I customized this 1:144 scale Hampton Dollhouse kit with lots of simple handmade details like a foam core foundation and popsicle stick steps. I transformed the included base into a table by adding legs (1:12 scale stair balusters).
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

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.

"Please, excuse my chunks." 😆😂🤣Haha!!
Seriously, though. I consider myself to be quite a bit more detail oriented than most, but you impress me!! The care you take to make sure the dolls of your dollhouse have a complete and realistic-looking, lighted dollhouse with which to play is not to be surpassed!
🥰😇💟
Thank you so much :) Any doll would be ecstatic to display this house in their home 😁
This was so mesmerizing that my husband sat through the entire video with me. So cute!!!
That's awesome! I call that a victory for me 😅
So much detail for such a teeny tiny house. You are the QUEEN of adding extra details and making it your own.
Thank you! I'll gladly claim that title.
These kits on their own are cute but your added details make them freaking gorgeous! Your attention to detail is amazing. I love this so much!
Thank you :) I really loved turning the base into a table. This would look so cool sitting in a dollhouse.
@@queencityminis yes! I hope you use in your dollhouse when you’re really to decorate.
Omg the little gazebo! 😍
So damn cute! Thank you
pardon my chunks, lol! Wow, great! So cute much detail! Love it!
😆 thank you!
This is just the sweetest, most charming little thing ever.❤
Thank you! I'm really happy with the outcome
WOW is this creative!!! I especially LOVE the use of the scalloped scissors to make the shingles. That added such a wonderful touch! I also loved the reuse of the entryway to make the gazebo. This came out fantastic!!
Thank you :) I bought those scissors last year specifically for making shingles. I love how they turned out.
I had every intention of putting the front porch on the house but my flower boxes were in the way. Happy accident, because I love how the gazebo looks on the lawn.
At a loss for words, truly. This project is absolutely amazing and I am now bursting with enthusiasm to do something like this. Your customizations are brilliant. Your ability to just on-the-fly design items like that fountain is pure genius. This ranks as one of my favorite projects of all time! Amazing! And all that said, I still feel my praise is inadequate for this video...
You are so sweet! Thank you so much ☺️ I love how the fountain turned out. Turning random junk into a miniature is so much fun.
The gazebo! 😍 this whole project!! You’re amazing!!
Thank you! I'm so glad I was able to rework the front porch pieces into a gazebo.
"please pardon my chunks" not something you hear everyday lol. I cant tell you how excited I was to watch this and I wasn't disappointed. I just adore all the little touches you added to customise it. You really do have a way with the details that bring things to life, that I wish I could emulate. One thing I can and will copy for sure tho is the velcro for the battery pack, its the perfect solution for the Mouse house I'm working on. Right now the battery pack is just taped onto the side of the room box with masking tape which is kinda ugly but your velcro idea is much better! Thank you so much
That damn Gloss Mod Podge. I ALWAYS forget it's chunky until I start applying it. At least I'm almost to the bottom of the bottle.
The Velcro works great. I found it in a sewing box that was given to me.
I added this on ly miniature list!! I hope I don't disappoint myself after watching your amazing modification. haha
For me, as long as I lose track of time while crafting, it was a success. Even if I don't like the outcome. It's all about the relaxation.
You not only craft super details, you craft a riveting video one must watch beginning to end!
The greenhouse and outside details! I want to shrink myself and live there.
Thank you! I appreciate that. Filming, editing and voiceover takes a lot of time and effort.
I can relate to that! I'd love to shrink down and walk the gardens. There's no furniture, water, or wi-fi in the house though 😆
This is amazing! I love watching you make things that I know would make me lose my mind lol your level of patience is through the roof!
Thank you! My partner laughs when any of you say I'm patient bc he knows I am not 😆 My impatience helps me find shortcuts and tricks to teach all of you.
Your artistic ability is beyond incredible!
Thank you so much!
Your videos are exemplary. Relaxing. Informative. Entertaining. Inspiring. Thank you.
Thank you so much!
Going to Earth and Tree first thing in the morning! This was so inspiring, can't wait to see what other 144th scale houses they have!
