]

Under the projects section, click search filter and click cricut community, then type Itsy Bitsy Build in the search bar.

[@azfeenixfire13]

As always your videos are awesome and incredibly helpful. My question is about your glue. That glue is not available in the US and I am looking for a product similar to that where I can use a fine tip applicator like you show in the video, the Alene’s I use now is just too thick. Is there another type of glue you would recommend that might be available in the US?

[@ItsyBitsyBuild]

Here's a US Amazon link for the Helmar's craft glue amzn.to/34TBvjn Here's a US Amazon link to the fine tipped glue bottle I use amzn.to/3sFDNKS Hopefully they work OK. Thanks for supporting my channel! :)

@@ItsyBitsyBuild Welcome:)

[@michelledevine69]

What a great video. I just subscribed. Question ❓ how do you search for package parts if you don't have a scanner to make one

[@ItsyBitsyBuild]

Hi Michelle, If you skip to 5:26 mins it shows how to use the camera on your phone and at 11:39 mins it shows how to create them from images on Google search. Hope that helps.

[@pdawgbetscasually1885]

does it cut all the labels or just the selected one, for example the MM package

[@ItsyBitsyBuild]

I'm not sure I understand the question sorry. The Cricut cuts all the packaging you see in this video.

[@haileywhisenant3772]

Is there anywhere I can download the file to make this. They look amazing

[@ItsyBitsyBuild]

No sorry, I'm not able to distribute them due to copyright but these instructions should help you make your own.

[@rinamcdonald2700]

I love your videos. I want to make a cereal box but for the life of me cannot make the template :(

[@ItsyBitsyBuild]

Thanks, Rina. Id suggest copying the cheezles box instructions. Deconstruct your cereal box and draw out the shape on a piece of paper so you know where all the extra tabs sit etc. Take measurements of all the areas including the tabs. Then recreate the box in design space using the video. I hope this helps!

[@DOTTYTIME]

Hello. Can this be done on a silhouette machine

[@ItsyBitsyBuild]

Hi! I've never personally used a silhouette machine but if it has a similar print and cut function to cricut I assume you could.

[@Amazing_80]

What type of glue are you using?

[@ItsyBitsyBuild]

Helmar's craft glue, there's a link in the description of the ☺

[@crafterscrate2294]

I don't have a cricut so I am going to cut with scissors,can you tell me any other way to do all the steps using the cricut application?

[@ItsyBitsyBuild]

Unfortunately you won't be able to proceed to the cut stage without having a machine. I'd recommend making these in a program like PowerPoint (they have shapes similar to design space) or maybe something like MS paint.

[@crafterscrate2294]

@@ItsyBitsyBuild ok,Thank you for your recommendation.....I will surely try ,I think using canva also it will work

[@crafterscrate2294]

I am gonna make Cornflakes

[@nayeliramirez6956]

Can it be a cricut 2 or does it have to be a cricut 3 ?

[@ItsyBitsyBuild]

You can most definitely make these with the explore air machines and both Maker machines, just not a joy. You'll also need a printer.

[@nayeliramirez6956]

why won’t it be possible with a joy?

[@ItsyBitsyBuild]

@@nayeliramirez6956 because you need the print then cut function which the joy doesn't have.

[@fourleafclover2377]

Can you please make a print out ? That way it’s easier for others

[@ItsyBitsyBuild]

I've made a decision to teach others how to do this themselves so they can make products that they know and love, while learning all the steps. I'm sorry this tutorial didn't meet your needs. There are plenty of printables available on pinterest if you're not looking for a tutorial.
