have a really fun, easy, and versatile trash to treasure project for
you today. We are going to take something that would normally get
thrown away or tossed in the recycling and make some bowls. The
“thing” we are using today is a blister pack from some over the
counter medication. But there are so many different items that come
in this type of package. Not only can you find a large variety of
round shapes that hold things like medication but there are other
shapes too. For instance I know I have had gum that came in
rectangular shaped ones, those would make some fun mini serving
trays. If you look around I bet you can find a lot of shapes and
sizes to play with. Really if you look hard enough you can make so
many different things with this easy project. </span></span>

first step is to empty the blister packaging in a way that preserves
the shape. I like to use a knife to cut the foil at each location and
pull the foil off to release the contents. This is a habit I have
gotten into over the years of making miniatures and trying to save
all kinds of stuff to use to make things with. Once the package is
empty peel off as much of the remaining foil on the back as you can.
Concentrate on the areas around the openings. </span></span>
<p></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br />
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Once
you have reached this step clean out the openings if needed. The
package I was using had some powdery residue in each one so I used a
cotton swab to wipe them out. </span></span>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br />
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I
know some people like to cut the little containers free and then add
the finish to them. I find it so much easier to add my finish to them
while they are still connected. Once this dries I can cut them free
and do any touch-ups needed. </span></span>

I am using some nail polish to add the finish. You could use other
things but I like nail polish for this for several reasons. First I
know it will stick to plastic pretty well and it is fairly durable.
Second it is cheap, well at least it is if you buy yours at the
dollar store like I do. Also it dries pretty quickly and I have a lot
of colors of it on hand. </span></span>
<p></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br />
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">So
I like to start adding the polish to the outsides of the bowls. I did
use 2 coats on the outside and then 2 coats on the insides of each
bowl. </span></span>
</p>

had been planning to make the insides of the bowls the same colors as
the outsides. However one of the tasks I was doing while waiting for
the polish to dry was putting my dishes away. I noticed that the
majority of the bowls I like to use in my kitchen have white
interiors and colors on the outside. I simply like the way food looks
in those bowls. So I decided to do the same when coloring the
miniature ones today. </span></span>

the polish dries we can start to cut them apart. I used a pair of
regular craft scissors to cut the packaging into strips then to cut
each bowl apart. It is much easier to cut around the individual bowls
if they are cut apart. </span></span>

camera I did play around with different tools to cut the bowls free

you have your bowls (or whatever you are making) it is time to color
the rim at the top, this will finish off the bowls and give them a
bit more visual thickness. </span></span>
<p></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">To
do this I made a small pool of nail polish on a piece of parchment
paper and placed the bowl into it top down. Allow it to sit for a few
seconds and carefully remove, turn it right side up and allow to dry.

with most of these projects I cut all the pieces from medium weight
white card-stock, the kind used to make cards and such. This is way
more economical than having to purchase a bunch of colors and in my
experience the paint colors are a lot more stable than the paper
colors. I rarely get noticeable fading with the painted projects. </span></span>

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">You
are free to use the pattern as many times as you wish and even to
sell the finished project. But, please don’t give away or sell my
patterns. I spend a lot of time creating them and the only
compensation I get is from people watching the videos and checking
out the blog post. I really want to keep offering these for free so
please if someone else wants to make one send them to the video and
blog so they can get their own copy of the pattern.</span></span></p>

is the case with most of these projects the first step once you have
you pattern prepared and cut is to glue the layers together. Just
take your time and line up the edges as well as you can. Once they
are glued I usually put them under a weight to keep everything nice
and flat as they dry. Once dry we can prep to paint. </span></span>

get ready to paint I like to put all the pieces down on a piece of
tape that is taped to my work tile sticky side up. This holds
everything in place until I am ready to work with it. I did use a
little piece of Washi tape for the single layer ear liner pieces. </span></span>

first thing to put together is to add those liner pieces to the ears.
I like to line them up at the bottom of the ear and try to keep them
centered side to side. Set those to the side to set up while we start
adding to the hat. By the time we are ready for them they should be
set up enough to add. </span></span>

by lining the hair up the way you want it, I like to put mine on a
piece of tape to make sure they stay where I want them. Then add some
glue to the back of the hat at the bottom edge and place it on the
hair pieces. Then add the nose into it’s little area just under the
hat. Since this hat has a brim add that next. Then add the ears with
the bottoms touching the top of the hat brim. Allow this glue to dry
enough that the pieces won’t shift when we are adding this piece to
the body. </span></span>

is really a trash to treasure project since everything I used were
found objects. I started with the base of the footstool, a 1” piece
cut from the tube from inside a roll of aluminum foil. The tubes for
aluminum foil are skinnier and made from thicker cardboard than other
rolls in my experience. To cut this I used my miter box (the regular
size one from the hardware store) so I could cut the tube easily
without smashing it. </span></span>

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br />
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">For
the top I traced the end of the tube onto a piece of cardboard that
was the backing for a tablet of paper I had used up. </span></span>

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br />
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I
then glued a piece of a cotton ball onto the top of the cardboard
circle to give just a bit of padding. </span></span>

the cotton ball is glued on it is time to cover the parts of the
footstool. I used some plain white 100% cotton fabric. You can use
any fabric that is lightweight, I do recommend using 100% cotton but
any color or even small prints would be fun for this project. I
didn’t have the energy or time to dig through my fabric stash so I
used white with the intention of painting my footstool later in the
project. </span></span>
<p></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br />
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">For
the top cut a piece of fabric that is big enough to fold under the
edges. I like to trim as I glue so I have enough fabric to work with.
Try to make the fabric tight enough there are no wrinkles and the
edges are as smooth as possible.</span></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br />
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">To
cover the base I used a piece of the same fabric cut to about 3” by
4 ½” </span></span>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Fold
over one edge (on the shorter side) to form a hem and glue in place
onto the tube being sure one long edge is lined up with the bottom of
the tube. Once this is in place cover the outside of the tube with
glue and wrap the fabric around the tube. There should be some
overlap where the piece meets the spot you started. Glue this in
place. Allow the glue to set up enough that the fabric won’t move
around. </span></span>

next step is to add some cording to the spot where the top cushion
meets the side of the footstool. I used some kitchen twine on mine
but you also use yarn. The yarn would be the best solution if you are
using a colored fabric or a patterned fabric and aren’t going to be
painting the footstool. If you are not painting your footstool you
are done as soon as the glue dries. </span></span>

project. <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1M4ALa7S550QPu4VdKGSoSVDSGqbMVLGA/view?usp=sharing">You can find the file here</a>. In the download there are 3

electronic cutting machine and a text file with handy hints and tips
(and the sizing information) to use the PNG.</span></span><p></p>

with most of these projects I cut all the pieces from medium weight
white card-stock, the kind used to make cards and such. This is way
more economical than having to purchase a bunch of colors and in my
experience the paint colors are a lot more stable than the paper
colors. I rarely get noticeable fading with the painted projects. </span></span>

it was time to glue the rainbow together. I did make an error in
gluing mine by lining the biggest arch up with the edge of the
backing. I really should have let it hang off a bit to give a bit
more surface for the last arch to have a bit more room. I was still
able to get it glued on but it would have been better to have more
surface area for it. </span></span>

we are going to add the braids to the hat along with the nose. I like
to use another piece of Washi tape to hold the braids in place while

added to the rest of the gnomess. </span></span>

I like to glue these projects in more stages. For me that works
better because then I know none of the pieces are going to shift on
me. However, this week I am running way behind schedule and I needed
to get the video done as quickly as possible. So I added all the
pieces at this point. You will need to let the glue dry enough that
there is no visible cloudy glue remaining when you add the clear
finish in the next step. </span></span>

really wasn’t sure I would get this video up this week. It took
forever to get shipped and then it sat after it cleared customs for
longer than I have seen packages sit in the past. Then according the
tracking it took a really round-about trip to get to me. Then it
reached Fargo where I live and tracking stopped. UPS said they had
turned it over to the USPS. Meanwhile the USPS tracking said that UPS
still had it. Then out of nowhere I got several messages from the
various tracking systems that it had been delivered. Now the made
dash to film and edit and upload this so you can all see what I got. </span></span>

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">So
I have been thinking about getting into UV Resin for several months
and I decided that it was time to just dive in. </span></span>

