Dollar Tree dollhouse furniture makeover

Making Dollar Tree dollhouse dining set to the correct size for 1:12 scale.

[@ETHANNAH1902]

I feel like I watched a “ Mr Rodgers” video . I loved every minute of it .

[@LoyDollhouse]

I love Mr. Rodgers. Thank you

[@SouthernBelleReviews]

Dollar Tree sold furniture when I was a child and then they did away with it for years and I was so glad when they brought it back again a few years again in my area when they expanded. I was overjoyed. I have some that my mother bought that is white with pink flowers from Dollar Tree from when I was a child. I made some last year myself that I painted to look just like it. I would like to buy some from there again to paint to look like the original set for nostalgia's sake.

[@LoyDollhouse]

One can find wonderful items there.

[@jayterry9750]

Beautiful..I pass those Wood Markers all the time but now I'll be hunting for them. Thanks for explaining the Micro/Hot Glue trick..I'll use it to take the fronts off the dressers. Great Video, Thanks

[@LoyDollhouse]

I am soooo happy to know that my little video can help. :)

[@jayterry9750]

Yes, I like all your videos...simple, easy to follow, very well made

[@ceewood3358]

I see the markers in catalogs all the time...

[@oliviapiatt5518]

This is the cutest, purest video I’ve seen on KZbin.

[@LoyDollhouse]

Thank you Olivia Platt

[@debbiedusterhoft2870]

You did a great job. A person can sure learn from you.

[@LoyDollhouse]

Thank you Debbie. Do love you get feedback.

[@katphyre]

The tip about microwaving the glue is brilliant.

[@LoyDollhouse]

Glad to read that you think so.

[@DCogsdil]

Thank you so much for sharing. An awesome tip about the microwave. I never thought of that! I used to brainstorm with my sister but she passed away last year. So I adopt a lot of people cause my family tree is turning into a twig. God Bless, debs from Texas

[@LoyDollhouse]

I too lost a sister. Hope you have great memories.

[@DCogsdil]

Loy Dollhouse yes I sure do. Hope you do to as well.

I love reading this.

[@sharonolsen6579]

Really cute and I love that you paid attention to scale ... tip: a hair dryer will also soften glue.. : )

[@LoyDollhouse]

Great tip, thank you!

[@chrissy24-7]

Very cool idea and execution. My Aunt had a set like this, so cute!

[@LoyDollhouse]

Thank you! This furniture is quite popular.

[@cindywilson6520]

Excellent! I must admit I had my doubts at first but you really truly pulled it off! You really captured the look you were going for... I'm on my way to the dollar store!

[@LoyDollhouse]

Glad you liked it!!

[@churchlady31]

So cute

[@LoyDollhouse]

Thank you!

[@craftynita6633]

i am so glad i found your video- i just bought a table and some legs to make it taller , so will heat it to remove the shorter ones!

[@jenniemcclish3559]

adorable. I make my own doll houses and furnature and I love them.

[@LoyDollhouse]

It is indeed a wonderful craft.

[@GLITZYONE]

Truly adorable!!! Great job!

[@LoyDollhouse]

Awe! thank you!

[@evelyntheriault3698]

Thank you for the very clear instructions for a complete beginner like myself. I"m starting my first kit bash to recreate a telephone bench my mother had when I was growing up in the 1950s.

[@LoyDollhouse]

Glad it was helpful!

[@notmygovernmentname3942]

I’m happy to make the 1st comment and tell you what an amazing job you did! I never knew there were so many tricks to remaking dollhouse furniture. You’re the best! Thanks for sharing. 💫

[@LoyDollhouse]

Happy that you took the time to write the comment. Thank you!

[@miniaturescookingandmore6583]

Wow, you have great ideas and I love your work, I saw the detail you put into your house with the chandellier making and all. I love all that and you do a great job!

[@LoyDollhouse]

Thank you so much! I am glad that you like the videos.

[@Domilyons]

This was a nice video and the use of the furniture markers was soooo smart!

[@LoyDollhouse]

Thanks, always looking for the economical way.

[@francinemiranda8409]

A remarkable transformation! My only suggestion is that you had used your Dremel tool to make those chair backs smaller as well as the seats--the proportions of these furniture pieces are so off! But what you did inspired me to redo some of my own pieces. Thanks! 👍

[@LoyDollhouse]

Thank you Francine for your comment. Good suggestions to consider. I would love to see how your turn out.

[@johnettehaines6291]

I so love using those wood stain markers

[@kirbyresful]

Lots of hints and tips. Thankyou

[@LoyDollhouse]

And thank you for taking the time to comment.

[@miniaturescookingandmore6583]

Love the matching of colors.

[@LoyDollhouse]

Me too!

[@lorettatompkins6208]

I love all your work. I will be using a lot of them with my houses. I have 1 done and 5 more to build.

[@LoyDollhouse]

One is never enough. Thank you for your comment.

[@kimturnbull7717]

It looks great I'm going to do this with mine thanks for sharing

[@LoyDollhouse]

Hope you enjoy

[@cindyceja1860]

❤️❤️❤️ love your video, I bought the same table and chairs and didn't even think to change the legs of the table but I painted them black

[@LoyDollhouse]

I am sure it looks beautiful.

[@thisgirlrocks6469]

Off to the Dollar Tree I go 😁😎

[@LoyDollhouse]

Have fun shopping.

[@GLITZYONE]

Great job!!!!!!!

[@LoyDollhouse]

Glad to read.

[@CraftyMoore]

they look great now!

