Miter Shears- this pair is highly rated and has replaceable blades

Heat gun- I use mine to quickly dry paint, soften the glue to dismantle furniture and quickly cure polymer clay without an oven. Gets a lot hotter than a hair dryer.

Craft heat gun that doesn't get as hot as mine

Watch me turn a cheap $1 table from the Dollar Tree into a an industrial desk with a drawer and cabinet. I love the metal caster wheels. I made this desk to use in an abandoned lab diorama I'm working on.
The original table was too short for 1:12 scale. The finished piece is the correct height and has a place to display miniatures. I will definitely be doing more Dollar Tree furniture flips.
I have lots of projects planned ranging from abandoned miniatures, furniture makeovers, accessories, kits and Dollhouse Miniatures in multiple scales. I also have a large Harry Potter build planned for 1" scale.

*Just found your videos and I now want to collect "trash" to create mini worlds just like you! I actually do nail art and am wondering how I can incorporate this fun activity into my content! Hahaha! I love it! ♥ Jenny*
Watch Little Gretchen's Workshop and you'll see what you can do with nail decor! She makes purses, luggage, and all kinds of accessories decorated with nail decor.
@@queencityminis Ahhh! I'm so excited! I'm totally binge watching everything you've been creating and loving every minute! I'll check out that other channel, too! I have so many little nail art decor pieces that I'm sure will work. Just watched you make a mini stool using those femo fruit discs and I have tons of those! Hahaha! "Abandoned Stool Factory" scene could be my first project! Just kidding! But at this point anything would be fun just to get started! ♥ Jenny
I must sing your praises for several things: I really appreciate how you explain your thoughts when you decide an element isn't working for you, and that you mention what your bits and pieces are and where you found them; and generally explaining your thought process for the various changes you make! I adore your projects and I love your style! Thank you for such great content!!!
Thank you for such a thoughtful comment :) I really appreciate that
I really love all of these, and also your deadpan voice when you say funny things. I'm feeling really inspired to make my own abandoned room.
Thank you 😆
an amazing transformation! it's unbelievable what you've created out of a boring,white generic desk!
Thank you so much!
Oooo I adore it. Well spent buck. Those tiny castors are too damn cute.
Thank you! There are some things that would be too tedious to DIY. I'm happy to buy casters. They add so much to a piece.
I love all your Dollar Store Make-Over, but I think this one may be my favorite!
Thank you 😊 I really do love it and I love how the finished project looks.
I love how you explain your process as you go. You make it look so doable and easy!
Thank you! Everyone can have fun making miniatures, especially since they don't have to look perfect. I just hide my mistakes.
Absolutely fantastic. I swear you and Ara are convincing me to create something abandoned - I so love the look. And I'm going to have to get that rust stuff!!
Abandoned is the BEST. It's so much fun. If you haven't seen Ara's Abandoned Coffee Shop project, definitely check it out.
@@queencityminis I definitely have! I also love her Adam's Family and Beetlejuice videos as well. I don't know what scene I would do abandoned, tho a broken down brick wall garden might be really fun....
I never get tired of seeing what great things you make from Dollar Store furniture. You were so right about the casters! I had tons of fun looking at all the little details on the finished desk. Yep, I paused it and checked out all the cool stuff you added, it's a must you know ;) Have a great weekend!
Haha, you peeked! Thank you so much. I have a lot of fun doing Dollar Tree makeovers and this piece is perfect for the diorama. I've finished it and I'm editing the video now.
@@queencityminis Of course I peeked! Doesn't everyone? LOL Waiting patiently for the diorama video...or semi-patiently.
That was very creative I would know that this was a dollar tree makeover since you totally transformed it!
Thank you ☺️ my Dollar Tree transformations are pretty thorough!
Man I've seen you do a few of these dollar tree furniture makeovers and you always do such an amazing job with them, so inspiring. I just wish our dollar tree type stores here in New Zealand stocked this sort of dolls house furniture and not just the tacky, plastic, out of scale sized stuff that we can sometimes find if we're lucky.
They are very simply made. They could be easily replicated. Maybe I'll get my hands on each piece offered and make a tutorial showing how to replicate them.
@@queencityminis That would be amazing!!!
@@nessiemonstercrafts I have so many things lined up but I'll get around to doing that, at least with the two most popular pieces (the desk and tall dresser).
Thank you Shyra I appreciate the workload you must have on already. I'm happy to wait, I still have plenty of your other videos to watch in the meantime 🙂
I was planning to wait, but I got started on a video showing how to make the tall Dollar Tree dresser from cardboard. I'll leave dimensions in the description for anyone who wants to make it from wood. It'll be out on Saturday!
Wow, I really enjoyed this tutorial. It's all about the details ❤
It definitely is! The details are my favorite part.
I think I have to buy this table someday lol .love customized version vdo of the items you did . Nowadays there are many miniature items in the market ( which are not expensive ) and we can made it look better and fit for our project .
Absolutely! I almost always change a miniature at least a little bit.
You have the best ideas to make your creations look real. I missed this video somehow. Glad I looked!
Thank you so much :) Make sure you check out the abandoned lab video I used this desk in.

