Добавлен 24 апр 2020
Your visit is important and we appreciate you stopping by. We have been making miniature items for dollhouses as well as rehabbing dollhouses for years. Videos are for inspiration and some showcase how we create designs.
What started as a fulfillment of a lifelong dream to have a dollhouse has morphed into creating a legacy for our grandchildren. My work has expanded to larger scale designs from sketches, watercolor paintings, digital paintings to Print on Demand products that we showcase on our website. www.miniadaydesigns.com
With miniatures, we re-purpose items to create miniature art. We have ventured into the Print on Demand process. Our print-on-demand process ensures that we only create items when they are ordered, eliminating excess inventory & reducing our carbon footprint.
Your support has encouraged me to explore options that would bring joy to our community from videos to products. Thank you for visiting & we hope you will recommend us to others.

A Comparison of Techniques Used to Hang Art in Dollhouses
Просмотров 6082 года назад
This is a question that I never had a good answer for when I first started working with miniatures. Tacky (museum) wax was what I was first told was the best to attach items to walls, because it is temporary. It works for some things but not others. I decided to trial different items and hope this is helpful to you.

I am building my house using your videos. I was thinking about turntables. What size turntable is needed to accomodate the Beachside Bungalow with the extended plywood base?
Thank you. I hope you will share pictures of your house! We used a 12" turntable for the house.
Blessings on blessings on blessings!❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you
Gorgeous!
Thank you! 😊
These videos are so so helpful with this dollhouse build, im a teenager whose just now getting into my first ever dollhouse build and ive looked all over online and i struggled with the directions so much, the way you demonstrate step by step really helps out a lot (: keep up the amazing work!
Thank you. That is very kind. I would love to see your completed dollhouse.
Tan hermosa tanto trabajo ,pero hay detalles tan sencillos de mejorar , por ejemplo : el mantel , las cimtas de las trenzas
Thank you
what color u used for the shingles?
Hello, I used the brown shingle dye from Hobby Lobby. It appears they only have grey now, but I believe a water based dye may work. You would need to test it on a sample first.
@@MiniaDay wow did not know that they had a dye
hola, preferimos el vídeo con un tutorial de un paso a paso,un saludo
I understand. Many of the videos have that. Could you tell me what you need answered or if there is a video we can create to help? Thank you
hola, es mejor un tutorial con un paso a paso y medidas, u saludo
I sent a question on the last message. I hope we can help you.
That dollhouse that she's redid is so pretty I love the stained glass windows he's doing an excellent job very beautiful the way you did it I would love to live next to you just to see your doll houses cuz I love stuff like that I have a doll house I have to put together and when I see people do the houses it inspires me how I want to do mines on the inside once it's built but I know one thing I'm going to use beautiful scrap paper for the wallpaper for the dollhouse when I do put it together scrapbook paper is so pretty nowadays and some of it looks vintage that's what I love about the scrapbook paper it'll make great dollhouse wallpaper if you back it on cardstock so it won't mess up before you glue it down thanks for sharing your beautiful dollhouse with everyone
Thank you very much. I use scrapbook paper and use wallpaper paste to apply it. I am so sorry I didn't see your message until today. I would love to see your house!
Beautiful!!
Thank you
Wow,those caps make great toilets too. the way they are shaped.
I think so too!
Beautifullllll!
Thank you!!
Wonderful ideas ! Beautiful Art! ( ps. I've got a Booth in my family , my great-grandmother Daisy ( Daisie V) Booth ,passed in Alameda 1963). Love and Light in and around you and yours ❣️
Oh my, that is something. Thank you for the wonderful compliment. Perhaps we are related in more than art! Wishing you the best.
Very Nice, good ideas!
Thank you.
Beautiful
Thank you
Preciosa.
Thank you.
Lovely!!! We can go crazy miniaturing!
Thank you very much. Yes we can. Makes life fun!
@@MiniaDay Serves as a therapy to forget a little about problems.
Beautiful house and I love the pieces, some are very hard to find. Very Nice! Just what I love!
Thank you so much!
So beautiful!
Thank you. I appreciate the compliment and the time you took to write a note. I hope your week is filled with beauty and joy!
@@MiniaDay Thanku, like wise.
I have two Allison Jr doll houses that I am going to try to put together
That is exciting.
I have this house to rehab. The entire house built using hot glue. It is falling apart and I have dismantle everything and start over. I bought to learn along a Greetnleaf Roseberg. They were sold together for $30. Thankfully the Roseberg made with wood glue but painted a very bright mess yellow. They are my practice houses before I move on to my heirloom duracraft farmhouse. I love the Newberg. It is such a worthy save. .
