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 watch for both entertainment and to learn. Your voice is calming and not too much annoying music. I’ve always loved miniatures since I was a little girl but am just now in my 50’s starting to make miniatures. I love that you share your knowledge step by step and use obtainable materials and most of all I love your sense of humor. Definitely one of my favorite commentators!

@@kilodeltawhisky1504 The crafting part of my brain is like, "Oh, I could use that little thingy for a mini project." Agree with you about the interruptions to get a towel, another full bottle of glue, scissors etc. Should have everything near your work area before you start to record or edit the video better.
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.

Your artistry! 🌱🍃🌿 The baby spider in the spider plant makes this an easy favorite among the different plants-which are all equally mesmerizing, I just love that you added a baby to it because that’s the most fun part about watching spider plants grow. (Until my neighbor’s cat chews them off.) I started watching your channel after YT recommended one of your videos. You immediately became binge worthy, and so relaxing. Every source stress in life evaporates. 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! Math is hard. I a door you! 🤭💫🌷

Your soothing voice and delivery, the equally soothing and unobtrusive music, your clever sense of humour, your creative designs, and your innovative approach to the hobby bring your channel up to a level that can not be described as EDUCATIONAL, or ENTERTAINMENT, or SOOTHING and CALMING, or a CRAFTING channel - it's just downright ENJOYABLE!!!

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.

I agree. They're so satisfying to look at.
so wonderful! I am a stained glass artist and have been wanting to make a tiny victorian greenhouse, your videos have really inspired me to get this project going

That sounds gorgeous! Have fun
I recently discovered your channel through recommendations (algorithm is actually doing its job) Also I am a crafts person myself, I always worked on big-scale projects (usually big armor and weapons), so I feel fascinated by miniatures like yours or doll customisation. Your patience and presision are something to envy

YOU are the REAL MVP! Thank you for all your inspirations! My mom had a love for all things mini and we bought a miniature kit to build right before COVID, unfortunately she passed away do to COVID and the kit is still unfinished. We were doing changes to it and I just never picked it up. It’s a Rolfie one! 😅 The green house! My mom also loved flowers! Thank you so much for your videos! Please continue on! Trust me it means a lot to so many of us! You ma’am are a true inspiration!!! Much love from FL!

Hello from New Zealand, I love watching your videos. I make minitures from scratch to and the houses. My granddaughter was gifted the exact same miniture kit with the desk, and because she is only 7, I had to make it, and the desk was very hard to make up. I managed to get it made, and the whole kit looks amazing better than the picture on the box. Thank you for all your great ideas 💖

Wow! A favorite would be hard to pick but that spider plant with the teeniest spider baby is prob at the top of the list. They are so realistic looking. Right now I’m watching for entertainment but I have made a miniature from a hobby lobby kit. I will do another once cold weather hits and my garden has been put to bed.

That's a great idea! Gardens are a huge time commitment. Minis can keep you busy through the winter.
Well done. A fine selection of plants and pots. Got to give them a try. Thanks.

I watch to relax and get tips on making minis. I've gotten so many great ideas from your videos, so thank you! I thought the spider plant was my favorite until you showed that really simple one in the stone pot. I'm also glad to see I'm not the only one that gets frustrated by those robotime kits where so much of the furniture is just "Bend this wire to make the desk, chair, table, railing, etc"

I agree! That stone bead is so cool. I'd love to have a real life vase like that. Rolife needs to chill out with the bent wire stuff. It's so hard to get right. It's not fun!
I am explicitly bad with minis, but this channel is my sanctuary. Seriously, this is so soothing and relaxing, thank you so much for all the work you do!

I will probably never pursue a project like this, but I love seeing the creative process in action. It is wonderful how creatives can visualize something from bits of nothing. Admiration!

Just watching is fun and relaxing, but maybe you could make a mini a time or two.
They are all so very cool, but I love that spider plant. I watch because I want to try my hand at some of these minis to put in dioramas that I sometimes make. Your voice is very calming and your subtle humor always makes me giggle. Thanks for sharing your great talent.

kzread.info/dash/bejne/fJOMutCnhNbOk8o.htmlsi=LtIILzTF7Wlsbkyj You should! I think making some miniature mugs is the perfect way to break into the hobby. These are so fun and easy. There are so many ways you can decorate them.
My hubby is an electrician and those "wire nuts" are called marrettes. I definitely have a lot! I love your videos, so informative and less expensive options, and very innovative. I watch to learn and for the humour. (yes there is a u in it I' m Canadian eh!)
