Learn how to make an abandoned miniature scene in a really small space. This book box is only 2.25 inches deep.
In this video, I add lots of great details mostly based on viewer suggestions. I made a light switch, from scratch corkboard/blackboard plus accessories, cobwebs, electric cord for the hanging light, an aged calendar, a framed certificate, a simple light fixture with a fantastic detail and more.
I have lots of projects planned ranging from abandoned miniatures, furniture makeovers, accessories, kits and Dollhouse Miniatures in multiple scales. I also have a large Harry Potter build planned for 1" scale.

I wish I could give you another 👍when I watch your Videos again
So nice of you! Thank you 😊
Your attention to detail is insane. This feels so real! I only wish my aunt were alive, so I could share this with her. She loved to make miniatures and dollhouse scenes when she was alive. ❤
Thank you! I wish the two of you could have enjoyed together as well.
My favorite detail are the notes on the wall where the scientist ran out of space!!
Scientists can be so chaotic. That's probably a very realistic touch.
Spider eggs, spiderwebs, and dead flies! Oh my! I love it too! Your attention to detail is amazing!
Thank you! Do the spider eggs and flies count as critters or do I need more?
@@queencityminis I think mice or a mouse would fit in nicely
I love your videos. Not only do you create amazing miniatures, your dry sense of humor really makes me chuckle.
Thank you 😊
True story.
Me too, I laugh heaps at her sense of humour and how its delivered 🤣
The light switch is genius, and the dryer sheet idea is so clever. I absolutely love this miniature, it feels so complete
Thank you! The light switch definitely isn't an exact match to the inspiration (my circles around the switches are convex and not concave) but it was so much easier to just use the rivets I had and slightly change the design. I actually think one of those rivets would make a great older style doorbell with a button in the middle.
THE DEAD FLIES! I think that broke me. This is incredible.
Thank you 😊 I love the dead flies!
Dirty coffee cup with a fly in it? Do scientists eat? How about a moldy sweet roll? Any dead vines sneaking in or other plant life? This is EXCELLENT work. Thanks for showing it. Have a blessed day.💖✝
The spider eggs and dead flies! Brilliant
Thank you! Sometimes ideas just pop right into my head. I love when that happens.
This is more realistic than reality 🤔🧐😳😳😳😳😳 💞🥰👏👏👏🏆
Thank you 😊
It's the dry sense of humor that keeps me watching. Thank you for your relaxing wry monotone.
Thank you 😊 Someone commented yesterday "I hate the voice". Can't win em all 😂
I absolutely LOVE everything you create!!! 10:19
Thank you so much! I really appreciate that
Your attention to detail, REALISTIC detail, is so inspiring. I also admire your video production style and narration. Very pleased that I found your channel and that I subscribed. Thank you!
Wow, thank you! Welcome 🙏 Learning how to edit and do voiceover is no joke. I'm still learning.
Yes girl, the cobweb solution we've all been waiting for! Thank you for sharing even if you don't know who to credit. I could look at this for hours because of the DETAILS. I love it. I told Little Gretchen I need to write a Dollhouse Details song because they are that important 😂. I'm so excited to see your hands at work on your Dollhouse, it's going to be amazing.
Thank you so much! Details details details. They really are so important.
So eery and realistic that l feel creeped out. The dead flies, the towel on the floor... ❤❤❤
The dead flies are my favorite! I loved that idea
The spider egg sac and the dead flies * chef's kiss*
Thank you, thank you 😊 I'm pretty pleased with those details
Superb! You have a real knack for this!🥰👏
Thank you so much 😊
This is absolutely eerily magical. Love love love
Thank you! I wish I was good at photography and videography so I could take really cool photos.
I have recently found you in my suggestions. I have watches about 15 of your videos so far. I love your intricate little details and your eye for "normal looking ". Your imagination and creativity are top tier. You explanations are simple and clear. You choice of color combinations is spot on.