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">So
what did I get??<br />

bottle since I am not sure what I want and how it works or if I will
like using it. The bottle I got is 100 g and cost around $6.75. This
one says it is crystal clear, non-yellowing and fast cure. I guess as
we use it we will find out if those things are true or not. It also
says it is odorless, again I guess we will discover that for sure
soon. </span></span>

light, the other important element of this adventure. I do know in a
pinch you can cure UV resin with sunlight but I have heard that takes
a very long time. I picked a small light that is charged with a USB
cable so I don’t have to plug it in while I am using it. I paid
$2.19 for the light. Is this a good light. I have no idea at all.
Again this is all new to me and I am going to learn as I go. I
figured to start I would get this one and if I find it necessary I
will upgrade later when and if I feel the need to.</span></span><p></p>

gloves, anytime you are working with any kind of resin you should be
wearing gloves. I decided to try this set to see how they fit and
what the quality is like. As you saw in the video I tried one on and
it fits exactly like I hoped it would. I did get a size medium in
case you are curious. I paid $1.48 for a package of 10 gloves (5
pair) but now that I know I like them I will definitely be getting a
much larger package. And yes they are food safe so the same gloves
for in the kitchen and the craft-room is a nice thing. </span></span>

tweezers, these are not really part of the resin haul other than I
ordered them at the same time. I needed a new pair of tweezers and I
happened to see these and just ordered them. They come in 3 colors-
the purple, a pink, blue, and white. They cost was only $1.48 so I
wasn’t sure how they would be but so far they seem really good.
They feel good in my hand and they spring back really nicely. </span></span>

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">And
the last item the resin pigments I got a set that has 24 colors
hoping that I will be able to make anything we decide the dolls need.
The bottles are tiny about 5ml each and I have no idea how long they
will last. But again this is all new to me and I need to learn more
to even know what I need to get. The cost of this set was $5.39.</span></span></p>

week I thought it would be fun to make a simple topiary. I used what
I had on hand and this tutorial is meant to be a general guide for
you to create a topiary from what you have on hand. </span></span>
<p></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br />
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">For
mine I decided to use one of the wooden candle cups that I have in my
stash. You can use anything that is about the same size to make a
similarly size plant. The candle cup measures 1 ½” tall and 1 ¼”
in diameter (about) at the widest area. I had actually wanted to use
one of the plastic shot glasses but I seem to be out of those. So
this is what I quickly found to use. </span></span>

first step was to add some texture to the outside of the pot. I
started by winding some embroidery floss around the pot at the point
it is narrower. I used thick tacky glue to hold everything in place. </span></span>

I added some thick jute cord around the bottom of the pot.</span></span><p></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br />
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">And
then another band of the jute around the top edge. Do try to keep the
joints in the heavy cord on the same side of the pot. </span></span>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br />
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Then
I found some embossed stickers in my stash and used one that I think
was supposed to be a border around the center of the pot. If you use
stickers do be sure to go ahead and use a good glue to hold them in
place. The sticky on a lot of stickers will not hold up for very long
especially once we cover them with paint. </span></span>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br />
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Now
let all the glue dry. </span></span>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br />
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;"></span></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXYEgYkvQXeAdVv0gxDKFNwOwDVJKEhGA4QRCZ20E8clqLhKHvb34-0D8SNkIiw9nm8dGkyv-mgalkTfF3AGCl5_RIyBJOIl8oU6-AKtCFzEbpRy70BmjgiELxzJx55o3NYF4jgzGBHPFzBCp5QGnw5QATrrY5OAGJSseCE2jKWUnb8yXwx49vgwcx9P0d/s2245/DSCN3048.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1970" data-original-width="2245" height="281" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXYEgYkvQXeAdVv0gxDKFNwOwDVJKEhGA4QRCZ20E8clqLhKHvb34-0D8SNkIiw9nm8dGkyv-mgalkTfF3AGCl5_RIyBJOIl8oU6-AKtCFzEbpRy70BmjgiELxzJx55o3NYF4jgzGBHPFzBCp5QGnw5QATrrY5OAGJSseCE2jKWUnb8yXwx49vgwcx9P0d/s320/DSCN3048.JPG" width="320" /></a></span></span></div><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Now
the entire outside of the pot as well as down inside a ways needs a
coat of a mat black craft paint. This is going to blend everything
together and give us a base to work on. You might find that you like
how your pot looks after just the black paint and that is fine. If so
you can skip the next step. </span></span>
<p></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br />
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br />Since
I wanted to highlight my texture a bit more I added a very thin coat
of a silver paint. I actually brushed it on lightly then wiped off
most of it. That way it just acts as a highlight and my pot is still
black not silver. Allow to dry.</span></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br />
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;"></span></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZVaUNGXMYjtItjk-amqbxZwhfOYt5nUsJ7j40PyGUOQzWo7KEXCzWDpt_4XhU1WRQv0LhVPsZfcNeSvCYJ2_BcCS3FA5TYLz1n6oCBnw8mvZv-mMNt0Q1OAm0_4otcchhkv-5uBEPnFHvxjCC7dZ5m8HvVVHA2pj7ON-GgRmzjxXUHQFWu8uUZwpVjPAA/s2622/DSCN3049.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2622" data-original-width="2564" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZVaUNGXMYjtItjk-amqbxZwhfOYt5nUsJ7j40PyGUOQzWo7KEXCzWDpt_4XhU1WRQv0LhVPsZfcNeSvCYJ2_BcCS3FA5TYLz1n6oCBnw8mvZv-mMNt0Q1OAm0_4otcchhkv-5uBEPnFHvxjCC7dZ5m8HvVVHA2pj7ON-GgRmzjxXUHQFWu8uUZwpVjPAA/w196-h200/DSCN3049.JPG" width="196" /></a></span></span></div><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /> </span></span><p></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Now
a coat of a clear sealer will keep all the finishes intact and make
the pot look much better. </span></span>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br />
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br />
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">While
the sealer is drying we can work on the plant that will go into the
pot. I used a foam ball (it’s about 1 ½” in diameter) because
that was what I had on hand. You could use a foam ball, a bead,
whatever is in your stash when you go to make this. It doesn’t even
need to be round, topiaries are trimmed into a lot of different
shapes in real life. </span></span>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br />
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">For
the stem/trunk of my plant I used a piece of a branch. It is part of
the ones I collected when I was preparing to do the wood for the
fireplace. For this project I picked a piece that was pretty straight
and a diameter that I felt looked right with the foam ball. You could
also use a dowel or a wooden skewer for yours. </span></span>

step is to glue the foam ball onto the stick using some tacky glue. </span></span>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br />
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Next
we need to give the white foam a coat of leaf green paint. That is
because if we don’t it is going to be really hard if not impossible
to cover up the white if we miss any spots on the next couple of
steps. </span></span>

the paint is dry coat the foam ball with a thin glue, I used the same
Mod Podge I used to finish the pot. Try to not miss any spots. Then
cover the layer of glue with some dry herbs. I looked in my cabinet
for the bottle that looked like it was starting to fade in color the
worst and used some of that. Allow this glue to get completely dry,
overnight is best for this step. </span></span>

the glue is dry it is time to paint the leaves of our topiary. For
this I used the same leaf green that I painted the foam ball with as
well as a tiny bit of a light green and a bright green. I find the
that using a little bit of a couple of other greens helps to make
this look more realistic. You don’t need much and you can use
whatever greens you have in your paint stash. I like to use a flat
brush like what is used for stenciling for this since then I can put
the paint on with a pouncing motion as opposed to a brushing motion.
This helps to not knock off as many leaves. </span></span>

the green paint dries we can get the pot ready to use. I was pretty
sure this was going to be top heavy so I wanted to add some weight to
the bottom of the pot. All I could find were these little magnets but
anything will work to add weight. Normally I would use some nuts off
a bolt or some washers but I couldn’t find any. </span></span>

some glue to the inside of the pot, add your weights, and then add
some foam to the pot. I am using some floral foam today. Try to fill
the top of the pot as well as possible. Then add a coat of water

first step is to add a layer of thick tacky glue to the top of the
foam in the pot and add a layer of dried out coffee grounds. We use
these on the channel for soil a lot and I almost always have a jar of
them on hand. These are coffee grounds that have been used to make
coffee and then dried thoroughly in the oven. If done correctly they
will work really well and I’ve been using them without problems for
about 30+ years in various mini projects. </span></span>

while this glue is still wet we need to add the topiary to the pot.
Start by making a hole in the foam/soil with the stem of the topiary.
Then since this is a larger stem I pulled it out and added some glue
to the stem and replaced it back in the pot. Add more soil as needed
to cover any glue showing around whee the stem goes into the soil.
And allow to dry. </span></span>

is a super simple project to do. I know I have made a lot books over
the years on the channel. It is totally a possibility that I have
made some a lot like these in the past. But I wanted to make some
this week for a small project and I thought I would film it for
today’s tutorial. </span></span>

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br />

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">These
books are meant to either lay on a table or be in a bookcase. They
don’t open in other words. They are soooo easy to make and it is a
pretty relaxing process. You might find it hard to stop making them
once you get started. You could use different sizes of wood pieces
and make a fully stocked library in just a short time. </span></span>

with some coarse grit (80) sandpaper. This does 2 things, it ensures
the edge is flat but it also leaves very subtle lines going
lengthwise that will look a bit like pages in the book. I then added
a thin coat of a gold paint to this edge and let it dry. Since I
wanted a very thin coat I used my finger tip to apply the paint. You
could use other colors of paint depending on the look you are after.
Let the paint dry (it will only take a few minutes)</span></span></p>

using a finer grit sandpaper (120) I rounded the other long edge of
the craft stick. This will be the book binding and the paper cover
will wrap around it. </span></span>

