20 in 1! How to Make Miniature Things • Bentley House Minis collab

Bentley House Mini's Collab Video
• Making 2 Miniature Uph...
What a dream come true! I was inspired to start my KZread channel after watching Bentley House Minis videos. I am so over the moon about this collaboration and the two signed chairs Ara made for me.
For this collaboration, Ara made things for my project: the Gryffindor Common Room in 1:12 scale. I made minis for Ara's 1:24 scale Fairfield dollhouse. Watch me make 20 half scale dollhouse miniatures using simple methods and everyday materials. These items would work well in 1:16 or 1:24 as well to fit your Lundby, Scandinavian Families, & R Bliss dollhouses. You could make any of these minis in 1:16 or 1:12 scale instead.
The crocheted blanket was made by TiffSniffer on Etsy
www.etsy.com/shop/tiffsniffer
1/2 scale retro table dimensions:
top: 1.25 in x .75 in
smaller top: .75 in x .5 in
The legs are .5 in long. The rails that hold the smaller top are 3/8 in long.
Double the dimensions to make a 1:12 scale version.
I'm modifying Ara's 1:12 scale fireplace room box to use as the Gryffindor Common Room

This is the company that sells the 1:12 room box I showed in the video. It's from a female owned small business.

Cheaper clear mold putty I haven't tried
amzn.to/45JiAlB
2 oz bottle of Diamond Glaze
amzn.to/3zmMLR1
8 oz bottle of Diamond Glaze

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.

Craft heat gun that doesn't get as hot as mine

Paper fasteners & 1/8" hole punch

I am so enamored with accessories, I havent made much furniture yet. The chairs are perfection. I'm so excited to start the Gryffindor Common Room! Watching your video makes me feel a lot more confident about creating the other upholstered pieces in the room.

    The crocheted afghan blanket in the thumbnail was made by TiffSniffer on Etsy. She made it specifically for the Fairfield in 1970s colors. She was fantastic to work with and very responsive. The cost of the blanket including shipping from Canada was only $15! Definitely check her out for any crochet mini needs.

    The problem with the floor lamp is that the beads are too big compared to the lampshade. You can create a larger shade, but that might be too big for your room, or if you like the shade, you might want to make a new base using smaller beads or something else.

    Lovely stuff! I think what is troubling you about the floor lamp is that the base is thick in proportion to the shade. You could either make a wider shade, and/or separate the shade from the base with a thinner piece between the base and where the bulb would be inside the shade. (Hope that makes sense!)

    @@queencityminis Having been a teen in the 1970’s, I think what’s wrong with it is indeed the proportions. The beads were perfect for the smaller lamp on the side table, but a bit thick for the floor lamp. I agree with this who say to make the shade bigger. The shade could also be much wider at the bottom. My sense of the floor lamp is that it might look more realistic with a wooden base, rather than the bead one. Something like a turned wood spindle/dowel would look great, especially with the fancy shade you made. I would make the very bottom base a bit larger as well, to help with the stability both here as the model, and also to look more realistic. My dad has one in his apartment that we’ve had ever since I can remember (I was born in 1962), and it is wooden with an off-white pleated shade. It also has an unusual but seriously useful round table top about half way up the center pole. The table is about the size of your existing lampshade, and should either meet or exceed the size of your base disk. It’s just big enough to create a place for setting your drink and a book. :) The beads would be about the right size and shape to do one of those multi-armed, multi-shade lamps as well (or instead). Three individual shades on three wire stalks that came together to form the center pole would be good. Those were popular in the 60’s, but also the 70’s. Some had as many as 5 lamps, but 3 was more common. Loved your bean bag chairs! I liked the shiny “pleather” look best. :)

    The lamp looks "off" because the shade hits at the widest part of the bead. Your brain assumes the bulb would be at the top where it narrows, which puts the shade too low. A small spacer bead above the orange beads to move the bottom of the shade to a narrow part would fix it. Love all of these, especially the tables. 1/2 scale is my favourite. Great inspiration!

The lava lamp is over the top and the BEST one DIY I've ever seen! Everything is just perfectly vintage and fits into the Fairfield like it's been there forever! The tall floor lamp you feel is "off" just needs some easy adjustment. If you're committed to the stand the shade will need to be made a bit longer and a bit wider. If your committed to the shade the stand circumference will need to be reduced quite a bit, almost a pole only or beads that are slim with a hole big enough to fit on the pole. The lampshade could really be used as a bedside table lamp or desk lamp. 😊

    I came across your Chanel about 6 months ago and loved the details you put into your work,it’s funny really this has been the 5th time I have found a new KZreadr in miniatures that I have started following just before they and Ara do a collaborative video each🤔🤔🤔 It’s not surprising as how many I have watched who watch either of Bentley House and/or Julie Warren’s they are both very talented women when it comes to miniature work and are both great at walking through the steps of how they make their items step by step. I loved seeing normal every day items used and how they completely transform into something amazing.❤️

    1970s floor lamps often had thinner stem. I would use 3 beads and thinner spacers between them putting spacer next to lampshade. I don't think it needed pull switch. It looked good with that pink button even before you painted it :) Lampshade you made is simply brilliant ♥ I think you felt there's something wrong because lamp stem is too think for lampshade and if you made lampshade bigger it would probably be off scale at this point. I absolutely loved table lamp that you made ♥ Mysterious plastic circle from sidewalk is either a plastic grommet or plumbing part from water tap. I found similar ones in water taps that I took apart some years ago. Might be part of a toy too.

    What a great video. I loved everything. My tip for making fringe is to find the color you want in fine woven fabric. Cut one end straight across the weave. Then unravel to the width of fringe you want. Put glue across the top and cut when dry. It ends up being a long piece and curves perfectly around circles or on straight edges for rugs, towels, etc.

I was in high school in the 70's, and the lava lamp cord would have been visible on the table it would be on, and I just wondered if the cords were omitted for a reason. Your color schemes are spot on for the 70's! Love your work!