BUT what has gotten the most is your innate use of dead pan humor! OMG! Sometimes i have to go back and listen again to be sure i heard it right. No inflection or tonal changes at all when you hit punch line. Its work to do that if your not a natural so i assume your a natural because of how you never break the spell with any changes. Just as flat as the rest of your speech, please don't take that as a back handed compliment some ppl are just less expressive in their speech especially if its in a teaching or explanation mode. I think its most enjoyable to listen to and relax with. Which is what i do with these types of videos. I have miniatures since I was very young but just never could keep them around. We moved alot as a kid then i had 5 kids (choking hazard, to broke and way to busy) and now as an old lady arthritis and neuropathy have my fingers and hands. But i get to enjoy your AMAZING WORK...and that makes my heart happy and your deadpan humor is my favorite type. Its so low key and easy and you'll almost miss it..but when we catch what you threw its all the better because we are not expecting it. Like what you said in one of your videos about liking to put little things tucked away like Easter eggs, so the more you look the more you see...your explanations are just like that. The closer you listen ...
Anyway thank you.
Thank you so much for your thoughtful comment! My natural way of speaking is more dynamic, but I naturally speak more intentionally when I'm doing voiceover. My Flip This Dollhouse haul video is a good example of my natural speaking voice. I'm a sarcastic person and tend to make people laugh. I'm happy some of my humor is coming through in my voiceover. Thank you!
You are such an amazing artist!
Thank you so much 💞
And relax you really are amazing
Thank you so much 💓
You are a 😮 genius!
Agreed! 😆
I love how you come back to old projects and more and more details!!!!
Thank you :) I got so many great ideas from viewers last time. I can't even believe I thought this was done.
That is a MASTERPIECE!!!! I love everything about it. You are a genius.
Wow, thank you! 😁
You always have the perfect thing in your stash for every detail.
That's bc I collect so much junk 😆
That turned out amazing!
Thank you! I love it ❤️
This is awesome,so much detail to everything,you could look at it for a week and still notice something new.Brilliant work thank you so much for sharing
Thank you very much! This was so much fun. I love this project.
AMAZZZZZING !!!!!!!
Thank you so much!
Looks so realistic. Amazing work and creativity! I love how there are proper house spider webs and egg sacs
Thank you so much. I love the dead bugs in the light fixture 😆
Amazing!
Haha, awesome! Thank you
Dead flies in the light fixture, and an egg sac in the web, this is some Next Level stuff. Absolutely stellar.
I never Tire of watching you work, and hearing your soothing voice. Keep On Keepin On❤
Thank you so much! I'm so happy with how this one turned out. I thought the project was done but then I got a lot of great viewer suggestions .
Thank you so much! I love doing this. I plan to keep going.
Extraordinary work! All the details...and I guessed the caviar beads were to be dead flies. That was the ultimate 😂
That's awesome 👌 I didn't mention it at first to give people a chance to figure it out.
This is amazing Shyra, the attention to detail is fantastic too, tfs x Julie 🇬🇧
I appreciate that 🙏
It looks amazing and all the little details really make it pop. I love the little bead dead flies that is so cool
Thank you 😊 That idea just popped into my head. I'm glad it translated well.
I LOVE THIS!
Thank you so much
Just incredible detail!
Thank you very much!
OMG!!!!!!!!...Shyra you are such an inspiration...I can only hope to be half as good at this aging technique!🙌🏾
You can do it! The worse it looks, the better?
@@queencityminis ..thanks for the encouragement!...once I graduate I can get back to creating!🥰
Love all the details
Thank you :)
I love that you use items for things other than their intended purpose. That's the part I enjoy most when creating something and always appreciate when you do, because it's something you excel at. There is always something inspiring in how you see these things.
Thank you! That's my favorite part, too. I love when I find that perfect piece to repurpose. It's so much fun.
Love all of the details!
Thank you 😊
Holy shit that electrical switch!!!!!!!holy shit those caviar push pins! Holy shit the cobwebs!! Holy shit the box over the cabinet was my idea I commented!!!! Yaaay it’s better than I imagined!!
Ps omg you added the comments in the end you’re so awesome. It’s like we’re part of it with you 😭😭😭
Thank you so much for the great idea 💡I really love how this has turned out. It's so much better than it would have been thanks to the helpful suggestions.
I love your work. Your mellow delivery is fantastic especially when you give indications that you are probably quite a bit more energetic in life. 😂. Your abundant details and stating that it’s so viewers can find new details the more they look. I will surely be adding this to my collection of new mantras to this new hobby to me. Finally I absolutely love the treasure trove of scraps you have collected over the span of many many projects. A priceless hoard for sure. Great job. Avid new follower, for sure!
