Brilliant! I am sold on the foil treatment. You are right that it looks softer than wire ...and less painful on the fingers too!😂❤
EXACTLY! IT WAS MUCH GENTLER ON MY FINGERS!! Also easier to manipulate after it's inside the bedspread.
The first pink that you didn't like reminds me of older ladies' corsets in the 1960s in the UK. I love that colour, & now I can see how it's made. Thank you 😂 😊
Well - what a process (!) for such a beautiful end result! Keeping it real, Gretchen - that’s you! Love it!
You always inspire me and also make me laugh at times … your glue recovery journey is okay! One slip doesn’t negate the growth! 😌.
The linens are just perfect with the bed! Those sweet pillowcases look exactly like vintage pillowcases we had in our household! Thanks for another great video! ❤️ Kathleen
Thank you so much Kathleen! I always appreciate your feedback! I'm so glad you are inspired and I make you laugh 😂! Glad those pillowcases, brought back pleasant childhood memories! Thank you so much for being here! 😃❤️💖❤️💖❤️
This bed turned out beautifully! The bedding with the foil insert will be a technique I will try in the future!!🙌🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾😍
YES I really like it better than the wire! It's much softer and inexpensive!
I am so glad to be one of your first Dolls to see this!
THANK YOU COLLEEN, FOR SHARING THAT ARE ATTENTIVELY WAITING FOR MY CONTENT!!!
What a clever idea, aluminum foil! Love the little tiny print on the fabrics. Very sweet.😊🩷💜
Thank you Vicki! 😊 I really think I will be using the heavy duty Foil a lot more! It was easy, inexpensive and less messy, than the water and glue solution!
@@littlegretchensworkshop7665 Such a clever idea.
Now that’s a comfortable looking bed!
Thank You Harriet!!! ☺️ It Does Look comfy with that 1 inch Thick foam mattress!!!! Lololollol!!!
I love the last view. Reminds me of our spare room after the grandkids get up. Sending my love!
Thank You Connie ☺️!!💖💖💖
This is a helpful tutorial- the entire bed is cohesive and looks so nice with the lace addition. I had pillowcases with that exact floral pattern in the 1960's!
Thank you I'm glad you liked it ☺️ l feel like l've seen that fabric before too!!! As soon as I saw it all I could see was pillow cases!
Ms Gretchen, this is a super video. I laughed and marveled and learned some good stuff. My favorite parts were the foil lessons and the bed color saga. Thank you for bringing joy and inspiration to your many Dolls!
Thank You Christie l'm So Glad you enjoyed it! I felt like you Dolls, needed to see the full process: The trials, the errors and the triumph 😀☺️💖
Heavy duty foil! Clever! Your bedding is so posable. I bet it would make a divine tent fort for the children's playtime too.
Yes Karen that foil truly was incredible! It is truly a game changer!! 😀 I can't wait to try it on some other things!!
What an inviting bed, I could jump right in!! Color on bed looks great, I'm planning on making a scrap quilt with my DIL, tiny squares, finger crossed😂
THANK YOU!!! Have FUN! That is A VERY Ambitious DECISION! I'm Sure it will be BEAUTIFUL!!! 😍
I think I had a cotton handkerchief like your pillow cases. The first things we learnt to iron as youngsters. Our Sunday school collection would be tied in the corner so not to lose it. Oh the memories of years gone by brought back by the sight of a piece of fabric. 😂🥰
YES YES YES 😀 MY GREAT GRANDMOTHER USED TO TIE OUR MONEY IN A HANDKERCHIEF TOO!!! I FORGOT ABOUT THAT!!!!🤣😂🤣🤭
Sunday school offering money💖💖💖☺️😀
In nursing school we learned that "relapse is part of the disease" so I wasn't surprised to see you reach for that glue bottle 🤭 I really liked this bed when it was stained wood but I LOVE it painted! I was pleasantly surprised how naturally and realistically the fabric draped with the foil! 😍✨
I liked it painted too!! But I was amused with the lacey wood pieces and got carried away 😔! The next thing I knew the bed was orange😟So I had to work my way out🤭😅🤣! Yes the HEAVY DUTY foil is Great! My New favorite!!!💖😀
The bed looks lovely. 🥰 The "wrong" paint layer is just an added bit of history. ☺ We all struggle when establishing new habits. You're so right that slipping up doesn't have to be the end of the story. You cleaned up the mess and resolved to do better in the future, which is the right way to handle it. You can do this! You've been doing a great job with your glue therapy, and you can do this! 😊
Thank You Laura!!! Sparing glue, using a ruler and cutting on the line!? Whew 😅!!! I even been wearing my gloves! But I that rub buff has a hold on me!!!!😂🤣🤣😅
that fit around the posts is SOO neat, very impressive. I think I'll be using the foil method for my next project, looks amazing.