[@sandracrider1079]

I have furniture pieces from the Dollar Store to refurbish also, and your finished set was so pretty I have been re-inspired to work on them! Don't you just LOVE those stain markers? ...: D ...

[@LoyDollhouse]

You cannot go wrong buying those dollar tree pieces of furniture and yes, love those markers.

[@cosplaymemories1487]

Thankful for the idea information with the wood staining and hot glue softening! I shall keep that in mind! :)

[@LoyDollhouse]

You are so welcome!

[@KimberlyCreates]

Great tips!

[@LoyDollhouse]

[@miniaturescookingandmore6583]

And it is so funny, I have the gray/white roll of wall paper that you have too, lol.

[@LoyDollhouse]

From the dollar store. Aren't they amazing?

[@miniaturescookingandmore6583]

@@LoyDollhouse Yes, I love when I can get so much of something for just $1

[@allycatwild]

oh my gosh!! So nice! I want to do this now

[@LoyDollhouse]

Yesssss. Do it! miniaturists are the best and happy people.

[@teacheramy7057]

Amazing. I learned so much from you.

[@LoyDollhouse]

Thank you Amy Riva, I love to hear that.

[@cynthiajuarez5855]

He did a good job on that furniture from Dollar tree cuz it's all on painted and you could do it like that you could do it shabby chic and the legs look like they came with the table already even though you had to put new legs on it cuz it was so short and funny looking but it's cute it's beautiful and your tea set does match it really pretty it's cute now you just need like us Hispanic people like a beautiful crochet little tiny tablecloth on it just like a little runner or something just in the middle I have a lot of those they're tiny like for doll houses but that's cute

[@LoyDollhouse]

You just gave me an idea for the table cloth....Thanks.

[@7spiritualcompass706]

Love it. ♥️👍

[@LoyDollhouse]

So glad!

You bet

[@marshawargo7238]

WOW! I Just found your channel. I Luv it!

[@LoyDollhouse]

Welcome to our little world Marsha Wargo. I hope that you accompany us as we complete this project. Labor of love.

[@releasingendorphins232]

Great instructions and ideas. I hope you are still making videos.

[@LoyDollhouse]

We shall resume soon.

[@becabiffle2334]

if you have the dremel, you can also use a sanding cylinder to "thin" the back of the chair also, just be careful not to go so far that you damage the spindels.. also sometimes these chairs are just put together lopsided. you can soak them in water and take them apart and reassemble them. the dremel will sand away clumps of glue and toothpicks will make new spindles if they get broken. fill in uncentered spindle drill holes with wood putty let dry and start again. there is a lot of potential in those little chairs.

[@LoyDollhouse]

Thank you for the tips.

[@playdollshowtime6756]

Very good in formation❤️

[@LoyDollhouse]

I am glad you find it informational.

[@shannondoe2800]

Didn't know the microwave trick! thank you.

[@LoyDollhouse]

But you must be very careful. We do not want anyone getting burns.

[@DopamineDecor]

So clever!!

[@LoyDollhouse]

Thank you!

[@chrisM-ck9fs]

Great job

[@LoyDollhouse]

Many thanks

[@suzannecuerrier279]

Well done!

[@LoyDollhouse]

Thank you!

[@JustGG1956]

I bought these pieces for a friend's grandchild. I had no idea that was supposed to be a table you eat at. I thought it was a coffee table!

[@LoyDollhouse]

Yes, it is probably better as a coffee table but then it does not go with the chairs.

[@lorettatompkins6208]

I love this are you going to do other pieces with the dollar tree furniture?

[@LoyDollhouse]

I am actually, more so now that i read of your interest.

[@carolbryant5992]

Amazing

[@LoyDollhouse]

Carol Bryant you are too kind

[@barbaraness4507]

I never would have thought of using the microwave to remove the legs. I’ve seen where people used acetone nail polish remover.

[@LoyDollhouse]

It is tricky as you must act so quick before the glue hardens again.

[@rosaandujo7956]

Herrrmoso trabajo!!!

[@LoyDollhouse]

Muchas gracias

[@playdollshowtime6756]

Where is your doll house tour!!! Did you finish?

[@LoyDollhouse]

Still a work in progress.

[@pureblood_straight_pride1853]

I have the same microwave LOL.

[@LoyDollhouse]

My good'ol microwave oven.

[@pureblood_straight_pride1853]

Loy Dollhouse an old one but never had any problems with it at all 😁

[@LoyDollhouse]

@@pureblood_straight_pride1853 Same here, and so I keep it.

[@thesselmatthew-watkins1233]

Great job but the sound of the furniture dragging across the countertop was annoying . Maybe you could lay a cloth or cardboard on top of the counter for future projects. Love the outcome though .

[@LoyDollhouse]

I noticed it only after it was already uploaded. I will keep in mind for next video.

[@thesselmatthew-watkins1233]

@@LoyDollhouse awwww it's ok.....just wanted to let you know because I believed that you didn't realise. We appreciate you & hope to see much more of your work . You are very talented.

[@DCogsdil]

QUESTION: Anyone ever try to buy online from Dollar Tree? It is so confusing. It looks like you have to buy only in bulk. For one item 12 things for $12. In most cases I don't want a dozen of one item. Any input would be greatly appreciated. thanks, debs from Texas

[@LoyDollhouse]

I have never tried it. I am lucky to have a sore very close to me.

It's Safer to use a heat gun...I trashed a perfectly good microwave trying this! the SMELL could never be washed out and the wood nearly caught fire...

[@LoyDollhouse]

God tip about the heat gun.

[@happyhooker71]

That was awesome! Love how you painted it too.

Maky Kring, I appreciate your comment.