Oh, that is a shame. I have one that the builder used some type of thick brown glue and there were lumps and bumps of glue everywhere. We literally had to use a sharp knife and shave off the glue. I think it took longer to get the glue off than it did to put the house back together. We have rehabbed 3 houses. I do think it is easier to build one from the beginning, but I am a rescuer! LOL
Lol.... house is going to turn into a house of dollhouses. My family built a special house just for my vast collection of builds
I feel a kindred spirit. My husband is so supportive. I thought the grandchildren could take some of them now, but they are too young and their parents asked us to keep them until they are adults. They are afraid they will get destroyed. Hahaha.
@@MiniaDay i built a house for my 3 oldest granddaughters. All 3 were basically destroyed. No more giving to granddaughters. The grandson on the other hand, kept his in great shape until just recently when he outgrew it and the building was regifted to neighbors Boys (it was a garage/shop with a waiting room/business office). My daughter knew how much the accessories cost, so those came back to me.
@@MiniaDay there are pictures on pinterest of my collection.
Ooh. I hear you. I put one down on a small table to show our grandchildren after I had finished it and within minutes they had ripped off the front porch, front door and windows. I wanted to cry, but I reminded myself they were very little and it was my fault. Our 2 grandsons are extremely careful as well as older granddaughter and the boys have helped re-build some of the houses. I think it helps them value all the work that goes into it.
Can you send me your Pinterest link?
My first build was the Newburg house. I have since purchased 2 more I plan on bashing together.
Wow, I bet it will be beautiful!
Awesome! Do you have any before pictures!!
Yes. I do. I am not able to add them. You have given me an idea. I will work on a before and after video, This will hopefully help viewers see how to fix a broken house as well as tape for electrical lights. Thank you. When I load it, I will respond, so you can see the before and after. It was my first house, so there a quite a few oops I learned along the way. Thank you.
@@MiniaDay AWESOME! I'm looking forward to seeing the process! I think it helps people appreciate the complete project!
Dear Ms Nichols, Thank. you for your wonderful suggestion. I couldn't figure out how to send you the photos, so we created a before and after video. I truly appreciate your taking the time to comment and suggest this idea. Here is the link. It will premiere tomorrow, Sunday, March 7, 2021. ruclips.net/video/A5GouKPKw90/видео.html
@@MiniaDay I'm Glad you shared and I am excited to see it BEFORE Renovation!!!! Your BEFORE Pictures will breed Appreciation for Your Labor of LOVE!!
Thank you. I truly appreciate your insight. It is a labor of love and your suggestion helps me remember where we were and what has been accomplished. I do hope you will share your beautiful home when you finish.
according to the directions & pictures the porch is even with the front of the front foundation edge. than at the back , the floor has a small over hang. And there is a small space between the front porch floor & the floor. Thats what the photos show. hope i'm right. Its glued.. You need to do it this way so the ft porch posts fIT flush. !
Thank you for your response. I was able to get mine to be flush in the front and back. I guess it just depends on how we make it work. I would love to see your house.
@@MiniaDay Joanne's minis did this kit a while back
Your creativity is SO inspiring! Thank you again!
Awe, thank you.
You are FANTASTIC- I just bought the same, and hate instructions- You are the answer- so clear- I just can't find all your videos- I am very impressed- but am wondering about all that tape, can'tI use clamps? And where can I sell ALL of you videos. GREAT WORK
Thank you. I appreciate your kind compliments. I have been frustrated with instructions and that is one reason why I am making these videos with the hope of helping others as I learn myself. You can certainly use clamps. I re-use the tape, so I don't waste. I learn as I go and I appreciate comments, because that helps. I am hoping we can keep this wonderful world of miniatures alive for future generations and hope that we can impress our younger generation to be creative.
thank you for all your help. The videos were very needed! Now to find space to build, maybe wait til spring ! 🤗
Thank you. Hahaha, I know what you mean about space. I started with one and displayed it in the living room, but quickly found that our youngest grandchild was a bit too curious and I had to repair the dollhouse. Now I have a bedroom that is part studio for art/crafts and a display room for most of the houses. I am trying to make a dollhouse for each grandchild. It is so much fun! I would love to see your work.
I’m starting this house today for my granddaughter so I’m watching ur videos for tips and tricks thank you
Oh how exciting. I think that is the most fun when we create them for our grandchildren. That is why I am making mine. I would love to see your house. Thank you.
