I just found you and am sooooo glad I did! I have recently gotten into making 1/6 th scale doll furniture and knew I was going to need a room to photograph them in. I was thinking I was going to be gluing multiple layers of cardboard together to get a sturdy room, but, thanks to your genius use of insulation foam, I have my answer! And the use of velcro to make it collapsible, the cherry on top! Now....just to get some money in my pocket to go to the hardware store, LOL!
Great diorama, and it looks so neat and pristine. I like making separate walls too, different style walls so I can mix and match them and make the space look different.
Yes! I am currently doing this for my next project (with a garden). I can rework the same walls into a few different configurations, which saves space and materials
The finished room is gorgeous! I love this idea. I also build miniatures and photograph my dolls and am running out of storage space. 😀 This is such a convenient and customizable solution. I will definitely have to build my own. Thank you for the inspiration. 💜
You just singlehandedly fixed all of my "making it folding and portable while using foam board as the base material" problems. You're genius!!! Thank you!! 🤍🤍
I love this! I might try it. I think it would work well for me since I don't really have room to have a diorama standing all the time, but I would love one for pictures. Thanks for sharing!
Wow, so impressive! Thank you for sharing this, really appreciate it! I was wondering how people can have this hobby without it taking up so much space. I do have a question for you, regarding the primer used on the insulation boards, can you use regular wall primer from Home Depot and then regular wall paint? I have so much left over from regular home design/remodels. I have subscribed!
Hmm, that is a great question! I haven't used house paint before, but it should work (latex paint). Test a piece first before you commit. I would definitely make sure the paint goes on thin and you let it dry fully between coats. Be careful adding the velcro as the paint might peel off more easily. If you try it, please let me know how it goes!
I love this! Thank you! Gives me more ideas! I have a plan to build a room on top of an Ikea table, and I've been saving this huge cardboard box, while wondering if it will be sturdy enough. But I think I'll save that for other builds, and do the foam for the walls instead!
I highly recommend the foam over cardboard! It's sturdier and gives you a nice smooth surface for your walls. If you are building a more permanent structure, consider getting the 1" wide foam
What a lovely room! This tutorial will definitely help me in finding a place to display my dolls. I have a question, though, is the chair something you built or bought? I'd love to buy or make one like it!
@@AllisAllAboutminis If you have a print shop near by, it might be nice to get them printed professionally on a semi gloss paper. They will look amazing!
Watching you create such art is very therapeutic. Keep it up!
I would have never thought of using velcro! Great video!

@@franticseamstress Thank you!

The chair was 3D printed! I found a free design in 1/12 scale and enlarged it for 1/4 scale :)
Where do you get the book covers to print
I purchased them from Etsy!
@@franticseamstress thanks good to know if i ever get my new printer to cooperate i can buy them too

I was wondering if adhering strips of wood to the full length of the backs of the foam board would solve the warping issue.
That could work!