Love! Dollar tree doll furniture makeovers
I have a whole playlist of them and I'm due for another soon. Thank you!
I adore you and am so privileged to have found your channel. I hope you keep making minis for a long time to come!!!
That's the sweetest thing! Thank you so much
It really is a pleasure to watch you work! Very creative and informative! I always come away with new tips to try. Thank you
Thank you so much :)
This is such a great tutorial…TFS 😊
My pleasure :)
excellent work!
Thank you! I just posted the Diorama this piece belongs in

So much creativity and talent. The desk turned out wonderfully wretched. I really appreciated all the great little tips and explanations along the way. Subscribed immediately.
Thanks so much! 😊 Wretched! I love that
Awesome transformation. I really like the techniques you used to age and rust your piece.
Thank you so much 💖
I LOVE THIS!!!!😃 Great up-cycle!!!
Thank you so much 😊
That was so cool. Can't wait to see the rest!
It looks so good! I'm doing voiceover now. My least favorite part of the process 😆
Wow.. that turned out perfect.. beautiful work!!
Thank you :) The abandoned lab is finished. I'm editing the video now. It'll be out next week.
So very very cool. Looks so realistic.
Thank you!
That turned out great! And yes, the casters were the right choice. I loved your reverse this week, my brain didn't know what to think of it at first. lol 😂
Hahaha thank you! I like to put a trick or two in every video to keep you guys on your toes.
Brilliant ❤
Thank you
Every post has been amazing!...so glad I found you!🥰...aging is a technique I would love to perfect...it really does add so much dimension to a vignette/ miniature scene.

Thank you so much! Did you see my recent video where I used liquid latex to make peeling paint? I love it turned out. I'll definitely try these techniques on furniture as well. I wish I had thought to use it on this desk.
@@queencityminis ..yes, I did see that video as well! I didn't even know liquid latex exsisted🤦🏾♀️
I love this rust trick!
Thank you!
Nice job!
Thank you :)
@@queencityminis, You're welcome!
Wow! I bought 3 of those pieces from Dollar Tree and have been stuck on what to do with them. That lab desk looks great!

Check out the playlist! I've done 6 Dollar Tree furniture makeovers (so far). I hope you get some good ideas.
Incredible work!!!
Thank you 😊
Incredible 😮
Thank you 😊
this is fantastic!
Thank you so much ☺️
So great
Thank you 😊
Awesome
Thank you 😁
Omg 😱 I love how the desk came out. Looks like my old lab desk (jk). Great outcome. Love it. Happy Halloween 🎃 👻
Happy Halloween to you too! I'm glad it turned out well. The rounded edges on the wooden top aren't my favorite thing but whatever. Still looks great.
Have you ever thought of using staples for draw pulls instead of bending wire
That would work, but you'd need to use two stuck together. Crazily enough, I don't even own any staples. Now I wanna get my hands on some.
You did such an awesome and realistic job on this, it looks like you could get tetanus if you were to scrape against it. Super realistic and just an awesome job. Thank you so much for the video.
Tetanus 😆 That reminds me of when Sugar Charm Shop made some very realistic looking bacon. She put it down and picked up a tool and I thought, "ooh, Salmonella..." Then I remembered the pork is made of clay 😆
💝💝💝
Thank you :)
Do you sell your miniatures you make or do you just do them for fun?
I have sold a couple small things, but I have most of the things I made sitting in a box
amazing- thanks for the tips for the rust affects. how would you 'grunge' the handles?
You're welcome! I added some rust effects (Dirty Down Rust) to them, concentrating on where they touch the drawer. In a previous video, I used Mod Podge mixed with paint to age shiny metal which gives a dirty, dull look.

@@queencityminis great! thanks :)
I never find mini furniture at the dollar store ☹️
Do collabs only happen between people with channels? I’m trying to figure out how to connect with creators beyond fandom but I don’t plan to have a channel
Yes, generally only people with channels
I can’t find the dollhouse furniture at my dollar tree 😢
You could make this from scratch as well
