Making a Mini TREEHOUSE for my DOLLHOUSE (Prompt 15)

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

Quick note about the CLEAR WORBLA: I just learned it takes a lot more heat to activate so that is why I had a harder time shaping it. I just didn't have it hot enough... so if you do get it hot enough make sure to WEAR GLOVES to project your skin. Since I didn't get it too hot, it didn't bother me but make sure to protect your fingers!

[@Voirreydirector]

There is a young lady called Winterstar Cosplay who seems to know quite a bit about the stuff here on KZbin. Just thought I would pass her name on.

[@edwinacoffman6429]

Omg girl! This is so cool! It just needs a tire swing and it will be every child's fantasy play area

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

Yes! I definitely need to add a swing!

[@thcusandsunny]

I love how you always find a way to "fix" what doesn't meet your expectations. No waste, 100% smart! ✨

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

Thank you!! Sometimes it also has to do with my laziness and not wanting to remake something lol!

[@audrey5941]

I love the metal roof with all its repairs and age and bent corners! Our forts from the 70s would have had a few ratty pillows for lounging on, maybe an empty soda can… pine cones on “dishes” for pretend food. Really takes me back… ❤️

[@Voirreydirector]

Oh yes,a couple pink Tab soda cans!

[@DiannelLaird]

Audrey, thanks for bringing back memories from this grandma’s memory bank.🥰

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

Oh definitely empty soda cans! Maybe even some hanging from the branches like make shift telephones?😄

[@DiannelLaird]

@@BentleyHouseMinis OMGosh yes, our phone system worked great! The pine cone food though, that literally took the cake! We had some fantastic times. We were so lucky to live where there were trees or woods as we called them.🥰

[@georgepolen9123]

Really enjoyed this video! Good work! I actually liked the fake fur- it looked like fog rising from the ground and fit the theme.- Mrs. G

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

I didn't realize it looked like fog until I saw that mentioned in the comments! I might have to leave it that way now lol!

[@dominiquejeames4386]

Well done. Always quietly as if it were simple and flowing. However, I am sure that there is a lot of thought and talent involved. You are a magician. And I love magic. Once again, thank you for sharing. I'm going to "borrow" your way of making a tree 🌳 it's a great idea. The result is very pretty. And fits well with the main house. Kisses from France. Domi

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

Thank you Dominique for the kind compliments! Definitely borrow the technique and go for it! I think I will be doing my trees that same way from now on😊

[@dominiquejeames4386]

@@BentleyHouseMinis Hi Ara, I also have a good plan to make 1/12th scale trees, but in limited numbers. In the fall, when the tomato vines no longer yield, I carefully dig up the roots, clean up the soil and with the base of the stem as a trunk and the rootlets of the roots ground down a bit with scissors, you get very convincing trees. All that's left to do is to glue on a few leaves to get some nice winter trees. But it doesn't work every time, unlike your technique. Kisses from France Domi Ps. Scratch to Stormy

[@Chattycrafter2580]

I get so excited when I get your notifications, your channel is by far the best on KZbin. The tree house is absolutely amazing. Just what the children in the Fairfield needed to play on.👏👏😘👍🇦🇺

FANTASTIC!!! The TREE is perfect! And I REALLY 😍 that treehouse hideout! I know what you mean about being BEHIND on videos! But I’m glad you posted this printer because I would LOVE to get one after I’ve weaned myself off of a hundred other craft projects! 🙄 Get to work on more videos!!!! And a livestream! I so enjoy content!

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

I am so glad you liked the project and how it came out!! I love that printers are getting better and more affordable each year. And I totally know what you mean about 100 other projects lol!!

[@Voirreydirector]

My dear, that was the most honest product review ever! Print job versus child with nerf! No wonder you are so detailed oriented and precise. Well done. I did not know the Fairfield was a 70’s revival of a Victorian, lovely! I shall have to watch in its entirety. I think you will have no trouble with the cinnamon, it protects food from spoiling, so it is like a preservative. Oh, and you lashed that ladder well, yes, tying stuff down like that is often called lashing. Glamorous word!

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

Thank you for the info on 'lashing' and cinnamon. I didn't know it was a preservative but that makes sense why cinnamon ornaments last a life time lol! All my machines have to some amount of nerf proof lol!

