    Hi! My name is Shyra of Queen City Minis. Learn how to make books using foam core, no-sew pillows, curtains and more for your dollhouse. All the items I make in this video are 1:12 scale but you can scale them up or down to work in your space.
    I have been toiling away learning how to film and edit videos for RUclips. I have lots of projects planned ranging from abandoned miniatures to sculpted clay animals and Dollhouse Miniatures in multiple scales. I also have a large Harry Potter build planned for 1" scale.
    Please Like & Subscribe to support my efforts and so you don't miss out on future videos.
    Thank you,
    Shyra

    Well these are just adorable and I'm barely into your tutorial, but I was too impatient to wait till the end of it. Lol. I relate, especially when I work with air-dry clay that has to wait 24 hours to dry! Beautiful work wonderful ideas. LOVE those books! Now I watch the rest of it. 😊

    And some of these techniques are already used to made tarps, kit-bags, canvas truck cargo covers, etc. Of course, mine are a bit tattered/torn/beat-up looking on purpose and were soaked in cold coffee for a bit and wrung out but you made it easy for me.
