MINI LUGGAGE/SUITCASES from plastic containers for your Dollhouse

[@kittyemzcanada]

👍💯...Fantastic job! I know now what to do with the little earplug containers I've been saving. Thank you. 💙

[@littlegretchensworkshop7665]

Hi there!!! I'm so Glad this was helpful! thank you for watching!

[@denisew3917]

Fantastic use of pill boxes. Very creative 👏👏

[@littlegretchensworkshop7665]

Thank you so much 😊

[@patriciaheraty7380]

Oh, Gretchen, you have outdone yourself this time! These are precious and look like they came from the equivalent of "Little Louis Vuitton"! I hate plastic (waste) and this idea covers (pun intended) so many bases! Your work is inspiring and for me: sanity saving. Your channel is one of my favorite "happy places" to visit! Thank you so much for sharing your hard word, time, enthusiasm and love of miniatures!

[@littlegretchensworkshop7665]

Thank you Patricia! I appreciate you for telling me that here is a Happy Place for you! I truly am Glad to have you here!

[@debbralehrman5957]

[@littlegretchensworkshop7665]

Thanks Debbra!!!

[@nancyring8104]

I love the way you always tell us the best practice, even if you more often than not say, “but I didn’t do that” 😂 These suitcases turned out great- my favorite is the traditional rectangular one!!❤️

Hi, another fun video, I especially liked the pockets on the inside. You really see the details in things , things that most of us don’t even see, and use them to their best advantage. See you in the next video 💕👍

[@littlegretchensworkshop7665]

[@littlegretchensworkshop7665]

Thank you so much Zoe! l appreciate you for watching and allowing me to share!!! i appreciate your feedback too, especially regarding being called a DOLL! LOLOLOL!!

[@wendywalker3598]

Another creative use of everyday materials and ‘that would be good to use as’…. I love the pocket details and your use of nail studs is always a fabulous finishing touch. I just love watching you play and learn so much. We have an expression in the UK “Were your ears burning?” It’s a way of saying we were talking about you, in a good way. My local dolls house group members were all saying fabulous things about you and your channel. ❤❤❤

[@littlegretchensworkshop7665]

I'm so delayed in my replies please forgive me! I have been so focused working on the wedding l have fallen behind! WENDY!!!? OMGOODNESS!!! NO Way?? REALLY??? They are talking about "My Channel at the Dollhouse group" in the UK??? Wendy WOW! this Comment made my day! l appreciate for taking the time to share this with me! it's so encouraging to hear this......Thank you!

[@debbiezombro2839]

How adorably cute such attention to detail miss Gretchen! ❤❤

[@littlegretchensworkshop7665]

Thank you Debbie!!!

[@papabear2515]

So creative and so wonderfully done! I so love the pockets in the round suitcases! Brilliant! Thanks! Kathleen

[@littlegretchensworkshop7665]

You are so welcome! i'm glad this was helpful!

[@klaird_h4727]

These are adorable Gretchen!🤗

[@littlegretchensworkshop7665]

Thank you Klaird!!!

[@laurawiles410]

🤩They have POCKETS! 🤩 I love pockets! The little dividers in the round cases are great, too! All three cases look great. 🥰 I'm inspired now to go makeover that little plastic case that I have had for forty years and moved 15 times because I knew it would make a great doll suitcase if I could just figure out how to cover the painted label. 😄

[@littlegretchensworkshop7665]

LOLOLOL!Funny truth Mine had a painted label too! l removed it with Acetone! Came right off! I didn't even have to sand it! Let me know how it goes!

[@elmariekariolis9245]

Love the suitcases, certainly going to try it, what a clever way of using up your hoarding of little things.

[@barbkeith2697]

Those are so stinkin cute!

[@jonihenry8124]

Hmmm, so many ideas.... 🙂 Thanks, Gretchen!!!

[@littlegretchensworkshop7665]

LOLOLOL!! You are Welcome Joni!

