Thank you!

What a great idea! Resin gets expensive too so using hot glue is a good cheaper alternative

Easy, great ideas. Cutting out pictures from industrial catalogs is genius! I think hot glue sticks come in different colors now, could save some time painting. Thanks!

Thank you :) I always like to explain how to make something even if you don't have all the materials I use. Where there's a will, there's a way. You can make minis from anything.

Thanks for the great ideas and cheaper ways to make these little bottles!

Hello, I just found your videos yesterday and I knew I had to subscribe. Once I saw your Abandoned Lab video and how much of that you made from your own imagination I thought, this lady knows things. I normally restore, Lesney Matchbox Toys or Dinky Toys but I've always had an interest in minatures and doll houses. Your lab is great and these bottles are pretty cool. I'll be watching more of your videos and learning.

I learned that tip from Little Gretchen. Even the ugly ducklings get to be part of the scene (just hide them 🤗)

These turned out great! And perfect timing too...I'm starting to work on the bathroom in my dollhouse and need to make some bottles for it. I almost sent you a message earlier this week because I was trying to stain a Chrysnbon kit and couldn't get the paint to stick. I finally figured it out by adding a bit of mod podge to the mix. :)

Love them🥰 I made the same mistake with not sealing the paper first..lol but quickly learned...I think it makes a difference coloring both sides bc it makes the paper look and feel older. I'm gonna have to try some of that mold putty!

Thank you! I definitely recommend mold putty. I've made so many molds and I'm only halfway through the bottles. It lasts forever and it's really useful.

These are awesome

Hey Shyra, thanks for your amazingly easy to follow videos, I love using hot glue in projects to get details that would be hard to replicate in other ways. I haven’t used the putty before and you make it look so easy, I’m going to give it a try. Also thank you so much for your post! It’s getting close to that magic number and I’m incredibly grateful for your support ❤

Your use of hot glue in silicon molds is brilliant. I have some similar molds. I'll need to try that out. Sharing your channel is my pleasure. It's a treasure trove of excellent miniature making ideas.

I'm sure it would. I have a Cricut. I'm just too aggravated by technology to utilize things that can help. I end up doing everything by hand.

This is perfect for the 1:6 witch's/healers cottage I want to make! What glue do you use to put the labels on the bottles?

I used Canopy glue which is just white glue. Elmer's glue or any other type of pva glue would work as well.

Hey Shyra, what kind of glue gun do you use? Is it dual temp? I need to get a new one and I LOVE the bottles made with hot glue. I'm just curious if they will still turn out yellow if you use the low temp. I need a new printer too lol. When moving from overseas most electrical items can't come with 🤪

@queencityminis

It's an EasyHome hot glue gun. It IS a duel temp 😂 I never noticed. The switch is on high so that's what I always use it on. Maybe I'll change it up now and then. An overseas move sounds like an adventure for sure. Enjoy!