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br />Once
you have a book shape that you are happy with cut the craft stick
into individual books. I didn’t measure because I didn’t care if
mine were the same I wanted them to be close to the same size but not
exactly the same. I would say for this width of craft stick ½”
would be the target length but just eyeball it. If you want bigger
books with wider wood strips make them taller. </span></span>

cut use the coarse sand paper on the short ends of the cut pieces to

this. Line up the 3 edges of the book that you painted with the edges
of the paper strip. Let this glue dry. </span></span>

the glue is dry we can paint the book covers. I would normally in the
past trimmed the cover to fit the book first but it occurred to me
today that it would be way easier to paint them first and trim
latter. This way I have a handle to hold onto for the painting step
and I can use my clamps to hold the books while they dry. So much
easier. I chose all fairly dark colors because that was the look I
was going for. I used a brown, a navy blue and a plum. Let the paint
dry. </span></span>

project.<a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/15X1TjeHzsP4CjzGckXmN4cGA0ObJETqr/view?usp=sharing"> You can find the file here.</a> In the download there are 3

electronic cutting machine and a text file with handy hints and tips
(and the sizing information) to use the PNG.</span></span><p></p>

with most of these projects I cut all the pieces from medium weight
white card-stock, the kind used to make cards and such. This is way
more economical than having to purchase a bunch of colors and in my
experience the paint colors are a lot more stable than the paper
colors. I rarely get noticeable fading with the painted projects. </span></span>

electronic cutting machine and a text file with handy hints and tips
(and the sizing information) to use the PNG.</span></span><p></p>

will say that you really could easily make this project by drawing
your own heart shapes. You just need 3 hearts that are in 3 sizes.
(mine are 1”, ¾” and 5/8”) You could also use those thin
wooden shapes that are available at the craft store (you will only
need one of each size in that case) I am sharing the pattern for this
simply because it was easier for me to re-size a heart I had already
made for another project than dig through my wood shape stash and
find something else. </span></span>

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br />
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">As
with most of these projects I cut all the pieces from medium weight
white card-stock, the kind used to make cards and such. This is way
more economical than having to purchase a bunch of colors and in my
experience the paint colors are a lot more stable than the paper
colors. I rarely get noticeable fading with the painted projects. </span></span>

are free to use the pattern as many times as you wish and even to
sell the finished project. But, please don’t give away or sell my

compensation I get is from people watching the videos and checking
out the blog post. I really want to keep offering these for free so
please if someone else wants to make one send them to the video and

all the hearts. Allow this paint to dry.</span></span><p></p>

the paint dries it is time to glue the hearts together. I like these
the best when the smallest heart is the middle layer (that’s why I
painted ti with the more contrasting color paint) but feel free to
layer any way you wish. Some of the ones I saw online for real size
were glued to be taller but I went with wider shorter set up for
mine. Play around with the pieces before you get out the glue and see
how you like them the best. Allow the glue to dry.</span></span><p></p>

I couldn’t get it to work on my door so I placed it next to the

always I do want to sincerely thank all of you for watching my videos

supporting me in this way. If I could ask you all to do just a bit
more by subscribing to the channel and liking the videos and leaving

I want to I had intended to have this tutorial up for last Sunday but
life (weather and then a bit of a cold) got in the way. So I decided
to get it up for the midweek tutorial instead. I do try to make the
midweek videos shorter but I really wanted to this one as soon as
possible.</span></span><p></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br />
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span face="Trebuchet MS, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: medium;">And
for the title of the video I Googled what a female gnome is called
and from what I learned gnomess seems to be the correct term so
that’s what I decided to go with here. If someone has a better idea
let me know. </span></span>

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span face="Trebuchet MS, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: medium;">I
have another free pattern for you to download so you make the
project. <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1TfIwvP_8xexcnIgoJUZ8CeHR4M1s_BBd/view?usp=sharing">You can find the file here.</a> In the download there are 3
files: a PDF for hand-cutting of the pieces, a PNG to use with your
electronic cutting machine and a text file with handy hints and tips
(and the sizing information) to use the PNG.</span></span></p>

with most of these projects I cut all the pieces from medium weight
white card-stock, the kind used to make cards and such. This is way
more economical than having to purchase a bunch of colors and in my
experience the paint colors are a lot more stable than the paper
colors. I rarely get noticeable fading with the painted projects. </span></span>
<p></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br />
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span face="Trebuchet MS, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: medium;">You
are free to use the pattern as many times as you wish and even to
sell the finished project. But, please don’t give away or sell my
patterns. I spend a lot of time creating them and the only
compensation I get is from people watching the videos and checking
out the blog post. I really want to keep offering these for free so
please if someone else wants to make one send them to the video and
blog so they can get their own copy of the pattern.</span></span></p>

start the project we need to glue the layers of each unit together.
When you are done you should have the pieces (units) that are shown
in this picture. I just use a thin layer of a thick tacky glue to put
mine together. I have the best luck that way. I have had many
projects in the past that I used glue stick on that fell apart in a
short time so I avoid using them. This glue needs to be completely
dry before we go onto the next step which is painting.</span></span></p>

like to add a thin coat of Mod Podge to the pieces I am going to be
painting any details on. This way if/when I mess up I can use a
cotton swab and “erase” my mistakes. Without the barrier of the
Mod Podge it is much more difficult to get the mistakes off the
surface. Allow this coat of Mod Podge to dry. </span></span>

we are adding the details. I used a lighter brown for the details on
the braids. I just made some short diagonal lines on each side. I am
hoping to get better with painting the braids over time. Also add a
line of the color of the back piece to the braid to look like a hair
tie holding the braid once the lines dry a bit. </span></span>

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span face="Trebuchet MS, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: medium;">For
the design on the mug I went with a white flower that was very
simple. Later I thought it might have been cool to see if I had any
tiny stickers that could have been added. Or if you have any tiny
rubber stamps you could go that route. In other words add whatever
design you want using whatever medium you desire. </span></span>

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span face="Trebuchet MS, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: medium;">For
the hat I used a light blue and made some diagonal stripes then added
white dots. I really didn’t have set idea of what I wanted to do I
just wanted to make a fun hat design here. Let all this paint dry
completely. </span></span>

that all the painting is done we can start to put her together. I
decided to start with the hat/ hair/ nose unit. This way I could line
all of these pieces up the way I wanted them before adding to the
body/back piece. To do this I put down a piece of washi tape and
lining the braids up on this so that the top width is the same as the
bottom of the hat and their tops are even. Then I glued the hat to
them. I then added the nose to this piece tucking it into the spot in
the hat where it goes. Let this glue set up enough that these pieces
will stay in place when moved off the tape. </span></span>

the filler and making sure the side opposite the handle lines up. The
bottom edge of the front will be longer than the back piece. </span></span>

the midweek video this week I thought it was time to do a good old
trash to treasure project. So as I was thinking about what I wanted
to make I a couple of mornings ago I took note that the top of my
tube of toothpaste was one of those that looks like a lamp shade. I
know a lot of us have used these for exactly this purpose but I
decided it would still be fun to do again. Kind of like visiting
someplace familiar. </span></span>

I dug through my stash to find a lamp base, I had thought of using a
large bead but I was really wanting to do something a bit different.
Then I saw these golf tees in my wood stash. Perfect! They look like
a modern lamp base. So off to the craft table to make a modern lamp. </span></span>

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">For
the lamp base I am using this golf tee, I looked them up online and I
see they come in different sizes so you could make lamps of this
style in different sizes too. </span></span>

cut the tip of the golf tee off so it just fits into the cap with
just a bit of the skinny part showing to look like the part where the
bulb screws into. The idea is you want the shade to sit a bit above
the wider part of the base (mine is about 1/8” above) so it looks
right. </span></span>