So lucky! Have fun! I'm sure you'll find amazing things. I got this kit at Earth n Tree. It's the Hampton Kit.
The tiny house turned out soo cute! I’ve got a church in the same scale that I have been dying to make a start on, you have given me inspiration on all your custom details 😊
That's great! I really like working in this scale. Some details are easier bc they're so small. Some things are trickier. It's a fun challenge.
Saturday morning minis!
It's a great way to start the day :)
I am so amazed at what you do!
Thank you Kathy 🐱
Another great project. It turned out fantastic. I ❤ it. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you so much 😊
That is so super cute!!!!
Beautiful
Thank you 😊
Awesome take on that kit! So cool.
Thank you :)
You added so much personality to this little kit with just some trash and bits you had lying around! Amazing! ❤
Thank you so much 😊
Such great detail! Thanks for sharing.
You're welcome 😁
I love all the little details you add!
I actually laughed when you made the comment about the graduation hat because I had just thought to myself that that's what it looked like. LOL But it made a way better fountain! Everything turned out perfect!
Paint it black and add a tassel. Just sayin' 😆
Absolutely loved this. You took a beautiful kit, and made it absolutely stunning.
Wow!!! You are so talented!!!
Thank you Sandra!
Absolutly beautiful ❤
Thank you so much :)
Fascinating! And so sweet, too!
Thank you!
Phenomenal! Looks so good!!!
Thank you 😊
Your creativity, details from beginning to end, and patience are always on point . Came out beautiful ❤
Thank you so much 😊
Very nice improvements to the kit.
Thank you!
I am truly in awe of your talent
Thank you Agnes :)
You’re my favorite UA-cam channel. I love all the extra details you add.
Wow! That's awesome. Thank you 😊
A dollhouse for a dollhouse? Mind blown
Thank you 😊
Im In awe !!! I’m so loving your videos. I’m so inspired !! Thank you foe sharing your talent and your ideas !! U are incredible ❤❤❤❤
Thank you so much :)
Fascinating
Thank you Judy
So tiny cute! I don’t know how you do it! Amazing. How’s your new dollhouse coming along? Have you started renovating it yet?
I haven't done anything to the Tudor dollhouse my friend recently gave me, but I know what I plan to do with it. I'm turning it into an English pub with a bar downstairs and living quarters upstairs.
I won't be decorating the Madison bc it's too huge to keep in my house. I'm repairing it, then finding it a new home.
How cute this turned out to be. You "I am digging through my lawn" I laughed that was funny. Thanks for sharing You have a wonderful day
Glad you enjoyed it 😁
The flocking was such a great idea for the flower boxes!
Thank you! 😊 I love how it looks.
Wow! You’re so talented that even a bandaged thumb doesn’t phase you 👍🤣👏😊
Thank you so much 😀 Must soldier on.
I’m so excited for this! 😍
I am so happy with how it turned out 🤗
@@queencityminis It turned out just adorable! So many clever customizations. The gazebo and fountain were brilliant additions. You definitely got a giggle out of me with the ‘graduation cap’ comment. I’m obsessed with the flocking uses (and colors) and going to order a selection for myself. You are so inspiring!❤
I loved this little house. You have such great vision
Thank you! I'm so happy with the little gardens. So cute
I really enjoy you videos!!
Thank you! I'm so glad
I am a lifetime model builder in different scales , at the moment I am modeling in 1/144 scale a diorama of the invasion of France and one with the railway bringing up defenses .The model you build has piqued my interest to add some small damaged building to my diorama :-) I watch all your videos and the inspire me to no end thank you 🙂
That sounds incredible! Thank you 😊
This was a very nice project to watch! I enjoy watching your clever ideas for details. At the end, I was thinking that as your roof was detailed, that Manet next time, add siding to your outside walls with horizontal strips of paper or cardboard.
