I will demonstrate why it's dangerous to craft without patience pants🤣 This video will demonstrate what happens when it's all done the wrong way. 😂 It's ok, we're all dolly friends🤭

Hello Dot, you deserve a 10 out of 10 for effort 🥇, I think your experiment was really good, it showed you and us what works and what doesn't, I think they all looked quite good in the end. Glue is my Nemesis, I even get glue strings with super glue 🙄 🤬 I have trouble getting things to stick where I want them to no matter what sort of glue I use. Charlotte's cottage will be beautiful in the end. I love the bloopers 😂 Have a wonderful weekend. Best wishes from Yorkshire, England 🇬🇧 😊

Hi Diane🤗 Aw thanks for the effort medal 😂🤣 What doesn't work is everything in this video. lol. They must look much worse in person because I don't like them at all after grouting. I like both moss methods for the roof so I may combine them. I have a love/hate relationship with glue but I mostly disregard hot glue altogether. Charlotte is particular so if she's disappointed she might make me re- do everything, and I can't have that 😂 Have a great weekend in Yorkshire! 🥰✨

That was hilarious 😂 to eliminate the glue strings you need to make a circle or two with the glue gun, two quick circles using your wrist that usually separates the glue and doesn’t form any strings, it gets some getting used to I have been using a glue gun for over 30 years and it’s become like second nature before I pull the glue gun away I form those two circles very quickly and it seems to cut the glue string, this technique works 90% of the time😊 hope this helps you

Thanks Kara! 🤗 That is very helpful advice. I will consult my brain, as it is responsible for all motor connections, to see if there's room for learning more. 🤣 I sure hope there is or I won't be progressing much in my dollhousing! 🤭🥰✨

I think they all look good at the end. The bark was my favourite. Best idea to do samples before the actual project. I'd have gone gun how and done something straight on the project and messed it up 😂. I'm enjoying your videos and your sense of humour 😊

Hi Jules🤗 So kind of you to say so. I liked the bark too..I still may use it on the project. It's not my normal practice to sample in this way but I thought it would be quick and easy- it wasn't! 🤣🥰✨

Patience pants? I don’t think I’ve ever had that clothing item in my closet! 😂😂😂. Where do I purchase them?! I rarely ever use a hot glue gun on mini builds … I don’t have the finesse (patience?! ) and on the desperate (highly impatient) occasions I’ve tried it, the glue doesn’t adhere over time. The bark and egg carton techniques both look great! I saw videos (channel names …gone from my memory, of course!) several months ago about using an old bath towel to create a cottage’s thatched roof! It was pretty darn authentic looking! You are a trooper, Dot! Whew! And your sense of humor is an extra treat! Can’t wait to see the sweet cottage progress! Love ya! ❣️Kathleen

@thedollcupboard 2 ай бұрын

Aw thanks for the validation Kathleen! 🤗 The last time I took out that hot glue gun was to lend it to someone. 😂 I've been working on the cottage, taking an inordinate amount of time to do things 🙃 I'm in the waiting for all the glue to dry phase...the WORST PART! 😲😬🤞🏻😅💕

The painted egg carton looked like pastel flower petals. Very pretty! But I guess not what you were going for. 😄 I never use hot glue--don't like the stuff. Your saga was hilarious!! I guess you can console yourself that all your craft debacles make entertaining videos! Hang in there, Dot! ❤

Siennaflower! 🤗 I almost didn't post this one, but I needed to laugh instead of cry over it 😅 It wasn't even the actual project! An excellent experiment for me. I didn't realize it would be a more psychological vs practical study. 😂 I never did like hot glue, what was I thinking?! 🥰✨

Okay Dot I used egg cartons on my walls in the kitchen . All I did was start in a brick pattern like you did with glue. Then I watered some glue down put some egg carton pieces in the water down glue . Let them get saturated and then layer them on into the cracks .This technique is very forgiving and fun. Try it out you may like it.I hope this helps you out 💕💕💕💕

Dearest Grace🤗 This is a wonderful idea! I wondered about this type of technique, but my brain, in its wisdom, stopped me from going there and further humiliating myself. 😂This gives me a better idea how to do it I AM going to proceed with the cottage exterior 🤞🏻 Here's hoping! 🥰✨

Your intro for this was disturbing, yet hilarious (at least to me) in an adorable way. ❤ And there are no fails here. (I thought most of them looked lovely) You never know when one of those are just perfect for a future project. It was a great idea to make some trials/samples. (Something I probably wouldn't have done.. I lost my patience pants. Gotta get a new pair.😹) You tried a lot of items that I never would have thought of. Thanks for sharing.

@thedollcupboard 2 ай бұрын

Hi Sandy!🤗 Exactly! Disturbing yet hilarious! That's me. Lol. I truly appreciate your kind and encouraging words. They do look much worse in person 🤣 but I did learn that patience pants are essential for me. Now, to find some...🤔🥰✨🥳

Hi Deb🤗 I wonder what I'm thinking sometimes but then I'm already in it, so to speak. 😆 I like the bark too and will be including it on the cottage exterior. I like using natural things and things I find. I see minis everywhere. Hot glue guns are only good for lending to other people that want to use them. 😂😂😂🥰

That's okay- I spent a few hours deciding on simple additions to a shelf unit- let it dry. turned it over to cut the excess trim, and cut off the part that I needed on there also. And did both sides before I realized it. I sympathize with your adventure. Now I have to do everything over, after I get the remnants unglued.
