DIY Miniature Acoustic Guitar (made with popsicle sticks!)

Hi guys! I’m sooo excited to share this video of a DIY miniature acoustic guitar made with REAL wood. No polymer clay tutorial here! It’s made using just a few simple supplies (popsicle sticks, coffee stirrers, thread, etc) that most of us already have. I hope you enjoy this video!

I think starting of her Project isn't impossible to build a real miniature of an acoustic guitar.If the sound box was a little higher,is possible to build the ressonance parts,and using fishing lines of different spessures..Isnt impossible.

The detail is great , i carve them out of hardwood which the color of the grain can be beatiful when sanded up to 12,000 grit ..i never posted my work , but made some for my wife with a heart sound hole and the wood was 2 colors ..guitar/bass single piece of wood . But these guitars are so cool .Excellent ..

I play guitar and trying to put the strings through the tuners is hard enough but you do a tiny version with nails props to you

[@bufferkiller]

1. Fundamentally, the steps you used are the same ones luthiers use to build functioning guitars. 2. I am totally going to make a ton of these to go with each gift my son and I give to our family and friends.

Plus I really enjoy your videos. You're great 👍🏻

[@TheSquaretoSpare]

Exactly! You got it! :) Smaller, less strings, and less fret. You can totally do all the same steps to make it!

Completely different shape and design dimensions are incredibly different and both are the exact opposite of similar.

when you roll sand paper dont use a dowel inside,but once in the hole rotate it on the opposite direction you rolled it in. the paper will expand to the size of the hole making for a quicker cut and accurate circle..coming from a wood pattern maker

That's such a great tip! Thank you so much for that! :D Leave it to a wood pattern make to have the best advice ^-^