Hi THERE!!👋 Yes I definitely think the foil worked really well!!! I like to try a lot of different things to see what gives me the result that I'm looking for! I hope it works well for you too! Thank you so much for watching and allowing me to share!
I think we all have moments when our bright idea turns out to be something we hate. I'm pleased you kept at it until you found a colour that made you (and the dolls) happy. A couple of rooms in my dollhouse had to be repainted a few times before I finally worked out what colours I wanted them to be.
When you had to re-glue the bed I was like Oh no!!!! Not a glue relapse!!!! but you came back from the brink and got back on the glue wagon again. I'm so proud of you my friend! lol
Yes it is truly trial and error 😀! I just wanted to show the truth of the full process!!! Sometimes what you imagine doesn't translate smoothly into reality! Lololol 🤣 😂 😂
Lol I love you friend (recovery)! The bed is adorable....❤❤❤❤
Thank You Debbie!!! 😌 💖💖💖
That lace skirt on your bed is so sweet! The perfect touch! I love the pillows you made. Mine never turn out as good as yours! Thank you for the video!
Thank you! I'm glad you like them. It just takes a little practice, give yourself some Grace. Find you some different fabric and try again each time you do it gets a little bit better it's like each iteration is an upgrade! But no matter what HAVE FUN ! YOUR Dolls will be happy and appreciate whatever you make for them!!💖💖💖😀
That bed looks beautiful, and so comfy and cozy, I can just imagine crawling under the covers for a good night's sleep! I always love your choice of colors, I love vintage rose patterns too. A long time ago at a rummage sale with my mother, I found maybe a yard of an actual rose bud pattern from maybe the 50s I'm guessing. I just treasure it even though I've yet to find any specific use for it. It reminds me of times at my grandma's so long ago. As for your chronic glue habit, straight from the bottle, uh oh!😮
That sounds pretty 😍 l love vintage prints! They seem dreamy and nostalgic, bringing back fragments of pleasant childhood memories.Yeah "l jumped off the wagon" with a big bottle of GLUE!!!!🤣🤭😂
Excellent video am going to try this!! Ms Gretchen miss your NAILS all Dolled up 💅 I looked forward to seeing them …. I mimik you 🤭🤫
Thank You 😄! Right!! I need to get My nails together!!!
I really enjoy watching your talent unfold!
Thank you so much! I truly appreciate you for allowing me to share! ☺️💖
Just slap that glue on there, Little Gretchen! I like that foil method as it would be easier to change beds if you wanted as the glue and water process fits pretty much the one bed it was made for.
What a beautiful bed, gorgeous fabrics Gretchen, tfs x Julie 🇬🇧
THANK You Julie!!! 😊💖💖🤣
How absolutely adorable. Great job again. ❤
Thank you! 😊
Wow, I've never seen this way of making a bedspread, it's brilliant. I'm going to give this a go will my house too. I'm like you, I eyeball everything. I'm more confident in my eyeballing skills than my measuring skills! You have a great sense of humor and are a joy to watch.
Thank You l appreciate your Kind Words ☺️💖! Yes l am definitely more confident "eyeballing" than measuring 🤭😂! The only time measuring really serves me is when l'm baking🤭😂! I appreciate you for being here!!
Lol, me too!@@littlegretchensworkshop7665
The bed turned out beautiful. This foil method is neat and something I will definitely be using in the future.
Thank you! 😊 Please do l really think it could be my new go to for my beds!!! Thank you for being here! Quick question, isn't your dollhouse 1/6 or Barbie scale?
