DIY Miniature - Leather Sectional Couch

You guys loved my fabric sectional tutorial so I decided to make a leather version with 5 upgrades! I hope you like it! I'm also using Final Cut Pro to edit for the first time so apologies if the clips or audio are a bit off.

YESS I adore how realistic they look in the thumbnail, I cannot wait!

[@GeneralRev8]

That is literally the only reason I am watching this video 😂

[@oliquin-roo3420]

Your level of detail amaze me everytime!

[@liamw3240]

Omg please make a store, I’d love to own some of your phenomenal work😁

[@chandellecarter5247]

I've been having a tough time lately, and making these miniatures along with your videos have really helped me lately. Thank you!

[@CrankyPantss]

I remember the fabric sofa. Those two leather ones look great, too. The detail you add to your miniatures is always so impressive. Thanks for sharing this with us, Cath.

[@marysakal2845]

I'm fascinated by everything you make, as I love miniatures. Love them.

[@maneeshathatipalli4250]

Once checkout #artanddiywithme

[@sandragutierrez3667]

Love both of the sectional sofas. Where you glued the two end that you cut off; I would have added that real thin cord you placed over the arm rests. Yes, you should sell the miniatures that you make. You make them in a very precise and professional way. They look amazing! 👍

[@TheSquaretoSpare]

Great idea!! Love it :)

[@arusticmeal6504]

It's only small, and it's just like a real couch. Your hand skills are so good. I enjoyed the good video.

[@TheSquaretoSpare]

Thank you! 😊

[@wafflefries174]

I would totally buy these! They look so cute. ❤

[@mutawakilsubayare4073]

I no

[@Roselynn001]

For me depends on how much for it's sold.

[@valleygrl1]

I love your voice. I love your detailed instructions. You make professional looking items from basic materials that anyone can duplicate. For someone like me who knows what I want but not how to get to the end result, you're a magician! Huge thanks.

[@aravindskaravindsk6386]

from mini guitar to ... doing great..👏🏻👏🏻 go head😍

[@jijodon4351]

👍🏻

[@evac.705]

Boy, this looks easy! No matter how many tools I have, I always find one more that I need to get after watching one of your video's.

[@ah-nononoo]

Ohh! I love that you include footage from your previous tutorial. That's very helpful.

[@КлараИгнатьева-ь3н]

Как же я рада учиться у такого мастера, как Вы! Покрашенный шнурок по краю скрывает ребро дивана, а магниты в боковушках - это вообще такая находка! Я всё время думала, как же составлять мебель, чтобы она не расходилась. А магнит_ прекрасный выход!

[@anaturalwoman]

I've set my reminder. I'm really looking forward to it

[@buildplay2302]

Wow...when you added those buttons to the black couch it really became realistic. Fun video!

[@sweetkity]

I know a lot of people would buy your minis. They're so well done and I'm sure people would understand. You could have an Etsy shop for however many of something that you've made even if it's one of a kind. I have a friend that does an amazing fun job with those melty beads but she's also a mom and works part-time. With that, she will sell 1 or 2 of her keychains a week maybe but she says it's still worth it. I say go for it.

[@browna3112255]

I love this and this is really even better especially since it is leather

[@suecox2308]

The magnets are a great upgrade and the project looks terrific.

[@carlawolf8260]

I was scrolling through my feed and saw your couches i had to see how . You are amazing crafter . They are so cute . I wish as a young girl I would have had one for my dolls . Love your work .

[@JohnJones-oy3md]

I scaled this up 12x and built a sectional for our living room. Came out great. Thanks!

[@peggyletourneau]

I've made more things from your tutorials than any other miniature artisan. Thank you! You're the best!

[@darnelleechols8556]

Your sectionals are adorable, so of course you should sell them. Thanks for the up to date tutorial.

[@ginenelafontaine8343]

You make the BEST tutorials...and I've watched 200 others on youtube.

[@waleedwali2607]

Plz never stop making videos 🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@browna3112255]

yes, I would love to have the leather couches, I am working on my first fabric couch, but I want to learn first how to do it on my own before I even think of trying the leather ones. Love the upgrades make so much sense. A cleaner style. Wish you would build a 1/12 house to go with those wonderful pieces. When you have time.

[@josephlowry4320]

The leather version of the couches are beautiful, I love watching your videos.

[@amandahill7540]

I absolutely love these couches, so realistic!

[@sarahlongshore2605]

These are so lovely and so realistic. And that mixer was amazing!! You do beautiful work.

[@niva8043]

Fantastic! They look so real. You should definitely start to produce and sell your creations.

[@S_H9260]

These look great! In fact, I would love to have a full size one just like the black couch.

[@dineemarie]

Yes, i think you should sell your sectionals! They are fabulous! I’m going to check your list of where to get such thin leather. My stiff from JoAnn’s is too thick. I love watching your videos. If I don’t watch the time my husband will never see me.

[@mutawakilsubayare4073]

Looks good and realistic

[@roxannepratt5187]