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br />
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Then
use the glue of your choice that will glue plastic and put some into
the cap. Then center the golf tee in the cap keeping it as straight
up and down as possible. I used e6000, but you could use whatever
glue you have. I think this might be a good place to use the dreaded
hot glue gun even. Allow the glue to dry completely.</span></span></p>

electronic cutting machine and a text file with handy hints and tips
(and the sizing information) to use the PNG.</span></span><p></p>

with most of these projects I cut all the pieces from medium weight
white card-stock, the kind used to make cards and such. This is way
more economical than having to purchase a bunch of colors and in my
experience the paint colors are a lot more stable than the paper
colors. I rarely get noticeable fading with the painted projects. </span></span>

first step is to glue the units together, you will find that the
pieces are grouped together on the pattern to make this easier. In
the end you should have 1 body (4 layers thick), 1 hat (3 layers), 1
beard (3 layers), 1 snowflake (3 layers), 2 hands (each 3 layers
thick), 2 shoes/feet (each 3 layers) 1 hat brim (2 layers) and 1
pompom for the hat (2 layers) Allow the glue to dry completely before
moving on the next step.</span></span><p></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br />
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Next
we need to paint the units. I like to lay down a piece of tape on my
work tile sticky side up (anchored down on each end with more tape.
And lay my units on the sticky surface grouped by the color they will
be painted. This is why the glue needs to be all the way dry because
I have found if the card-stock is still damp from the glue when I put
it on the tape it is more apt to tear badly when I remove it later. </span></span>

can begin the process of assembling our gnome. I like to start with
gluing the beard and feet to the body unit. Being careful that
nothing extends beyond the flat bottom edge of the body piece. I like
to start with the beard centering it side to side and best as I can.
Then add the shoes/feet on either side at the bottom. This glue needs
to set up enough that the pieces will stay in place but it doesn’t
need to dry completely. </span></span>

could prevent a close fit of the two pieces. </span></span>

is a project I should have done a long time ago. But since that
didn’t happen and I have the door knob now I decided to show you
how I am doing this today. (also this way I actually get the door
knob installed before I loose it and have to buy another one…..)</span></span><p></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;"></span></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5QHj3DnmMcSRplUItJyHcE2_HNFNK0WJqyXyM4a7b8pwT4Tr1T3SorsVX6gfq1ZRT1c70Cma4yDTjqhvCA-_Z8SmF_8FLjiepFqDgvN-GZ-DKCcZm8TtT3SvOHlwNpvwtH6CwHjZPWZMdKPum-kNmU4_U0oqa9xb3XnLR6PsRbCIbaKsT5szSpTscaRxF/s3254/DSCN2781.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3254" data-original-width="2605" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5QHj3DnmMcSRplUItJyHcE2_HNFNK0WJqyXyM4a7b8pwT4Tr1T3SorsVX6gfq1ZRT1c70Cma4yDTjqhvCA-_Z8SmF_8FLjiepFqDgvN-GZ-DKCcZm8TtT3SvOHlwNpvwtH6CwHjZPWZMdKPum-kNmU4_U0oqa9xb3XnLR6PsRbCIbaKsT5szSpTscaRxF/s320/DSCN2781.JPG" width="256" /></a></span></span></div><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br />The
door knob set I purchased has a back plate with a key hole detail. I
both love and hate this little detail. If handled properly I love the
look of the extra detail even if it is a bit out of scale. However, I
hate when the color of the door shows through the key hole. I am just
as guilty of this as anyone. I can’t remember how many times I have
put a door knob on the exterior door only to notice the paint showing
a day later. So I started doing this little trick I show today and I
love how it looks. </span></span>
<p></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br />
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">To
fill the hole I cut a piece of paper, I used a scrap of card-stock
that was on my work table from a recent Cricut project, and cut it to
a size that will fit in the recess of the back plate of the door
knob. It doesn’t have to be good fit just small enough to fit in
all the way and big enough to cover the key hole. </span></span>

I use a black pen, or paint, or whatever is handy and color one side
of the paper.</span></span><p></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Then
use a glue, like e6000 to glue the paper in place to cover the key
hole. Let this glue dry, overnight is probably best since we will be
putting glue against it to attach it to the door. </span></span>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br />
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">To
make the placement easier I cut what is basically a jig to help me
line up the door knob. I first measured from the center of the door
knob to the bottom of the back plate of it and found that to be about
½” since I want to glue this in place with the door knob at just
around 3” from the porch floor I cut a piece of wood to 2 ½”
long. In this case I used a piece of a craft-stick that was on my
work table. That way when I place the stick with one end on the porch
floor I can glue the door knob in place with the bottom of the back
plate resting on the top end of the stick. Then I know my door knob
is in the place I want it and I don’t have to try to get a ruler in
the already cramped working area of the front porch. (yeah, this
would have been soooooo much easier before I put the door in place)</span></span></p>

using a glue that will work with all the materials we are trying to
glue together (metal, paper and wood) add some glue to the back of
the door know plate and put it in place on the door. I do prefer a
glue that dries clear for this. Depending on the glue you use you may
need to hold the door knob in place for longer than I did. I found
mine stayed in place with just a few moments of holding. Allow the
glue to set up before moving touching it again,</span></span></p>

hardest part of this project was probably trying to figure out a way
to get the camera set up in a safe way (where I wouldn’t knock it
down) in a place where you guys could see what I was doing. So tape
roll to the rescue, the camera with the tripod base fit perfectly on
top of a bit roll of masking tape. Hey you use what you have, right??</span></span><p></p>

with most of these projects I cut all the pieces from medium weight
white card-stock, the kind used to make cards and such. This is way
more economical than having to purchase a bunch of colors and in my
experience the paint colors are a lot more stable than the paper
colors. I rarely get noticeable fading with the painted projects. </span></span>

project is assembled a bit differently than some of our other
projects. I had to try a couple of different ways of doing this to
find the easiest. The first step is to take two of the circle pieces
and make marks to find the center of them. Make sure your lines are
at a right angle of each other. We will use these lines to help us
line up other pieces later. </span></span>
<p></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br />
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">For
assembly we will need a form to work on. I am using an empty glue
stick that I keep for this purpose. It is about ¾” in diameter and
I have some parchment paper wrapped around it so projects don’t
stick. You can use anything that is round and the same diameter. Just
be sure to wrap it in something that glue won’t stick to. For this
project you will also need either 2 rubber bands or 2 of the elastic
hair ties. </span></span>

glue one of the plain circles and one of the ones with the lines on
it, making sure the lines are visible. Now wrap the piece over the
form you are using. Lining up one of the lines lengthwise with the
form and use the elastic bands to hold it in place. Set it aside to
allow the glue to start setting up. We won’t need it completely dry
for the next step but set enough that the pieces you just glued won’t
slide around.</span></span><p></p>

</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">This
is also a good time to glue the 3 rectangle pieces into a single unit
and set aside. You will need that later and it will be best for the
glue to be dry when you use it. </span></span>

the glue has set add glue to one of the long skinny strips, just a
note these are cut longer than you will need. That way you can trim
to fit your log holder. Add a line of glue on top of the line on the
circle wrapped around the form and add the strip to the glue starting
and ending at the bottom and trimming as needed. This is now the
handle of the log holder. Once in place glue the other 2 circles
together again being sure to have the lines visible. Add glue to the
plain side and carefully add it the outside of the log holder. This
will cover the handle, holding it in place and add more strength to
the finished piece. Use the lines to help you line it up with the
first layer and slip the elastic bands over the ends to hold in
place. Make sure everything is lined up the way you want it. Just a
note the bottom ends will line up but the top edge by the handle will
not line up completely, this is by design and is meant to look give
some detail to the finished piece. Allow this glue to dry completely
before we move to the next step.</span></span><p></p>

we get to start the painting process. I do prefer to add a “handle”
whenever I am painting something small. This time I used some poster
tack and attached a craft-stick temporally to act as the handle. Then
use some black craft-paint and paint the areas that you can. You will
most likely need at least 2 coats since we are putting black over
white. Pay close attention to the edges and anywhere the units join
up. Look from all angles for white spots and cover them as well as
you can. Allow to the paint to dry. </span></span>

the clear finish dries it is time to add the optional firewood to the
log holder. I cut mine from a small branch I found on one of my walks
a while back. If you do this be sure to bake it off in the oven for
long enough to kill any bugs that might be present and to dry the
wood out. I do this immediately when I bring any branches in so any
bugs that might have taken up residence don’t move into my home.</span></span><p></p>

was ordered on October 27<sup>th</sup> with an expected delivery date
no later than December 26<sup>th</sup>. They arrived on November 24<sup>t</sup>
well before the expected date. This is another of the Cup Model sets,
which are my one of my favorites. The cost was under $3 for the set

clear “glass” mug, this is really cool and unlike most of the
mugs we get in these sets we will be able to showcase a fun drink in
it and actually see what it looks like. I’m thinking some kind of
coffee drink with layers would be a lot of fun. The quality of this
mug is very nice and as far as I remember this is the first clear mug
we have gotten. </span></span>

I was so sure I had hit record on the camera before I opened this one
and only found out I didn’t when I was getting ready to edit the

another repeat, this time we get another white wine glass. I actually
am very happy to get repeats in these pieces because that just means
we can make more beverages for the dolls and still have more to fill
the cabinets in the dollhouse. </span></span>

these amber color glasses that we get in the blind bags are like
taking a trip back in time to when I was growing up. I think
everyone’s mom had a set of these in their kitchen back in the day.

