Penny's Small Spaces
Приєднався 19 бер 2022
I started my miniature journey when my then 3 year old granddaughter ‘wished for a dollhouse’. I fell down a rabbit hole that I never want to come back out of. I honed my craft watching other miniaturists on UA-cam, and now here I am with my own channel. I hope you enjoy what you see, and are inspired to dig out some tools and follow along!
Friends Project Part 1 - Building Monica and Rachel's apartment in 1:24 scale!
My daughter Ashli is a HUGE fan of the show "Friends". Her birthday is coming and I wanted to make her something in miniature. I think she will love this mini Friends apartment for her book shelf. She doesn't have a ton of room so this will be in 1:24 scale. I think she will love it!

Following your pattern I made a loveseat and chair . Pillows to come
@@jillnich1 Love it! ❣️
❤😊
How did you make the knobs?
@@AshleyQuiles-i2f Hi Ashley, the knobs are made out of a round wood dowel that is about 8mm in diameter. I cut off 10 pieces with my miter saw that were 3mm in width. If you move to the 8:13 mark in the video, you will find the instructions. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks!💚
I’m following the build of your grandmother’s farmhouse with great interest. I have learned so much already and can’t wait to see the final piece. Your videos are informative and relaxing to watch. Thanks for sharing all you do, not just building miniatures but also telling the stories of your summers with her. Greetings from the Netherlands.
@@moortube I’m so happy that you are enjoying the Homestead series! It was a real labour of love for me to make that little house.💚
Love working with cardboard especially scrap boxes, if it goes wrong, no guilty about the expense. I admire the fact that you have a plan l seldom do and spend a lot of time redoing things or starting over. 😂 Will watch your plan take shape and learn!🤞
@@coby9896 Whether my ‘Plan’ works or not remains to be seen, 😂. Right now I’m just crossing my fingers and hoping for the best! But you are right, if I loose some pieces due to my terrible measuring skills, I can just pull out another box. (My husband refuses to throw away a good box, and to him, they are ALL “a very good box”)💚
An exciting new project, thank you, I’ll look forward to following along as always. I love your methodical, logical planning. I bet your daughter is excited to see the progress too!.?❤
@@wendywalker3598 Thank you Wendy! Yes she is very excited about the project and has already cleared a space on her book shelf. (She has grossly underestimated how long these things can take, 😂) 💚
Thank you Penny. Meticulous as always ❤
@@lindahart7133 Thank you my friend, I appreciate you!!💚
Those are called brads. Love your videos!!! Thank you!
@@Ktamsor2 Thank you so much!💚
My youngest daughter would love this. I want to make a Big Bang Theory miniature for me.
@@nannettenielsen216 Another great show! My daughter was born the same year that Friends premiered in 1994. It is a timeless classic. I suspect that people will be watching TBBT for years to come as well! Good luck on your build!
Project and/or craft medium fatigue is absolutely real. Sometimes you just have to switch things up to find your mojo again. Can’t wait to see how this turns out. Cardboard is an awesome material. So versatile.
@@lori416 I’m on a bit of a learning curve but so far the cardboard has been pretty easy to work with. It’s nice to hear from you Lori!💚
I can hardly wait to see this finished. I love your talent. So many ideas as I want to build the little house on the prairie house. I have the paper version but thot cardboard would be much sturdier.
@@sheilaolmstead8851 Thank you Sheila! Awe, I loved Little House as a kid. What a great project to do!💚
So many good tips
@@judylloyd2528 Thank you! 💚
Penny, Penny, Penny! I don't know how long it took you to devise the method you are using, BUT I have worked out the same; method - down to the tape method. And it has taken me a solid year to just devise the theory - I haven't even put knife to corrugated yet! The only difference is that my project is going to be much (MUCH) larger. Thank you for showing me (and the rest of you UA-cam Family) that this is a viable method. PS I hope to share my project on UA-cam, as it is not so much a dolls house as it is an homage to a family home and a way of life that is long past.
@@georgecunningham9175 Thanks George, it’s all just trial and error at this point. PLEASE share your UA-cam channel name 🙏. I would love to see what you are up to! 💚
I like your new name more than the old one. 🙂
@@lifeinminiboxes Thank you! I kind of like it myself!💚
Have you considered adding a larger face on front of your drawers. That would hide any gaps. Additionally, it could even out the drawer spacing.
@@kimberlyforrest3676 It is a balancing act to get the fronts close enough to each other to reduce the gap, and still being able to open the drawers without them rubbing together. 🤷🏻♀️
Excellent!
@@bethrundle5560 Thank you!
Hi Penny, long-time subscriber here, love your channel. I actually made this chair, but not without some confusion. It seems that in your description cutting list, you need to say to cut 2 backs, 2 bases, 2 seats, and 4 arms (not 2). Might save others some trouble in the future because it says to cut 1 of everything except the arms. Best wishes to you and thanks so much for all your wonderful videos.
@@deniselocke559 Hi Denise, thank you so much for catching that error. I appreciate that so much! I have made the change in the cutting instructions. Have an amazing day!💚
@@pennyssmallspaces Penny, so glad if my comment was helpful. I am also wondering - you have the seat depth 3mm shorter than the base depth - so the seat I just made doesn't come to the front of the base because it is 42mm instead of 45 like the base. I will have to remake it at 45mm, because I see in the video that your seat is the same depth as the base, yes? Which would make the dowel lengths also 45.
@@deniselocke559 Oh geez, you are right again! I had to pull out the chair and re-measure to be sure. If you watch that part of the video, I actually wrote 45mm on the piece so why I typed 42 is a mystery. Again my apologies! 🙈
@@pennyssmallspaces No problem, I still appreciate you, ha ha. I had made this chair about a year ago and didn't remember that I had had issues with the measurements. I'm making it again now, in faux white leather, and can't wait to see how it comes out. Thank u for your responses and all the wonderful work u do for us.
Gently heat the vinyl a little before sticking the wood on.
@@intrinsicparanormal I will definitely try that for the dishwasher. Thank you for the tip!!💚
Your remake on furniture is awesome
@@debf2756 Thank you so much, I appreciate your kind comment!💚
Thank you so much for this awesome project that I will be starting soon.
@@SM2024-x You are most welcome! Thank you for watching!💚
Where can i find the measurements, i do not see the "description "
@@SM2024-x Under the video title, it shows the number of views and the age of the video. There is a link next to that that says ‘More’. If you click on the ‘More’, it opens up the description box.😊
What a wonderful idea! I think I’ll do my Nana’s house!
@@KaquolMeliReno That’s awesome! I hope it is as much of a labour of love for you, as this little house was for me! 🏡💚
Did you get to England and the Minatura Show?
@@donnacameron4515 Not yet. We are planning for the show in May 2025!!
When you love wood, sanding is a pleasure! LOL
You are so talented, I hope I can become close to as good as you!
@@KaquolMeliReno Thank you! You are very kind. 💚
I'd like to see how you make the stand, although I have one here (IRL) which I could copy.
Please get a new mic. Without closed captioning I would have no idea what you're saying. You can't use the mic on your camera. As soon as you turn away your voice is lost and its not loud enough to start.
@@gailorr1088 Hi Gail, your assumption that I use my camera mic is incorrect. With the exception of the intro, all my audio is done as a voice over with another mic. Having said that, I am sorry you are having audio issues. I have reached out to several friends/family member who subscribe to the channel, and of those that have responded so far, their audio is working fine. I’m not sure what else to tell you. I am curious if you have had issues on any of my other videos?
@@pennyssmallspaces yes, most of them.
This working tray is incredibly cute!!! Thank you so much!

