Real Life Dollhouse Miniatures
Polymer Clay and Paper Dollhouse Miniature Strawberry Pot
updated
I used several wooden coffee stir sticks, jumbo popsicle sticks, wooden pic sticks, toothpicks, paper towels, beads, and paint to complete this project.

I am using a wooden vase from Walmart, but use what you have on hand...I also considered a round wooden bead and 2 buttons for example. Get creative!

I did a lot of research on this and pestered some aquarium affectionados as well as some fish supply vendors. This will actually work in a freshwater aquarium as long as your resin is mixed and cured properly and your glues are completely dry, but you do want to make sure to keep up with your water changes to remove any chemicals and excess salt that may reside in the plastic, resin, and sand.

I also used:
1. Tube of 5 Christmas Ornaments
2. 2 Containers of Gel Water Beads
3. Nail Polish
From around the house:
1. Super glue
2. Glue Sticks (3)
Special instructions: My alien has been in its jar for 3 days with very few changes. Do not be tempted to use paint! I initially used paint for the eyes that I covered with clear nail polish, but that's why the eyes are cloudy (which I personally kinda like). The water beads expand rapidly with the addition of water and continue to expand as they soak. Leave room at the top of your container to allow for this. Otherwise, they overflow and bounce everywhere.
4. Rhinestones

I removed a lot of pieces from this so its almost unrecognizable as the original Dollar Tree desk and I also added a lot of pieces. Because of the amount of changes and detail, this video is longer than the other pieces I have made in this series.
Working on a recap video today...hopefully it will be up tonight.
This was the easiest of all of these so far since I only added some drawers and the hutch. I knocked it out yesterday afternoon and still had time to edit the video before bedtime.
I reference digging in my trash (don't judge me!) for pieces discarded in this video:
youtube.com/edit?o=U&video_id=2JFk3Xxu6AU
I'm using:
jute $1 Dollar General
large spool $2 WalMart
coffee stir sticks free - $8 Trader Joes, Wholefoods Grab a handful of 6 or 7 or buy a box of 1000 online at Ebay or Amazon...I've been using the same box for a year now and I'm only about halfway through.
Changing table video:
youtube.com/watch?v=0XVvgGoewZU&t=12s
I'm using:
6mm jumprings $2 Michaels
super glue gel $3 Michaels
epoxy adhesive $2 Dollar General
gold enamel paint $2 Michaels
Furry cat toy $2 Dollar General
If this is just a piece for display and decoration, you can use the superglue, but for actual use to hold a doll or to move around the superglue will not hold it, that is why I added the epoxy adhesive.
Please allow the superglue to dry for about an hour before adding the epoxy. Allow the epoxy to dry for 20 minutes before adding the enamel. Allow the enamel to dry overnight.

I used green copy paper and wire for all of the plants except for the hostas. I used aluminum tape for that one just so the leaves would curl and because the deeply veined texture shows up better. We Love Miniatures also provides a Hostas tutorial and a printout so you can always use their pattern as well.

Special thanks to Mr. YK at Copyright Free Central (youtube.com/channel/UCXTBtwLGxp_bljxRgDnbYfQ) for the suggestion in making this. It is a new channel specializing in Copyright free music for you YouTube videos of blogs.
If things go as planned there will be 2 videos on this Thursday because I am considering running a monthly series. Likely, I will run a poll on Thursday as well about this. There will also be a bonus video early in the week as I am nearing 1 million views.
Notes about the video:
I'm using the plastic poster frame my son broke a few months ago when we first moved. I've had it for years, but it was purchased at Wal Mart, and I'm pretty sure it was this one.
walmart.com/ip/Mainstays-16x20-Basic-Poster-and-Picture-Frame-Black/42247802
Use sharp scissors to cut to minimize cracking, but the resin will fill in and cover small cracks and scratches.
If you wish to use plastic packaging, just use 2 thin coats of resin on the plastic pieces instead of 1, allowing the resin to partially cure between coats.
At the very end of the video is a clip that I did not notice until after publishing. Its not a blooper, just a bit of film that I used in the video that I hadn't muted. My 4 year old is singing London Bridge on it. I just decided to leave it instead of republishing because he can be thoroughly embarrassed by it in another 2-3 years.
I think I'm back to my regular upload schedule again providing I can work the narrating out every week so you can expect a new video every Thursday and Sunday and probably a couple of bonuses that I made and recorded but haven't edited yet. I'm excited! I have serious withdrawal when I'm not making miniatures!