Thank you so much! I appreciate all that
I'm definitely more animated in real life, but now I'm working on sounding more like I do when I'm doing voiceover instead of talking a mile a minute.
Fabulous 🙂
Thank you :)
Great job, love all the little details. ❤
Thanks so much! 😊
I am so in love with your videos. You are SUCH a talented person, I hope you know that. Love the way you make things from scraps and I really appreciate that you share your work. I always learn something new from you but the most important thing is your work makes me see what ordinary objects could become.🥰
Thank you so much! I absolutely love doing what I do and sharing with you all.
*Wowzers! 🪰Amazing attention to detail! Love it! Getting creative ideas . . . I might try to do a mini nail room as my first project! 💅🏻🤭 But it would have to be in stages since I've never done anything like this before. The more I watch you create, the more excited I am to try! ♥ Jenny*
That sounds like so much fun! Start small and don't be hard on yourself. This is for fun.
@@queencityminis Thank you so much! 🥰 I will definitely keep that in mind. I'm going to try to be more focused on creating using what I already have instead of spending money and I love that you show us so many options! ♥ Jenny
Now I need to know the history of the fella that called this his shangri-la ...before he passed and decay took over. Fascinating truly a gift that you have.
Thank you! Someone who's good at stories should make one up
Супер!!!
Thank you 😊
You are amazing. I'm imagining one of the borrowers finding this, wondering: "Good grief, what happened here? Who did the humans have locked up in here?"😮
Thank you! I love the Borrowers. I need to make a Borrowers project someday for sure
@@queencityminis Oh, yes!
HI! I love your work! If I were as good as you, I'd make an entire abandoned house! Hello from Italy!
Hi 👋 It's so cool that people are watching from around the world. Thank you
@@queencityminis ♥️
You are so smart at adding details and new technics for those ! 🎉
Thank you so much 😊
Amazing!
Thanks!
@@queencityminis Yw.
Amazing!
Thank you! 😊
I love the trick with the dryer sheet to make cobwebs, that is cool, never thought of that one, and I make some stuff. This project really turned out lovely. Thanks for sharing and you have a wonderful day
Glad it was helpful! You have a wonderful day too ☺️
You are definitely a Queen. Amazing work.
Wow, thank you!
Beautiful details!
Thank you!
My heart cant take it its to sweet
I love that ❤️
Hola es increible y muy lindo lo que haces 😍🇲🇽👍
Thank you 😊
I shouted 'Flies!' when you put the dinky beads in the light😁 I keep thinking if an unsuspecting person were to open that book, what would their face be like?😨 😲Thank you for your vids
Hahaha, so true! I'm glad you figured out what the beads were. I was literally laughing when I saw it. I love it.
Omg. Frigging brilliant!
Thank you 😊
Oh wow! What an amazing book. I just bought Miniatures that are aged so that I can do some kind of tiny room as well. You’ve given me a great idea. Whenever I post my video, I will reference you.
Excellent! I'd love to see your video. Thank you
So much love for your minis! Thank you for teaching all of us❤
You are so welcome!
Fantastic. You are so good with detail.
Thank you very much! The details are my favorite part.
I really love what you said about details. The more that someone is compelled to look at something, the more the experience of beauty. So the more details, the more someone looks at it, the better the experience for the viewer, and the more they love it.
Absolutely! I can't believe I thought this was done in the last video. There were still so many great details to add.
Love this super detailed lab! Also your voice is soothing for asmr! The webs are perfect!❤
Thank you so much :-)
Amazing details, amazing result, wow i love it! Very well done 👍🏼👏🏼🤩
Thank you so much 😀
I kept thinking "make some chalk for the chalkboard " and then you did. Of course you thought of that detail. Why would I have doubted that? Love it
You give me too much credit 😆 I didn't think of that. My fiance said, "You should make chalk. And an eraser."
He also pointed out that my electric light fixture didn't have a power source. I did not notice.
I love your thought process and amazing attention to detail!! Your work is so beautiful!! 👏👏👏👏❤
Thank you so much!
So cool.
Thank you 😊
Your videos are awesome! I love all the details you add. They really bring it to life.
Thanks so much! I appreciate that :)
wow . I think the old version is OK but the new one is great .Thanks for making re think to do better job .
