When I was a kid, I still remember picking out a Beetlejuice action figure from the toy store. He was dressed in his maroon tux from the end of the movie and you could pull his normal head off to reveal his shrunken head beneath. I love this project so much!
I promise I am very normal so that is very true!! But I have also done this a few times. If you put my first dolls next to my current ones they would look very different! It just takes practice and anyone can get similar results!😉💖
Shrunken Head guy is so good looking! His sewn lips are so believable. I loved the Addams Family project, but this one is so funny. I vote for Magicians Helper for sure!
Just retched this again for like the 5th time lol. I am reeeeeeeally looking fwd to Beetlegust again this year! These waiting room dolls are my favorite ~ they are all OUTSTANDING!!
You are a great creator and artist. The people are great and I just love them. I know you are having fun creating them because I'm totally enjoying watching you. Everything is so great. Thank you for cuddling Stormy for us, she is so adorable and cute. Can't wait to see the rest of the waiting room evolve. RIP everyone ❣️💜❣️
This is so cool. I started watching at the end of the Adam's Family House, so it is absolutely amazing to watch the progress of such a big progress from the start! Love all you do!
Because of your videos, I finally watched "Beetlejuice". I never wanted to watch it, it just never looked like my speed. But I appreciated it more as I recognized the sets and props and characters, and I appreciate you more when I see how well you truly captured all the features of the movie.
Thank you Argus!! I think it's often times the set and the feel of movies that attract me more than the stories. Just like the Addams house, the Beetlejuice House has a character all its own and it's fun to try and capture it!
The detail is just freakishly fantastic...love love love the expressions on these characters Ara! Beetlegust is such a vibe, enjoying these videos 😁🧟🧟♀
As always… amazing!! The way you are bringing a favorite movie to life is lovely and I cannot wait to see what’s next! Maybe the sawed in half girl? 🧡🖤🧡
As much as I love everything you do, this project might be one of my favorites! Everything you create is so inspiring! I’ve learned ALOT watching your channel and can’t wait to see you do more! Thanks for sharing
I agree, they are kind of cute. It's so cool to see how these dolls came together. Shrunken head guy really makes the waiting room for me. I dread sewing small clothes and try to avoid it, but describing the clothing parts as tubes was helpful in making it feel like a less daunting task.
I am so glad that was helpful! I have learned its just a lot of bending shapes until they work. As long as I am patient with having cut and recut pieces it works out in the end!
@@BentleyHouseMinis I literally look forward to your videos every week. They’re my lunch break relaxation. I love to watch creative content and you’re a great host/instructor. You have the classic “let’s be brave/try it/use our imagination/art teacher” charm.
I learn something new each and every time you make anything. You are a fantastic teacher and I appreciate everything that you’ve made. Thank you again.🥰
@@BentleyHouseMinis I love being a student too but I’m not a very good teacher. You certainly are a wonderful teacher, I have learned so much from you so far and I thank you again for everything.🥰
Beetlejuice is my absolutely favorite movie! So happy to see you doing this project. The shrimp hands you made had me so happy. Haha. Can't wait to see the finished product when it's all done! But also, Chicken Man has a name! Chicken Man=Ferndock
Thank you!! Those were so fun to figure out how to make!! You are so right... I just need to find names for all the others now too. I wonder what is says in the credits?
My mother had a mantle clock that never ran in my lifetime. She told people it was the correct time twice a day. Are you hoping that we just forget about your marker board for project completeness? This project will certainly not diminish your title of Internet Sensation! I LOVE that you are getting these amazing results without using your arsenal of million dollar equipment!
😄 That's so wild... my clock was right twice a day too. What are the chances? 😉 I will definitely be marking up the board a bit after the dolls are all done👍
Oh! This was SUCH fun! Watching was well worth the lost productivity on my "professional" responsibilities...........I so wish making a living didn't interfere so much with making fun, but such is life, neh? I am totally captivated with this series and await each episode with great anticipation!
I am loving seeing this project come together. It has got me thinking about potential movie based projects of my own, as if I need to add anything else to my project list. I want to make something Labyrinth inspired although I don’t exactly know what, yet, good thing there’s no rush.
