Hi,
in this video I use images and patterns cut out from an old decoration magazine to make miniatures.
My next video will also be on this theme because I couldn't put all the miniatures made with my magazine in this video.
As the video is quite long, use the time markers below to jump straight to the parts that interest you.
Thanks for watching this video, I hope you enjoyed it.
Happy crafting!

@@mfamilysminis You're welcome - glad I could help. I try to avoid painting whenever possible because it's so messy and time consuming. The same with glue. For paper projects, I use permanent double-sided tape instead of glue, and it's really easy to pinch off tiny little pieces for miniatures.

I’m so impressed by the clever and thrifty way you use magazines. I like to take the stamp-sized stickers that come with self-stick return address labels (from donating to DAV) and put them on magnets that come in the mail, (they are flexible and can be cut with a scissors.)

I'm enjoying your minis. A single cut to the center of the paper (as if you were making the first cut when slicing a pie) will eliminate the crinkle when covering the concave plastic pieces you made into plates. I'm referring to the candle images you used as the design.

I love that book you've made with tissue paper for gluing your favourite images into. When you cut them out, do you take them off the tissue paper or leave it on? Those Chinese style ceramic pots you made are gorgeous. I use Judikins Diamond Glaze too and it really is good stuff, especially with its 3D effect. 😢

@mfamilysminis 4 ай бұрын

Thank you for your comment.😊 As the glue is of cheap quality, when I want to remove the images, I just have to gently pull on them and they come off with sometimes a little tissue paper remaining stuck in places but that doesn't matter . I suppose you could also leave the tissue paper and cut around the image. The tissue paper is so thin that it will not interfere with making the miniature. I love diamond glaze too, it’s so useful! 💞💞

@mfamilysminis 11 ай бұрын

@@melissaphillips3912 Hi, it's tissue paper. As I live in France, I don't know what you have in the USA to wrap gifts but here it is exactly this type of fabric that I use. It can be found in shoe boxes, for example. If you are unsure I recommend doing a test first with a piece of magazine that you don't plan to keep. Be careful to use school glue sticks because the glue must be of poor quality so as not to stick forever! 😅 Let me know if it worked and if you were able to create your pattern notebook!

it sounds like the AI of "English With Lucy" - I don't know if she knows or has been paid. The AI can't pronounce "choice" or "miniatures" in a human way, amongst other things - and as an English person this is too obvious. I've come across a common advertisement on my Wordle that is the AI of Princess Diana's voice - too funny.

Thank you for your comment on the voiceover. I was wondering if this is too disturbing! Yes, it's generated by AI because I can write a text in English but it's still difficult for me to read it aloud. In addition to my pronunciation difficulties, I still lack too much self-confidence... If I have many negative feedback about the voiceover, I may force myself to try with my own voice but my accent may be even more disturbing!😅 Or maybe I'll settle for music and subtitles!😋 I'm glad you like my ideas! 💕