Thank you! I didn't realize there was so much wall space that needed to be covered.
Amazing 👍Thank you for sharing so many smart ideas 😀
You are so welcome!
Absolutely love this…❤
Thank you! Adding the final details made me love this project. I can't believe I thought it was done with bare walls.
Wow! Your way of detailing things is amazing! Love the cork board/chalk board idea. Also the dryer sheet to cobweb idea! I once put the arm- sleeve in glue and was very angry that I ruined a loved shirt. I glued folds of the shirt together while making it stiff/hard, which is annoying. Now, every time I wear/see it, I get angry with myself all over again! (I only wear it to knock around the house in.) Each time I see a new vid of yours on my feed I get excited, because you are a favorite of mine! Thank you for sharing your talent with us!
Thank you so much for all the sweet comments :)
This is definitely not the first time I've put my sleeve in glue, but it's usually white or wood glue. This is yet another reason I avoid super glue. It stinks, and I always get it everywhere.
Thank you for watching :) You can hit the bell notification near the Subscribe button and RUclips will alert you when I post new videos.
@@queencityminis Thanks!😃
I saw a little storage book today and picked it up. I don't know what I'm going to do in it yet, but you're a big inspiration!!
That's fantastic! Have lots of fun. If you're too nervous to commit fully, you can line it with cereal box and work on top of that. You can start over if you don't like it.
@Queen City Minis Thanks for the advice! I've watched a lot of tutorials & mini channels & by far yours is the best 👌
It really is an education to watch you work! Thanks fo another great video!
Thanks for watching!
I love all these great additions to the lab! Really, all your videos scratch that part of my brain that need need need miniature things 🥰
Great to hear! Thank you 😊
Another awesome video with heaps of ideas, tips and tricks. I’ve been looking for ideas on how to create cobwebs and the dryer sheets idea looks fab! Thanks for sharing Shyra 😊
Thank you! It really works. I hate waiting for glue to dry, so that's painful for me, but it's otherwise a great method :)
First off, you are amazing! I love how your mind works! the devil is in all the details, and I love how you recognize all of it! your weathering skills are top shelf as well! (Your voice is super soothing as well) I adore your content!!!
I appreciate it! Thank you
Love this! I'm going to go through my stash with new eyes.
I love that! Have fun
Absolutely love your creativity.
You are truly an inspiration
Thank you so much!
Wow!!! I love all of these little details, but if I had to pick a top 3 it'd be the flies in the light fixture, the spiderwebs, and the old-timey lightswitches on the wall! I'm definitely going to use the spiderweb trick, it's genius!
I was literally laughing when I made the flies in the light fixture 😆
Have fun! I hope your spiderwebs turn out well.
@@queencityminis Hehehe, thanks!! I got so excited when you pulled out the seed beads, I was like 'oh they'd be perfect for-- oh yes! same brain!'
Absolutely fantastic. I love love love all the details! And I love that you took suggestions from your viewers - that's really cool :).
Thank you so much! There were so many great ideas. I love all the new additions.
Shyra your dry wit and humour is such a vibe and I'm here for it. I can't decide what parts I liked best in this video, each creation was better than the last. Absolutely spot on with the details as always 🥰
Thank you so much 😊 I really like the light fixture with dead bugs inside. I was laughing to myself.
@@queencityminis Yeah as soon as I saw the caviar beads I thought No Way! Bugs???, that was hilarious!
Amiga just nice and amazing what you do 😍🇲🇽🌹
Thank you so much 🤗
Possibly the tip of an all metal dressmaker pin could be used to create the light switch toggle.
Thank you! Great idea
I am in awe.
Thank you :)
If RUclips still used the star system, you’d get all the stars.
Thank you! I don't remember the start system. I wonder why they did away with it.
That's awesome.
Thank you! I love how this project turned out.
Lavoro SUPER ECCELLENTE, complimenti sinceri alla bravura .
Thank you so much 🥰
😳 I'm so amazed!!! This is another Masterpiece...never doubting what your gonna do! Taking viewers suggestions and making them come to life..love it!! The cobwebs 😍..I'm gonna use that trick when I get to the attic... Fantastic...Loooove it!!🤗💖
That's awesome! I can't wait to watch. I LOVE your dollhouse. It's exactly what I would want. You're my soul sister when it comes to dollhouse style.
