Making a

Please note, none of the items that I make or show in my videos are toys.They are not for children. All of my miniatures have small parts and are made with a variety of tools and materials. The items in my videos are also not edible! Please do not follow my videos as tutorials - they are made as diary entries to share with you my doll’s house makeovers. I hope you enjoy the videos. Thank you for watching!

This week, I had a second attempt at making a miniature four poster bed for my Tudor doll's house. I used a different method this time, up cycling and reusing second-hand doll's house furniture.
I hope you enjoy the video. Please let me know what you think in the comments. Thank you for watching.

I have been binge watching your videos today and loving every single one! I love your creative style and I absolutely adore how you make things from what you have. I don’t remember which video this was in. I think you were making a little frame. When you mix the silicone… The blue and the white… You mix it all together first so it’s all one color and then use it to make your mold. If you’ve mixed it properly, it will dry into a nice flexible mold so that you can use it over and over again! Keep up the good work you’re doing such a great job.

Thank you so, so much! I still feel like I’ve got a long way to go with making videos that are a little bit more professional (I still have trouble with the sound) but I’ll get there! Thanks for the advice about the silicone - I found that it dried so fast that it had started drying before I’d mixed it together properly 🤭. The mould did work in the end but it was certainly not perfect… hehe!

Really like how the bed turned out! I like using natural elements in miniatures. Thank you so much for taking us through the process with you.

[@thelittlemouseshouse]

Thank you - glad you enjoyed it. ☺️

[@Lauras-tinyview]

I absolutely LOVE watching your videos!! Your bed turned out perfectly! Love how you used the other bed as the headboard. You are so creative! Thank you for sharing your lovely channel with us! ❤️ Your garden is just gorgeous!!

[@thelittlemouseshouse]

Thank you so much! I’m really glad you enjoy the videos - thank you for being part of my little community. ☺️

for the items with sticky wax in, I like to put them in a mug of really hot water with a bit of soap and the wax should melt out and float right to the top! if the material it's in can't handle hot hot water, then warm water should soften the wax up so you can pick it out!

[@thelittlemouseshouse]

Thank you for the suggestion! I’ll give it a go. I’m not sure if it is tacky wax but it’s definitely worth a try.

[@marygatdula2744]

I really love this bed! In fact, I like it even better than the other one. Also, I think the fabric you wanted to use as curtains would look great just as they are, mounted on the inside and at the bottom of the top rail you added on to. I hope that makes sense! Let them hang just as they are. I'm looking forward to seeing the finished product! I know that whatever you decide will be wonderful as always!

[@thelittlemouseshouse]

Thank you! I think I might prefer this bed too. I suppose it makes sense that it should be a bit better with it being my second attempt. 🤭 Thank you for watching!

When taking items apart pop them in the microwave for a few seconds at a time the glue will loosen and you can pop a part. Love the bed

[@thelittlemouseshouse]

Thank you for the suggestion, and thank you for watching. ☺️

The bed was lovely you could substitute fancy buttons for the dry poppy seed heads. I’ve seen floral ones that would give that effect. I loved that you use things you have on hand to create your minis . 💕💕💕

[@thelittlemouseshouse]

Thank you! Buttons would be a great idea!

[@deniseatkins9407]

I absolutely love that bed can't wait to see it finished. I have been making sliding doors for one end of my Lundby it's looking good so far

[@thelittlemouseshouse]

ThThank you! Sliding doors sound really fun to make! Do you post pictures anywhere of your creations? I’d love to see!

[@Foxiepawstotti]

Love your garden, I have been looking outside much more since you did the poppy legs which were genius! I really love looking for inspiration in nature now because it gives really unique results and theres a fairytale feeling to it.

[@thelittlemouseshouse]

Thank you! I think the base of pine cones are beautiful, and acorn cups too… I’ve just not found a use for them yet hehe!

[@KimGibsonfiberlover]

It is gorgeous!

[@thelittlemouseshouse]

Thank you! ☺️

[@jenpink4298]

This bed is so cute! I can’t wait to see what you do next!

[@thelittlemouseshouse]

Thank you! ☺️

bed is really cool, I like the double string on the post beats trying to carve ut

[@thelittlemouseshouse]

@@barbarakaywhite5166 Thank you! I wasn’t sure how it would turn out but I was happy with it. Thanks for watching and for taking the time to comment.

What a beautiful bed

[@thelittlemouseshouse]

@@rivercityminis Thank you! ☺️

[@mytinyminis]

Bed is amazing. ❤ looking forward to the next video. X

[@thelittlemouseshouse]

Thank you!!

[@jeanettewatson7614]

That sticky 'gunk' should come out if you put a wee bit of laundry soap and boiling water in a cup and soak it, it may also clean the goblet, but you might also find a bit of metal polish helps if it happens to discolour it, good luck

[@thelittlemouseshouse]

Thank you! I’ll give it a try. ☺️

[@karakreations1103]

Amazing bed ❤ To disassemble wooden furniture easily I put them in the microwave around 20 seconds depending on the furniture size, and they come apart very easily, a small tip for the next time you need to disassemble something😅

[@thelittlemouseshouse]

That’s an interesting method. Thanks for sharing! I think I’d be a bit nervous of whether the melting glue caused any fumes 🫢

[@karakreations1103]

@@thelittlemouseshouse you don’t cook it until fumes come out lol 😂 just warm it a little bit that’s all.

[@thelittlemouseshouse]

Lovely bed without top and double string ,needs floaty curtains

[@thelittlemouseshouse]

Thank you. I’ve not made them yet but I will post a video when I do. Thank you for watching!

[@CarolHall-m3i]

Just love the use of poppy seed head and wrapping the posts with string has given me ideas. Can’t wait for next video and I wondered if you could recommend a supplier of Tudor ornaments ie a pewter tankard and other suitable items. Would love to know your name too as it adds a more personal touch.

[@thelittlemouseshouse]

@@CarolHall-m3i Thank you! As I make a lot of my miniatures rather than buy them, I’m not sure of where to buy Tudor items from I’m afraid. However, you have just inspired me to research Tudor tankards and this afternoon I’ve made a miniature leather tankard. I’ll post the video tomorrow 🤭. Im a little bit nervous to share too much information online, but some subscribers have given me the nickname ‘Little Mouse’, which I’m quite fond of ☺️! Thank you so much for leaving your lovely comment. Have a lovely evening / day / morning (depending on where you are in the world!)

[@pamb4105]

I wonder...maybe put the item in the freezer, then the wax may come off easier? Worth a try!

[@thelittlemouseshouse]

Great idea - certainly worth a try! Thank you.

Hello! ☺️

[@pascaline161]

A HUGE thank you foryour video tutorial, I found it very helpfull, and managed to craft a lovely tudor bed .. One small negative comment : you babble a lot ( in all'your videos) , so after a while I cut the sound off ...

[@thelittlemouseshouse]

@@pascaline161 I’m glad that you enjoyed seeing the making of the bed in the video. I’d love to hear where your bed is going - do you have a Tudor doll’s house too? I actually don’t class my videos as tutorials as I wouldn’t want to give incorrect advice, so they are more like diary entries ☺️. Sorry about the babble… but I’m afraid that just me!
