[@lolasworldofminis]

Such fun! My 8-year old daughter watched this one with me and said “she has different nails!” 💅 nice nails 😅

[@littlegretchensworkshop7665]

LOLOLOLOL!!! Yes, tell i do change my nails quite often! I used to do nails professionally but after i got back into Crafting and Dollhousing it was alot to keep up! Trying to be Glamorous and a Artist is a challenge! LOLOLOLOLOL!!!

How KIND OF YOU!!! THAT IS SO ENCOURAGING 😊❤️! I do ALOT of things l did as child! It's wonderful to know those things are still relevant! I appreciate your Kind words of encouragement!!

[@michaelyoung1552]

The first video I was agog about was using drink carrier cardboard for stones and bricks!! And how much quicker the method is over carving foam or plaster.... with WAY better results! My dear, you've got a new follower! Thank you again.

[@cynthiajuarez5855]

Very nice and creative way to create decor items for a miniature doll house or diorama!!!

[@littlegretchensworkshop7665]

Thank you Sandy 🤗I have been creating things since i was a child and i learned to use what i have to make what i needed! I appreciate you for watching!

[@arlycesuedel6518]

How clever. great idea for miniature items. I made a small crochet granny square blanket for my parents who built a doll house as a replica of the NYC brownstone they lived in. Thanks for sharing your talent!!

[@littlegretchensworkshop7665]

Thank you! WOW! BROWNSTONE DOLLHOUSE!!! That sounds BEAUTIFUL!! I wish I had the patience to crochet something as LOVELY as a Granny square blanket! What a wonderful talent! Thank you for sharing!!!

[@msamelienp]

Those little lamps are fantastic. I've got tons of beading supplies & findings, so my dolls will have all the lamps they need.

[@littlegretchensworkshop7665]

Have FUN and watch as you are creating the LAMPS ,you will SEE other great things among the BEADS and Findings.......ENJOY!

[@MoniqueAO888]

So well done...thanks for the video !!!

[@littlegretchensworkshop7665]

Glad you enjoyed it! ☺️💖 Thank you for watching!!!

[@Washington973]

I think the lamps were called hurricane lamps. Originally kerosene was used back in the 1800’s. They are very romantic. I’d like one with peach background and purple flower.

[@littlegretchensworkshop7665]

Thank you yes they work on hurricane lamps!!! I truly love anything Victorian, old fashioned and vintage! I appreciate you so much for being here and allowing me to share!💖💖💖

[@anniscrawford4210]

You are so creative and such an inspiration. Keep up the good work!

[@littlegretchensworkshop7665]

Thank you so much! That is So encouraging to hear! Thanks again!

[@meowza7266]

Every video of yours that I've watched, I've enjoyed.. I love making things from scraps too. I've made pans and books from thin cardboard, furniture from match boxes and other things too.. Once I made a 1/48 scale murphy bed from a small matchbox. I had cut out all these pretty borders and other designs from magazines to decorate it and i used some of that foam stuff from a ring box as the mattress.. that bed was so pretty. It was black, purple and tan..... I wish we had a way to post pictures in the comments. I have a few pieces I know you'd love as much as I do.

[@littlegretchensworkshop7665]

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SUCH A SWEET COMPLIMENT! That you Have enjoyed every video you watched! I am working really hard to give you a better experience than when i 1st started! This Comment is So encouraging! I Would LOVE TO SEE PICTURES of your work! i and currently working on creating a group page so we can post and also an opportunity for MY DOLLS to talk to me LIVE! I will announce it when everything is set up! Thank you for watching and you feed back!

[@SabaBushnaq]

[@littlegretchensworkshop7665]

Thank you for allowing me to share! 💖☺️

[@CassandrajustCassandra]

Those turned out exceptional! I know how it is with the rub n buff lol, it starts turning up everywhere. The painted lamps you made remind me of lamps my mother has that belonged to my great-grandmother. She uses them on night stands because the top and bottom sections work independently based on how many times you pull the chain. The top light is softer if you need a night light. I love your trash to treasure videos, they are so inspiring ☺️

[@littlegretchensworkshop7665]

WOW! what an Awesome memory to have! I have always loved Antiques! Thanks for sharing that Cassandra!

[@barbkeith2697]

These are some excellent ideas! I have boxes and boxes of beads and broken jewelry. I also have boxes and boxes of “bits and bobs” as my dollhouse friends across the pond say. Once I’m done getting all my rooms done in my house, the tiny detail assembly will begin. Thanks for your wonderful ideas! ❤

[@littlegretchensworkshop7665]

That's a great idea! I have never done that!!! LOLOLOLL!!! I have a tendency to make ALL or most of my accessories and collect furniture before the project starts. Making tiny accessories is sort of like immediate gratification. To fill a box with tiny treasures and save them for the big unveiling!

[@BejaVue]

These are all so beautiful!❣️

[@littlegretchensworkshop7665]

Thank you! 😊 And there's so much fun too! I hope you try it they so simple but really rewarding!!!

[@littlegretchensworkshop7665]

THANK YOU TERESA!!!💖

[@livinglife8333]

So much fun,this is my favorite pastime. For candles you can use hallow sucker sticks. I’ve added a twirled dot of hot glue to the top as the flame and the jewelry spacers as the sconce. If you are really wanting them to light up you can add a seed bulb and feed the wire thru the hollow of the sucker stick and then thru the spacer. Dot of hot glue to the bulb painted a light yellow. Battery and you have lite candles.

[@littlegretchensworkshop7665]

THANK YOU for the Candle idea! I've used Q-tips but never sucker sticks. Hollow Sucker sticks sounds like a better size than the Q-tips. Plus I've never made one light up either, so i will put that on my list to try! Thanks again

[@AngMcintosh]

Gosh it would be so fun to play with you! I could glue beads all day! Love it. You are so talented!

Really elegant! I’m trying to figure out lighting for one of my houses and thinking about making working lamps too!

[@littlegretchensworkshop7665]

Thank you! It was so much FUN! Definitely do that! I have never made a working light. I buy LED battery lights. "Living Life" just gave me idea of making candle with seed bulb! I've gotta try it!

[@thecraftingnook6495]

I love these 😁

[@littlegretchensworkshop7665]

THANK YOU! I hope you make some!!! Let me know!!!

[@mordrunkenblade]

Picked up 6 large divided containers full of random beads and bobbles from the local thrift shop for under $20… I’m using the technique(s) You are showing to make potion, perfume bottles and candle stick holders for My RPG houses. I used some thin 1/4” long white beads for candles… touched the top with My hot glue gun and painted for a flame 🔥 effect. Thanks for letting Us see Your work😁

[@littlegretchensworkshop7665]

I LOVE THAT! I do the same thing! Awesome technique! Such a coincidence I plan to do a perfume bottle video soon! Great minds think alike! I have so much more to share, I truly appreciate you for letting me know you are enjoying this!