@@queencityminis aaaw🥹 🫶🫶 hey sista..soul sista! 🥰 If I can just get one room completed!!! I'm an adhd crafter..I'm just all over the place!!🤣 I just go where my head tells me to go! I'll be adding a mud room somehow..but I could totally see you creating that!! 💖💖
AWESOME!
Glad you think so! Thank you
Definitely you are an artist! I'm working on my first dollhouse and I must say your channel is my reference.
Absolutely love all the details on your projects 🤩
Love from Spain 💃🏽
Thank you so much! Make sure you follow Little Gretchen's Workshop as well. She has so many helpful tutorials.
I’ve just come across your channel and WOW. You are so talented!! The detail you put in your pieces is incredible!! I also love that you keep your mistakes you make in your videos. It’s natural!! Thank you!! Love your work. I can’t get over the detail you put into them. Like the cobwebs and one with a sac of eggs!! Just WOW!!
Aww, thanks so much! Sometimes I feel stuck and don't have any ideas for a project but I love when the ideas just flow like for this one. This was a lot of fun.
Hi hon just wanted to let u know how much joy you bring when I watch these videos.
I get rather sad when they end lol..
Im totally fascinated watching how u create these mini masterpieces
I also crack up at your sense of humour, your voice hardly ever changes pitch so when you do say something about your lack of patience and waiting 2min for it to dry I just laugh as I'm exactly the same.
Also u buying some product and using it once or twice justifies u buying it 🤣..me too
I mean it was used so hey well worth the investment 🤣
I've learnt so much watching u and to be honest I much prefer watching u that trying to replicate what u do but I do have a go so that's something 😁
I could spend hours watching u work and I do 🙄🤔 i look at the clock and realise another hour has passed but then see something else and think I'll just check this out really quickly and the hands of the clock have marched on..oops..
I also wanted to thanku for explaining every single step, even the smallest detail and why u did it that way or what particular material u used.
Its just a few magical hours to escape into the miniature worlds we love and I truly thanku for it. The flies in the fluoro, lol genius..
Im 63 tomorow and still love miniatures after all these years, I remember being a lil kid and collecting the small toys that came in the cereal boxes and stashing them away in a old chamois cloth box my dad gave me, my lil secret box of goodies.
Anyway I've rambled on enough lol
Thanku again for bringing such joy into my day...🥰
Happy Birthday! Thank you so much for watching ☺️ I think I have over 100 videos now to keep you entertained. I really appreciate your thoughtful comment.
@@queencityminis Aww thanku very much for my bday wishes
Yep 63 today, where does it go??
I'll be definatley checking out your vids and of course your very welcome. Thanks again 😊
Love the additions! The under shelf light fixture with 'flies' is an especially nice one. Still no graffiti, though, huh, lol. Maybe it's the UrbEx in me and having seen so much graffiti in abandoned buildings.
I cut up the clear plastic packaging from Costco / Sam's Club croissants and use it for window glass on my layout. Nice, large and flat sheets/strips of 'glass' can be cut from just 1 container. The croissants are pretty good, too.
Thank you! No graffiti 😉 Bentley House Minis created graffiti on the outside of her abandoned coffee shop diorama. I love the look, but I'm not sure it would look good inside this small space. I have a feeling it would be the first thing everyone sees.
I just found your channel and have been bingeing your earlier videos. Thanks for introducing me to Robin Betterley’s kits. They are a fun, low stress first foray into miniatures for a beginner and served as a perfect distraction during our ice storm in Texas. I hope to some day use all the great ideas from this series.
You are so welcome! I'm so glad you found your way to their kits. They are hands down my favorites.
I love it! You have a great eye for detail. Keep'm coming 😊
Thank you! Will do! I'm making a 1:48 scale (4 times smaller than this scale) tool shed. I can't stop adding details to it.
What imaginations you and some of your viewers have! I will never get over how fantastic you are at these miniatures! Crazy detail!
Thank you so much 😀
Nice! What a good idea how you created the look of screw heads. All of the little details are fabulous So glad you got to use your wire stripper! Oh and I am totally stealing the cobweb out of drier sheet idea!
Thank you! The screw heads and the dead flies are my favorite parts, although I really love the bulletin board, too.
@@queencityminis yes the dead flies are a nice touch.
