    Watch me make 11 different mini plants using simple methods and everyday materials. Many miniature plants are catered to 1:12 scale, but these plants would fit well in 1:16 or 1:24 as well to fit your Lundby, Scandinavian Families, & R Bliss dollhouses.
    Some Dimensions:
    Monstera: 2" tall (equivalent of 2 feet in 1:12 or 4 feet in 1:24)
    Dracaena: 3" tall (equivalent of 3 feet in 1:12 or 6 feet in 1:24)
    Fern 1" tall (equivalent of 1 foot in 1:12 or 2 feet in 1:24)
    Wall Pockets 1/2" (equivalent of 6 inches in 1:12 or 1 foot in 1:24)
    Stone bead pot plant 3/8" (equivalent of 4 inches in 1:12 or 8 inches in 1:24)
    Plastic plant 1/2" tall (equivalent of 6 inches in 1:12 or 1 foot in 1:24)
    Hanging Plant 2" tall (equivalent of 2 feet in 1:12 or 4 feet in 1:24)
    Some of my favorite things:
    Paper fasteners & 1/8" hole punch
    amzn.to/3O5nYI6
    2 oz bottle of Diamond Glaze
    amzn.to/3zmMLR1
    8 oz bottle of Diamond Glaze
    amzn.to/3zpiMbm
    Heat gun- I use mine to quickly dry paint, soften the glue to dismantle furniture and quickly cure polymer clay without an oven. Gets a lot hotter than a hair dryer.
    amzn.to/3YBAIcH
    Craft heat gun that doesn't get as hot as mine
    amzn.to/3ZZ5wWe
    I have lots of projects planned ranging from scratch made accessories, 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’ve always loved miniatures since I was a little girl but am just now in my 50’s starting to make miniatures.

    A few short weeks later and I’ve started building the architectural model for my tiny home in 1:36 scale and having an amazing time of it! Thank you so very, very much for bringing this into my life. 🙏🏼💞
    Today I’m learning how to design stairs to the measurements needed for my ceiling height, while factoring in the height of the stair risers and depth of treads. I’ll use my cardboard template to cut a “stringer” for the staircase. After that I’ll cut and glue my steps to it!

    I'm a middle school art teacher and I'm making a playlist of how to make miniature things for my Advanced Art students to use as reference for a project that we are going to do this year. We are going to make a self portrait project in the form of a "dream room" filled with furniture, objects, hobbies, and things that are important to them. The idea is that they are making a room that they would love to have in their real life and it would look like they just stepped out of the room for a moment, so it will look lived in and realistic. Your videos are *exactly* what I'm looking for because you reuse/repurpose inexpensive materials and give a really simple explanation on how to make realistic-looking objects. I love making miniatures myself, but I don't have the time to make instructional videos for every possible thing they may want to have in their project. I make videos for almost all of my other projects for my Beginning Art, Digital Art, and Advanced Art classes, so I know how long videos take to film and edit. Your videos are really fun to watch and so inspiring! I hope my students love your videos as much as I do! Thank you so much for your hard work!
    As for which plant I like the best, I really can't choose because they are all so well done! I think I will go with the spider plant, as I have a bunch of real life spider plants, both at my house and in my classroom.

    It’s amazing how just starting with painted paper made the leaves look so much more realistic! I absolutely can’t pick a favorite plant but the basket was my favorite container!

      I love the basket and need to make more in different shapes and sizes.

    I watch because Im teaching myself how to be a miniaturist; Im building a dollhouse from a 100 year old gramophone cabinet. Your cleverness blows me away and really opened my mind to the possibilities that can be created. I also really love how you show that I don't have to run out to the store and buy buy buy because there's multiple ways to achieve an effect or look. And lastly I always pick your videos first because the rhythm of your videos and your narration works well with how I want to listen if that makes sense lol 👍🏻😃👏🏻

    • @queencityminis
      @queencityminis  9 месяцев назад +2

      Absolutely! When I first started, I'd buy the exact product a RUclipsr used, but it's unnecessary. I really like making it work with what I have.
      That gramophone cabinet project sounds great.

    I watch for both relaxation and for insperation as well, while watching it gave me ideas for other types of indoor plants, like “Mother-in-Laws Tung” don’t know it’s fancy name only what most Aussies call it. Very long green yellow, to green white in colour and very tuff stems, does not bend much, but does twist a little when growing. Then there was the fern plant with long fronds that curl up and out that starts out brown in colour when rolled up, then as it unrolls the brown is hidden under the plant and it shows off its deep green fronds, mostly seen in the woodlands around the world. Not forgetting that very strange hanging basket plant that’s just long strings of green purls or as I use to call it as a child string peas😹😹.
    Thank you for sharing.🤗🤗🤗

      We call it mother in law's tongue, too as well as a snake plant.

      Maybe start with a room box, so much easier and less expensive. You can still make it as detailed as you want.

    • @queencityminis
      @queencityminis  9 месяцев назад +1

      Very true! Starting with a dollhouse means you have to wait to get a dollhouse. You can make this room box from my channel using cardboard. ruclips.net/video/ZrfYd2SEk10/видео.htmlsi=E3KRB2g0CNZoZiij

    I also really appreciate that you are very, very good at what you do. Be proud of your hands - they are versatile, creative, useful, easy to clean….& you have earned every callous on them ie working hands. Thank you for sharing your extremely interesting work with us.💐