These came out great!!!! Can’t wait for the next ones😊The guy who is the head shrinker and the lady who is in 2 halves would be a good choice next😊 Love seeing Stormy! Thanks for sharing ❤️
I always makes me laugh hearing the character names from Beetlejuice. I adore your videos, I have always been fascinated by doll houses and miniatures. When i was younger I used to make little house out of cardboard boxes for my smaller dolls. I would have never thought to make my own leather with modge podge, it looks so good. I really love how the characters come out more and more with each detail
@@BentleyHouseMinis You're most welcome :) Isn't it funny how something from our childhood affects our hobbies later in life. Smallest thing I've made in my adulthood is Barbie clothes for my daughter. It was during lockdown and she grew out of a lot of her clothes, so the stuff that wasn't good enough for donation we cut up and I made outfits for her dolls. It was great fun, now I'm more into crochet.
You never cease to amaze me with your creations. Beetlejuice and the Addams Family were 2 of my favorite movies when I was a little girl. Ive always been attracted to the macabre and unusual things in life. I absolutely love your Addams Family House and so far your Beetlejuice house and characters are turning out just as good. My only complaint is the length of time between videos. But I know being creative takes time. Lol. I'm so looking forward to the next Beetlegust video. I can't wait to see what Lydia and Ms Argentina look like! You are so creative and innovative!
Same here! I used to 'practice' not smiling so I could be more like Wednesday lol! I wish I could make videos a little faster but I think I have an idea to make some mini-episodes when something is taking longer than usual to fill the gaps. I could talk about a single technique or organize something with you all. Not my regular type of video but it would be easy to edit and share while the other projects take their time. I hope to put it into practice soon!
You did it again! I'm in awe of your talent. And I love watching the characters get a personality. Waiting (impatiently, I might add) for the next character(s).
Ara!!!! These are amazing. Shrunken head man is so cute!! I love watching you work. I will be anxiously awaiting for the next 2 characters. Have a great weekend ❤️
The "t-shirt button center thing" is called a "placket"...basically the part of pants, shirts, or a skirt where the fastenings go or that conceals those fastenings. Now you know...although "t-shirt button center thing" is cute!
Amazing as always, Ara! I imagine Miss Argentine is just waiting to make her dramatic entrance =D Poor smoking man... STILL nobody who he can hold a conversation with. Wonder if they covered that situation in the book.... lol
You are amazing delving into your creations without hesitation. I don't know how much time you spend planning your characters, but they are spot on. I have a suggestion for making shoes for your dolls: drape the fabric the opposite direction so that the seam is in the back; that will give the shoe toe a smoother cap. There are DIY patterns for making doll shoes for all sizes that are easy. Once you have a basic pattern, you can adjust it for your different size dolls. Best wishes. I'm anxious to see the completed project.
When I was a kid, I still remember picking out a Beetlejuice action figure from the toy store. He was dressed in his maroon tux from the end of the movie and you could pull his normal head off to reveal his shrunken head beneath. I love this project so much!
That's so cool!
Aww I agree, that's so cool!!
Omg, I had the same one!!
I absolutely love your channel. You make it seem like 'normal people' can make these things. Thanks so much.
I promise I am very normal so that is very true!! But I have also done this a few times. If you put my first dolls next to my current ones they would look very different! It just takes practice and anyone can get similar results!😉💖
There is no one like you. You are so creative, and I learn so much. Thanks for sharing with us.
😊😊 Thank you, you are too sweet!
Shrunken Head guy is so good looking! His sewn lips are so believable. I loved the Addams Family project, but this one is so funny. I vote for Magicians Helper for sure!
Thank you Candace! I am so glad the sewn lips come across even though they aren't really. They just seemed too fiddly lol!
WHAT A GREAT SHRUNKEN HEAD MAN! THOSE EYES ARE SO PERFECT!!! Outstanding work on the characters! Outstanding!!!
Thank you! I was torn between filling in the beads and painting but I am glad I left them as is! So glad you like him too!
Wow your so talented ,they look just like the guys in the movie fantastic.✌️👏👍🇨🇦😆
Just retched this again for like the 5th time lol. I am reeeeeeeally looking fwd to Beetlegust again this year! These waiting room dolls are my favorite ~ they are all OUTSTANDING!!
I think they are both cute, too. You did a great job. The waiting room is starting to come to life... or maybe not.
Haha thank you pam!
I am enjoying this series so very much. Thank you for continuing to be awesome.
You are a great creator and artist. The people are great and I just love them. I know you are having fun creating them because I'm totally enjoying watching you. Everything is so great. Thank you for cuddling Stormy for us, she is so adorable and cute. Can't wait to see the rest of the waiting room evolve. RIP everyone ❣️💜❣️
Aww thank you Ruth! I am enjoying creating them so much so I am very glad that is coming through the video! 💖
My goodness you are just amazing!! These turned out so wonderful!! Can’t wait to see whose next!!
