Absolutely adorable! Thank you!
what size is the oval tube. These are precious!
Thank you. I use the bottom of a travel shampoo plastic bottle that is about 3 3/4” tall. The oval ellipse is 1 1/8” length x 3/4” width or a 1.125 major axis & .75 minor axis.
Lovely, I’m definitely going to have a go at making these cakes 🎂 Thank You
Very clever. Didn’t know the light caps could be in plastic and not glass. Enjoy your video 👏👏
Hi Catherine, another great tutorial that Im going to make. I just finished making your Prickly Pear Cactus. Girl you are a genius! They turned out amazing. Im curious though what artificial snow are you using? I have a can that is like tiny beads and when you add water it gets all fluffy but once it dries its beads again. Ive looked at Temu, Amazon etc but I dont know what to get. Thx so much. ❤
The fake snow is from a bag of artificial dry plastic bits & flakes. I believe I bought from a craft store like Michael’s, Joann’s or Hobby Lobby.
Time to head to the charity shops for some lights! This is brill, thank you so much 😀
Catherine you have lovely collection of beautiful light caps, your ideas are fabulous too, tfs x Julie 🇬🇧
What a great idea! Thank you sharing! The bottles look so realistic. Are the bulbs glass? If so, did you use a blade that could cut glass? 😃💕
These are plastic acrylic caps.
@catherinebrickner Thank you! 😃💕
This is just wonderful! I'm making a dollhouse bar with stage for a band and will be making a lot of these! Thanks for sharing this!
Cute stuff, I had to laugh when u said u can make the bottle half full or half empty, lol.
Great idea, I'll have to hit the basement and see what Xmas lights the hubs has 😄
Wow wow wow ❤
You've done a lovely job and I sincerely admire your fearlessness in tackling complex projects in smaller scales.
Do you cut the knots off the top and bottom of each braid before adding it and gluing down to the rug? And if so, ho do you stop the braids from coming apart while adding them to the rug! .
Yes, carefully cut braid ends to attach to next row or a new braid piece. Apply glue to ends in small amount to keep ends from fraying or unbraiding, when dry, glue braid ends together.
@ thank you so much for this! I’ve been so excited to make one of these rugs and wishing I had any scrap will lying around! Trying not to go and buy it!
Thank you.
Your lion and the lamb bolster pillows are just So Stinkin Cute and I like your yo-yo quilt too!
Very Clever! I especially enjoyed your method of making the long cotton swabs using the fine white flocking for the fibers. They look 100% authentic as do the tongue depressors; the cotton balls; the cotton squares and the jars.

Excellente vidéo ! Très bien expliquée et très intéressante ! Merci pour le partage ❣️🙏🏻
I am so impressed 😊, thanks for sharing!
Excellent ideas!
These are awesome, such great ideas! Thank you for the great tips! Thanks for sharing your work 😊
This was a Really in-depth tutorial and I thoroughly enjoyed EVERYTHING you've demonstrated from flowers to fish and ponds- - Absolutely Marvellous!
Sooooo clever 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💕

Excellent tutorial. Thank you 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻👍🏻💕
There so cute but why are they called dust bunny’s ? Xxxxx
How amazing thank you for sharing❤
So wenig Kommentare für so ein schönes Video - das verdient bedeutend mehr! Vielen Dank für die Ideen und die ausführliche nachvollziehbare Beschreibung!
I finally found you! I saw this video and it inspired me to do a room box. I will list your site in my description. I am new to YT.

Beautiful job!!
Your instructions are clear and I like the fact you are doing projects which are not the usual projects I see. When you pull something tightly you are not pulling it taunt, that means to tease someone. You mean taut. That means tight.
The word is ‘taut’ (to pull tightly) ❤😅
These look so much more realistic than the ones I’ve seen done with polymer clay
THEY GLOW??? 🤯 I must make them!! Maybe paint some black around the sides of the wick and put a dollop of hot glue or bit of tissue paper on it for a flame; could even color the flame! I've even got a UFO candle I can cannibalize for filament!
Very cool
They look great! I especially like the cascading flowers and the toppers on your Anniversary cakes💖
Love them xxx❤️
Thank you. These are very inventive and unique.
What a great idea. I have a big dollshouse kit and I want to make a haunted house, but funny. Those skeletons are nice and lovely and not scary. Thank you for the idea.
Thank you, Catherine! I happen to live in a Spanish style home. I would like to have a miniature Spanish home someday. These are perfect DOTD decorations! I love how you made the banner, jewelry and solved the forearm reattachment problem. Lots of creativity! Thanks again! 😊
This is charming. So cute!❤
Oh my goodness the sleeping animals are ADORABLE!! I want to make them in mini for my dioramas and large sizes for my kids lol ♥️😍♥️
These are incredible and I now know what to do with all those caps I’ve been squirrelling away just in case they came in handy. Thank you for the inspiration. They would look good inside clear baubles as a gift for special birthdays and occasions too. ❤
Just an observation as an old timer, I would have painted my eye pupils, then punched them out and shaped gently. Thank you for sharing this craft, we just bought a bunch of the miniature cloche domes, these will be one we will put inside!❤️