this to-go coffee cup with the lid is a first in the bags and I am
really excited to see it. I do think I will paint it to make the
details show up better but it is really cool. And so many of us do
have this style cup at our side a lot anymore. (mine is sitting next
to me filled with hot tea as I prepare to edit the video and get this
post written)</span></span></p>

what are my thoughts on the items we got in today’s blind bags? I
am very happy we got some more of the some of my favorite pieces for
previous sets. We also got a couple of new pieces and I am very
excited to see new things showing up. I love the idea of cups with
lids, that is going to add some new possibilities of what we can do
with those pieces.</span></span><p></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br />
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Again,
I am sorry I missed filming the second bag. Not sure what happened
because I was sure I had hit record but apparently I didn’t since
there was o clip for that one. Thankfully it was the same as #7 so
you got to see me open that one at least. </span></span>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br />
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I
also want to take a couple of moments to compare these to the pieces
I recently hauled from Temu. Overall the quality is the same. The big
difference is that these don’t require me to clean off the little
bits of plastic from the molding process. They are all cleaned up and
ready to use unlike the pieces from Temu. Once cleaned up I don’t
think anyone could tell the difference between them.</span></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br />
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"> <span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">So
I guess the big question would be is it worth it to pay a few cents
more to get the pieces ready to use. I will probably keep buying from
both places for the foreseeable future. There are pluses to both
sources. I do love opening the blind bags so much, it’s like
opening up birthday or Christmas presents. The surprise is really
fun. I do love that I have little or no work to do with the pieces
before I use the. On the other hand. On Temu I can see pretty much
what I am going to get (I think I had a couple of substitutions from
the picture in mine) so if you are looking for a certain piece you
are more apt to get it there. Also the price is much lower on Temu
and they come much quicker, normally I get them in about a week as
opposed to the month that the blind bags normally take. </span></span>

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Be
sure to let me know what you would like to see in some pf these. Or
are there other things you want to see on the channel in future
videos? Let me know. </span></span>

</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">As
always I do want to sincerely thank all of you for watching my videos
and reading my blog posts. It means so much to me that you are
supporting me in this way. If I could ask you all to do just a bit
more by subscribing to the channel and liking the videos and leaving
comments. Those help more than you can imagine. Also if you could
pass the links on to your friends I would appreciate it so much. </span></span>

this plant pot is one of my favorites in this set. It is just a

it will need to be painted to make it look the part but this is going
to be a fun project in the future. </span></span>

so is it a lid to something or is it a candy dish. I don’t see any
items in this set that it would really fit as a lid. At least not any
where it would stay on by itself and not have to be glued. I suppose
it could be displayed sitting next to item #15 but then I would
probably loose it. I think I will use it as a candy dish unless I can
figure where it is supposed to go. </span></span>

for a few of my thoughts, first I know that here in the US buying
from Temu is a bit controversial. I am not going to enter into that
discussion other than acknowledge it this one time. I really see it
as no different that buying the same items off eBay shipped from
Asia. </span></span>
<p></p>
<p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><br />
</p>
<p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I
will continue to purchase from both as long as the quality stays as
it is or gets better and the prices stay low. I can get a lot for my
money from these sources. </span></span>
</p>
<p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><br />
</p>
<p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I
also purchase items made in the US as well as items from Europe and
elsewhere. </span></span>
</p>
<p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><br />
</p>
<p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Compared
to the blind bags these are cheaper and you do get a better idea of
what you are going to get. I did take a closer look at the listing
photo and I think I have a couple of different ones from the photo
but I am not positive. For the most part I got what is in the
picture. These also arrive much faster than the blind bags of eBay. </span></span>
</p>
<p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><br />
</p>
<p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">But,
for me these are not nearly as much fun because I really have come to
love opening all those little bags in the blind bag sets. It’s a
lot like Christmas and it is so much fun to try to guess what is
inside each bag before I open it.</span></span></p>

take a moment to talk about today’s project. I keep seeing these
little 3-D trees all over my social media feeds. They seem to
normally be made of wood and I see them both painted and left as the
natural wood color. I thought since they are so popular in real life
the dollhouse family should get some too. </span></span>
<p></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br />
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span face="Trebuchet MS, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: medium;">So
I have another free pattern for you to download so you make the
project. <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1q0B6FnrBrjSnuVwtLhln2i1IO0Ihzujt/view?usp=sharing">You can find the file here</a>. In the download there are 3
files: a PDF for hand-cutting of the pieces, a PNG to use with your
electronic cutting machine and a text file with handy hints and tips
(and the sizing information) to use the PNG.</span></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br />
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span face="Trebuchet MS, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: medium;">As
with most of these projects I cut all the pieces from medium weight
white card-stock, the kind used to make cards and such. This is way
more economical than having to purchase a bunch of colors and in my
experience the paint colors are a lot more stable than the paper
colors. I rarely get noticeable fading with the painted projects. </span></span>

project is pretty simple with only two shapes for each tree and 3
layers of each shape. I decided to make 3 sizes because that seems to
be how most people are showing off the real ones. Once you have your
pieces cut you simply need to glue the units together like I show in
the video. When you are done you should have these 6 units. To glue I
like to use a nice thick Tacky glue and apply a thin even coat with a
toothpick. Once glued I would suggest putting these under a weight to
help them stay flat until they get at least part way dry. Once they
pieces are completely dry we can move on to assembly. </span></span>

assembly for this project is really simple because now all we need to
do is add glue and slip the slotted units together to form a tree
shape. Once the are put together look at them from different angles
to make sure they are standing straight and let the glue dry. If you
have a huge empty space in the center just add a bit more glue to the
area to fill it. I didn’t have any problems with the ones I made on
camera but the one I made before filming to test the pattern had a
large gap in the center.</span></span><p></p>

the glue dries we can paint our trees, you can use any color you want
on your trees. I just went with a very boring bright green but I’ve
seen these in many colors. A lot of people are just leaving the real
ones plain wood and you can get that look with a light beige paint.
If you want yours white I would still paint it to help disguise the
layers of card stock. </span></span>

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br />
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span face="Trebuchet MS, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: medium;">I
do like to use some really sticky double sided tape to temporarily
attach the trees to craft sticks. This adds a handle to the tree and
makes it so much easier to paint them.</span></span></p>

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span face="Trebuchet MS, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: medium;">Once

recently ordered this set of Dollhouse Miniature Tableware from Temu.
I wasn’t sure what to expect since the reviews on the site were
mixed. But for the price I couldn’t resist, $2.48 for 32 pieces. I
knew there had to be at least a few pieces that would be usable in
the dollhouse and in projects here in the channel. Now since this
package has 32 pieces the video is a bit longer than I try to have
for these midweek videos but at the same time I want to keep the
review/haul type videos on the midweek slot. Also the end of the
video is a bit rushed because my camera decided to flash it’s “low
battery” warning at me and I have been having a lot of problems
with getting the battery to charge lately so I needed to finish
before it died. </span></span>

the first thing I pulled out of the bag was this serving size bowl.
It has a rather wide rim but I know I’ve seen bowls this size in
real size. It measures 1” in diameter and about ¼” tall. So a
really nice size for a serving bowl.</span></span></p>

I am not as big of a fan of this large flower shaped platter/bowl as
some of the other pieces but I think it can be made into something
fun. It measures 1 ¼” in diameter.</span></span></p>

my thoughts on this package of goodies. I am very happy with what I
got and I think I will most likely buy the same set again after I use
some of these in projects. It looks like from the listing on Temu
that I got exactly what they show so I can confidently order again to
replace pieces I need more of for future projects. At $2.48 for the
set that means each piece comes in at less than 8</span></span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">¢</span></span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">
so a very good deal. I am impressed overall with the quality of the
pieces. I did notice that the larger pieces are just slightly thicker
than the smaller ones helping to keep everything look more in scale. </span></span>

week for our Sunday Tutorial I decided we should make a screen to
place in front of the mini fireplace we made recently. I decided to
do two versions of the same screen. On the first one I used some
sheet acetate as the screen to replicate a glass fireplace screen.
For the second one I used some net that had held garlic to make a
screen that looks like a metal mesh screen.T</span></span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">ruthfully when i started filming i had no idea if the second one would work.</span></span>

