DIY Miniature sink, faucet & pipes from SCRATCH for a dollhouse

[@lori416]

“To be safe you should have someone else hold it.” I literally lol’d. 😂 Your work is brilliant btw.

[@krystleburgess1052]

Me too!!! Bawhaha. Love, k

[@MaryGatdula]

So did I!!! Hahaha

[@queencityminis]

Thank you! 😁

[@barbkeith2697]

Pure genius! ❤

Sometimes you don't realize you were doing something dangerous until you watch your footage back during editing. Then you realize you're lucky you still have all your digits.

[@valeriebrincheck6034]

I really thought the sink was store bought before I watched the video. Beautiful job as always!

[@queencityminis]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@aroha9090]

Yeah, I was CONVINCED this must've been store bought!! Incredible

[@wonderwend]

KZbin needs more miniaturists building from scratch to help newbies get into the craft 👏👏👏👏

[@queencityminis]

I agree 👏

[@audrey5941]

I’m always surprised at the lens by which miniaturists view the world. Who would have thought an earring back would look like faucet hardware? That grommet is a perfect drain.

[@queencityminis]

I'm so psyched about that. I just bought the earring backs very recently.

[@crowbaby]

When my daughter was young she and I got into dollhouse miniatures in a big way. We traveled to regional shows and took classes so trust me when I tell you that this woman is a master of her craft.

[@kat3910]

First of all, BRAVO for not using a 3D printer to make this. I absolutely appreciate that the sink was totally hand made. It turned out perfect - looking at it, I would have thought it was purchased. Second, you CRACK ME UP. I love your dry wit - "to be safe, have someone else hold it" - yup, love it!!! ;)

[@queencityminis]

Thank you very much! I appreciate that

[@recoveringsoul755]

How it went from rough looking clay to smooth white porcelain is amazing!! This is inspiring and thats what I'll tell KZbin if they ask why i liked the video

[@queencityminis]

Excellent! Tell them

[@AwkwardBirb]

I love how you gave options for the faucets - mass produced, beads, or making them from absolute scratch - so absolutely anyone can do this. Wonderful tutorial once again ❤❤

[@queencityminis]

Thanks so much!

[@annieo9468]

WOW ! Absolutely brilliant. I'm always impressed when someone creates things using 'everyday' materials. You excel at that. (I laughed out loud at "if you want to be safe, let someone else hold it") 🤣

[@queencityminis]

Haha 😆 Glad you caught that

[@angieklotz8639]

I loled at that comment as well😂

[@vickinoeske1154]

I am in awe that you made the sink. Wow! Then I'm so impressed that you made the faucets.❤

[@queencityminis]

I wanted the entire thing to be made from scratch, so the metal faucets had to go.

[@vickinoeske1154]

@@queencityminis I couldn't believe that you made those too. You are Super Woman.😉

[@megiab]

i am so in love with this porcelain look! miniature "toilet aisle at lowes" project here i come!!! In my real 1870 house, we have a lot of iron pipes used for little handrails on all of the outdoor stairs. These q-tip pipes are going to make an appearance as railings for sure! good stuff!

[@queencityminis]

Very cool! Maybe you need to make a mini version of your antique house.

[@megiab]

@@queencityminis it'd be super easy. I'll just get a victorian dollhouse and an ebay lot of barbie clothes. Cover every surface with laundry .. piles and piles of tiny laundry. Voila! Seriously though, I'm currently sketching out a little courtyard area of our yard that I want to put inside a fancy victorian greenhouse that I'm making as a stained glass project. Also my 7 y.o. daughter and I are planning a dollhouse rehab youtube channel as a summer project, for better or worse. I don't know how you content creators manage ideas and projects so well!

[@moeoverthere3640]

Earring back?! Who would’ve thought! So creative,

[@nessiemonstercrafts]

That sink came out phenomenally well! At the beginning I thought there was no way what you started with would end up looking so smooth and polished, but seriously I should know better than that with your skills and talent. Bloody fantastic!

[@queencityminis]

Yeahhhh, it goes through an ugly stage 😆

I have a Chrysenbon (sp?) sink from their bathroom set I’ve had for years. But now I want to make my own sink! Pure genius!❤

[@queencityminis]

I love Chrysnbon! Their pieces are perfectly to scale.

[@kellysweeney3842]

Absolutely perfect little sink! The details make it stunning. Thank you for showing us how to do custom faucets. Great video!

[@queencityminis]

Glad you liked it! Now I wanna make a kitchen faucet with the other type of handle.

[@patriciasmith7074]

Your finished sink really looks a lot like my grandmothers old sink, what you think to use is amazing. Maybe her bathroom faucets did look like that, my memory may be failing me, I know they always had a separate hot and cold faucets, there weren’t any mixing valves with a single faucet. You do a wonderful job with your colors!

[@queencityminis]

I love old sinks! So much character

[@AmIsis777]

I find your videos inspiring and will be adopting some of your techniques for my own miniature making. Thank you so much for sharing your visions.

[@queencityminis]

Thank you so much!!

[@GinasMiniatureStudio]

OMG I love how this basin turned out! It goes to show you really do need to trust the process as when you pressed the clay over the mould, I wasn't sure how you were going to bring it all together, but you did and it looks phenomenal! Can't wait to see what project it turned up in 🤩

[@queencityminis]

Thank you! I didn't realize how truly ugly the beginning stages were until I read the comments. I knew it turned out great, so I was unconcerned. It really did look like a mess in the beginning 😆 I like creating shapes likes this by baking a simple shape first and using liquid clay and clay to add basic shapes around it. It's so much easier than trying to sculpt all of it at once. This was easy; baked basin from a sheet of clay, then three sheets for the top, front, and back.

[@beldarin]

That is so cool, I have never used polymer clay before but I bought a starter pack with a heap of colours after seeing Little Gretchen make food for her dollhouse/roominghouse and thought it was about time I gave it a try.

[@queencityminis]

I struggle with making polymer clay food. I love Little Gretchen's simple techniques. It looks great without being too advanced like Sugar Charm Shop's work. Gorgeous, but out of my skillset.
