DIY Miniature Halloween Diorama 🕯 Fairy Light Candles

[@evekankam6744]

That is awesome.The love letter is from her fiance ,who was lost at see,the sheet music is his favourite song he used to play for her.She would accompany him on the harp,she picks a rose from the garden for him and lights a candle in memory of him.

[@queencityminis]

Oh I love that. Each candles represents another year he's been gone.

[@FeliciaWilson-d9b]

I had to laugh at the missing shelf comment!! Those miniature pieces actually disintegrate into thin air!! Also completely agree with wasted effort when creating mini projects!! Great video

[@queencityminis]

So true! I did eventually find it across the room. It's in the stash box.

[@CajunCraft24]

This is gorgeous. Beautiful lighting ❤

[@queencityminis]

Thank you so much!

[@medievallassie]

Wonderful ideas! I have to say that the roses are the star of the show for this video...the candles are great but the details and shapes of the roses are truly amazing.

[@queencityminis]

Thank you so much!

[@panacheluxury4262]

Phantom of the Opera came to mind when I saw this. Just the picture of him playing an old dusty pipe organ with melted candle wax everywhere makes this haunting. Beautifully done, Shyra! ❤

[@queencityminis]

Love that! I haven't seen Phantom of the Opera so I didn't even know. Also, my "piano" is actually an organ.

[@panacheluxury4262]

@@queencityminis, You really must see it. I have seen the musical several times and each time I am blown away by the production. It is one of my favorite operas. I recommend watching the one with Sarah Brightman in it. There should be a video somewhere on KZbin of her performance. She was the very first Christine when the opera debuted. She just happened to be married to Andrew Lloyd Webber, the creator, at that time.

[@kathykeith2203]

Awesome job as usual!! I really loved how you made the candles!!! Who am I kidding I loved it all!!!! lol!!❤❤❤❤

[@queencityminis]

Thank you so much!!

[@lolasworldofminis]

Very phantom of the opera-esque! I think they an artist received a love letter from the ghost of his one true love. I really appreciate how practical your methods are. I’ve saved so many of your videos and rewatched. Ella just walked by and says hi

[@queencityminis]

Thank you! I'm happy to hear that! I like making minis accessible to people.

[@gaynortaylor3840]

It looks fabulous especially the wax candles.

[@queencityminis]

Thanks so much! I love how the wax makes them look so realistic.

[@claireful]

Can’t believe how good that rose looks! Amazing work as always

[@queencityminis]

Thank you so much 🌹

[@tracybowling1156]

The roses are beautiful! I can't believe how realistic they are!

[@queencityminis]

Thank you so much! I bet coffee filter paper would work well too! Wish I had thought of that.

[@DawnDavidson]

@@queencityminisThe little green “petals” at the underside of the roses are called the calyx. 😊 Gorgeous!

[@ElsbethHall]

You are so creative and we can all learn from you.

[@queencityminis]

That's so nice! Thank you

[@pegeen6634]

Creepy room where a lover was left behind, only to cause grief to the recipient. As she wept, time passed, candles melted. Making the room feel lonely & abandoned!😢 I love the addition of the harp! Great job❣️🕊️

[@queencityminis]

Ooh I like that! Very good

[@kelleykudu]

If you punch holes in aluminum foil, it will sharpen the punch tool.

[@Meluforever]

yes, and it works with scissors too :)

[@queencityminis]

Thank you!

[@TheParkAttendant]

Actually, your piano was an old fashioned reed organ. I enjoy antiques, and almost bought one. It's an easy mistake to make, I'm 70, so I have come across a lot of antiques. I love the way you added the candles. I don't know if you have ever seen the original, black and white silent motion picture of, The Phantom of the Opera. It reminded me of it, minus the candles. Great work.

[@queencityminis]

Hi! Yes it is an organ. No I haven't seen it. Maybe I should!

[@Foxiepawstotti]

Was it Lon Chaney who also played the Wolfman, who was in the film? I'm 66 and can remember the phantom's face from the film (not that either you or I am old enough to actually have been around for B&W movies lol!

[@TheParkAttendant]

@@Foxiepawstotti Lon Chaney played the role. It was his son Lon Chaney Jr. Who played the Wolfman.

[@pengle]

You didn't accidentally break the shelf and then lose it, covering it up with larger candles...that was the plan all along! (HeHe). And this great creation put me in mind of my favourite Hallowe'en movie - Don Knotts in ":The Ghost and Mr Chicken"!

[@queencityminis]

Happy accident! I found the shelf so now I can use it in a different project.

[@cecoya]

You are very creative and I enjoy listening to you as you work a piece too. You are funny as well. My story that I see: He went off to war, kept writing her letters to declare his love of her. The letter you left on the piano is the last one she got so she reread day after day. Waiting for him to come home she passed from a broken heart and the candles just burned out finally.

[@queencityminis]

Awww that's a great story 📜

[@sherrykloster7489]

It's all so cool! It puts me in mind of the Phantom of the Opera 11😃

[@queencityminis]

The piano is actually an organ, so that fits even better!

[@tinynina76]

It's a story of either unrequited love or a lost love. A woman, as the result of her lost love decided to take up music to express her sorrow at having lost someone. She plays her sorrowful music which people can hear as they walk by her old house, even long after the death of the woman.... The rose petals are from flowers he had given her, that she had handled and held against her broken heart until the petals fell off and the letter was from that one, and only love. 😭

[@queencityminis]

Oh my heart! Great story

[@nessiemonstercrafts]

Love all the details! Thanks for all the great tips and tricks too, you're a wealth of techniques

[@queencityminis]

Thank you so much :)

[@judygouchie9701]

It looks like one of those rooms ghost hunters enter and get "signs" from. Very creepy! Stellar jobs!🥰😨👻Love your nails!