Ugh! That's such a great idea. I wish I had thought of that. Thank you
@@queencityminis : maybe make the witch’s house from Hansel and Gretel. You could do scalloped gingerbread on the side
@@Cleansweep38 That's such a cool idea! I'm writing that down. I have so many upcoming projects but I need to get to that. Thank you
so so cute x you are so talented xx
Thank you so much 😊
You added such great details it doesn’t even resemble the kit.
That's my favorite thing to do! Completely transform them.
Yaaayy. ❤❤❤
Well said! 😁
So much tinier than I would ever attempt. 1/12th scale is challenging enough for me. 😆
You should try 1:48 scale. It's an easy, fun scale to work in.
Super cute! I love the flower details. ❤🌸
Same here! I'm proud of myself for not overdoing it. I almost surrounded the yard with flowery hedges and I think that would've been too much.
@@queencityminis It’s the perfect amount. It’s always hard to know when to stop 😆 especially with pretty flowers. ~Lesley
Fantastic! ❤
Thank you 😊
Great call on rounded steps. Amazing as always 💖💖💖
Thank you! 🤗
As usual, another genius tutorial!! Your ideas, your customized details, esp as small as this kit, are beyond what most people would overlook..this is what I also love to do, which is why your work/ tutorials are so interesting..your ideas I will definitely, absolutely put to use in my dollhouse crafting!! thank you so much for sharing with us all of your genius ideas, please keep on doing what you're doing and sharing ❤️❤️❤️👏👏👏
Thank you so much! I'm glad it was helpful. I have no plans of stopping, even though editing is draining my life force 😆
Do you have a sketch before you begin of what you will do or do you just build one idea on another? Your ability to see teeny things from bigger pieces of stuff and even trash astonishes me. I may have to tape my mouth closed while watching your videos. 💕
Hi! I don't plan beforehand. I tend to make it up as a I go along. Sometimes I run into issues bc of my lack of planning, but I can't seem to come up with ideas until I'm actually making things.
You definitely have patience and a steady hand , love all of the work that you do.
Thank you very much!
Absolutely adorable Shyra. Never thought I would enjoy tackling something like this but you changed my mind. Mind you, I may not have the patience to do it. We'll see. Thank you for sharing. Cheers Robyn ❤
This was a ton of fun! Thank you, Robyn
All I can say is wow! I can’t imagine working or something so tiny.❤
The worst part is when I lean back in my chair, then drop the tiny piece I'm holding. I've spent hours of my life looking for things I've dropped.
I absolutely LOVE the pergola! How perfect!
Thank you 🤗 I'm pleased with it. The forest moss is so good for making mini vines.
Your attention to detail is amazing 👏. I thought beginning with this scale would make my first attempt at doing mini would be easier 😂😂and use less material when i missed up, i don't have any i deal why i thought it would be easier 😂. Thank you for sharing this showing me that this scale is definitely something that I should not attempt. Your Amazingly Talented.
I hear you! 1:144 would be a tricky start. I find 1:24 scale easiest. That's half the size of 1:12. It's small enough to require less detail and less material, but big enough to be able to work with.
This was so fun to watch. I'm mesmerized by the flocking which becomes a garden in your hands. 🌷🌷🌷I must try this. The process of shingling the roof was genius. Love it all! 😍✨
I just subscribed to you ❤
Thank you! I bought an entire set of scissors for the one scalloped pair. Now I need to put the others to use.
Eeee!!! It's so cute I'm gonna die!! You always go above and beyond!
Thank you 😁
Absolutely amazing, so much attention to detail. I could watch your videos all day long. Thank you for sharing with us, great humour too... Laura
Thank you Laura!
This is the cutest little house I've seen! You did a fantastic job and all you're details are just beautiful! Makes me want to start a dollhouse, but I've got a long way to go! I did do a couple of mini Victorian pictures frames the other day from polymer clay. I haven't baked them yet, 'cause I want to make a few more things. Love your videos!
Thank you so much! Start with something small.
I’ve always passed on these teeny tiny houses but you may have convinced me to try one!! 🤞Yours is awesome!! So much detail and thought! 🙏
This was so much fun!
Perfection!!!!
