EASY dollhouse miniature Coffee Cups made from PAPER

[@Indianaparadise]

[@queencityminis]

I think it's bc you've always had good taste 😉

[@cherrypie3125]

I use these for my minifigures

Me too.

[@gaylec8409]

I have also loved them my whole life and have made many but nothing like this. She is a true artist!😊

[@griseldis]

I especially like that everything is made from such simple materials. Very creative, you don't always need super expensive materials to make beautiful things.

I absolutely love how accessible the materials are. I don't have much room or money for new supplies, so I really appreciate the thrifty options. it's incredibly inspiring seeing how creative you are with all your minis 😊 my favorites were the paint spattered blue and red mugs! they look exactly like the real deal!

[@queencityminis]

Thank you so much 😊 I grew up with blue splatter mugs. They make me nostalgic. So easy!

[@PetroicaRodinogaster264]

I am a bit lTe to the party as this is nearly a yr old, but never the less very interesting. I like your presentation style too. No un-needed chatter, umming and arrring and you have clear, concise instructions.

[@MimmiesMinis-KellyPenny]

The paper curls and behaves better because bending the paper as you did breaks the bonds of the paper. It gives the flexibility to wrap around something and not leave the large ridges you sometimes get when wrapping paper and it has less tendency to rip.

[@queencityminis]

Thank you! I figured it had something to do with the paper fibers. It works really well.

[@MimmiesMinis-KellyPenny]

@@queencityminis yes, it's definitely a game changer!

[@susangrimm6771]

I especially liked the spatterware over blue cup. It fits my camping diorama perfectly.

[@queencityminis]

That's been a favorite for most. I think it makes us nostalgic. Spatterware has been around for decades.

[@mastersadvocate]

I love the miniature mugs that you made! They sure are amazing, and look like the expensive miniatures you can buy at a Dollhouse shop! Thanks for showing how to make them! ~Janet in Canada

[@clarahulon6057]

As an avid miniaturist, I find these so cool! Those I've purchased are too chunky. Can't wait to make my own. Thank you!

[@queencityminis]

Same here. I have some 1:12 mugs that look great but they're too big. They'd be the equivalent of 9" tall. These look better because they're in scale.

[@normacrawford835]

Awesome, and you have such patience !

[@queencityminis]

Thank you very much! It's funny whenever any of you say I have patience bc I'm very impatient. I dry paint with my heat gun and I never wait for glue to dry before I go to the next step.

I just went LiVE making a complete Mini Pyrex Glass Cooking Set because I was inspired last night by your video here! The set is One-Of-A-Kind and available for sale! But I have no clue what to even charge for these being that these are probably the first ones in the world to be made! Thanks for the inspiration!

That's so cool! I hope you get a bundle for them.

[@lorettaschmitt4224]

Fantastic. I love ❤ tutorials that don't usually require you to spend a lot of money or to make numerous trips to the store for supplies. If you're a crafter to begin with, you might have just about everything you need to make these delightful little mugs. 😊 Thank you for sharing.

[@queencityminis]

Absolutely! All you need is some paper, glue, string or a paper clip, and nail polish or paint.

Seriously, this how-to video was done PERFECTLY . Very informative, very detailed, and every word was so clear . Also even though your voice is very soothing, this tutorial doesn't lull you to sleep . Brilliant ! 🎉

[@queencityminis]

Glad it was helpful! Although some people do listen to my videos to fall asleep. A friend of mine soothed herself through Covid listening to my videos. A man commented the other day that he and his veterans group watch my videos to relax.

[@BluCrystals]

That is TOTALLY AMAZING. I love watching smart people make money saving miniatures. I've learned so much from these creative people. I made a miniature general store using mostly things I've made for watching KZbin. And it came out extremely nice better than I thought it would. 😊👍🏾

[@queencityminis]

That's great! I've learned so much from KZbin as well. The miniature community is great on here.