@@littlegretchensworkshop7665, You're welcome! Thank you for asking about my Dollhouse. Yes, it is 1:6 Scale. I have so many plans for it I am going to need a bigger room, lol.
Absolutely adorable! The bed turned out so pretty and the bedding is gorgeous! I think this aluminum foil is really a winner!
Thanks so much! 😊l think so too! The foil was quick easy and accessible!! I think it's my new go to!!
This turned out so pretty! I'll definitely be trying to foil method for my bedding! :-) The fabric for the pillow cases remind me of an antique hankie my grandma had. I still have it somewhere.
Thank You Joni!!!! I really like the foil, that heavy duty made all the difference! When you find it would be precious to use the handkerchief to make a bedspread or something to preserve the memory!
If you have an Aldi's in your state, they have aluminum foil fir 2-3 dollars which is equal to renal wrap. I hope this helps on cost
YES! Thank You!!!THAT'S WHAT I HAVE¡!! THE HEAVY DUTY ALDI BRAND! IT WORKS VERY WELL!!! I didn't mention it because I thought Aldi was just local!
Love your video. You explain things very well. I've used the aluminum foil with my bedding too. Once made, it makes shaped easy and versatile. As always, thank you for adding your sense of humor and your little giggles!
I appreciate your compliment about my humor. I never thought of myself as comical. I'm Glad to know you enjoy my personality! 😀💖
I love the color of the bed! And the bedding goes so well with it! And those pillowcases! I wish I had those irl! Lovely! It's a lucky couple who will have that bed.
Don't you just love the foil method?
Yes you are exactly right! The foil is definitely more versatile! I LIKE that because it allows for more freedom when decorating!!!
Thank You MARY! Yes I truly think it may be my new go to!! I've been a tried and true " water and glue GIRL! But this has changed my mind!!!
I use small pins to hold the bedding in place.
Yes tiny pins work wonders! ☺️💖
I love everything you did, and it all looks so good together!!! ❤
Thank you so much!! 😀 I really do like the overall look. Watching all the pieces come together is so much Fun!💖💖☺️
Oh this is so pretty!! I am happy to see that the foil works so well- I think that’s the solution for my 1/24 scale bedspread, which will end up being 3”x2 1/2”!! I’m gathering materials now for my summer project room setting!!❤️
Yes Nancy, this will definitely be helpful for a tiny bed like that! I'm so glad this was helpful!!!!☺️💖
Miss Gretchen! Though you are traveling the road of glue recovery, I am afraid you are going to have to consider your rub-n-buff tendancies. Great video : )
You are right! I have got it BAD for the Rub and Buff🤣😂🤭!!! It's like l go from one obsession to the next!🤣😂🤭☺️💖
Definitely liked the second colour on the bed, the Aluminium foil is a great touch. The bed and bedding turned out amazing. Take care and thank you for sharing the journey 👏🙏❤️
Thanks so much Chris! 💖💖💖😀
I used a variation on the aluminum foil idea on some curtains I was making recently. They were made of velvet, which one cannot use fabric stiffener or glue solutions on without ruining the nap. So I embedded aluminum tape and lined the curtains and then I could bend the folds in. I used the tape rather than foil because of the vertical position of curtains (didn't want it to slip). But, I imagine if you got the foil in their tight enough, that would still work also. It worked a treat and I even made a swag the same way. This may be my new go-to for fabric on which I do not wish to use stiffener of any kind.
That is an AWESOME idea! Velvet definitely would be a good candidate for the foil!!! 😃
Looks lovely Gretchen. Such pretty fabrics. 😊
Thank you! 😊
I remember when you first tried the aluminum and it didn’t work. Look at you mastering techniques!!
I KNOW RIGHT! I REALLY WAS NOT FEELING THE FOIL!!! BUT DIFFERENCE IS I HAD THE HEAVY DUTY TYPE! IT MADE A WORLD OF DIFFERENCE!!
