I recreated my best friends cabin toilet as a teabag dispenser

[@Joyce-bv2tg]

OK, I proclaim this is the cutest outie I've ever seen Xander 😍

[@craftsbyxander]

I have to agree 😄🥰

[@lori416]

Being a creative GENIUS must be exhausting. lol If I had to pick a favorite it would be the clever way the lantern works with the bird feeder. Brilliant. Lucky friend!

[@cherwilkes4564]

Your attention to details is brilliant

[@tinykeyholeminis]

Omgosh, Xander what a master piece👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽😍. That has got to be the coziest outhouse I've ever seen!! And I must say the finish on the bathroom walls is so gorgeous. How brilliant is that bird feeder power switch!! Amaazing!!! I love the grass on the roof. And how fun was it creating the landscaping...it's so addicting, it's hard to know when to stop..😂 the Pet Sematary and Salems Lot Books🤭 Amazing, My Friend, I think I would give, not just one but 2 limbs to live there in her cabin.🥰❤️

[@Simplycharlotte-s]

That attention to detail and an another joyful miniature. I have too many questions in my head about the things you use! Inga lives in a beautiful place 🏔️ thank you for sharing 😀

[@craftsbyxander]

@Simplycharlotte-s Thank you Charlotte 🥰 I used a lot of tools in this video. Please feel free to ask me anything you would like to to 🥰

[@Simplycharlotte-s]

@@craftsbyxanderthank you. Where did you purchase the light, the medium you used for the bubbles and was the ivy a punch or Cricut? I’ve had an air brush for a while I’m too scared to use it so it was good to see you mix the paint. One more ? Are the door handles card-stock and cut on Cricut. I’ve just finished my second project, I have made a short video on You Tube… it’s not great but it a record if we ever parted ways🙂

[@Simplycharlotte-s]

@@craftsbyxander hi Xander, can I ask where you sourced the light and medium for the bubbles and are the ivy leaves a punch or cut on a Cricut. Have a lovely weekend.

[@craftsbyxander]

Hey Charlotte Here is the link to the lights. I ordered them on ebay. They come from China pretty quickly. I've made my second order already because they are just so cool. www.ebay.co.uk/itm/305229350629?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=boHiRHp4R1e&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=Ne72lS7USGu&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY For the bubbles I used these beads from temu share.temu.com/CkJM0IRd6EA They are really tiny and work perfectly for this 😄 for the ivy I made them using vellum that I pre coloured and cut them on my cricut. I'm going to.show that in a video soon. I have seen some mini leaf punches on Temu. Knockoffs of the green world mini punches. I've never bought them though so no idea how good they are. share.temu.com/uB04W1Y765A

[@craftsbyxander]

For they air brush.. don't be afraid of it. It's a pain to have to keep cleaning between colours but it's an awesome tool to have. I'm showing some cheap temu airbrush paints in my next video. Air brush paint is expensive but the finish is so much better. I just tend not to use mine because of the time it takes to clean it. For the door handles I used card which I cut on the cricut. The tool that I cut the to cut the toothpick is a very handy tool to have. It cuts things flush instead of at sharp angles like regular cutters do, so that gave me a flat surface to glue the handle part too. I then coated the handle in thick superglue and set it with activator to keep the shape. I used the same snippers on the clothes pin that I used for the bird feeder perch so inga couldn't stab herself with it as it is not a blunt piece of wire. I hope this helps 😊 I'd love to see your short. Can you share the link with me 😊

[@debstye-duck]

Absolutely brilliant, you are sooo inspiring! ❤

[@snowgirl1939]

Totally gorgeous! 🤗👍

[@diane64yorks]

Hello Xander, what a great place to store your tea bags , I think it's wonderful, I love all the little details you've added, especially the bird feeder it's so cute 😍 your friend lives in a beautiful place. Have a lovely weekend. Best Wishes from Yorkshire 😊

[@cerisekappes580]

Such a beautiful build 😊😊😊

[@Mary-mv2kn]

Cheers Xander I've always said that the best gifts are handmade. You put your heart into each and every detail. No grandbaby yet. He is definitely taken his sweet time getting here. But what a wonderful day it will be when he does. Have a wonderful day ❤❤❤

[@kitangelarts9695]

Wow, that view!

[@marygatdula2744]

I haven't gotten a notification for your last three videos! I just happened to see a video pop up in my feed that I've yet to watch, but I wanted to start with the oldest one first. I have been wondering about you!This little "Outhouse" (in the U.S.) is awesome. You spare no detail! I need to do something like this for some of my tea.

[@JoF999]

I need to get some new best friends who live in idealic locations.....I would not be inspired by any of my friends toilets in Huddersfield 😂😂😂

[@thedollcupboard]

Well aren't you so clever! Beautifully executed, you thought of every last detail. I was mesmerized by your skillful techniques and thoroughly enjoyed watching and learning 🥰✨

[@craftsbyxander]

Thank you Dollcupboard ❤️😊 I loved making it 😁

[@Hbinky]

Brilliant! You kept me guessing whether it was going to be a snowy roof 🤣

[@craftsbyxander]

I considered a snowy roof because that would look STUNNING with the red but then I though it would become a seasonal decoration instead so decided to keep it green. BUT Christmas crafting is about to start so I can make loads of snow 😄

[@JoF999]

The rooftop is excellent!! Looks so realistic.

[@craftsbyxander]

Thabk you Jo 😊

[@wendywalker3598]

Wow I enjoyed watching this so much, what a great start to the weekend! I love the light you used, very clever.❤

[@craftsbyxander]

@wendywalker3598 Aww, Thank you Wendy 🥰♥️ I had so much fun making this little project

[@agneschrismer9946]

You are a true artist. I absolutely love all the little detail. What a fun way to dispense tea bags. What is the actual one used for at your friends place? Thanks for sharing the photos, what a beautiful place to have a cabin.

[@craftsbyxander]

Thank you Agnes 😊 it is a beautiful place.. No one around for miles. So so peaceful. That side is used for tool storage and where the firewood for the stoves normally goes. I just had to add it in the toilet. I wish I had the time for a voice-over so I could explain more but time has ran away with me 🫣😊

[@kathysmelser4598]

I am wondering how I can become your best friend 🤣😂. I just love this build so much!

[@craftsbyxander]

Aww, we can be besties Kathy 😄🥰

[@tulsatinystuff1616]

Nice work - I love your attention to detail - the roof gardens are especially nice!

[@craftsbyxander]

I was so excited to make the roof. It was the main reason I wanted to build it. I need to add a bit more plant variation I think but I do love it 😀

[@MarianMurphy-ib1dd]

This is absolutely ADORABLE!!!

[@craftsbyxander]

Thank you Marian 😊

[@pennyssmallspaces]

Well done Zander! This is truly a work of art!!💚

[@craftsbyxander]

Thank you so much!

[@kitangelarts9695]

Does what it says on the tin? A little Ronseal humor if you will. How did you get your hands on Mr.Superclear in the UK?? - Another stunning build and super sweet idea. I want one...

[@craftsbyxander]

I bought a whole bunch of them a few years ago when I use to do doll repaints. And the cost me 💸💸💸💸 worth every penny though

[@mollymaisie9203]

Love this. Where did you purchase that led light you used? Brilliant.

[@craftsbyxander]

Thank you, Molly. I bought them on eBay and they come from China. They supply the light the battery and the magnet to operate it. Brilliant bit of kit 😁 here's the link www.ebay.co.uk/itm/305229350629?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=boHiRHp4R1e&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=Ne72lS7USGu&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

[@mollymaisie9203]

Thank you. Just added to my basket. Think you are amazing

[@russellgerard]