[@rachaelkasper5445]

This was such a fun project! I really love how it adds whimsy to The Fairfield house. Worbla, 3D printing, hand-made stuff...it all came together seamlessly. Thanks to you, I was running through my head all the different materials that could be used to achieve the same effects (You're an awesome teacher!). The details always amaze me. Love the roof!! (I have a pug too and she's so sweet!)

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

Lol thank you!! I do that too sometimes... I try to figure out what else could I make this same idea with?? I was thinking that a thin sheet of polymer clay could get some similar results to the worbla but would have to work around the baking issue. Laci (the pug) is such a sweetheart too... loves to have her tummy scratched!

[@releasingendorphins232]

Incredible as always. You have made ago the Masterpiece. I am so ready for your interpretation of The Wizard of Oz. I collect the Hallmark Ornaments of Oz. The characters look so much like the real characters. You should have a blast building Oz. Thanks for sharing the cutest Tree House and especially, Tree I have ever seen.

[@recoveringsoul755]

You could add a tire swing from the tree or from The underside of the treehouse, and/or a bucket that can be raised and lowered from the treehouse to the ground, like for when mom sends lunch up.

[@jfcfanfic]

I definitely agree on this.

[@laureencriss8220]

I have only done one metal roof using corrugated cardboard, my son did the painting technique to make it look like rusted metal. It looks so good beside the Fairfield, I will have to see about doing one for my Fairfield which is still in the beginning processes. What a surprise when you picked up Stormy's friend. LOL!

Amazing work, A! : )

I showed my brother the Chicago poster you used for the house (as he's a big Chicago fan), and he laughed at the idea that that particular poster was ever super popular (it was for a very early concert). He said all that means is that your inhabitants must be big fans ;) I thoroughly enjoyed seeing the natural sticks morph with the fake tree bits, that would be fun to try sometime as it worked really well for you!

Thank you for the PVA tip! I have used it when adding the clay to another surface but I have never tried mixing it in.

[@reneeallen3569]

Absolutely gorgeous! Most treehouses have a bucket on a rope to transport stuff in. May be a detail you might want to add.

The tree house is so cute! And as always, you did a great job. I think a couple of old Halloween decorations that look like the have been there since the 70s would be fun. One of the cheesy ghosts hanging from a branch that is just an old bed sheet with marker eyes where the head has been tied off and stuffed with leaves. Or an old, falling apart scarecrows scattered around the base of the tree. These would be fun to age and make look moldy and weathered. Thank you for the sharing your talent with all of us.

@@BentleyHouseMinis i'm easing him into it with the legos... lol. Right now, his confidence (and experience) is negligible. My goal is to build a house together from scratch, so I'm trying to ease him on a path that will benefit both of us in this, with his skills better meshing. But first, familiarity with tiny stuff lol. Its hilarious hearing a "ping" as some small bit hits the floor, and I'm doin' my thing, and I hear, "ugh. Sausage fingers." Then a grunt as he goes in hunt of the piece. To help, I got us both silicone baking mats (its amazing how easy paint, glue, etc cleans up!). The pings are fewer now, but still happen. But, he's enthusiastic. Now that he has a small collection of cars/vehicles, I might suggest he choose his favorite and we build it a suitable setting so we can display it. Better yet, one we can switch them out in. A bit devious, but... *grins*, he already admires minis, just doesn't think its for HIM as a hobby. He claims clumsiness, and I have to remind him, youtubers edit. Lol. So any "oopsies" a 'tuber leaves in, I try to show him, to remind him... it only stops him cus he lets it I forsee a MUCH happier retirement for us both if I can get him invested in both a hobby of his own (the technics) and a mutual hobby (minis). Separateness is as much a needed thing as togetherness (more-so for an introvert like myself, and partner is an extrovert and wants togetherness more lol, I think his doing something like tecnics in the same space as i am counts as his social need and my own quiet need, as he gets engrossed and tunes me out). Waiting for him to get off work so we can better organize this lil crafting area. I have bits if paper, ink pads, paint bottles, etc, strewn about lol. Between goodwill & $store, got a few storage things, some are "craftable", one's a shadow box (kind of, it was a "save your cash for whatever" display box lol), and I've gesso'd it, and now debating how to work (mini scene) within a shallow area, and what do I want to portray? Fun planning it out, though. I think 1st, determine a good scale. Lol.
