    I love your work but I swear I would keep coming back just for the comic relief. Chipotle napkin was a much better choice than say, one from Chick-fil-A!

    How adorable. Furniture that was super plastic and tacky looking turned out very charming.💚💚💚

    You’re right the white wax really pulls it together. They look great!

    This is adorable! Just an FYI, that Waverly chalk paint is just acrylic paint with a chalk finish~ I read this on the label after I purchased it. 😆 But I have used it to great effect on many projects.

    • @queencityminis
      @queencityminis  8 месяцев назад +1

      Yes. I've made my own chalk paint in the oast by mixing nonsanded grout and water into acrylic paint.

    Perfect timing! I just finished sanding a sylvanian bedroom set. But I am going to try to make the furniture about 1-1,5 cm higher for the 1/24 scale doll I have, before painting 😊

    • @queencityminis
      @queencityminis  8 месяцев назад

      Perfect! The Sylvanian furniture does have interesting proportions. The legs are so short.

    Wonderful! The mix of the wood and painted surfaces really works.
    I mix dry pigments with paste wax to create color finishes. Idk how water based media would mix. Hopefully you’ll let me know!

    This is really a neat idea! And what a great find $! I don't think we have anything like that here. Also I'm not sure if at your Wal Mart, but at ours they are clearance a lot of the larger jars of the Waverly Chalk paints (by I think like 5 dollars off). Just thought in case you need any and your store is you might want to check on it. Thank you for sharing this video

    I'm using some silvanian furniture in my 1933 doll house so this come's just at the right time. Got very confused with the chipotle napkin but google saved the day you are funny I thought it was some thing I was going to have send a way for.

    Wow, fabulous technique! 25¢ well spent. But Lord I hate wrkin w/ chalk paint. U can have mine. I want to throw it as far as i can to teach it a lesson.

      @berthaday3473 8 месяцев назад

      ​@@queencityminis It's thin like watered down paint, goes on super streaky, doesn't crackle w/ wet glue like it's supposed too, costs way too much. Apple barrel acrylic paint & water - same effects, less than 1/3 the Waverly price. (I'm honest huh?)🙂

    you are such an artist.
    rustoleum makes a nice grey aerosol primer as you mentioned if you were to paint w/a brighter color, you'd need more of a base color. q-tips are good for removing excess stuff in tight places. all of which you know but your viewers might not. keep up the fantastic work!

      That's a good point. It really does emphasize all the details.

    Hi. Is there much difference in how one would paint all wood items? Would you use a wood stain or fabricate from paint & etc?

    • @queencityminis
      @queencityminis  8 месяцев назад

      There's no need for the sealer if you're painting wood.

    • @ritaeppard5059
      @ritaeppard5059 8 месяцев назад

      If I use a stain and wipe it off, should that get sealed? I'd like it to have glossy finish, possibly. I just got several pieces from the Dollar 🌳. 3 dressing tables/ credenza, & 2 more. My dad was a carpenter extroirdinare. These will be in his memory, 5 years since...
      Thanks for helping us!

    Thank you ever so much for this diy! Though, I was wondering, don't you need to sand down the plastic a bit to get the paint to stick better? Or is that just an a option?

    • @queencityminis
      @queencityminis  5 месяцев назад +1

      You can skip that step if you apply a matte sealer