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br />For
this project I have another free pattern for you to download so you
make the project. <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ZtmZ9LfUSaVxKqVmc1Z5WCwya7EzgRVm/view?usp=sharing">You can find the file here.</a> In the download there
are 3 files: a PDF for hand-cutting of the pieces, 2 PNG files to use
with your electronic cutting machine and a text file with handy hints
and tips (and the sizing information) to use the PNG.</span></span></p>

project is a bit different in that you are getting 2 PNG files. The
one labeled as “template” can be cut from any paper. I used some
printer paper this is only a template to use for sizing purposes.
Once cut set it aside until we need it. </span></span>

the PNG labeled “frame” cut the pieces from medium weight white
card-stock, the kind used to make cards and such. This is way more
economical than having to purchase a bunch of colors and in my
experience the paint colors are a lot more stable than the paper
colors. I rarely get noticeable fading with the painted projects. The
second pattern piece, the template can be cut from any scrap paper, I
just used printer paper. It is just used to make sure we have our
screen material cut to the correct size and to aid in layout of the
pieces. </span></span>
<p></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">You
are free to use the pattern as many times as you wish and even to
sell the finished project. But, please don’t give away or sell my
patterns. I spend a lot of time creating them and the only
compensation I get is from people watching the videos and checking
out the blog post. I really want to keep offering these for free so
please if someone else wants to make one send them to the video and
blog so they can get their own copy of the pattern.</span></span></p>

1 center section and 2 side sections. And also 3 units made up of 2
layers each of the center and 2 side sections. Make sure this glue is
completely dry before going to the next step. </span></span>

tape down on my work surface with the sticky side up and use that to
hold the individual units in place to paint. All the card-stock units
get a good coat of mat black craft-paint. Allow this to dry
completely before moving to the net step.</span></span><p></p>

the template piece to cut a piece of acetate sheet a bit bigger than
the template. This is the label from the acetate sheet that I have, I
know it is still available but the label is much different now
because this package is at least 20 if not closer to 30 years old.
The important bit of information on the label is the thickness of the

I am using e6000 glue. This will stick everything together really
well. Just be sure to work in a ventilated area, this glue smells
horrid. One this first side we are working with the 3 units that are
made up of 2 layers. This is going to be the inside of the screen
when we are finished. To start we are just going to glue on the
center unit to the acetate lining it up with the template. Use a
toothpick to spread a small even coat of e6000 on the back side of
the unit. Then let this dry for long enough to let the glue set up so
it won’t move when we glue the side pieces on to the acetate. Put
something heavy on top while it drys so everything stays nice and
flat. </span></span>

we glue the side sections onto the acetate we will need to use a thin
spacer so they leave an even gap to allow the finished screen to
fold. I used a slim stick from Hobby Lobby because it gave me a small
gap that was just the size I was looking for. Again add a weight to
the screen as the glue dries so prevent warping. </span></span>

the glue dries enough that everything will stay in place remove both
the acetate and the template from your work surface. Then tape the
acetate back down with the pieces you have glued on facing down. Now
it is just a simple process of using the same glue to glue the 3
layer units to the front side of the screen lining them up with the
pieces we already glued. Add some weight and allow the screen to dry
completely. </span></span>

there we have it two different fireplace screens. And you could vary
this in a lot of ways. The one with the acetate would also look great
painted to look like brass (a warm gold tone) You could add some
really small vines and leaves to make a design on the mesh one. There
are so many possibilities just use your imagination and look at real
fireplace screens for inspiration..</span></span>

week I decided we should start on the some of the accessories I have
planned for the fireplace we made. This week we are making a grate to
set the logs in the firebox onto. </span></span>
<p></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br />
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I
decided that clay would be the best medium for making our fireplace
grate look the way I wanted it to look. But before we can get out the
clay we need to create the mold or jig that we are going to use to
form our clay to bake it. </span></span>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br />
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I
am making this grate to fit into the fireplace we made on the channel
and for that I made the firebox very shallow to it would not take up
too much room in the dollhouse. So I am making what is basically ½ a
fireplace grate. In the real world the depth of the grate would be
about twice what we are making and the bars that form the basket
would curve up on both the front and the back. Ours today only curves
up in the front and sits right against the back of the firebox. </span></span>

this mold I am using some craft sticks. For the leg part of our piece
I used cut 4 pieces of one of the really big craft sticks from
Walmart. The length isn’t really that important around an inch is
what I did. Then glue the 4 pieces of the large craft stick together
and clamp until the glue dries completely. </span></span>
<p></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br />
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">To
form the mold for the top pieces I cut one of the regular size craft
sticks from the dollar store in half and glued and clamped it until
dry.</span></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br />
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">If
you are going to make larger fire grate that has the full basket use
a wider craft stick (like the tongue depressor size) and form those
pieces just like the legs. </span></span>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br />
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">The
glue on these pieces needs to be completely dry because they are
going to go into the oven when we bake the clay on them and if they
aren’t completely dry the glue could soften enough to make the mold
come apart and distort the shape of our clay pieces. </span></span>

the glue is dry sand the edges of the pieces. Don’t worry about the
cut ends just the part that were the edges of the craft sticks.
Smooth them out a bit. Then wrap with at least 2 layers of aluminum
foil. The foil has two jobs. First it is going help smooth the edges
so your clay hangs nicely. But more importantly if the clay tries to
stick to the foil it is really easy to peel it off. If you skip the
foil and the clay sticks to the wood it will be really hard if not
impossible to remove it without breaking it. </span></span>

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br />
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">We
only need one color of polymer clay, black. For mine I used some Fimo
soft. You can use whatever brand you prefer for this just keep in
mind that the softer the clay when you work with it the more brittle
the finished piece could be. That has been my experience anyway. </span></span>

condition your black clay to make it workable. Then roll out a sheet
of clay using some craft sticks as a depth guide. Once rolled cut
strips of clay about the same width as the thickness of a craft
stick. This will create what looks like square metal bars to make the
grate out of. </span></span>

lay some of the clay strips over the bigger mold cutting the ends
even with the bottom of the sides of the mold. You will need 2 for
the grate but I highly recommend making at least 4 if not more. All
the pieces we are working with are very fragile and I broke a couple
of each size. </span></span>

the smaller pieces lay strips over the narrower mold and cut them
even with the bottom of one side of the mold and then even with the
top edge on the other end. They should form something that looks kind
of like a capital letter L. Again make at least a few extra.</span></span><p></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br />
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Leave
the pieces on the molds and bake at the temperature recommended for
your clay for 10 minutes. Allow to cool to room temperature.</span></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br />
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Now
time for assembly of our fireplace grate. Before we get to the how to
do this step I am going to admit that the entire project almost went
into the trash at this point. I had planned to use liquid clay but
that was such a total fail that I knew I had to come up with a
different plan. So I spent some time thinking and doing some research
on what glues I could use. </span></span>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br />
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">To
begin I wrapped some masking tape sticky side out around the mold I
had used to form the legs for the grate. This is going to be a really
important thing for a couple of reasons. First being it makes lining
everything up so much easier. The other reason I’ll talk about in a
bit. </span></span>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br />
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">On
the surface of the tape I made some pencil lines. Front to back drew
a line a ¼” from each end. Then I added 2 more lines that were ¼”
apart. These 4 lines are where we will be lining up the small pieces
that form the basket of the grate. </span></span>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br />
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Then
I drew a straight line lengthwise on the tape and a second on 3/8”
away from it. These are the lines I am going to line the legs up
with. </span></span>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br />
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Because
the sticky side of the tape will hold the legs in place so I can work
with them this step will be so much easier that I first thought it
would be.</span></span></p>

I am using glue I had decided that super glue (CA glue) would be the
best choice for the project. I have used super glue many times with
polymer clay I know I have a tube of it somewhere. Somewhere being
the operative word, I searched everywhere I could think of to find
the tube I put away a couple of weeks ago when I cleaned off my work
table and did some tidying up. I have no idea where the “easy to
find again” place I put it is so I had to come up with another
option. I am also out of my other two favorite glues to use oath cure
polymer clay, at least one of which I don’t think is even made any
more. So I did some research online and according to a couple of
jewelry making sites e6000 is polymer clay safe. So that was what I
ended up using. The sites I looked at did say the bond can be brittle
but this won’t be handled very much and the spots can easily be
re-glued if needed in the future. </span></span>
<p></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br />
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Let
the glue cure then we can move onto the next step. </span></span>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br />
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Once
the glue holding the grate together has cured enough that it will
hold together. It will be time to remove it from the mold. This is a
step that can be very frustrating. I actually broke the one grate I
made on camera and had to make a second one. So learn from my
mistake. </span></span>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br />
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">To
remove the grate first slit the masking tape on the bottom side and
slide it carefully off the mold. Do not lift the ends of the tape at
all. Just slide it sideways to remove it. Then carefully peel the
tape off the bottom of the fireplace grate. This is the other reason
for the tape, if we had glued this on top of just the foil and it
stuck we would have a lot more trouble removing it. </span></span>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br />
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Once
the grate is off the mold glue in some firewood into the grate so it
looks like the doll family can light the fire on a cold night. </span></span>

my firewood I picked up a small branch on my walk last week. As soon
as I got it home I placed it on a baking sheet on top of a sheet of
aluminum foil and baked it at 250<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">°</span>F
for about an hour. This should kill any bugs that might try to come
into your home with the stick. It will also dry out any dampness
remaining in the wood. I like to put it on foil just in case it leaks
anything out, that protects my baking sheet. </span></span>