I have 2 more sink designs I will be showing in the coming months so stay tuned if you don't like the pedestal style. My next video will likely go up on Thursday if I can finish it up today. The next props video will show at the end of August and I will show you the soap dish, towel rack, and backsplash then. Thanks for watching!
I made this video nearly 2 weeks ago but I could not post it yet. My computer is having some issues. I cannot record and I cannot hear on it anymore. A couple of days ago this crashed and would not boot up for 3 days. To get the sound on, I had to utilize another computer (not mine). I can either continue to produce videos on a regular basis without sound and to go back and fix them later if I can or I can just wait until the craziness of the move and enrolling my son in school is over and try to purchase a new computer when my finances are more stabilized (October or November) before continuing to record anymore. Let me know what you would prefer. Fortunately, the next videos after this one (an ice cream shop display) has sound.
If you'd like to help and are able, I have 2 options for you. You can comment, subscribe, and leave a thumbs up on both videos today and share them on social media. This helps to bring additional views to the video which YouTube will eventually pay me for. I have also set up a Go Fund Me account specifically for a computer because I'd love to replace it before it dies on me again. If you would rather PayPal, send to chatoyantartistry@gmail.com Every donation would be deeply appreciated.

1. I get asked often I sell miniatures to the public and while I occasionally take on commissions, in general I don't sell things. I thought it would be nice is I started doing a small artist spotlight to some amazing miniature artisians to do sell. I'm doing 2 a month. I'm super excited about my first spotlight...CSpykersMiniaturesUS who sells her creations on Etsy. She's super talented and really a kind and sweet individual who does everything in her means to help others around her. She's a total doll. I encourage you all to check out her Etsy shop, see what she makes, and support her!

2. This video went up before with no narration and not the updated version where I'd changed the music a minute in. Everybody hated it...but I quickly saw that no one read the description box where I said my sound card was not working because the comments were all to record in a different way except my computer is not recording at all. I cannot record and I cannot hear on it anymore either. Then, before I could get the next video up, the whole computer crashed and would not boot up for 3 days. To get the sound on, I had to utilize another computer (not mine). I can either continue to produce videos on a regular basis without sound and to go back and fix them later if I can or I can just wait until the craziness of the move and enrolling my son in school is over and try to purchase a new computer when my finances are more stabilized (October or November) before continuing to record anymore.

2. 10,000 subscribers! Thank you so much! I am so flattered and humbled! I am grateful to each and every one of you! It was my intention to do a giveaway at this milestone but I've got waaayyyy too much going on (keep reading) so I'll have to do one at a later milestone.
3. Unfortunately, this video and the one following has music but no narration. After I added the music something happened and it would not record me nor can I hear any sounds from the video either. This laptop is pretty old though and it's on its last leg. However, having just completed moving from Texas to South Carolina and trying to get my son in school, it's not in the cards to replace right now and for several months down the line. I'm sorry. I will get things replaced as soon as I can or I'll have to discontinue the videos until I can make other arrangements. I hate to be tacky, but if you'd like to help and are able, I have set up a Go Fund Me account specifically for a computer because I'd love to replace it before it dies on me. Every donation would be deeply appreciated.

You will notice a sound difference in my video. For some reason my computer stopped recording and I went through 2 different microphones to capture my voice.

Oddly enough, I couldn't get my computer to record on that video either. A pumpkin curse, maybe?

See you all again soon! I've got 2 videos edited and ready to post this week and I'm working on a 3rd project to post next week for you! Thanks again for your continued support and views!
This is a kit that Banggood sent me to assemble and review and I actually had a LOT of fun with it! It's smaller than my regular scale, so it stands at about 5.5 inches fully assembled. I hope you guys enjoy it as much as I did.
If you're interested in trying this kit out for yourself, you can order it here:

I'll be back soon with another collaboration and then something for the kitchen so hang tight and know that I'm catching up! I will hopefully be back to 2 videos a week by late August.

In order to shorten the time on this video, I do skip on some of the steps that you have seen me do before in other projects, but You should get the general idea of what I'm doing. I'm using wood, resin, dried grasses, sand, paper and caulk to create this scene. To reduce the weight of it, I am using wood that I've textured like stone for the walls of the fountain and the lantern.