[@Siennaflower]

These would look great in a corner coffee shop or bakery! ❤ I saw a good hack this week on a video. They suggested using masking tape to wrap around little things like paper clips when you cut them, so they are less likely to go flying.

[@queencityminis]

Great tip! Idk why but I just let it fly.

[@Siennaflower]

@@queencityminis Well--there's that too--if you don't mind. 😁

[@queencityminis]

I do mind 😂 I end up looking for pieces. No more

[@TR-rz1xt]

​@@queencityminis Try a magnet on a bit of string or stick, and sweep the area you think the bits flew maybe?! LOL

[@sewdramatic5587]

you can also do the clip inside a plastic paint water cup. it will zing around, and it stays in the cup.

[@pengle]

These are great. I especially like the enamel ware look. I bet they would look great in your 1800's room box kitchen

[@queencityminis]

That's true! I should make a pitcher out of paper and paint it. I've seen people do it.

You just solved a dilemma I had, I was watching another mini channel whose name escapes me (senile here!) and she was showing us how to make stoneware crocks and bottles. I get the body of the things but can't get the handles to look right in 1:18 th scale, I think the yarn is the answer. I don't know how I didn't think of it because I just recently told Little Mouses dollhouse that twine or yarn would be perfect for making stems for holly, so it wasn't as if this video (this video of yours) hadnt educated me first time around, but, like I say, senile!

[@queencityminis]

That's great! I hope it works.

Beautiful creations and excellently taught. Mod podge hard coat it my best friend personally x

[@queencityminis]

I've never even heard of Mod Podge Hard Coat! Interesting

[@kimdad8831]

@queencityminis I have been using it on my card and greyboard creations big and small for quite a few years. I have created fridge magnets from very layered dies ie the santarro gorjus girls that now resemble plastic not card. I found the best way with card is to seal it with anything first ie another basic mod podge glue/sealer or an affect to add depth although it isn't fully visible eg matt creates a layer but the hard coat is glossy let it dry for at least 24 hours then do several thin coats of the hard but here is the key let it cure for the 28days before doing again for a tougher result and keep repeating it until your happy. Just like using resin, which this contains but I'd far easier. I found it creates a harder coat by allowing curring between several layers instead of just applying at oncex

[@agm97ga]

Love these! Thanks for the tutorial. These are really cute, I especially like the splatter ones.

Thank you so much for that side by side comparison between dimensional magic and diamond glaze. It was easier to see the effect here, rather than on Ara's glass blocks (it almost looked etched). After watching a previous video of yours, I bought the dimensional magic, but once I use that up I will try the diamond glaze. Thanks!!!!

[@queencityminis]

Glad it was helpful! I had never heard of Diamond Glaze before I saw Ara using it. It can also be used in a much thicker application (poured on). I'll try that out, I'm sure

Sometimes when our bodies fail us but our minds don’t having the correct tools can make all the difference, I could suggest some if you would like to persevere at this very rewarding hobby. Ps we all hate our own work and constantly improve, I feel confident that you are doing far better than you think after all just because you watch a video of someone driving or building a house does not mean you can immediately go out and achieve that same level of success and experience. Please realise the imperfections are what makes it unique, handmade and more importantly yours, no one knew your intentions they only see the beauty in the results and hardly ever the ‘errors’ if you don’t point them out x

[@jeannehansen4323]

Cute cups. I have 2 suggestions. First, when you clip something, try holding it in a ziploc bag so the scrap end doesn’t go flying. Second, when I want to paint with Testors I just use the end of a toothpick to spread it. Because of the texture of the paint it flows easily off the tip of the toothpick and dries smooth. When I’m done I just toss the toothpick. Since I’ve only done this with metallic paints I’m not positive it will work as well with regular enamel but you can try it.

[@queencityminis]

Thanks for the tips! I switched from using my own brushed to the cheap plastic bristle brush that came in the kit and it works well. I'll try the toothpick method for smaller items. As for cutting things and letting them fly, I'll straighten up my act going forward ☺️