have another set of blind bags to open for you today. This set of 10
blind bags were titled as being “Mini food bottles”. I ordered
them on October 27 and arrived on November 24, well ahead of the last
expected delivery date of Jan 3. I paid around $3 for the set. And
like all the blind bags I have shared on my channel I got these from
eBay. If you are interested in how I search for the blind bags I show
on here I wrote a blog post complete with screen shots of the steps I
use to search for them. <a href="https://joannesminis.blogspot.com/2022/03/dollhouse-miniature-blind-bags-march.html">You can find that post here. </a></span></span>

first bag was a bottle of booze and since I had no idea what it was I
did Google it just now. Apparently it is a brand of Vodka so now we
all know. I do love getting the different shaped bottles in these
sets and this one has a nice shape and is fairly well detailed. The
cap of the bottle especially has some nice detail in the way of
texture. </span></span>

the bottle of Orange Fanta, a real favorite of mine when I was a kid
for sure. The bottle measures in at just over 1 ¼” tall so in real
life that would 15” so I think we can call that in scale for a
large bottle of soda. This one is going to look great in the fridge
of the dollhouse or staged in a scene somewhere. </span></span>

our first flat back in the set, this one is a doughnut shape. I think
this would be a fun cake for a bakery. It will need some tweaks to
the paint job. It is just over ½” in diameter so a bit over 6”
in size. A cute but smaller cake. </span></span>

my overall thoughts on the things I got in this batch of blind bags.
I will be truthful and say I am a bit disappointed in the content of
the bags this time. Way too many flat back pieces. Although that
being said I can see a lot of these as cakes in a mini bakery scene
so that could be a lot of fun for future projects. The three bottles
are really what I was hoping for and I am very happy with those. </span></span>

week I thought it might be fun to decorate the fireplace we just
finished making for the Christmas holiday season. </span></span>
<p></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br />
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span face="Trebuchet MS, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: medium;">I
did an image search online for real fireplaces decorated for the
holidays and I found lots of inspiration. I took ideas from a couple
of ones that stood out to me both because I thought they were pretty
but also because I could create something similar in mini using some
basic supplies. </span></span>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br />
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span face="Trebuchet MS, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: medium;">We
are starting by making a piece that looks like the fake snow batting
stuff that is often used under Christmas decorations. For this I did
debate with myself about what to use to get the effect I wanted.
There were really three choices that tempted me. My first thought was
to use fabric with a layer of aluminum foil on the back like we do
when we make table clothes. The other idea that I felt had a lot of
promise was to use some white felt, preferably the cheap kind that is
thinner but I didn’t have any on hand to try out. So I went with my
other idea which is the same white medium weight card-stock we use so
often on the channel. I had it right on my work table, I know it will
cut really well either with an electronic cutting machine or by hand
and it is really easy to work with. So that is my material of choice
today. </span></span>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br />
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span face="Trebuchet MS, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: medium;"></span></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span face="Trebuchet MS, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7156_-pPVWx84ONl4PUA8aalxgNL6ROvMww91Ocyj84oqy6qKtrcB7tHfKRmEagLrGTwErRaMaY0e9NF0vFUBgdIyCO5EIo7mNqvvkqGLVNRkTV5zEcRo5O2mhfvsRYDDoeatMM-nsoJ5KZgaqw9pIrhatuO5FnK7OdwSfrO-2cG3qbyXmeZ0iM0LNpiM/s3445/DSCN2255.JPG" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2589" data-original-width="3445" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7156_-pPVWx84ONl4PUA8aalxgNL6ROvMww91Ocyj84oqy6qKtrcB7tHfKRmEagLrGTwErRaMaY0e9NF0vFUBgdIyCO5EIo7mNqvvkqGLVNRkTV5zEcRo5O2mhfvsRYDDoeatMM-nsoJ5KZgaqw9pIrhatuO5FnK7OdwSfrO-2cG3qbyXmeZ0iM0LNpiM/s320/DSCN2255.JPG" width="320" /></a></span></span></div><span face="Trebuchet MS, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br />So
that means I have another free pattern for you to download so you
make the project. <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1xYqtArPk8KHIW7F6r5e_IdUNL-vtvK6m/view?usp=sharing">You can find the file here. </a>In the download there
are 3 files: a PDF for hand-cutting of the pieces, a PNG to use with
your electronic cutting machine and a text file with handy hints and
tips (and the sizing information) to use the PNG.</span></span><p></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br />
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span face="Trebuchet MS, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: medium;">You
are free to use the pattern as many times as you wish and even to
sell the finished project. But, please don’t give away or sell my
patterns. I spend a lot of time creating them and the only
compensation I get is from people watching the videos and checking
out the blog post. I really want to keep offering these for free so
please if someone else wants to make one send them to the video and
blog so they can get their own copy of the pattern.</span></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br />
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span face="Trebuchet MS, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: medium;">I
do want to make it clear that I designed this pattern to fit the
fireplace we made on the channel recently. If you have a fireplace
that is a different size you will need to do a bit of resizing. That
should be simple since this is a fairly simple shape.</span></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br />
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span face="Trebuchet MS, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: medium;">Once
cut out the first step was to score the card-stock where we need it
to fold to fit over the fireplace. The first score line is in line

I have another set of blind bags that I purchased off of eBay to
share with you. This set was labeled just as “Dollhouse Miniature
Accessories” this is a type we have had mixed luck with in the past
so stay tuned to see how it went this time. I paid around $3 for this
set and ordered them on October 27<sup>th</sup>, with an expected
delivery to be before January 3<sup>rd</sup>. They arrived to me on
November 22<sup>nd</sup>, so well before the projected last day. </span></span>

do have a blog post where I go into detail about how I search for the
blind bags on eBay. I was very detailed and included screenshots of
each step, <a href=" https://joannesminis.blogspot.com/2022/03/dollhouse-miniature-blind-bags-march.html">you can find that post here. </a></span></span>

the first bag I opened contained a mini drinking glass with a
honeycomb design. I am fairly certain we have gotten at least of few
of these in other sets. But if you have watched my other blind bag
openings you know that items like glassware I really do like to get
in multiples of so I am good with this one. </span></span>

bag #2 held an ice cream cone, I don’t remember ever getting one of
these before in a blind bag and I love it. It could use a bit of
shading to give it a bit more pizzazz but I love just as is. </span></span>

the third bag had a cute little bottle with no label. It is certainly
easy enough to create a label to add to the bottle and then I can
make it be whatever I want it to be very easily. </span></span>

we found a Coca-cola bottle in the 4<sup>th</sup> bag. We are getting
a nice collection of these coke bottles and I am so happy. I love to
add them to a table next to a chair here and there. It instantly
looks like someone was just there and will be coming back in a
moment. A very quick way to add some life to a mini scene. </span></span>

bag #5 contained a really fun fall looking box. I am going to try to
remember to put this into my box of fall dollhouse decorations so we
can do a make-over on it next year. I think once the leaves get a bit
of paint and the box a bit of shading it will look wonderful holding
some fall leaves or flowers in the dollhouse. </span></span>

those glasses!!! We get these all the time and they are so
ridiculous. They are huge for the scale and we are getting a
collection of them. I know several of you have had some fun ideas of
what to do with them and one day maybe we should play around with
them for fun. </span></span>

to recap, the thing that stands out most to me is that although some
of the pieces are repeats from previous sets we got no duplicates
within this set of blind bags. That is rare. Also we got a few items
that were totally new so that is also exciting. I do have to say I
was apprehensive about this set because of our past experience with
other sets with the same title but this set was really fun and I am
very happy I grabbed it. </span></span>

we can glue the fireplace body we made last week to the hearth. Be
sure to measure carefully to make sure you have the fireplace
centered on the hearth side to side and lined up carefully in the
back. Once you are happy with your placement use some glue and more
toothpicks to secure the two pieces together. This glue will need to
be all the way dry before we begin to add the bricks to the hearth. </span></span>

wall o f the firebox at the bottom. Line the row up at the bottom
edge and cut the last brick to fit. Be sure to leave a tiny gap
between the bricks to allow a place for the mortar/grout to go later.
Once you are happy with the placement of this row allow the glue to
dry. If you try to add more rows before the glue on the first one
dries you run a bigger risk of shifting the placement. This first row
is what all the rest of the rows are going to line up against. </span></span>

