    Learn how to make a miniature toaster oven with simple everyday items. I used cereal box, paper, plastic canvas, trash plastic, tape, a toothpick, a bead, a staple etc. No printer or technology needed! Use what you you have. You can substitute materials for one another. You can use toothpicks as a sub for the plastic canvas grate. You can also cut the shape out of cereal box and strengthen it with super glue. I love how the "electric" plug turned out. I made it with a string from a price tag, a piece of cereal box, printer paper, and wood glue. You can add a cord like this to your miniature electronics for added realism.
    I didn't make my door open. Here's a video from Little Gretchen's Workshop showing how you can make the door function:

    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.

    I am deeply in love with your channel! I am impressed with all the research you do for every piece and the thoughtfulness you put into your miniatures. Sometimes when I watch miniature/diorama videos, I think "Come on, in real life it does not go this way" - but in every video of yours this is what you tell in many cases I would never think before. I am amazed by the level of detail that you are into, but you really have shot me to my very heart with the knowledge that you have and your desire to learn more. Thank you for allowing to see your work!

    By the way, I've found that when I use Testors enamel paint, if I just load up my brushes with lots of soap I can clean it with just soap and warm water, and that way I don't need to pull out the mineral spirits for small stuff.

    Shyra, you and Tiny Houses are my favorite mini channels. Please do not change. I stop watching creators that use and depend on machines instead of the artistic side of this form of art. I have been a miniaturist since the '70's and it was always hands-on creativity. Yes, I do understand the advances.

I have one question that I would love your help with: I bought the little bottles for glue that I saw you recommend in another one of your videos, but I can't figure out how to get the (wood) glue in them without making a giant mess.
