For the cabinet doors, you can use q tips and tooth picks to make hinges cut qtip into the pieces glue two to the cabinet and one in the middle on the door insert tooth pick before gluing into place

​@@GingerLolaMiniaturesyou can use duct tape for hinges inside the cabinet so they don't show. Put a bead or something for knobs to open the cabinet doors. Tape is paintable and comes in many colors

The bathroom could use curtains and maybe a mat for the floors since that bathroom has an open door... maybe you could make a sliding door or beaded curtain for privacy

Ginger Lola, I really like how the bathroom turned out. You asked that we let you know if you should stain or paint the cabinet tambour? I think you should stain it. A nice honey brown would be soo very pretty in that bathroom with the wall paper you chose. I love the black faucets. I also love the wall hanging. (Yes, add that to your Etsy Shop- they will sell.) You did a great job on the bathroom. I cannot wait to see how the rest will turn out. Have fun crafting!

Thank you so much, I'm definitely going to stain it, I love the honey brown colour as well, I have a few stains, I think i have something similar. Excited to launch my Etsy shop, i'm working on creating wall hangings, hanging planters similar to one in video, vases and more dollhouse decor stuff. I"m working on kitchen next, but also working on mini decor dupes for next couple of videos while i finish the kitchen, i really want to add an exhaust vent over stove but i'll have to move it, plus create a separate laundry room, just hope that stuff is easy to remove, i see screws at the bottom, so it should be ok? Thanks so much again for your comment and support. xoxo

Maybe try sanding down an area on the stick for the hinge that could be why it's not working

I think it's the sticks that's stopping from opening, the hinges work, but i can't open it all the way, someone suggested a piece of leather or heavy fabric to act like hinges, i think it'll give it more room to open, I really don't want to remove any sticks from the side because its cardboard underneath....going to try that first before removing any sticks.

oh yah :) i have a little drill, i think it's a dremel tool and there are attachements, need to test time out :)

A cloth tape would work for a hinge, and it would be a good idea to remove one dowel from either the door or the cabinet so there's room for it to swing. Just paint the exposed board in a matching color. These type of cabinets use a sort of hinge that extends outwards so it can clear the timbers. Not something you can do here, sadly.

@GingerLolaMiniatures

Ай бұрын

Thank you ... i didn't know these curved cabinets needed a different hinge, that kinda explains why it didn't work for me, i think the main problem was there wasn't anything straight to apply the fabric hinge to on the inside :) thanks so much for watching and commenting :)
