DIY Miniature Sectional Couch (with chaise)
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
Hi guys! I recently bought a new couch and loved it so much I had to create a miniature 1/12 scale version. I hope you enjoy this tutorial! To those who are super perceptive, the fabric is the same as the one I used to reupholster the life sized wingback chair 😉

I love how professional-looking your miniatures are. It's like something you can buy off Ikea if they had a miniature section.

Omgosh I'm having a flash back. When I was a kid I made upholstered furniture for my Barbies. Then for girls I babysat, then for my daughter. I REALLY enjoyed this video. Thank you so much for sharing 😊
Stunning! I'm in awe of your work. Your quality is better than most regular size furniture. 😊

Hi The Square to Spare, Good day to you. This DIY Miniature Sectional Couch turned out AMAZING, AWESOME, and So Perfect. Excellent Job as always. Thank you for sharing your time, talents, great idea, easy to follow instructions, super creative and fun videos. You always make me smile. Take care, wishing you the very best, and I hope you have a wonderful creative week. Peace & Joy :) like & share as always. Super Amazing and such a fun DIY
FABRIC RECOMMENDATION * Fellow DIYers! I've made a lovely sofa to this video (thanks Cath!!) and would like to advise you against selecting thick fabrics for the upholstery. I chose the kind of fabric that sweatshirts and hoodies are made of (kinda like flock, woven on the outside, woolly on the inside) because the color was perfect. I ended up having edges that are too thick, and some parts around the armrests aren't ideal. Choose the kinds of fabrics that Cath used, ideally I think kitchen placemats will be great as they are thin and the edges don't fray. Best of luck with your creations!

Does it have the same type of texture?
I am in awe. It is almost upsetting to me how incredibly thorough your work is. Like cute aggression, where something is so cute you want to squeeze it to death? Except this work is so detailed I want to scream. You WOOD STAINED the TINY LEGS???? INCREDIBLE. I CAN'T DEAL WITH THIS.
I love your voice. So soothing. I’m going to make furniture for my new Pomeranian doggy for his room with your furniture instructions. Thank you very much.
This looks amazing! You're so incredibly talented! Thank you for continuing to make time to produce videos sharing your masterpieces with all of us, they are always so enjoyable to watch.
I love that you state thre tufting part is relaxing and therapeutic. It made me laugh and remember it's all PERSPECTIVE. 🤪😁
THis is so detailed and well done! Thank you for showing us how to do it.
That is just wonderful. You do such precise and lovely work!
Very nice! The finished product looks so real-to-life. Thank you this video.
WOW ! That’s AMAZING ! Could watch and listen to your lovely voice all day ..BEAUTIFUL WORK !
I love your videos I always love that you are so calm and good at doing crafts!
This is adorable and an perfect DIY in a snow day my daughter is going to love this
You have such a warm voice, always enjoy your content! 💕
Everything just fit so perfectly.. it’s so satisfying

To elaborate: This is in 1/12 scale, or one inch to the foot. Commonly found on dollhouse dolls. Barbie and most similar fashion dolls are approximately 1/6 scale, two inches to the foot. Some dolls (mainly higher end artisan dolls like BJDs) are 1/4 scale, three inches to the foot. Dolls like American Girl and large BJD style dolls such as Smart Doll fall into the 1/3 scale, four inches to the foot. When in doubt, find the measurements for a real sofa (or whatever you're making) in Imperial measurements (or convert from metric). If it's a whole number of feet (example 5ft), just replace each foot with the number of inches (example: for Barbie, 5ft x 2in to the foot = 10in). If it's in inches (example: 18in), then it's easier to just divide it. (example: for AG, 18in x 1/3 = 18/3 = 6in)

Math makes my head hurt. Thank you for doing the calculations to make it 1:6 size.
Gorgeous - so many little details that make such a huge difference to the end result.
This came out amazing!! Love the clean edges and sleekness of the sofa. Great job!!
An idea for a touch of realism and to cover up the bottoms of the finished couches, you can get the material that they place on the underside of both real couches and mattresses as well. It's the white gauze like material. It would help hide and corners under the couch once the legs are added. Love your videos! I am recently new to the miniatures and dollhouse building and have been building on to my current dollhouse project. It's a lovely Victorian. I subscribed to your channel and you are such an inspiration to me for making items myself. So far I've been purchasing items that are pre-made with some upgrades that I do myself. It's so relaxing to do these. And I enjoy your wonderful tutorials so much. Thanks for sharing these.❤
Your work is just amazingly beautiful. May I add that your voice has a calming effect on me.
You do beautiful work and this couch is perfect!
That is SO adorable, I love all of your projects.
Your work is so polished and clean. I’ve seen others who do this and when they are done, it just looks sloppy. Yours never looks anything less than perfect.❤️

Wow, amazing, I found the little impressions into the sofa seating especially exciting. What levels of detail. I wish I had the patience to do something like this but for now, I was v happy to watch someone else.

Totally in love! That finish is just superb!
Thank you! I scaled everything up and used sturdier materials and now have the perfect sectional for my smart dolls.
That's the cutest thing ever. You do a very neat precise job. If I were teeny tiny I would for sure want you to make all of my furnishings. You're a real artist.
This is just amazing! Glad your channel ended up in my recommendations.