This may be my favorite piece of your furniture yet. I love function and I really love precision and this project has both. Awesome job, Penny!

Penny these are so realistic! ❤ They look exactly like the ones we use here at home. You are a master at making functioning working pieces.

Wonderful, as always! Yes, please do make a stand! It’s so ironic that the “old” metal or fiberglass Tv trays are now so collectible! Thanks much! ❤ Kathleen
@@papabear2515 Thank you Kathleen! My in-laws still have a set of those metal trays. 😊💚
Love this Penny, we were allowed a tray table as a treat if there was a game of football or weekend wrestling here in the uk, brings back childhood memories. I’m going to make a few of them and adapt as a butler table with removable top too. Thank you x❤

@@juliederry3719 Thank you Julie, I’m glad you like it!💚
Stand by ME, um, I mean, by me, show A STAND! Moving parts of furnishings have always seemed so complicated and probably beyond my talents..................but you have made it seem so simple (in a few instances) that I will surely attempt some.
@@georgecunningham9175 Haha! Okay, I will make the stand. Stay tuned!💚
I love TV trays and would like to have the stand to store them!
@@KaquolMeliReno Then a stand I will make! 😊 (First I have to make the other 3 trays 😆)
I tend to drill a very small hole (using my very small drill bits) initially then I use the size needed to accommodate the toothpick. I find it makes it easier to find the center with a smaller drill bit in order to hit the proper spot on the little legs of the table.
@@suzannecuerrier279 I often do that as well. Great tip!
Thank you for the information and your honesty. ❤
Wow 🥰
@@aleenpowell1643 Thank you!💚
I think I would like to see a platform rocker made. I am trying to recreate my aunt’s house that I went to as a child. It was in the 60s. Your cabinet and refrigerator are perfect for it. But remember a red platform rocker.(hopefully you will know about them) Also I am looking for a porch glider/swing that sat down on slides and would move back and forth. I have found the chairs but I haven’t seen the glider/swing anywhere. If you would like to take on the challenge of doing either of these I would love to it. Thanks.
@@bbuglady1 I googled the Platform Rocker but I’m not sure if this is what you are after. If not, do you have a picture? images.app.goo.gl/wLL8PvtbK57MnzYV8

@@belindaknox5007 Hi Belinda, sorry for the delay in responding! I don’t have a template but I pulled out the couch and did some measurements. From the bottom outside corner, I cut in 7/16” from the side and 3/4” from the bottom (12mm from the side and 17mm from the bottom. I rounded the top inside corner of the cut so that it fit the curve of the arm. I hope that helps!