[@Craftypumpkin1]

Beautiful cases, I love the inner pocket ideas too they are so cute, Great job ❤

[@r.vancil129]

Sitting here with an upset tummy and thinking "I know what! I'll watch Gretchen do her magic and I'm bound to feel better 😁!" Loving the stripes and plaids!

[@littlegretchensworkshop7665]

THANK YOU TERRI! You are Such a Precious DOLL! This is such a kind thing to say!

[@CassandrajustCassandra]

The plaid on the rectangular suitcase is really perfect for fabric covered luggage, the color couldn’t be better. I can see how paper would be easier on the inside though 🫤 but I remember my old luggage having all kinds of pleats and gathers in the fabric. It looks right but it doesn’t look easy 😂. Take care Darling Doll! xx

[@littlegretchensworkshop7665]

You can definitely fold the fabric in sort of like an "accordion" fashion or make tucks! I should have tried that! Perfect suggestion for my next project!

[@panacheluxury4262]

These suitcases turned out so nice, Gretchen. You are giving me so many amazing ideas for a major project I have coming up. Thank you!

[@ElleMay]

What wonderful cases they are brilliant ❤

[@littlegretchensworkshop7665]

Thank you ElleMay!!!

[@christhompson4270]

What a great idea and looks amazing. Take care and thank you for sharing 👏🙏❤️

[@littlegretchensworkshop7665]

Thank you so much 😊As ALWAYS THANK YOU CHRIS!!!

[@peggyhemenger8983]

Those are so adorable, and I always love your observations, paper is often easier to work with in certain situations. I like your fluid approach as well, always eager to try a new idea or a new way of doing things. Also, thanks for all the good advice that you don't take yourself!😂

[@littlegretchensworkshop7665]

Yes do as i say not as i do!!!! LOLOLOLOL!!! I'm so glad you enjoyed this!

[@thedollcupboard]

How do you do it Gretchen? Your luggage just keeps getting better and better. I'm crazy about the big suitcase! But the round bags with their pockets and sections 🥹 SO CUTE! As I was watching you go for the exact bauble you had in mind I was thinking.. isn't it amazing how when creating, it's possible to mentally catalog all the little pieces spread on the table and know just what you're looking for? Do you know what I mean? LOL Just rambling. Love to watch your creative process. 🥰✨

[@dianedelodder7733]

Wonderful as always! I'm sorry I didn't get back to your comment. Unfortunately I won't be able to attend the Ann Arbor miniature show 😢. I hope you have an excellent day!

[@littlegretchensworkshop7665]

Hey Diane! No worries, i am so behind in responding to comments I apologize as well! Maybe we will see each other next year!!

[@marygatdula2744]

These are really cute. I'll have to keep an eye out for containers!

[@littlegretchensworkshop7665]

[@lupinafry9634]

Gretchen!! You're amazing! I've been eyeing a little pill box for months wondering what I would do with this tiny box and HERE YOU ARE! What a brilliant idea! I"'ll make a little suitcase with it! Love your helpful tips!! BTW- making faux leather out of brown craft paper is great for luggage too! Your stuff is amazing!! Thank you!!!!

[@littlegretchensworkshop7665]

HI Lupina!!! Thank you for the suggestion about the Brown paper as leather! The hilarious part is I've made hats out of it and never thought about using it for straps or leather on my luggage! 💖☺️💖💖💖💖💖💖

[@mfamilysminis]

I am in love with these mini luggages! 😍😍 It’s so clever how you made them! They are so cute and so in tune with the style of all your other creations! 💞💞

[@littlegretchensworkshop7665]

Thanks so much! 😊I appreciate you for letting me know you are enjoying this! Thank you for being here!!

[@patmanchester8045]

I like how your imagination works. I go through life thinking that the cracking pattern in the side walk is a river system, flowers are faces etc. I bet you do too.

[@littlegretchensworkshop7665]

Thank you PAT!!! YES! I SEE ART IN EVERYTHING!

[@gailcason3652]

Nice! Love these!

