I made these miniature cups, mugs and drinking glasses for my dollhouse kitchen. This tutorial includes miniature wine glasses, doll coffe mugs and tiny glass cups. I hope you enjoy this doll craft project :)
Your miniature work is very beautiful. I would like to know which materials are used, mainly to make the cups. It would be interesting if you put the list of materials in the description of each video so that we can also make the items. My country is not the same as yours, I don't know some materials, especially this type of transparent tape used to make cups. thanks
These are my best guesses for the materials: The transparent tape appears to be clear cellulose tape. (In America, it's usually called Scotch tape and in England it's called Sellotape.) The clear liquid glue is hot glue, which comes in long, solid tubes and needs a special "gun" to melt it. This gun lets you apply hot glue in drops or threads. When the glue cools, it hardens and looks and feels a lot like plastic. (At 1:40, she's using a hair dryer to re-melt the hot glue so that it forms a hollow space inside the tape cylinder. Hot glue doesn't dissolve in water so that's how the cup is able to hold liquid.) With the mugs, I think she coats the paper mug with something called Mod Podge (hard to explain what it is, it's a sort of craft varnish that dries clear). This helps make the mug stiff so it will hold its shape. Then it looks like she coated the paper mug with nail polish. Since nail polish is water resistant, the mug can hold liquid as long as all the paper has been coated with the polish.
Wait so are you melting the hot glue with the blow dryer or is it plastic you're melting? You did well very well done but im curious about ur method and how its not melting everything else?