All I can say is …👍🏻👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏BRAVA!!!!! Well done! The girl that is cut in half is a cool character and the shark dude is as well.
Thank you!! I am so excited about the shark guy bit he is going to take up so much room lol!!
The shrunken head man is my fav. I’m loving this project. Awesome job
Can' t wait for the half woman! These are great!
Your attention to detail is astounding! Holes in the belt who woulda thought. Fascinating work, I’m very excited for next week.
Thank you Brandi! They were some of the easiest details to add but some of the most satisfying! I love it when that happens😊
I'm really impressed at the projects you take on. This is a BIG project but you're doing a great job of tackling it.
Thank you!! I have to make sure it's something I am really really excited about or else I will loose steam about half way through lol!
Je suis sans mot tellement que je t' ADMIRATIVE ! Tu es mon IDOLE ! Merci de nous montrer ton savoir-faire hors pair !
Thank you my friend! You are so kind❤
You have nailed each one of these characters. I love them all and amazed by your talents! Can't wait for the rest of them. Thanks, Ara!
Thank you Marty!
This is so cool. I started watching at the end of the Adam's Family House, so it is absolutely amazing to watch the progress of such a big progress from the start! Love all you do!
Thank you for watching for so long! I am so glad you are enjoying the long, long process these take lol!

It’s really starting to come together! I especially like the shrunken head guy.
Thank you!!😊
The level of creativity you have is unmatched, I’m in such awe!
The detail is just freakishly fantastic...love love love the expressions on these characters Ara! Beetlegust is such a vibe, enjoying these videos 😁🧟🧟♀
😊 Thank you!! I will be sad when the Beetlegust vibe is done🥴 I might need to figure out more 'vibes' for the other projects!
Who knew making dolls was so cool. Love the shrunken head hunter figure best. Can't wait until you turn on the lights.
Thank you Anthony!! I am looking forward to that too!!
I was transfixed. You make these characters seem so achievable!! Thank you so much Ara, and love from England x
I am so glad you enjoyed the video!! 😊❤
Miss Argentina and the cut-in-half woman would be great to see next!
You are so talented 💖 Please keep Miss Argentina for the end! She will be " la cerise sur le sunday 🍨"
That's the plan! I am also worried about making her right!
Love how the shrunken head man turned out, and putting an 'actual' bone in the chicken man's neck was a good call. Another great video. :}
I always have to add in that realism ;) lol! Thank you Yezzy!
Always enjoy your videos. Like how you make their hair. And thank you for the tip about making faux leather.
Oh wow! These truned out soo cool! I honestly can't choose which one I prefer more! Can't wait for the next ones!
Thanks so much 😊
As always… amazing!! The way you are bringing a favorite movie to life is lovely and I cannot wait to see what’s next! Maybe the sawed in half girl? 🧡🖤🧡
You got it! Her video will be up very soon!
As much as I love everything you do, this project might be one of my favorites! Everything you create is so inspiring! I’ve learned ALOT watching your channel and can’t wait to see you do more! Thanks for sharing
Aww thank you! That means a lot to me!!
Awesome 👍🏾 thank you ❤️, going to watch this movie 🍿 on the weekend 🤗
I hope you enjoy it!!! Thank you Shettikka!💖
Each character is amazing, Ara! I am gaining so much knowledge on how to make figures. Thank you!
Bravo! BRAVO!! 👏 👏 👏 👏
😊😊

I am blown away! Loving this series.
Thank you! I am having fun with it too!
Awesome! 😀
I think the magician's assistant and Miss Argentina will be next 🤔
They both turned out so good! I'm still shying away from people.... Creatures however, I do like creating them :D Much love!
Having the kits makes it so much easier when it comes to people. It helps reduce the stress I get from sculpting faces!😄
Love it. I’ll bet you do Miss Argentina and the Magician’s Assistant next. The room needs some ladies. ❤️
Definitely one of them will be next ;) Miss Argentina will make her appearance last most likely!

It's crazy how much that does look like leather from a distance in a miniature form so awesome
This is so cool I can’t stop smiling watching these characters I love so much come to life! 😊
Loving the new Characters to the waiting room it's really coming to afterlife, sorry life wouldn't have worked since they are all in the after life 🤣
😄😄 good one! Thank you Zoe!

Thank u Ara as always u did a great job I think I must watch bettle juice again.
Oh Boy I have been waiting for Friday for this! It was worth te wait. You did another
marvelous job. 👍🏻👏🏻
Yay! Enjoy!💖
Oh my gosh, girl these are fantastic! Well done!