Great idea! Thank you.
Thank you
You’re not really showing how to build it, you’re just showing the work that you’ve done.
Each video about the bungalow shows the steps we have taken to build the house with explanations, we didn't want to waste the viewer's time by showing extra footage.
We are sorry you didn't find it helpful.
@@MiniaDay it was informative, thank you!
@@marcomama1 Thank you. We are very new at making videos and attempting to create something that is helpful but not lengthy. We appreciate comments, so we can make improvements. Have a good day.
@@MiniaDay I appreciate you making the video, the title implied that it would be more hands on that’s all. I wish you success. Sometimes it’s helpful to see mistakes and all. It’s easier said than done I’ve found in making these doll houses!
I'm going to carefully look at your cricut videos..I need to learn more for using it in my mini builds.
Thank you. I hope they are helpful. If you have any questions or want additional videos or tutorials, please let me know.
I built that one! I love it.
Oh thank you. I would love to see your house.
Very Nice House!
Thank you. You are very kind. Happy New Year!
Beautiful House!
Thank you!
Happy new year to you!
Thank you. I hope your year is filled with good health and happiness!
Thank you, Lady! I'm putting together a Victorian Painted Lady (my first kit) and I've discovered the instructions are VERY confusing. You're gifted and I appreciate you sharing!
How exciting. I just purchased one myself and plan to begin videos on building it once we complete the Beachside Bungalow. I look forward to seeing your progress. Happy New Year!
@@MiniaDay I'll be watching!
It is so exciting to have a kindred spirit of creativity!
@@MiniaDay It does help to have someone who's very easy on the eyes!
I don't mean anything offensive! :-)
What kind of glue is that? Sounds like your saying aliens glue
Aleen is the brand name. I hope that helps. I try to show the glue in the video to help with clarification.
Thank you for sharing your project! Great idea with the vinyl!
You are so welcome! Thank you for the wonderful compliment.
Thank you.
Hi, question, is there trim pieces for the ends of the porch floor?
Not that I know of. We didn't have them. I sent you a private message as well. Thank you for the question.
Way to go! Did you repaint? How did you take paint off shingles?
Thank you very much. Yes we repainted the entire house after repairing. The steps, stairs, doors, windows, siding and roof shingles were damaged or missing. The entire house was leaning and had to be righted. I cleaned the roof with Dawn soap (mild solution). I then used light sand paper or removed the badly damaged and put on new shingles that I stained to match but then painted the entire roof to make sure the staining would work. Hope that helps.
I just bought this model from someone and the inside is still just wood. And its musing the stairs in the front. Do you know what scale this dollhouse is?
Thank you. We did repaint the house once we finished the repairs. I used Dawn dishwashing liquid watered down and brushed it on and then wiped it off. I then re-stained the shingles. The shingles that I could not remove the paint, I replaced them.
Beautiful work
Thank you very much! I appreciate your kindness.
Would you suggest not painting till the porch rails are put together?
I painted the porch rails first, because I knew the spacing would difficult to paint. If you choose to paint later, please let me know how it goes. I would love to see your house.
Just found your channel, newbie who just bought a 1:24 DIY kit from Amazon which just arrived today (thot would be a good starter to the craft). Cant wait to see this series progress!
Congratulations! I hope you have a lot of fun. This has been a wonderful journey for me and I find I have to pace myself and allow myself to learn how to handle such small things. You are a trooper to take on a 1:24. I would love to see it.
Cool video ! make sure to check YourDigitalFinds on etsy for beautiful svg files !
Thank you
You’re so creative!💕
Thank you! 😊 I appreciate your support.
Aleene's has confused the glue buying world by calling most of their products "Tacky". The glue to use is Aleene's "Original" Tacky glue, although Gorilla Tacky glue and Elmer's Tacky Glue (not the old stand-by "Glue-All")are good too.
Correct
THank you again for the how-to video. I am going to try a dollhouse myself. I would gladly pay for a how-to video to put together a Queen Anne, my favorite dollhouse.
Thank you for your kind words. I just purchased the Painted Lady from Hobby Lobby, but I am not sure when I will start that. I hope to make it relatable to the Victorian period. I would love to see your work.
Thank you for this video. It was very informative.
Thank you for your kind comments and your support.
I will definitely be following along, as I have this kit as well! It will be nice to watch and build along at the same time!
Wonderful. I would love to see your house as well.
