1/12th Scale Pair of Suitcases Tutorial

These easy to make suitcases look great as part of a miniature scene or in a room of your dolls house and can be displayed closed, or open to include a display of miniatures. Have fun choosing co-ordinating paint colours, straps and lining paper to compliment your scene.

    Your work is inspirational and attention to exact details and measurements is awesome. Thank you. I’ve made a suitcase and trunk thanks to you. . I just wonder….don’t most suit cases have the handle on the body of the case rather than on the lid? Great videos. Bravo!!

    One way to get measurements exact fir boxes and furniture is to print the shape using exact measurements on the computer - with photoshop - and then cut out the net and draw round it for a template.

    Good evening Mam. I'm very new to this. I'm making a 1 12 scale Victorian dolls house.for our new Granddaughter I've been watching your KZread channel . I think it's brilliant. I'm at a point of fixing it all together, but I'm stick of fixing the front opening panels on. Could you point me in the right direction for your video that explains this please. I have a few questions so hopefully your video will answer them. Thank you for your time.

    Julie, please, love this tutorial as I’ve said already, but have I missed something? What is the need for the paint? I’ve stuck the paper and hessian straight to the wood.

  • @JulieWarren

    @JulieWarren

    Жыл бұрын

    These ones are just painted, but if you're asking about the larger trunk, it's so you don't have a plain wooden edge showing around the opening, and if your hessian has a more open weave, again, you can't see the colour of the wood showing through. Having said that, I'm just showing how I do it, you can of course do it how you wish.
