Thicketworks Studio | ⚒How to Make a Miniature Gothic Four Poster Bed⚒ @Thicketworks | Uploaded July 2019 | Updated October 2024, 5 hours ago.
Well, it feels great to be back! I've missed you. 😘
The past 10 days or so have been spent refining the design for the inaugural SVG Bundle offered through the Thicketworks Studio Etsy Shop. It's a LONG story, but the upshot is: a girl's gotta eat, so yep, we're going all COMMERCIAL! 😱 Not really. But sorta.
If you'd like to purchase this bundle, here's the link to the Blog Post where you can find ALL the info:

If you want ALL of the skinny about why this is happening, you can read this post, on Facebook:

Let's just dive right in, shall we?
In this video you'll discover all the steps required to turn the Miniature Gothic Bed SVG Bundle into this gloriously distressed 1:12 Scale Medieval Full Tester Bedstead.
The process is extremely similar to putting together one of those fancy laser cut chipboard kits, but a teensy bit more complex than most of them. Because, well, I couldn't help myself!😅
Of course, in order to build the thing, you'll need to purchase the bundle, cut all of the files, and assemble them according to the instructions here - BUT, I share some interesting techniques in this video that can be applied to any number of projects, even if you HATE Medieval Splendor.
My favorite technique? Creating an absorbent ground on a flimsy chipboard surface, using super cheap and readily available supplies. Yep.
Then, I go all crazy with the Gilding Thingie - (even though I'm the world's SLOPPIEST gilder!)...because: GOLD!
Anyway, I hope that you enjoy the process - it's been a gigantic effort behind the scenes to bring this one into the world, and I am super happy about it!