[@queencityminis]

It does! I like that

[@jenpink4298]

I love this this is spooky and beautiful without any skulls or blood. The candles look wonderful! And that’s a great idea to fill them up with glue and then finish them off with the wax. I also really love your roses. Thanks for sharing all these great tips!

[@queencityminis]

Thanks for watching!

[@carrie4910]

Looks awesome!!!

[@queencityminis]

Thank you 😊

[@JaniceSharp-i1i]

What a fabulous idea! The candles are great and I love the roses! Grear job!

[@queencityminis]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@tinykeyholeminis]

I love that piano.. you added so much detail to it..its gorgeous 😍 and the candles were crafty. I couldn't imagine what happened here other than a vampire story like " Interview With A Vampire.".and how Lestate longed to be loved, Louie longed to be mortal and Claudia's resentment of spending eternity as a child. Or maybe tuberculosis found this household and left its remains behind☺️❤

[@paranormalnora]

Nice work

[@queencityminis]

Thanks!

[@lolasworldofminis]

I’ve used the soft side of a piece of corrugated cardboard to add shape to petals. It was a surprisingly successful option because of the variation in resistance on the cardboard

[@queencityminis]

That's so clever! Thanks for sharing

[@StefsMiniaturesandCrafts-ej3mz]

That looks great! Love the candles!

[@queencityminis]

Thanks so much!

Magnificent! Ok - old ladys hubby passed years ago. Her kids married/moved far away. But she stills finds solice in her music🎼! Many, many years ago a relative spent hours putting up outside Christmas lights.(the old style where if one goes out, they ALL go out) He was so p*ssed, he cut up every strand into tiny pieces. Ha True story & he was an electrician! So u gave sage advice to ck ur bulbs often thruout ur project🎄!

[@queencityminis]

Oh my 😆 That's quite the story. Thanks for sharing.

[@Laura-fj6kq]

Wow! This is great! Love the candles! I have planned a “curiosities” room but it’s after 3 other projects (and I’m slow) but after seeing this I may just have to move it up on the priority list!

[@queencityminis]

[@MishSpar]

I took a break from minis. This video has pulled me back in. I’m freaked out how both the roses and candles are things I have been wanting to in my project. Thank you.

[@queencityminis]

That's awesome! Have all the fun

[@Foxiepawstotti]

Gorgeous Shyra! Sometimes rubbing your punches with wax stops them doing that (I probably learned that from you in the first place, but, just in case..lol!) The calyx is the underneath leaves that were covering the bud before it bloomed. Lol, the biology shows!

[@queencityminis]

That's so clever! Thank you

[@kristinebaker5477]

It looks amazing 💕 I love watching your videos, they always give me inspiration. I’ve always been a fan of miniatures, but more interested than ever with the tiny kits that have been out this past year. I get most of them from Temu and also the MiniVerse collections too 😊

Thank you so much! Making minis is so relaxing. I'm glad you're having fun.

Just a thought, but punching holes in tinfoil might sharpen the hole punch.

I should've mentioned I want to be able to use this room box for other things so I couldn't do anything permanent.

Qué hermosura

[@queencityminis]

I appreciate that

[@nodarlingart]

Well, the piano gives total phantom of the opera vibes with all the candles . . . but maybe the foto is an important person of the past from the person that lives there and he thought she was dead, wich led him to live a life of solitude, plying the piano while keeping the harp, wich belonged to that lost person. And now the letter informs him that she is not dead, but very much alive, or held in an inbetween universe to make it a little bit more spooky . . . oohh ooh oh, I am on to something here . . . maybe she plays the harp from there with him, and the letter is from someone who could help break the curse . . .

[@queencityminis]

That's an incredible story! I love that

[@nodarlingart]

@@queencityminis Well, its an incredible miniature as allways 🙃🙂

[@agneschrismer9946]

That dripping wax is always creepy. You do such a great job with it. I love how you made the candles, you're so creative. That little room does leave a bit of a mystery. Great room.

[@FeliciaWilson-d9b]

Oh-would a small knitting needle be a substitute for a ball stylus?

[@queencityminis]

I don't know. You could try and let me know. I don't have any knitting needles.

I fully admit to trying to blow away the scrap pieces that came out when you were drilling the piano. 🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️😄😄

💯💯💯💯💯👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏

[@serendipitous_discoveries]

The love letter is from her fiancé telling her he is finally returning from the war to marry her. While she waits for him to arrive on the midnight train, she is so excited she can’t sleep, so she plays the music they used to dance to and burns candles late into the night

[@queencityminis]

That's so sweet! Thank you

[@tubegoob1]

Needs some cobwebs and spider eggs. 🕷🕸🥚🥚🥚

[@queencityminis]

I want to use the room box for many things, so I decided to keep the decor easily removable. That would look great though!

[@donnaworth2931]

Get yourself a Cricut Joy. You could cut yourself flower petals, leaves and whatever your little heart desires!

[@queencityminis]

I have a Cricut Maker. I lost the cord and haven't bothered to deal with that.

[@fancifuldevices]

Very old-world. My story is that nothing happened she’s just a goth at heart 😅

[@queencityminis]

Hahaha I love that

[@MyMinimadness]

Funny, We just watched the oldie, "The Ghost and Mr Chicken" where the organ plays in the abandon mansion. Don Knotts, Then I see yours, It looks really great with the harp. Really like the abandoned lover story evekankam6744 wrote. Add more to the room next yr! Bigger better..lol..

[@queencityminis]

That's a cool idea! I could keep adding to it so it becomes a mansion lol
