I appreciate you KIM! As a child all i had for supplies was scraps remnants and trash so I made the most of it! Now it's my favorite thing to do TRASH TO TREASURE!!!
I just love the use of the old table for your pots and pans. It’s so cute, not to mention your racks for potholders and kitchen towels. Thank you for the tutorials. Have a bless day 🌻
Hello! I just discovered your videos, and I think your use of scraps and "trash" is very good for the planet! Recycling is such a good way to make something out of trash. I enjoyed watching this video, and think your method for making knives is great! The aged cutting board is amazing, too! Thank you for sharing your talents! ~Janet in Canada
Thank You So Much for watching! I got my start in dollhouses making furniture and accessories from everyday items so this is just my norm. Everything i see I consider what can I make from that? I guess this is RECYCLING, thank you for pointing that out!
I love that you show how to make things out of scraps and trash. I know you like to make it easy for everyone to enjoy this hobby even if they dont have all the fancy gadgets and tools. My kids laugh when I stop to pick up bits of trash that I think might be useful for miniatures! Even my husband has shaken his head and laughed at me when I put the garbage out i the garbage can, only to pull out something I spot in there! But it's so much fun seeing what you can recycle things into!
i do the exact same thing I see Miniatures in everything! Yes Nessie, in my early years as a miniaturists all I had was scraps, remnants and trash! Do'n't ever feel bad when they call your supplies trash! LOLOLOLOL!
I remember reading something years ago about making serrated knives, like if you need a bread knife or set of steak knives. They used the metal strip that you find on some packages of foil, plastic wrap, parchment paper etc, those rolls with the metal tear strip. When it's empty, pull off that metal piece and you can use it for knife blades. Not all rolls have metal strips but some do
@@littlegretchensworkshop7665 I've also used that serrated strip to put a saw blade in a bow saw and a jack saw. Needed the saws to cut cordwood into stove lengths, don't you know? Also learned that I can use my little Fiskars craft scissors with the titanium blades to cut knife blades from the little metal containers that held burned up tea light candles. The same little containers are excellent and malleable-enough to make things like cheese graters, potato peelers, wrap handles for wire whisks, cooking pots...Easily scored with a stylus to make a groove around the middle for a water-bath canner, and you can also cut off the bottom and use a sheet of cork and a ball-peen hammer to make the domed canner lid. Use wire to make the jar rack. Use wet-dry sanding sheets to smooth the cut edges.
Thank you so much 😊! I truly believe in creating with scraps and remnants! I guess that's because as a child that's all I had! Thank you for the reminder I forgot about that video. That was one of my early ones on the channel!
New Sub. What a wonderful first tutorial to begin with. These knives are fabulous. Would never have thought to use acetate for the blades. Going to give them a try. Thank you.
OoOo 😯 what a lovely set of knives and cutting board. I made a couple boards awhile ago and I'd like to age them a bit more now that I see yours ..lol 🤗 you had great ideas for the knives..I adore them .. I might give it a try with what I have. Since my Granny will need some older authentic looking cooking tools your knives have given me and idea..Ill share it when the time comes...Thank You Lil Gretchen for sharing ❤❤❤
That is an Excellent idea! i saw Shyra on Queen City Minis use that in one of her videos! i definitely need to try that! Thank you for the suggestion! I appreciate you for watching!
This is wild! I have a cutting board video planned. We have the same brain. I love these pieces! I'm really impressed with the outcome. These look like my grandfather's knives. Very clever material choice for the blades 👏
THANK YOU!!! YES I was trying to duplicate the old knives I remember seeing in my Grandma's kitchen. I love reproducing the images in my head. But Wait WHY was i up till 2am trying to make YOUR pots and pans with Chipboard! That was So Inspiring!!! You are VERY CREATIVE!!! I''m in Kitchen MODE, sounds like YOU are Too!!!!
@@littlegretchensworkshop7665 You totally nailed the aesthetic because your knives are the spitting image of m grandfather's knives. That's great! How did your pots & pans turn out?
@@queencityminis So far so good!, I got them assembled and started lids, so I plan to finish them tonight😀it never occurred to me to try this method! When i was 10 this would have changed my life! The CEREAL Boxes were RIGHT THERE!😂
@@littlegretchensworkshop7665 😆 Did you ever make dollhouse things as a kid? My sister and I made cardboard dollhouses! I SO wish I still had them. I remember painting curtains around the windows and painting tiles on the floor. We didn't have hot glue so I don't know how we managed it. I'd love to see them now.
Thank you for the feedback! I feel like there is Sooooo much I need to learn about editing features and filming techniques. I'm that you are still able to enjoy it while i'm learning the ropes! I appreciate you for letting me know!
I like your idea but please try not to get so close to camera I feel I’m missing out on a lot because of refocus on camera I don’t want to miss anything ❤❤❤
Thank you for your feedback!I appreciate you for letting me know. I do plan to do more knives because i will need some for the new dollhouse.I definitely don't want you to miss out on anything here! Thank you for your patience!
Thank you for sharing your talent with us!

You have a really good eye for scale. They"re going to look so good in the kitchen 🔪👍🏽 and that cutting board is just too cute
Thanks Cassandra! It was really fun making them! I feel bad sometimes that I don't measure things more, I always hope everyone 😀can follow along.

THAT is a GREAT TIP! I never looked at those like that! They would be perfect for bread or steak knives! Excellent IDEA! Thank you!!!

Oh what a Great idea to use the strip from the foils. ❤
Brilliant idea to use acetate..thanku for sharing💕

You are Welcome and I'm so excited to hear you like them! Yes please do let me know how they turn out!
I am keeping the cutting part of the foil paquets, or film boxes and they look good for bread knives.

NEW SUB! These are great! I am looking forward to creating a lot of my own pieces and I am so excited to find your channel!
AWESOME! THANK YOU! I HAVE SO MUCH TO SHARE! GLAD TO HAVE YOU HERE!!!
❤️ May I repeat? You are sooooo talented. Not just building out the dollhouse but as a new UA-camr ... your filming and voice over!!
Thank you for the feedback! I feel like there is Sooooo much I need to learn about editing features and filming techniques. I'm that you are still able to enjoy it while i'm learning the ropes! I appreciate you for letting me know!
Oh, I’m looking forward to making some knives. But are they really safe for Little Gretchen to be using?
Yes these Knives are definitely Safe for Little Gretchen!
Could you use a small clamp to cut the trenches ? Using your hand terrified me. But good job.
YOU are exactly RIGHT! I'll be more mindful of safety because I don't want any of my DOLLS being unsafe! Thank you for your suggestion and feedback!
I like, it might be trash but you're recycling it "that's cool"
Thank You! Using what I could find is how I got started in miniatures! Thank you so much for watching!