[@littlegretchensworkshop7665]

Hello Melanie ☺️👋💖!!!! How Wonderful!! So sorry for the delayed response. I'm trying to catch up with all the comments My Father was stationed in Germany when my Mom was carrying me! Thank You for such a Kind compliment! I am so Glad that you are enjoying my content and channel! Welcome to Little Gretchen's Workshop! ENJOY 😍😃💖💖💖💖💖

[@nessiemonstercrafts]

Oh girl I can so relate to having to make something just to get the idea out of your head lol. But they look so great! You really nailed the Victorian vibe! I've never seen those pill cases before, I'll have to keep an eye out for them to add to my what are you keeping that for stash lol

[@littlegretchensworkshop7665]

Those pill boxes where given to me when my job was purging old marketing items. I wish I would have grabbed more! LOLOLOL!

[@alienonion4636]

Awesome idea and well executed.

[@littlegretchensworkshop7665]

Thank you very much! I appreciate the compliment😊💖💖💖

[@amosminiatures3945]

Looks amazing

[@littlegretchensworkshop7665]

Thank you!!

[@zuitsuit80]

I recently made some similar luggage in 1:6 scale using altoids cans, small jewelry cases, jewelry crafts bits and pieces and circular tin cans. The exteriors look great but I’ve been nervous about finishing the inside lining with fabric. I want the bags to look pretty but also spacious inside. Your video helped me decide to use printed craft paper for the cleaner look. Thank you so much!

[@littlegretchensworkshop7665]

I'm so glad this was helpful

[@evekankam6744]

What a brilliant idea,they look beautiful,going to look for small containers to make some, thanks for sharing.

[@littlegretchensworkshop7665]

Have fun! Thank you for watching EVE!!!😊💖💖💖

[@janreichard5511]

So sweet! I’ve been trying to find the plastic container you used for the suitcase but can’t remember what came in it. You cases turned out so wonderfully!!!

[@littlegretchensworkshop7665]

Thank you Jan!!!

[@miniaturescookingandmore6583]

Wow, very nice!!

[@L70s]

Remember the rain bonnets from the hair salon? Everytime my grandma went she'd come out with blue hair and give me the little plastic case for my barbies.

[@littlegretchensworkshop7665]

YES YES YES!!!! I REMEMBER THOSE!!!! THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT I THOUGHT OF WHEN I ACQUIRED THESE !!! THANK YOU FOR LETTING ME KNOW YOU REMIND!!!!

[@jenpink4298]

Such a clever idea to use those little pill containers!

[@littlegretchensworkshop7665]

Thanks Jenpink!

[@Julia-ch9wt]

I couldn't find your live on Saturday and looking through your files I can't see it there.... I don't know what I did wrong?

[@solidsnakesimulation666]

She deleted it.

[@marygatdula2744]

It should have shown up in your notifications. You should double-check that the bell icon on her channel is on and that "All" is selected. I'm sorry you missed it! I actually thought it was going to start later, so I'm lucky I caught it.

[@littlegretchensworkshop7665]

Hi Julia! So sorry You missed it i will be doing another after the wedding! I will leave it posted next time!

[@littlegretchensworkshop7665]

SO Glad you were there Mary! I do plan to do another one after the wedding. And I will announce it and give everyone ample time to schedule to watch!

[@lolasworldofminis]

Wonderful! Lovely! Inspiring! Do you have a source for the round pill boxes? They really are perfect for the round cases.

[@littlegretchensworkshop7665]

No they were random. The company I work for gave him away as pill containers!🤭😄 I was like I don't need them for pills but I do need them for my doll house! I wish I had taken more than two 🤭😂😅

[@karen4you]

Your crafts make me scrutinize every bit of plastic and trash wondering if it can be something in miniature. Will you make a duffle bag or s backpack. A tiny picnic basket?

[@littlegretchensworkshop7665]

I know I am late responding to this, but did you like the picnic basket created ?

[@karen4you]

@@littlegretchensworkshop7665 I like everything you make, that is what makes watching fun. You are full of surprises.
