Hi! My name is Shyra of Queen City Minis. Learn how to make books using foam core, no-sew pillows, curtains and more for your dollhouse. All the items I make in this video are 1:12 scale but you can scale them up or down to work in your space.
I have been toiling away learning how to film and edit videos for KZfaq. I have lots of projects planned ranging from abandoned miniatures to sculpted clay animals and Dollhouse Miniatures in multiple scales. I also have a large Harry Potter build planned for 1" scale.
Please Like & Subscribe to support my efforts and so you don't miss out on future videos.
Thank you,
Shyra

The books remind me of my fuzzy diary I had back in the early 90’s as a kid. They turned out so pretty.

I had a fuzzy pink diary myself! Now I feel nostalgic

lol. You did a wonderful job. I have learned a lot from you. Thank you for such a wonderful channel. I started with building half scale models from Hobby Lobby in November. I have completed 8 so far. You gave me the courage to throw out the instructions to number 9. I’m pretty much doing it from scratch. Just bought the kit for materials.

I'm always drying paint with my hair dryer and assembling items that have wet glue. It's not easy being so impatient!

Well these are just adorable and I'm barely into your tutorial, but I was too impatient to wait till the end of it. Lol. I relate, especially when I work with air-dry clay that has to wait 24 hours to dry! Beautiful work wonderful ideas. LOVE those books! Now I watch the rest of it. 😊

And some of these techniques are already used to made tarps, kit-bags, canvas truck cargo covers, etc. Of course, mine are a bit tattered/torn/beat-up looking on purpose and were soaked in cold coffee for a bit and wrung out but you made it easy for me. My sister gave me a bag full of material scraps from her sewing...