I opted to paint the bricks on the firebox, since I had to mix my
paint color I wanted to be sure I was happy with it before I
committed to using it on the hearth. Also this way the firebox would
be ready and I could just work on the hearth next. I wanted to paint
my bricks with a “brick” red color but didn’t have any so I
mixed some colors to get a color I was happy with. I did put it in a
container with a lid so it would stay usable while I was working in
the entire project. I am doubtful I could ever mix the exact color
again to match it. Don’t be too heavy handed with the paint on the
bricks. </span></span><p></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;"></span></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsLrrbdPMnjmu2xLP0_W-q9xQNyFBTteBZdZrqmI0JpEgqFpx9L_y7etIrAWCU2Jt7_at-6AzJ-lttyqTy18pR7_0gX4MBsjV6LVTxFAo7EHDYyqO0RTrTfajFzRNrLUNr1sfLoL-g5RH4n90M8xKpicWxNacMfsZo0gHKuwzVOLWl0Cb5rbqYl0iLlw6f/s3472/DSCN2016.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3456" data-original-width="3472" height="319" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsLrrbdPMnjmu2xLP0_W-q9xQNyFBTteBZdZrqmI0JpEgqFpx9L_y7etIrAWCU2Jt7_at-6AzJ-lttyqTy18pR7_0gX4MBsjV6LVTxFAo7EHDYyqO0RTrTfajFzRNrLUNr1sfLoL-g5RH4n90M8xKpicWxNacMfsZo0gHKuwzVOLWl0Cb5rbqYl0iLlw6f/s320/DSCN2016.JPG" width="320" /></a></span></span></div><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /> </span></span><p></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">You don’t want it to fill the gaps we left between the

don’t even need to be coated evenly since I am going for a used
brick look all those imperfections will add to the look. </span></span>

onto the hearth. Since the bricks on the ends of each row will need
look like whole bricks not just pieces of egg carton I cut some more
pieces of egg carton to use in those places. I cut a strip 1/8”
wide and cut some ½” pieces (these will be the sides of the front
row of bricks) some pieces that wee ¼” by 5/8” wide and scored
1/8” from one end and folded at that mark (these will be the full
bricks at the end of the rows) and some that were ¼” by 3/8” and
scored at 1/6” again (to the be the full half bricks at the
opposite ends of the rows)</span></span><p></p>

full brick with the folded bit on one end and ended with one of the
smaller folded brick pieces. Filling in with the regular bricks I’ve
been using all along. Allow the glue on this row to dry pretty well
before you try to add more rows so you don’t accidentally move the
bricks you just placed. </span></span>

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br />
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br />Now
we can add the bricks along the area at the sides of the fireplace.
There is really only room for 1 brick per row so that’s pretty
easy. Use the ones that we made that were folded at the end
alternating the long and short ones to maintain the brick pattern.
Use small pieces of brick to fill areas as needed.</span></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br />
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br />Now
we can add the rest of the bricks to the top of the outside area of
the hearth. You should have room for two more rows with the row at
the very front hanging over the edge along the front. That is what
you want. Allow the glue to dry. </span></span>

we can add the “sides” of the row of bricks at the edge of the
front of the hearth. I know I was out of camera on this part of the
video, sorry about that. But all we need to do is add glue and one by
one fit in the 1/8” wide brick pieces we cut to match the ones on
the top row. You might need to cut them to fit because in order to
make sense and look like they are part of the same brick they need to
match in size. Finish out the row with the narrow pieces cutting as
needed to create the brick sides. </span></span>

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br />
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Next
add the bottom row of bricks at the front edge of the hearth and
around the ends using a couple of brick pieces that have been cut 14”
by ¾” and scored and folded at ¼” from one end. This will give
you the end of the brick wrapped around the corners. </span></span>

we can add the bricks to the interior floor of the fireplace. This is
a bit of a challenge because the work area is pretty small but it is
doable. You don’t need to have entire floor of the firebox area
covered. Have the firebox handy and check as you work that you have
bricks where they will show. You don’t need to put them where they
will be completely covered. </span></span>

really look at the bricks and trim off any places where you have

red, orange, and brown. </span></span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;"></span></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1pj5ioy3Gz8npWcTMOYnj-cC_exujiINbmm5xjmPwYvN82tW5epY1NHKUe0jnBoHw-6rg3EfoL1zREnOECRLjG-jjtVP_aNLLX8tXSc35qLVU81raU_1r4Uj8ZwFtv9Ylvq9ivGQglhuohU9Yw_j-m7k7rrCt_UW99T4WZ7jSP61V2ms6PZ-ZAadj1fCV/s4223/DSCN2084.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2988" data-original-width="4223" height="226" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1pj5ioy3Gz8npWcTMOYnj-cC_exujiINbmm5xjmPwYvN82tW5epY1NHKUe0jnBoHw-6rg3EfoL1zREnOECRLjG-jjtVP_aNLLX8tXSc35qLVU81raU_1r4Uj8ZwFtv9Ylvq9ivGQglhuohU9Yw_j-m7k7rrCt_UW99T4WZ7jSP61V2ms6PZ-ZAadj1fCV/s320/DSCN2084.JPG" width="320" /></a></span></span></div><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /> </span></span><p></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Then I used really small paint brushes to add
just a bit to the faces of some scattered bricks. Just one or two of
each color and none very close to each other. Just add the colors
until it looks how you want it to look. Now allow this paint to dry. </span></span>

to protect the painting I have done I added a thin coat of Matt Mod
Podge. This will add a layer of protection from the next step when we
add the mortar/groat. I missed a couple of spots and off camera had
to touch up some of the paint on a couple of bricks at the end of the
project. So be sure to not skip this step and be careful to not miss
any of the bricks. </span></span>

for one of the most fun steps because this is where the bricks start
to really look like bricks and not just egg carton chunks glued down.
Mix some of the gray paint with some white sand to give a slightly
thick textured paint. This time I found it easiest to use my finger
tip to work the mixture into the surface and down between the bricks
to fill the gaps.</span></span><p></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;"></span></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg03aOdEMEjLBC9gQR0So_21hf_bsoD-cjAkPTGoRZdcWtwbj1J3WDczM1WQPsMHVnVCVW_ekVfsEiAH-aywXOFcMX6NYReHwOCnCHZDFCfwGI0vp8F8c-K0OXmjB55zBHQRL0wuuhvCb990sYhHYx6ZdW70DVBzaocr5WdO3b8j4LKafJ8PTn95wFU6aXt/s4608/DSCN2091.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2164" data-original-width="4608" height="150" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg03aOdEMEjLBC9gQR0So_21hf_bsoD-cjAkPTGoRZdcWtwbj1J3WDczM1WQPsMHVnVCVW_ekVfsEiAH-aywXOFcMX6NYReHwOCnCHZDFCfwGI0vp8F8c-K0OXmjB55zBHQRL0wuuhvCb990sYhHYx6ZdW70DVBzaocr5WdO3b8j4LKafJ8PTn95wFU6aXt/s320/DSCN2091.JPG" width="320" /></a></span></span></div><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br />Then immediately wipe away any excess with a damp

fill the area where the firebox meets the hearth with a bit more of

the glue has dried it is time to add some “soot” to the inside of

more or less black paint. Anywhere from none to mostly covered will
help to tell the story of the age of your fireplace. </span></span>

let’s talk about finishing our work to make it look more
professional. I used some medium weight white card-stock cut to fit
the back of the hearth and the back opening of the fireplace and
glued them in place. This will hide the unfinished areas and just
make the fireplace look a bit better. You could also cut a narrow
piece of the card-stock to cover the back edge of the mantle if you
wanted. Poster board would also work for this area.</span></span><p></p>

also added a quick coat of black paint to the bottom of the hearth to
make it look a bit more finished. Then using an white paint pen I
added my initials. I always try to do this step to sign my work even
if I don’t show it on camera. Whenever I make any thing I am
reminded of one of my high school art teachers that insisted we
always sign our work. He went so far as not giving us a grade if we
forgot. According to him if it was worth keeping you signed it. No
matter what. So I want to see all of you signing your work whenever
possible. </span></span>

just got around to checking them out very recently. Today I have just

first package I opened were the rectangular mini food containers. I have
to admit these are really cute and will work well in the dollhouse.
To me they look like the set of Pyrex I used to have that had blue
lids, I only have a few left but I used the heck out of the real ones
and I think the mini ones will also get a lot of use in the
dollhouse. </span></span>

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br />
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">The
best thing about these is I got 4 containers with lids, so 8 pieces
in total for $2.48. They are a good size for lots of the foods I make
and I am excited to start using them.</span></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br />
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">The
bad side of the purchase, there are a lot of little bits of plastic
left on them from the molding process. They are going to require some
fussing over to get them looking like they should. </span></span>

up was a set of clear “tableware” this set I am not very happy
with but at least it was less than $2. Some of the pieces will be
usable in 1/12th scale but not all. Most are very large in my
opinion. Also there are way too many of them that are going to
require me to trim off the bits of plastic left from the molding
process to even get them to stand up. I am very doubtful that I will
be ordering these again anytime soon. </span></span>

overall I am super happy with the items I got this time. Some of the
items are going to need some work to make them usable mostly trimming
off the little bits of leftover plastic from molding them but that
really is pretty easy to do. I am excited to make some things with
these and to get some new fun items in the future. </span></span>