You’ve done it again Little Gretchen’s Workshop! ❤
What an amazing bed display. love the way the foil allows you to create tiny little folds in the bed cover like it was an actual full sized bed…
This is a brilliant technique & easy to do.. thank you for sharing your knowledge & brilliant ideas 🥰
Thank you so much! 😊💖😀 I'm having so much fun!! I love how everything is coming together!!
I'm also truly glad you find these techniques helpful!! ENJOY 💖😀😊💖💖

Love your video. You explain things very well. I've used the aluminum foil with my bedding too. Once made, it makes shaping easy and versatile. As always, thank you for adding your sense of humor and your little giggles!
Thanks for sharing! 😊
I will have to try the aluminum foil ... it seems brilliant!
It was so much fun 😀 You definitely have got to try it!!!
Fantastic idea! Thanks for sharing it. And that second dusty pink and the fabric are beautiful.
Thank you! 😊 This was a really FUN PROJECT I APPRECIATE YOUR FEEDBACK!! 😃💖
I Really appreciate your videos! You inspire me to try and your patience explaining how, definitely helps the process! ❤
You are so welcome! I'm so glad you are enjoying this!!! 😀💖
Very nice!
Thanks!I appreciate you for watching and allowing me to share!💖😀
Hello Gretchen, it's so pretty 😍
I love the colour of the bedframe, the bedspread fabric is beautiful too, whichever resident gets the bed they're going to be very happy, it looks so comfy and cosy.
I'm looking forward to your next video, Best wishes from Yorkshire, England 🇬🇧 😊
Thanks so much! 😊 I do really like the way it turned out!! The colors came together nicely!!! I haven't felt who gets this one!?🤭 maybe the New DOLLS?🤭😀
I luv your laugh!!❤ I'm looking forward to the Wedding. I'm new to your channel and have alot of catching up to do. I have thoroughly enjoyed every moment so far. You are so talented. I think the lil deviled eggs are so ADORABLE. A sprinkle of paprika lol. The bed looks nice and cozy 🤗🌹
Thank you so much Rayna!! 😊💖😀 Welcome to Little Gretchen's Workshop! I'm So Glad to have you here!!!!I'm having so much FUN sharing this Event in the Dolls lives!!! I really appreciate you letting me know you are enjoying my content!!! I have plenty more planned!!! ENJOY!!!💖😃☺️😊
wow that turned out great❤
Thank You 😊💖💖💖
Okay, I'm gonna trust your judgment on the foil😂 I've seen this technique before and have yet to try it. I really like how you can manipulate the bedding without coating it, so the fabric still looks completely soft and natural. Love how the bed turned out in the end.
I know how it feels, mixing a color you don't like and having to repaint.🥰❤️
Thanks so much! 😊l have historically been a "water and glue GIRL" but has really shaken things up!!🤭☺️😅 Yes that paint had me on the ropes!! It took me 2 weeks to get back to it to finish! When things don't turn out the way l imagine it sends me back to the drawing board!🤭☺️😅🤣💖
It so lovely 🥰
Thank you! 😊💖💖💖
You are welcome 🤗
Such beautiful detail! 😃 So glad I found your channel! ❤️
Thanks so much! 😊 l'm so glad to have you here Beatrice! ENJOY!!! 💖😀💖
I almost bought some wire after your previous video, but glad I waited as I like this better. I have heard of using foil, but didn't think it would work out. Thanks for sharing, now I want to do this!
Glad it was helpful! I think it really worked well! Plus it's versatile! I AGREE! l like this better than the wire! Make sure it's HEAVY DUTY KIND. IT HAS MORE WEIGHT AND BODY! I appreciate you for watching and allowing me to share!💖😀
Thanks
THANK YOU!!!!
Beautiful! ❤
Thank You Barb!💖😊
so clever!! doing this!
GREAT!! Enjoy!!💖😀
What a great and for me simple idea :-) it looks so good and the heavy-duty foil is something I have on hand
YES I really like the way it turned out! I had tried foil about a year ago but 😕 and result was not the same the difference was HEAVY DUTY TYPE! IT'S MUCH FIRMER! It holds up very well! So have FUN I THINK YOU WILL REALLY LIKE IT!!! THANK YOU FOR WATCHING AND ALLOWING ME TO SHARE!😃💖
Good job