I am loving seeing this project come together. It has got me thinking about potential movie based projects of my own, as if I need to add anything else to my project list. I want to make something Labyrinth inspired although I don’t exactly know what, yet, good thing there’s no rush.
I Would absolutely love a miniature labyrinth!! Maybe a room box of Sarah’s bedroom? And the flipside could be the ballroom scene ?
You should definitely go for it! That would be awesome!
You've done a very nice job. I think you must have liked doing these figures. They certainly are fun!
I am enjoying them a lot right now but I am sure I will be done with dolls by the end of this month lol! Thank you!
@@BentleyHouseMinis I hope you will do more - those are really excellent work!
Stunning...so detailed and so much effort !!! 🙂
These came out great!!!! Can’t wait for the next ones😊The guy who is the head shrinker and the lady who is in 2 halves would be a good choice next😊 Love seeing Stormy! Thanks for sharing ❤️
I hope to show Stormy more in the next few videos. I just have to remember to point the camera towards the floor every now and then lol! Thanks Liz!
I’m having a giggle attack here he looked funny like one of those dolls that moves with string when you pull it but it looks really cool.
Both characters turned out so good. I love Beetlegust.
Thank you Renee!

💖💖 Thank you Lisa!! The process doesn't feel magical in the middle of it lol!😄 But I am always happy to share!
Wonderful.!!!!!
Shrunken head man came out so good!! The boots look awesome
You always amaze! Thanks for sharing 😁
Phenomenal job with both of them! Well done.
You did it again! I'm in awe of your talent. And I love watching the characters get a personality. Waiting (impatiently, I might add) for the next character(s).
😄 Hopefully the next ones will go a bit faster! thank you Pat!
@@BentleyHouseMinis I don't care how long they take. I could watch you for several hours!
Oh my! Fantastic!
I cant wait to see the lady before i had my lil accident. 🖐🏾🖐🏾 and the lady that cut n half.
All of these characters are just absolutely fabulous!! You are an amazing artist!!
❤ Thank you!
I love that you did shrunken head guy!!!my favorite. also if you hit the acrylic with a coat of mr super clear, the pastels hold well to that.
I will have to do that first next time! I just went straight in and made a mess🤦♀️ Each new doll is a learning process though! So glad you liked him!
Love them, they turned out excellent 👍🤣
Thank you Teresa!
They look fantastic.
Ara!!!! These are amazing. Shrunken head man is so cute!! I love watching you work. I will be anxiously awaiting for the next 2 characters. Have a great weekend ❤️
Thank you Keisha!!💖 I am excited to get started because the next two will be so different to these two!
Loving Beetlejuice so far!!! The characters look so good. My mom and I watched the movie after watching your first video.
Yay! I hope you enjoyed the movie too! It's a wild ride!
I ground up some of my chalk pastels and put them in the little pots like you did, and it was so much easier. Thanks for the tip!
They are so much easier to use that way! I am glad it helped!
The "t-shirt button center thing" is called a "placket"...basically the part of pants, shirts, or a skirt where the fastenings go or that conceals those fastenings. Now you know...although "t-shirt button center thing" is cute!
I always love learning new terms for things through making minis! Thanks for the info!
This is fabulous- thank you 😊
I can't tell you how happy this makes me!! Just makes my day!!!
Aww yay! I am happy to hear that!
These guys came out great.
Absolutely amazing with all the details.
Great work! Beetlegust is so fun!
Truly amazing. These creations have so much character and details. Ara, you are so patient and gifted. This is one of my favorite channels.
I appreciate you all being patient too since they are taking me a while lol!! Thank you Flor!
Awesome! The details 🤩😍
Wow nice so excited to see this finished love Beetlejuice
👏Félicitations, c’est superbe! 👏
It's always a pleasure to see you create amazing characters 😄👍
Thank you Mieke!😊
Wow so so cool. I'm so happy to have found your channel. Love Beetlejuice and miniatures ❤️
Aww thank you!! Welcome to the channel!!
Awesome job! I love watching these characters being made. Fun!
Great!
They both turned out brilliant 👏 well done 👏 x
Thank you Dorothy!! 😊
Amazing as always, Ara! I imagine Miss Argentine is just waiting to make her dramatic entrance =D
Poor smoking man... STILL nobody who he can hold a conversation with. Wonder if they covered that situation in the book.... lol
That is exactly what I going to happen miss Argentina is going to be last
She will definitely be towards the end because I see her as the jewel of the waiting room! I am so nervous to make her! 😄 Poor Smoking man!
@@BentleyHouseMinis she def is the jewel of the waiting area!
