Temu & Etsy Miniatures and miniature crafting tool haul

[@cherwilkes4564]

love the Croc lights. GREAT HAUL. I think it's grand that you support other artist!

[@craftsbyxander]

They are honestly so handy this time of year whilst waiting for the longer days. Bit annoying at times too though cos I can feel them moving when I walk 😄

[@CajunCraft24]

Love the creepy doll molds, the Etsy cymbals monkey, and cat skeleton ! Thank you for the links- great shop Looking forward to seeing everything pop up again in your projects

[@craftsbyxander]

I can not wait to use those doll moulds. I think I might use them in a near future video 🤔💭 They will go well with the monkey sat together in some dark corner glaring away 😄

[@meadowsage1456]

The toilet was too small for barbie, 1:6, but too big for 1:12, but I found it perfect for a barbie classroom I made for my granddaughter. The children dolls are like 5, 6 inches and they fit perfect on the toilet. Thank you for the video. Lots of good info since I'm an advid temu shopper for making my miniatures. I prefer to work in half scale, so temu doesn't have a whole lot. They seem to be geared towards 1:12.

[@craftsbyxander]

I thought it may be somewhere in between. I will have to try and disguise it inside a cubicle. Thank you for confirming 😊

@@craftsbyxander I saw the leather strap body and went and bought one. You can bake the molds.

Lol..I'm commenting as I watch so I don't forget.. the Lil metal pieces are great for chain pulls, I believe I've seen Shyra from Queen City Minis use them for faucet handles and that's what I originally got them for, but they are so much more. The cherubs are so cute they would be great on tombstones, too. And the little pug, I love the idea of hanging on the table begging for food ..brilliant oh maybe thebwhite pigcan be laying, hanging on top of a sofa or comfy chair lol😍

[@hellwest-fifi]

The Serbia Etsy shop seller make fantastic things. They actually have at least 2 shops. Thank's for sharing your haul. Psst, You make also fantastic things, very inspiring😊

[@craftsbyxander]

Aren't they awesome! Oh really? Do you know the name of their other store?

[@tinykeyholeminis]

I love all your ideas and plans for everything. I absolutely love the tiny doll head molds I have so many ideas for those. And the mystery box..obsessed!! The teddy bears are so cute.there are several tutorials for those..I got so confused after two minutes in😂 great haul..thank you so much for sharing. I will check out the links.❤🥰

Here in my neck of the woods fancy toothpicks are called hors d’oeuvres picks

[@kitangelarts9695]

Ooh you found some excellent things there!! I've already grabbed some myself... I foresee much miniature joy in our futures :D

[@craftsbyxander]

So much fun to be had 😁 I LOVE those little pugs. So cute

[@Foxiepawstotti]

Love it! You watch all the same channels as I do and you have a similar 'alternative' take on miniatures as I do!

[@Joyce-bv2tg]

Ohhh Xander ! Absolutely loved the haul, especially the mystery box and the other purchases from the artist. Someone on KZbin has videos on making miniature pipe cleaner animals. Xander my boy, what have you done to boo boo up your hands? Loved the sex shop new additions. Would love to see a video on how you deal with finishing the astrolabe. Looking forward to new offerings from you, including new additions from the explorer. Joyce 😊 As always you do not disappoint. Take care and guard against those boo boos.

[@craftsbyxander]

Hi Joyce. How are you? ☺️ I was so pleased with that mystery box. I can definitely add the majority of things to my Explorer project. I have a video coming up real soon on that house. Just waiting for some free time to do the voiceover. I will 100% be making a video on the astrolabe. It looks like a simple but fun project to make and it will go well with an area of that house that I want to create. That will be coming soon. The sex shop shall return soon... I've been missing working on my explorer/Professor project so much so once I get that out of my system the sex shop will be back 😅 My hands look really soar in the video but it is not that red in real life. My camera makes reds look more vibrant than they are sometimes. I have been getting Psoriasis on my hands for the last couple of years. It first started when the hand sanitisers came in and me having to constantly use it for work. It is now getting slightly worse every month which is really frustrating, but summer isn't so far away and that clears it away for me for a while. 🌞🙏 I am so so sooooo ready for some sunshine🌞 I hope you are well ☺️

[@Mary-mv2kn]

Hope your doing well. Enjoy seeing what you got from temu and etsy ❤❤❤

[@craftsbyxander]

Hello Mary. I am.doung great thank you bery much. Plodding along waiting for spring to fully kick in. I am SO ready for some sunshine already!! How are you doing? ❤️❤️❤️

[@marygatdula2744]

Enjoyed seeing all the things you bought. I think those little bears are just too adorable! Amazing that they are made from pipe cleaners! The tiny "toothpicks" are actually called cocktail picks. In the U.S., our toothpicks are the same as yours. I think the one little cherub is holding a bird in its hand. And the ape skull looks like either an orangutan or a gorilla. Hmmm, it could even be a bigfoot! I'm definitely going to be searching Temu for some of those things. Thanks for sharing! And, yes, I watched it all. 😂

[@craftsbyxander]

Aren't they just BEAUTIFUL ❤️ I am still obsessing over them now. The cocktail sticks have already been put to use. I wish we had a choice of the two sizes. Our cocktail and toothpicks are the same product and I have always wanted the fancy ones you have in the US. These Chinese ones are not quite the same as how yours look to me. Yours look way more defined on the fancy end. I am going to Canada and Alaska in June though so I shall be popping into stores to stock up on them 😅 ooooooih yes I see the orangutan but I absolutely agree with you that it is a Big foot skull for sure! 😄

[@marygatdula2744]

@@craftsbyxander I got the cocktail sticks from Temu, and they are absolutely tiny! So nownI will look in the stores. I really want the bigger ones!

[@craftsbyxander]

@marygatdula2744 If yours are any different to the uks I will happily post you some. Here they are 2mm thick so just let me know

[@marygatdula2744]

@craftsbyxander The toothpicks here are probably 2mm, but it's hard to say because I don't have a caliper, just a ruler. But the cocktail sticks I got from Temu are about half the size of the tooth picks. I guess they would be about 1.5 mm (equal to 3/4 of an inch in 1:12 scale. I think).

[@TorchTaleMiniatures]

Enjoyed the long video, love seeing what others buy and use for miniatures. The bears at the end were brilliant , I’m currently converting an old house into a Teddy bear shop so I’ll be putting those on my list, thank you for sharing your haul.

[@craftsbyxander]

That sounds like a great project! Of you haven't already, definitely check out her things. I love every single one of them. So so sweet 🥰

[@Cina31373]

I make adult toys in 1:12 I was super excited to see some of littles for you're shop.

[@craftsbyxander]

😲 that's awesome 😁 do you have an esty store ?

[@juanitamedina6240]

I found you and subscribed immediately. I am mexican living in Panamá.

[@craftsbyxander]

Thank you so much Juan. Wellcome, and Hello from the UK 🥰

[@lori416]

Loved the long video. Favorite Temu item would have to be the large “fairy” with double wings but love the goth-ish nail decals too; favorite Etsy item definitely the skulls with candles.

[@craftsbyxander]

I am glad you didn't mind the longer video. I do worry when they are a little longer. I have such a short attention span I kinda expect everyone to switch off like I do 😅 That winged pendant is really cool. Definitely going to need to find a cool way to use it and I LOVE thise decals. VERY cool and right up my street

If you want to get different colour glass or acrylic and can not find the colour you want ( Amber or green etc ) Alcohol ink will do the job
