Building this  

Thank you Mary Kay! I left this one until the end because the idea of trying to build it, terrified me, lol. But once I got started, I found it wasn’t as hard as I thought it would be. You just need to take it one step at a time.

@@littlebylittledollhouseminis Much like life. I went back and found the miniature guitar video by Square to Spare. She used thread for the strings which looked way easier. She painted them to look like metal. If you ever do another stinged instrument, (ha! fat chance, right) you might want to try that. And I sure wouldn't want to use pop sickle sticks as she did. Thank goodness you used real wood. I checked out the vid on that sofa bed and god love her, there was no way you could have followed that. Yours was a vast improvement in that regards as well. I've loved the whole series. And the stories are great. Thank you for sharing your family history with us.

@@marykayryan7891 I never watched the guitar video of hers but i did watch the violin a few years ago. My Grandpa played the fiddle so I am considering making a fiddle using her tutorial. I never thought of using thread and painting it, 😆. If I decide to do the fiddle, that is exactly what I will do!

That was exactly the kind of music my family played. As a kid of 13 or 14 years old, I didn’t have a real appreciation for the Beer Barrel Polka 😂, but I would give anything to hear them all play now! I’m glad it sparked some good memories for you! (PS, I spend many an evening asleep on my coat, under the bench 😊)

Thank you! For this project, the story is the whole purpose of the build.😊 Taking a full size item and bringing it down to miniature size can be challenging, but it is the most fun part!

Thank you Lori! Those wires were a real pain in the, you know what!! But I’m happy with how it turned out. Thank you for always being so kind and so supportive! I always look forward to hearing from you! ❤️

Thank you Robyn, I appreciated the kind comment!💚

Thank you Zinthia! And best of luck with your build. I’d love to see pictures one day!!

Thank you Briana! It’s is a long way from perfect by I like it anyway! 😂

Thank you! It was very intimidating to start but I was so happy how it turned out!

Thank you Kelly. For me the stories are the whole point of the project so I appreciate that others enjoy them too! The banjo was my first attempt at a musical instrument but I still have a fiddle to make. Another subscriber suggested using thread for the strings and I definitely am going to take that advice!

@@littlebylittledollhouseminis thread is a wonderful idea for strings! Something that I've used to emulate tiny string is monofilament 😍 I don't know how fishing line is graded in Canada, but in the U.S. it's graded as "test". I use a 2 or 4 lb (pound) test for things like instrument strings or hanging things and in cases where I want the line/string disguised a bit more. I've also used it when I needed to hang or drape foliage on a pergola or something similar. The drawback to monofilament, however, is that it can melt😢. One brand that doesn't have that problem is Spiderwire because it's made from thread. I thank you for sharing your stories and 😍 your talent and I always look forward to your videos ❤️

@@MimmiesMinis-KellyPenny Thank you for that suggestion! My husband is a fisherman so I will definitely have a look in his tackle box!

@@littlebylittledollhouseminis awesome!!!! There is sooooo much cool stuff to find in a tackle box!! So much so I have to hide mine from my hubby to keep him out of it😳😂!

Thank you! My Dad could play as well. It is one of my favourite instruments!

Thank you so much Melanie!!

Thank you Donna! I’m glad you like it!!

Thank you!!

Thank you! Ohh, I would love to see you guitar!!
