I realized too late not to glue down the paper on the sides of the walls. It’s meant to overlap and cover the exposed board. I cut coffee stir sticks and stained them black and made wood corners on mine. I also added flowery flocking to cover all that grass print
I am making this right now. I got stuck with the walls too. I like the idea of painting the extra black. I am customizing mine. I used different paper for the walls and I painted the door yellow. I am excited to see what it will look like finished.
OMG! first let me say, thank you for breaking down the building of the bookstore into different videos. It was so much easier to follow along with you and the instruction book. I still got confused on some things, but figured them out as I went along (common sense as you said in the beginning). You have the patience of Job! I almost lost my religion doing some of these tasks. I did go to the hobby store and got some minature flowers and garland. I had enough making them, just too much for me to sit and fiddle. My back and hands aren't what they used to be so I made it a little easier, and it worked. They (flowers) didn't come out as pretty as the pictures or as you did them, but they are done. I'm still in the building phase so I'll edit when I finish, but thank you, thank you, thank you for helping this poor old girl out.
@@DeeBeesHandicrafts As promised here is my update. I finished the bookstore but had some minor fitting issues with the walls and floor as it was laid out. You were able to get them to fit, I could not. So I have one gap in the back wall (I'm ok with it, you don't see it at all.) I'm just having a hard time getting in the battery box in the hole provided. Seems like it needs to be a bit bigger, but I will let the wires dry for the rest of the day and will work on it tomorrow. Everything is in and hung. It is a cute thing, but I'm not sure I would buy another Mayberry Street miniature again. Onto my Victorian house which is much bigger and I don't need to use tweezers (ha ha ha). You did a great video series for this project. Thanks again. Have a great day.
@juliecruse8029 fantastic! I'm glad you stuck with it though!...think I remember mine not fitting too well either, alot of adjusting to make it work. Thanks so for watching!! ❤️
Ok how does measuring the window pieces help because my book doesnt have measurements on them and the pictures are horribly misleading. Im trying to figure out what is correct but the first plain window is b12 and b10 and in the picture of the supplies needed the b12 is longer than the b10s but then only a shorter one fits the window frame. Im afraid i will use the wrong ones and get to the end and nothing fits! How do we get them to put measurements in the booklets?!? The instructions and images are seriously lacking. But yours looks great!
Oh I know, I remember that being tricky...what I did is I used the big fold out chart that shows all the pieces in real size and compared. Some had measurements some didnt..it's a game of clue. I agree the instructions sometimes take a bit of intuition and guessing. I'm sure yours will turn out great!
Thank you I wish I had thought of that. I'm ready to assemble everything and realized too late that I was supposed to glue the papers that hang off the edges to another piece and now my build won't fit together without exposing unpapered edges. Your video did the same thing I did with mine and yet somehow yours still fits with no exposed edges. How?
@kerimccall7846 ahh...yeah mine didn't fit quite right either..I ended up painting the exposed edges black so it looked a little more finished. Hope helps!
