Dollhouse Furniture - Making a Miniature Wicker Bookcase For My Room Box!

[@connie6178]

I have always loved miniatures ever since my grandfather made a dollhouse for me over 50 years ago.

[@miniatureaddictionclub]

Oh wow, that would have been very special! I had a hand me down dollhouse and I was determined to put working lights in it and make it as realistic as possible 😄

[@dianajemison105]

It turned out great! I'm pretty sure I had friends, when I was a kid, in the 70s, who had the full-sized version in their house.😅 I love it! I'm looking forward to seeing what's next.😊

[@miniatureaddictionclub]

Thankyou 😊 my friends had one too in the 90s, I think theirs had little doors on the bottom though. I currently have one very similar to this in my studio holding all my art supplies. Maybe one day I'll make a few different versions. Glad you enjoyed it! 😁

[@VHFonFire]

This is brilliant, and exactly what I have been looking for! Excellent tutorial. I love miniatures just because tiny things are so fun and fascinating

[@miniatureaddictionclub]

Thank you 😊 I'm glad you enjoyed it. It was so much fun to make and one of my favorite peices in the roombox!

[@cecoya]

The only thing missing is the little beads for feet on the bottom. I do miniatures to be creative with my hands and stay busy. My love for minis comes from my Granny and Grandma they both did them and made shadow boxes with little clothespin dolls to go in them. Have a great day

[@StizelSwik]

oooo awesome Idea!!! yea! Thanks! I make dolls too but not from clothespins! sounds fun!

[@MichelleHarris-zf6wn]

This is so cute! Reminds me of the one my Grandma had when I was a child. I'm rewatching as I'm going to try a simplified version (smaller, no arch) for my dollhouse bathroom and I'm going to try using mesh fabric stiffened with glue for the rattan 😬🤞 great video and technique!

[@miniatureaddictionclub]

Thank you 😊 That sounds great! The mesh fabric is a good idea!

[@MichelleHarris-zf6wn]

​@@miniatureaddictionclubThe mesh fabric sounds like a good idea....but it doesn't quite look quite right 😂 still very flimsy even with glue. Thank you for replying, that made my day! 😁

[@glynislaidlaw4064]

Wow, love it, that little touch at the end was just the ticket! I could not imagine how you could make it any better until you added that detail!

[@miniatureaddictionclub]

Thanks so much! I was modeling it off of the one I have in my studio!

[@donnabursey1457]

It's lovely! Now I want to see it in place with some books and knickknacks.

[@miniatureaddictionclub]

Thank you! I'm working on the books and knicknacks now!

[@katbird5775]

What a wonderful tutorial! I love the idea of making the arches out of cardboard!! Thank you so much for taking the time and effort to share the making of this lovely piece!!🌹

[@miniatureaddictionclub]

You're welcome! I'm glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching!

[@arleenfascilla2622]

It's so nice ,u did great work.thankyou for sharing.👏👏👍💕✌️🙂🇨🇦✝️

[@miniatureaddictionclub]

Thank you! I'm so glad you enjoyed it! 😊

[@debbralehrman5957]

I really like the lattice on the sides and over the top. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🌹

[@miniatureaddictionclub]

Thank you! 😊

[@lolasworldofminis]

This is really beautiful. I’ll be referring to your video and making this for my Lundby house 60s/70s Hollywood Hills house. Love!!!

[@miniatureaddictionclub]

Thank you ☺ that's lovely to hear. So glad you enjoyed it. Have fun making yours!

[@emilyrln]

So adorable!! This would be really cute in white, too!

[@Kitcatmarie-k5t]

Very cute. I’ve always loved miniatures as a small child I had imaginary tiny playmates and I made tiny things for them. I was an only child and had all the time in the world for it then. ❤

[@carolwhittlesea7683]

Love your book case it's so grand. I love miniatures because its nice that you can make anything into some thing small. I am doing a box room .got a long way to go finishing it.

[@miniatureaddictionclub]

Thank you so much. Me too, you're only limited by your imagination! My room box looked so empty when I first started but it slowly filled up, I just took my time and made one thing at a time.

[@nicoled2831]

Wow! This is rad! I’m not sure it’s possible to put into words what I find so fascinating about miniatures, but it’s funny how it’s such a universally appealing thing to our reptile brains. I’ve been trying to work on a tiki bar room box for some time and definitely feeling inspired now ❤

[@miniatureaddictionclub]

Awesome! A mini Tiki bar sounds amazing! I'd love to see that! I know, it's a hard thing to explain to people who aren't into miniatures 😂

[@agm97ga]

Beautiful job. Such a great idea using the twine to look like wicker. Thanks for sharing!

