• Making 2 Miniature Uph...
What a dream come true! I was inspired to start my KZfaq channel after watching Bentley House Minis videos. I am so over the moon about this collaboration and the two signed chairs Ara made for me.
For this collaboration, Ara made things for my project: the Gryffindor Common Room in 1:12 scale. I made minis for Ara's 1:24 scale Fairfield dollhouse. Watch me make 20 half scale dollhouse miniatures using simple methods and everyday materials. These items would work well in 1:16 or 1:24 as well to fit your Lundby, Scandinavian Families, & R Bliss dollhouses. You could make any of these minis in 1:16 or 1:12 scale instead.
The crocheted blanket was made by TiffSniffer on Etsy
www.etsy.com/shop/tiffsniffer
1/2 scale retro table dimensions:
top: 1.25 in x .75 in
smaller top: .75 in x .5 in
The legs are .5 in long. The rails that hold the smaller top are 3/8 in long.
Double the dimensions to make a 1:12 scale version.
I'm modifying Ara's 1:12 scale fireplace room box to use as the Gryffindor Common Room

The crocheted afghan blanket in the thumbnail was made by TiffSniffer on Etsy. She made it specifically for the Fairfield in 1970s colors. She was fantastic to work with and very responsive. The cost of the blanket including shipping from Canada was only $15! Definitely check her out for any crochet mini needs.

The problem with the floor lamp is that the beads are too big compared to the lampshade. You can create a larger shade, but that might be too big for your room, or if you like the shade, you might want to make a new base using smaller beads or something else.

Lovely stuff! I think what is troubling you about the floor lamp is that the base is thick in proportion to the shade. You could either make a wider shade, and/or separate the shade from the base with a thinner piece between the base and where the bulb would be inside the shade. (Hope that makes sense!)
@queencityminis 10 ай бұрын
I think you're right. The beads on the base are quite big compared to the diameter of the shade.

@DawnDavidson 5 ай бұрын
@@queencityminis Having been a teen in the 1970’s, I think what’s wrong with it is indeed the proportions. The beads were perfect for the smaller lamp on the side table, but a bit thick for the floor lamp. I agree with this who say to make the shade bigger. The shade could also be much wider at the bottom. My sense of the floor lamp is that it might look more realistic with a wooden base, rather than the bead one. Something like a turned wood spindle/dowel would look great, especially with the fancy shade you made. I would make the very bottom base a bit larger as well, to help with the stability both here as the model, and also to look more realistic. My dad has one in his apartment that we’ve had ever since I can remember (I was born in 1962), and it is wooden with an off-white pleated shade. It also has an unusual but seriously useful round table top about half way up the center pole. The table is about the size of your existing lampshade, and should either meet or exceed the size of your base disk. It’s just big enough to create a place for setting your drink and a book. :) The beads would be about the right size and shape to do one of those multi-armed, multi-shade lamps as well (or instead). Three individual shades on three wire stalks that came together to form the center pole would be good. Those were popular in the 60’s, but also the 70’s. Some had as many as 5 lamps, but 3 was more common. Loved your bean bag chairs! I liked the shiny “pleather” look best. :)

The lamp looks "off" because the shade hits at the widest part of the bead. Your brain assumes the bulb would be at the top where it narrows, which puts the shade too low. A small spacer bead above the orange beads to move the bottom of the shade to a narrow part would fix it. Love all of these, especially the tables. 1/2 scale is my favourite. Great inspiration!

What a great video. I loved everything. My tip for making fringe is to find the color you want in fine woven fabric. Cut one end straight across the weave. Then unravel to the width of fringe you want. Put glue across the top and cut when dry. It ends up being a long piece and curves perfectly around circles or on straight edges for rugs, towels, etc.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE ALL THINGS '70's!!!!! 🎉 The side tables sent me back..... wwwaaaaaaaaaayy back! LOL 😂 the bean bag chair, OMG!!! The lava lamp is over the top and the BEST one DIY I've ever seen! Everything is just perfectly vintage and fits into the Fairfield like it's been there forever! The tall floor lamp you feel is "off" just needs some easy adjustment. If you're committed to the stand the shade will need to be made a bit longer and a bit wider. If your committed to the shade the stand circumference will need to be reduced quite a bit, almost a pole only or beads that are slim with a hole big enough to fit on the pole. The lampshade could really be used as a bedside table lamp or desk lamp. 😊

1970s floor lamps often had thinner stem. I would use 3 beads and thinner spacers between them putting spacer next to lampshade. I don't think it needed pull switch. It looked good with that pink button even before you painted it :) Lampshade you made is simply brilliant ♥ I think you felt there's something wrong because lamp stem is too think for lampshade and if you made lampshade bigger it would probably be off scale at this point. I absolutely loved table lamp that you made ♥ Mysterious plastic circle from sidewalk is either a plastic grommet or plumbing part from water tap. I found similar ones in water taps that I took apart some years ago. Might be part of a toy too.

Thank you! It was so much fun. Yes, you all figured it out. The shade needed to be bigger or the beads smaller. Someone pointed out the shade hits the bead at the widest point, which makes it look even more disproportionate.

Wow I'm always blown away by your creativity and how you make stuff. I keep buying pieces for my dolls house as I have been too scared to try and make them but I think I'm going to try and make something from scratch and see how I go
@queencityminis 10 ай бұрын
You should definitely give it a try! When I make minis, I tend to make a few things at the same time and keep adding details to each of the things I'm making. I added the videos and it looks like I did all of the steps in a row, but sometimes I went back days later and added another detail I thought of. I also display the best side of the miniature. And I hide ugly ones in the back 😆
@kathleenoconnor8155 10 ай бұрын
I love your videos, such ingenuity! I have only just recently started a doll house, and on today's video I noticed that you do not add electric cords to the lamps. I was in high school in the 70's, and the lava lamp cord would have been visible on the table it would be on, and I just wondered if the cords were omitted for a reason. Your color schemes are spot on for the 70's! Love your work!
@queencityminis 10 ай бұрын
I guess I just didn't think of the cords. I love adding little details, so I'll have to make sure to include that in the future for electronics. Thank you!

Im so glad I did, or I would still be watching and wishing! 😂🥰 I love your creations, the esthetics of how you both age miniatures has inspired me in so many of my miniatures. This was amazing! When Ara mentioned a collab with you, I was super excited and thought about the first time she shouted us out, when u messaged me, I could feel how excited you were.🥹 that was a year ago this month I believe. I loved this!!❤❤

The blobs inside lava lamps are wax. As it heats up it rises, reaches the top and begins to cool and sink again. I wonder if they'll be possible if we do away with incandescent light bulbs? The older easy bake ovens were heated with a 100watt light bulb even when I got my daughter one.

Love your little items. This really brought back a lot of memories. Beautiful! Those chairs that Ara made for you are gorgeous. Thank you! Ah... the 70s... and the decade of my 20s. I wasn't "into" a lot of the things you talked about, but they were in all the women's and decorating magazines. LOL Bead curtains. Coppercraft wall hangings. Handmade macrame plant tables and hanging chairs. Wicker peacock chairs. Inflatable plastic furniture. Lava lamps... with shiny silver glitter instead of blobs. Basement "rec rooms... with fake wood panelling. Those horrible orange or green shag rugs. Orange. Lime green and Navy. Beige and white (mostly macrame items). Tupperware parties and the Avon lady. There were quite a few companies with "home party" sales that arrived on the scene... crafting, toys, home decor, kitchen stuff, makeup... and a whole lot more. Yes... memories...

That's my teenage years and although l know it's decades ago now it still doesn't seem that long ago to me - l guess that's what happens as you get old!
