That was so fun and a genius way to use the material!!! Thank you again for collabing with me 💖💖

[@RavensMinis]

I had a lot of fun working with something different! Thank YOU for the collab :) Unto the next one ;)

[@robertadunn1572]

Can't wait to see another colab with you two!!!

[@galewhiteman2047]

I would have never thought to paint paper towels to make fabric!! Loved the window design. Great job 👏🏻

[@RavensMinis]

Thank you! I was set for a challenge, but it was fun to explore!

[@elizabeths4371]

bed curtains out of dyed papers towels ...FAB!

[@GingerLolaMiniatures]

WOW!!! Amazing work!!!!!

[@pippylong3782]

I have been totally enthralled by this video. I absolutely love this idea so much. Thank you for sharing this idea with us all. Amazing! ❤from Uk 🇬🇧

[@RavensMinis]

You are so welcome!

[@karenyoung9866]

The texture on the painted paper towels gives the look of Damask material without the bulk. Plus more moldable and drapable than real material would have. Thank you for yet another great idea.

[@RavensMinis]

Thanks so much! I will definitely use that technique again

[@joannaharrison9997]

Fab. And great to see how to make a bed so easily. I watched Ara's video too, and now I'm following her too. You ladies really have kept me sane over the last few months when I've been housebound. Thank you

[@mrkshply]

You're so inventive. Watching someone experiment is great. Thank you

[@RavensMinis]

thanks so much!

[@MetaMarcy21]

I found myself gasping out loud at the fan blade windows! So cool!

[@RavensMinis]

Thank you 😁

[@kathyd856]

That totally looks like it could be her Alchemist's bedroom!!

[@RavensMinis]

Haha that is what Ara said too! Thanks so much for watching!

[@vanessahuman7607]

I love the paper towel curtains. Awesome

[@greg3511]

This is amazing. What a smart and clever use of materials.

[@RavensMinis]

Thank you so much!

[@thenar]

Love the fan blades...very gothic. You have a wonderful eye.

[@RavensMinis]

Thank you so much!

[@christineingram55]

Absolutely gorgeous .really love the bed and unless I saw it being done I would not have believed the curtains and bedding were just paper towels lol..I really liked the surroundings and the windows were so pretty too 😀

[@RavensMinis]

Thank you Christine!

[@Fizzwhizz28]

Amazing isn’t it?! She’s so creative! 🥰

[@gaslitworldf.melissab2897]

Wow. Beautiful and brilliant.

[@megwilcox9774]

Brilliant! I love your use of the fan blades.

[@RavensMinis]

Thanks Meg!

[@ClaudiaMcNeely]

Wow! So much talent! I absolutely love the floor!! And everything else! You definitely have a new fan. That is the first time I didn't hate the music in the background of a video.

[@RavensMinis]

Haha Thank you Claudia! I try to match the music to whatever I am creating and I don't like obnoxious beats and weird sounds. I hope you stick around for all the other stuff I am creating too :)

[@chameliarts6210]

Brilliant watch! Thanks for sharing x

[@AnneAndersonFoxiepaws]

I can't believe how amazing the paper towel looked. The curtains looked like velvet! Great collab. I loved both!

[@DRN]

This turned out really cool

[@RavensMinis]

Thank you

[@rickluque6429]

That looks sooooo real and so amazing. Nice work once again.👍👍 Enjoyed the video as always. Take care.

[@cheriwhitley8385]

[@RavensMinis]

Thank you so much for being here and your kind comment!

[@melindaleblanc1977]

Found Bentley House first and subscribed right away! Then she referred me here and subscribed right away here as well. So the referrals are working! Beautiful job ladies! Thank you for sharing your talents!

[@rickybaumgartner5635]

beautiful. Needs some candles.

[@gaberettberg4196]

so amazing!

[@scrapfancy]

Very impressive. Love it. I have got to make that bed.

[@hazeljanehopkins5652]

Absolutely brilliant Chantal; the windows are genius and the way you used the kitchen paper had me gobsmacked! I noted you were being ‘covid careful’ and using a minimum of the paper - wouldn’t want the same shortage of kitchen roll that we did with TP, eh? Altogether a fabulous collaboration and I’d like to say thanks for making a video that showcased your skill and kept me enthralled.

[@RavensMinis]

'it's only 5 sheets' hehe I wanted to stick to the prompt and I'm not a hoarder. Every artist out there should have a roll of paper towels on their desk, it's a staple! :) Thanks so much for your ongoing support, Hazel!

[@ggmax2958]

You and Bentley are so creative. I love watching this

[@sandrathwaitesbuckingham6839]

I do like how drapes came out. Lovely bed room.

[@kathleenlee3785]

What a fun project! I love how used ordinary things around the house to make a beautiful piece of art! Thankyou love from Canada!

Great way to make something from cheap shop bought items.. love it!

Thank you!

[@lickthismiff]

Oh my god those windows with the fan blades are genius!

haha thanks!

[@daphnet39]

Fabulous! Wish I had seen this a week ago when I was making a mattress and curtains. Now I know some additional ways to do it, especially since I don't like to sew.

[@RavensMinis]

Sewing can take up much time when working with miniatures. keep it in mind for future projects! Thanks for watching

Thanks so much, Bec!

[@barbaraness4507]

9:34 That’s a good idea for a mattress! Covering it and making bed linens for it would be a good way to use up a little of all the fabric I have. Someone gave me fabric so I ended up with quite a bit.

Have you tried using a square leather punch for cutting flooring squares/tiles? I think that might be easier as you can use different sizes and cut multiple layers.