I appreciate it 😊
Absolutely adorable ❤
Thank you so much 😊
my fav new subcription! THANK YOU for not using that nasty music so many use - voice over 100x better!
Thanks for the sub! Welcome 🤗 The voiceover is a pain, but I give the people what they want.
Absolutely. Beautiful and Mesmerizing. You are quite the Artist. Thanks for sharing such a JOY!
Thank you so much!
I love it!
Thank you 😊
That is adorable
Thank you :)
Attention to detail !! Wow 🤩
Thank you! 🤗
Beautiful! Soooo smol.
Thank you 😊
Just amazing and such great detail. You are so very talented!
Thank you so much 😀
How is this tiny house more thought-out and nicer than my own, actual house??
I hear you 😆
Belíssima eu amei, abraço do Brasil. 👏 ❤
Thank you 😁
You are amazing at detail! I love how it turned out.
Thank you so much!
So small and cute, you made it well ! ❤
Thank you! 😊
This is absolutely magnificent. It is honestly beyond beautiful. I am always impressed by your work, but this one really hit me.
I haven’t looked yet, but I hope there is a link to the kit.
Thank you so much for sharing your amazing talent and creativity.
I believe I did link the kit. I got it from www.earthntree.com
This is beyond adorable!!🥰 Would cardstock have been too thick to use for the "shingles"?
No, I don't think so. Cardstock would look great. Really fine sandpaper would look great, too, like tiny asphalt shingles. And it would sharpen the scissors 😆
@@queencityminis ..that's an awesome idea...thanks Shyra!😊
That is so beautiful!!!!❤❤❤
This was a ton of fun
@@queencityminis I have a mini that is small like that one!!! I’m kinda scared to do it!!!🥺
Beautiful! Thank you for sharing!
You are so welcome!
This turned out so cute! I really love the shingles idea. How long do you use your heat gun on clay to cure it?
Thank you! I used the same scissors to make shingles for a 1:48 scale house. They still work at a larger scale.
It really depends how thick the piece of clay is and what I plan to use it for. For small pieces that won't be handled, I cure them for just 30 seconds or so (like the pimento pieces I made to put in the canning jars of olives).
For something larger, a couple mins. I'll put the piece of clay inside folded aluminum foil and blow the hot air over it, keeping the heat gun moving so I don't burn the clay.
I'll also use the heat gun to partially cure a piece so I don't smush the detail, then I'll bake it when I'm done working on it.
Clay is stronger when baked so I bake all my larger pieces and anything that will be handled and may break.
@@queencityminis Thanks for your answer. I think I will try it on some small pieces and those I don't want to damage part way through making it.
Just amazing!
Thank you so much!
I hope you sold this house for at least $1.5 mil! 😅 It would be well worth every penny!
I don’t have patience to thread 🪡 a needle let alone do what you just did! Kudos to you!🥰
At least $1.5 mil 😆
@@queencityminis
😂🤣🥰
Your so amazing with the work you do
Thank you so much 😀
This is so cute I can’t even stand it😂❤
Thank you!
Wow, awesome job ❤😊
Thanks 😄
Incredible!😍
Thank you 😊
I’m on my period so I cried through half this video bc everything was so cute and tiny
🤣 I hear you. Sending sympathy
❤
What a cute username!
Adorable!!!! Can I please ask what glues you are using I'm always on the lookout for a faster drying one 😊
I use a white glue called Canopy Glue aka Formula 560. Gorilla Wood Glue is much cheaper and works really well, too
Thank you so much ❤
You are the best kit basher ❤
Oh yeah! Thank you
Do you find wood glue dries yellow? I’m doing an apothecary counter kit and I think Beacon 3-in-1 might have to be what I use for everything that doesn’t need superglue. The fresh Gorilla wood glue (mammoth bottle, too) ruined my white paint job. Hmph!
Yes, my wood glue dries yellow
The Beacon 3-in-1 would probably be a good call
Too bad this video didn't last for hours. It was super relaxing!
Awww, thanks!
Your videos aint long enough😂
Luckily I have plenty for you to binge on 😉
Where do you buy the 1 2 3 blocks?