[@Marietta30064]

OH....I love this and want it for my house!!! Well done.

[@francinemiranda8409]

One of the most unique and appealing tutorials I've seen lately! A style I always found attractive, so maybe a bit biased, but very well done! 👍🏻💖👍🏻

[@miniatureaddictionclub]

Wow, thank you! 😊 So glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching! 💖

[@MyMinimadness]

That roombox is so very cool..Great job on all the pieces!

[@miniatureaddictionclub]

Oh, thank you! I had a lot of fun making it. 🙂

[@kirstyroyles73]

Amazing, the mesh finished it off perfectly ❤

[@miniatureaddictionclub]

Thank you! 😊

[@unframedarts5378]

Thanks for this great tutorial. There's not much modern miniature furniture available here in NZ, so I think I will be making all mine too. 😮

[@pattiscraftcorner3530]

So pretty TFS

[@miniatureaddictionclub]

Thank you! 🤗

[@dgwdaffy]

[@jenpink4298]

[@Bellaluccaminis]

Very nice! I love the lattice works. Good job. I'm into mini sofas for my Blythe and Barbies 😅

[@miniatureaddictionclub]

Thank you! 😊 I have a sofa video too if you haven't already seen it. It's pretty basic but I'd love to make a leather one oneday!

[@Shari_A._]

It's beautiful!!!

[@miniatureaddictionclub]

[@DRN]

So pretty

[@miniatureaddictionclub]

Thank you ☺

[@drorahed8083]

Thank you..

[@StizelSwik]

I love this! I am going to make it for sure soon as I can get to someplace that sells that mesh and the cutters. It might work in the chateau I made. A bit smaller for the other houses I've made. I don't think it would work in Hagred's hut though... wrong timeline. lol it's only a 1/24th scale (or smaller) This is soo exciting! thank you for sharing your skills with us!

[@pamelabrown3489]

Wow this is great! Learnt a lot. Thanks for sharing XX

[@miniatureaddictionclub]

Glad it was helpful! Thank you for watching 😊

[@77LavenderXXX7]

Its so amazing and beautiful💜💜 !!! I hope the next video is simons coffee shop XXX💜💜💜

[@PVPRpieter]

wow!!

[@dgwdaffy]

What type of wood do you use?

[@miniatureaddictionclub]

I used Rimu wood which is native to New Zealand.

[@jenniferscrivner8808]

I love this tutorial, however, I wish you would give measurements

[@teresagarcia7789]

😍😍😍😍👏👏👏👏

[@StizelSwik]

what is the name of that cutter you're using @ 0:27?

[@miniatureaddictionclub]

Hi, they are called mitre cutters or mitre shears, very handy! You can adjust the angle they cut at, great for mini projects!

[@StizelSwik]

@@miniatureaddictionclub thanks! I got a set on order now.

[@deniselocke559]

Very nice! I think I would use cord in the desired color, eliminating the need for all that painting. Why paint the wood and board when all pieces will be completely covered in cord? Why not give even the basic beginning measurements in case someone wants to try making it - maybe they are a secret... anyway, thanks for sharing your demo.

[@bbjune6812]

Considering she already has to paint the lattice, it makes sense that she would paint the cord too. It’s much easier to use one color of paint on everything rather than trying to match the paint for the lattice to the color of the cord.

[@katbird5775]

Why complain so much about a free tutorial? Make it with colored cord if that suits you, but sometimes we minimakers use whatever is on hand. As for the measurements, compare it to a real life piece or one you can find photos of online, and just reduce the measurements, making it to fit in where you need to put it. Anything 7 feet tall by 3 feet wide, for example, would be 7" by 3" in 1:12 scale, for example. That's just a guesstimate on the piece in question, but you can draw it out on paper and cut out templates to make something fit where you want it. Tutorials are an awesome start, but your own imagination will go a long way if you give it a try.

[@clutterbot7279]

i'd strongly suggest investing in a better camera - the visual glitching of textures triggered an ocular migraine for me so i unfortunately can't continue with the video :s

[@miniatureaddictionclub]

Thank you, yes it annoys me too! I have a new camera but it films in such high quality it crashes my laptop when I'm editing, so I'm still working on resolving the issue. Hope you can tune back in in the future!
