DIY Popsicle Stick Furniture Tutorial

This video shows how to build cute little popsicle stick furniture pieces. This was one of my first videos and took me about one week from start to publish spending about a hour or two at night. I am so glad that people en joy this so much.
I saw that there were some videos that showed popsicle stick furniture pieces but these were usually of single pieces and I didn't like the designs that much. I though it would be so much easier for people if they could get it all in one place and decided to create a few pieces myself.
This video shows step-by-step how I made the miniature chair, bed, picnic table, bench, cot, bunk bed, cupboard and stove furniture pieces. I cut the popsicle sticks with a sheet metal scissors (see the links below) and glued them together with a hot glue gun. In some cases I also used PVA wood glue for extra strength.

I think you could sell them on Etsy... people charge a bomb for doll furniture...it kinda goes from 1/12th which is doll house size to 1/6th which is Barbie/Action man etc size, then there's the 1/4 size to the 50cm doll size which people buy clothes and furniture for and lastly, the huge 60cm to 70cm plus 1/3 dolls which practically need child sized beds etc. but which people buy a lot of accessories for...look online on Amazon and eBay etc and look for BJD's and you will be amazed! People pay serious money for doll furniture!

Hi next time can you tell us what you are doing so we can actuallu make it ? Not hating btw i love this

[@d-padqueen1103]

Tip: don't throw away your rounded offcuts. They make excellent "roof tiles".

[@CuriousCrafter]

Haha. Good tip. Yes I still want to make a house with roof tiles. They look so nice.

[@gizmogamingmore8881]

[@AnneAndersonFoxiepaws]

Yeah I found that one out the other day while watching Ara Bentley make a circular staircase and use the rounded bits to reinforce the stair risers! Good tip!

[@fx1c333]

Good tip get some fine sandpaper and glue to a lollipop stick the normal ones and one or two of the big ones and use them as sanding stick to create finer detail. When creating an X for a picnic table remember on the X's you need a small piece to fill into the horizontal of the table otherwise you have a gap. Detailing and a varnish adds to the effect on the picnic bench drill a hole for an umbrella also adds to the effect.

[@jcmottern]

Thank you so much for this video! I was trying to find something for me and my daughter to do, so we decided to make the picnic table. It didn't turn out as perfect as yours but we had a great time doing it.

[@CuriousCrafter]

Haha, nice! Don't worry, practice makes perfect. My daughters loved these. Glad I could help a bit.😀👍

[@anilgaurav]

these are done very nicely ... i would like to do it myself ... could you please provide measurements... Thanks in advance

[@CuriousCrafter]

Thank you so much. Sadly I won't be able to add the exact measurements since I don't have these with me anymore. This was one of my first videos so I didn't realize people will be asking for the measurements. Will try to add it to future videos. Hope you can use the ideas though to make similar ones. Have a great day Anil Guarav.

Excellent, refurbishing a doll house I found and wanted to make some furniture for it. One thing if it's possible to slow down the videos, I ask or say this only because my eyesight is not what it use to be. But going to try, thanks so much for sharing your wonderful creativity 😄

[@CuriousCrafter]

Yes sorry. I always think people will get bored so I speed things up. Guess I should slow down a bit. And zoom in more. Learning as I go. Thanks for the support.

[@bigdumb5483]

To slow down a video, you can click on the 3 dots on the upper right corner and go to playback speed. The ones above the 'normal' option are slower. Hope this helps :) (I'm watching this on mobile, so idk if it will work on a computer. Sorry haha)

[@AnneAndersonFoxiepaws]

These are great! I am going to make a couple of beds for a witches cottage (she is having an apprentice lol!)

[@jerrezlutz8867]

question Lots of great tips, but I can't seem to use hot glue very well, do you use a special wood hot glue? I use a good wood glue but that calls for clamping and takes a long time.

[@sweetiekitten3571]

Any tips on how decorate or stain them?

Ummmmm good Nice 😯😊

Where do you get the temp plate for the stove top

very nice cool

[@CuriousCrafter]

Thank you.

[@moriahruiz2490]

Would it work with coffee stirrers? My mom bought me a ton of coffee stirrers and then she bought me this beautiful doll house. Now I want to make furniture to make the house even more lovely.

[@CuriousCrafter]

Coffee stir stick are a not as sturdy so you would need to modify the builds slightly to make sure the strucure is strong enough. But the stir sticks are still great for using them as planks to cover areas. They cut easily and you can get them for free from coffee places. I'm still thinking of making a boat with the stir sticks because the bend easily.

[@smallsharktm3725]

Wow! This is AMAZING do u think u know how to make a basketball gole? I want to make on for my parakeet to do tricks and entertain herself! If u know how please make a tutorial thx!!!

[@user-jo3bc3is4y]

u did really good

[@flatspice]

do you think the bench and seating would be able to hold salt and pepper shakers?

[@CuriousCrafter]

Yes I think so. If you want to make these popsicle stick furniture pieces a bit stronger you can add pva wood glue to all connections along with the hot glue but don't mix the two. That would add a lot of strength to them. The hot glue bonds quickly and the pva wood glue bonds a bit stronger.

[@flatspice]

Curious Crafter okie dokie Thankyou so much!!!

[@annamanion5795]

What are those special scissor/shears called?

[@JChiibs]

What are you cutting the popsicle sticks with?

[@CuriousCrafter]

Hi. It's called sheet metal scissors, I think. Maybe overkill for popsicle sticks but I think it works better than normal scissors.

[@CuriousCrafter]

I added a link to Amazon for the sheet metal scissors I use in this video.

[@AnneAndersonFoxiepaws]

@@CuriousCrafter thanks for this! I think I am going to start with the cupboard because I can use that without scaling up to 1/6th size. The stove is brilliant too!

5:00 I feel like a cat's gonna jump out and tell me to hang in there and say other motivational stuff to me

Lol, I do need to find a way to make these videos more interesting. Working on it. Thanks for the support though! Side note, I do have a cat that always seems very interested in the stuff I make and jumps at it when I test it in the garden.

[@kavithakavi7028]

where can I buy this type of glue

[@CuriousCrafter]

Hi. You can buy both the wood glue and the hot glue sticks from craft shops, online stores like Amazon or even some general grocery stores. I have some links to Amazon in the description if you want to check it out. Buying through the Amazon links also support this channel.

[@pasdepi]

Do we HAVE to use hot glue? I'm only 10... I'm not allowed to use it...

[@CuriousCrafter]

I prefer to use hot glue because it sets so quickly. Maybe you can ask for a quick set glue at your local craft or hardware store? Alternatively, you can find an adult to supervise you or even join you so you can learn to use the hot glue gun safely.

[@pasdepi]

@@CuriousCrafter oh... Ur right...but that thing you cut with I bet only my mom and dad can use it... They will totally say no if ask them if I could use it myself 😂

[@CuriousCrafter]

@@pasdepi They are right. You can lose a finger with that cutter. Maybe they can give you a bit stronger scissors instead? Or even better, try side cutter pliers which also work well.

[@pasdepi]

@@CuriousCrafter ahhhh! I don't like to talk about those stuff, loosing a finger reminds me of blood! Ahhhh! So gross... No offense, but I do NOT like creepy stories... And blood is just all about it...😲 Sorry if I'm sending too much replies...

[@blondy1499218]

Why dont you have the measurements of all stuff you for this video it would be earlier to follow how to make them.

[@shaidashadia6402]

I really would like to have mearsements

[@CuriousCrafter]

I want to create pdf's of measurements and plans for each furniture piece which I could provide through Patreon or website. If there is enough interest I would seriously consider it.
