Miniature Treasure Chest & Treasure Map - Tutorial

Hi guys! Today we're making this cute miniature treasure chest and treasure map :D You can fill it with whatever treasure you want; I just used nail art glitter and rhinestones ;) The chest is made from popsicle sticks which are easy to work with and put together with glue. I made this in 1:12 scale, but you can make it bigger to fit a Barbie or other doll.
Good to know:
I work in 1:12 scale, but you can make them in any size you want and add headpins to make them charms :) I used a mix of the polymer clay brands Fimo and Cernit, but you can use any brand you like. The liquid clay I use is from the brand Fimo. My mold maker is from Siligum/Sili-put.
Thank you so much for watching, I hope you enjoyed this video ^^

It'll need some little gold doubloons, goblets, necklaces and various rhinestones and beads for jewels & pearls! Maybe even a little skull and sword. Love this!!

[@TodaysSpecialMinis]

actually a very lovely chest - the metal was looking kind of odd at first, but when you added the gold coloring - the whole thing came together perfectly. I love the last part with the rhinestones and everything in it - it really looked sparkly and like a treasure chest should look. I almost expected to see a mini dragon swoop down to claim it.

[@stevethepirate2875]

There is a metal tape sold at hardware stores, it's basically aluminum foil with glue. You might find it easier to work with than E-6000 glue and thin metal. It's easy to cut, shape how you will.

[@Greyfoot]

I wish there was a "love" button. ❤

[@natalieskouras7402]

I know

[@ScarletHeather76]

I cannot understand how you keep your nails so pretty with some of the stuff you do.

[@Gongkiat]

What are those 2 dislike about? I found this video very fascinating to watch. No one can hate this :/

[@Louizalass]

What a great video! You speak so clearly and the instructions are clear and precise, no wasting time! Just what I like in an instructional video. Thank you!

[@lenathelion1914]

I love tiny stuff and I like chests,too!😁

[@iLitAfuseiCantStop]

Ooh! I love this piece! You have such an incredible eye for details.

[@joywalsh6150]

Can you imagine how cool this would be with the treasure map saying will you marry me and the treasure inside is a diamond ring?

[@mekaaririkiariri1245]

omg yes that would be so romantic 😍🔥

[@ajharris78]

That would be perfect

[@joywalsh6150]

+You are so kawaii if I ever find myself a man I want to marry I may just have to do that!! 😋💕

[@lenax9798]

I was thinking the same. this is a perfect idea to propose to someone😍

[@mysteriousmercy3894]

Now I have to go tell my best friend to make sure she tells my future fiance to do this.

[@IccurasStar]

this is my favorite video so far... that chest came out amazing!!! maybe you could use it in another video making miniature zelda items . like his hook shot, bombchus and such.. that would be THE BEST THING EVER!!!!!

[@IccurasStar]

"his" as in Link

[@kennedysmith6749]

Love your nails in this video! And as always, great work 😊

[@thornheartred]

I always wonder how you keep your manicure looking so good while doing crafty stuff.

[@1sixscalecrafter351]

[@chrisdav3179]

Your work is awesome, you are a true artist!

[@shellilorang8966]

I loved the way this turned out! Definately one of my favorites

[@LoveLandforChrist]

Amazingly talented

[@soloxrati]

this is great! i tried to make one, but it didnt come as planned lol, thanks for this tutorial definitely i'll try again!

[@zemastor3650]

@beenwandering: you can buy mini jewelry box latches. They're cheap and easy to find if a 1" long latch looks OK with the treasure chest. Finding one that's smaller is very difficult. I ended up having to make one from sheet brass to get one that's 1/4" wide.

[@gloriaponce7300]

waoo Beautyful thank you for the videos !!

[@mekaaririkiariri1245]

you always amaze me with your creations😍💗🔥

[@pompe221]

This is both darling and gorgeous! Such simple materials but what a result! I'm hesitant to make any suggestions since your artistic talent is miles and miles beyond mine but . . . dipping crumpled paper into black tea or strong coffee is an easier way of aging it than painting it.

[@joannecarroll5504]

She could also have lightly burned around the edges of the map using a candle, but neither your suggestion nor mine makes it easier - they're just different. A fully painted version could be completed before the kettle was even boiled to make tea. As she already had the paints, it makes the process much easier for her to use them for all aspects of the project while they're out, than to muck around with all the extra steps involved in tea staining or singeing paper, then still having to do the painting anyway.

[@MizzRivera86]

cute...I have a smililar treasure chest but I bought mine! well done;)

[@yungzubass9648]

Amazing treasure chest. Great tutorial, thanks for sharing.

[@sydneybutler8695]

Excellent! Ty for sharing

[@midnightplum1760]

beautiful

[@cameronzellers1641]

you should do an ancient scroll. kind of the same thing as the map, but write some kind of made up characters to be the secret message. you could even make it in a bottle.

[@josephineelsom3853]

Absolutely stunning and so very talented. Love ALL your videos. xx

[@chauto8143]

hi . im ANH.i like you. xin chào em là ANH .EM rất thích video chị làm

[@jennyclover1887]

also, wearing a thimble or cut proof gloves can make cutting like that a lot safer if you're not experienced with a knife or feel uncomfortable.

[@gailgreen3402]

brilliant!

[@donaunsworth5620]

Hi I need a smaller version of this for a Resin Diorama. Is it feasible please? I have shaky hands so appreciate that it will be ultra fiddly but looks amazingly realistic. Thank you 😊

[@VancySF]

Great work. Love it. What were your measurements for the popsicle sticks you used on the treasure chest (for those who want to do it in 1:12 scale)?
