Learn how to make realistic stones from cheap Dollar Tree foam board. These stones could be used on the exterior of a dollhouse, a stone wall, patio, or chimney.
Transform a cheap battery-operated tea light from the dollar store into a realistic fire pit complete with burned, ashy logs & flickering flames. There are so many tips & tricks to see!
Some of my favorite things:
Double-sided flooring tape
amzn.to/423tJwL
Miter Shears: these are the clippers I use to cut pieces of wood and toothpicks, etc
amzn.to/3sQJnhe
Dirty Down Rust Effect paint
amzn.to/3xjxOBu
Oyu Pla/Oyumaru reusable mold putty
amzn.to/44KaaJz
Cheaper, clear mold putty I haven't tried
amzn.to/45JiAlB
2 oz bottle of Diamond Glaze
amzn.to/3zmMLR1
8 oz bottle of Diamond Glaze
amzn.to/3zpiMbm
Heat gun: I use mine to quickly dry paint, soften the glue to dismantle furniture, and quickly cure polymer clay without an oven. It gets a lot hotter than a hair dryer.
amzn.to/3YBAIcH
Craft heat gun that doesn't get as hot as mine
amzn.to/3ZZ5wWe
Paper fasteners & 1/8" hole punch

Another way to make flames is to squeeze out flame shapes of hot glue on a silicone mat (or a piece of hard plastic) and color them with alcohol inks when they're cooled. (Stick the whole thing in the freezer for a few minutes to speed the cooling process.) I drop just a tiny drip of ink on the glue and then quickly wipe it with a torn piece of paper towel or napkin - the torn edge helps to feather the ink. To attach them just add a little more hot glue to the bottom edge and press in place. Your firepit turned out great! Can't wait to see where it ends up.

I'm not a miniaturist but I love, love, love your creativity, humor and especially your skill, attention to detail and your ability to bring your scenes to life with those tiny extras. I do a lot of other crafts and I have learned so many new skills from you that I now apply. I am the recent, very happy owner of my first heat gun and set of 123 blocks. I don't know how I lived (or crafted) without them. I've tried my hand at paint "washes" and popsicle stick floors. I'm getting better with practice! I'm so glad that your videos popped up as a suggestion.

Instead of newspaper and egg carton, I used thin but tough un-dyed cardstock and Readi-Board, with Weld Bond for glue. It worked perfectly, and I am in your debt for saving me many days of individual brick laying.

I definitely suggest it! I recommend trimming the foam core to fit on the house, holding it temporarily with tape, tracing the stones where the corners meet, but doing most of the shaping with the foam board detached. It's a lot easier to work on a tabletop vs vertical walls.

This turned out really well! I've been looking everywhere for these types of flickering tealights but haven't been lucky to spot any near me! Would love to try making this someday!

This turned out brilliantly, I already have a well in my diorama so this would be a great addition as medieval people had to heat water for washing, both themselves and clothing etc, so this is perfect, I just have to work out how they suspend things over fires because I think wooden tripods would burn? I could be wrong however lol!

I do plan to make a fire spit. I was thinking of using two eye pins for the side pieces and probably a third eye pin to hold food.

I made ash and coal by putting baking powder and black acrylic paint together. Let dry on silicone or something else it won’t stick to then break it up. Also hot glue makes great flames and color the light bulb too

Another great vid and learned something again! I always check out Poundland (here in UK) and the larger stores/supermarkets for 'out of season' fairy and tea lights which is especially good when starting out. Hope to progress onto wiring my own lighting set ups in the future. Tea lights certainly help enhance miniature structures that would otherwise be somewhat lifeless; if ya get me drift?! I used one in a Celtic roundhouse I made (apart ffrom the tea light, all from scratch) and it really looks like someone's home! Thanks again for sharing! ❤

As always, this is so brilliant. Also I almost peed myself laughing when you said „if it looks like FrootLoops you‘re on the right track“ because literally the second before I was thinking „hmmm, looks like FrootLoops“ 😂😂😂
