Great tutorial. I love how encouraging you are. Your voice is so calming and soothing, which is exactly what I need when I make anything because the stress and frustration levels can get pretty high. And I also love how you stress what matters most is doing it how you like it. Thank you for the great video

@littlegretchensworkshop7665 10 месяцев назад

Thank You POLLY! I'M SO glad you heard me! Making Miniatures should be fun not stressful! There are no rules, deadlines, codes, load bearing walls or permits to pull! Have Fun enjoy the process and don't compare your work to anyone else's! Just do you Best! And if you are not happy with the result, that just means you need to do it AGAIN.... and maybe again. Each time you improve. Don't be afraid of being bad at it for a little while!☺️❤️ You will be better! Thank you for WATCHING!

@littlegretchensworkshop7665 2 года назад

I totally agree! I just needed some greenery! I love it when I see plants that are "botanically" correct! My plants are "Botanical Impressions"!

@littlegretchensworkshop7665 2 года назад

How cool that they are "recognizable"! LOL! My mom had those type of plants around our house all the time, so guess that's what i think of when i think of plants. SO at least they made a good 'impression'!

Such lovely plants made from masking tape, and floral wire! You never disappoint! I love that you used tea to make the potting soil for your potted plant! My Mom and I drink tea, and just throw away the used tea bags. Now, I think I can re-use the tea bags by letting them dry out, and collecting the tea leaves. You have inspired me to make some mini plants for my doll house! 😊😊 By the way, I saw some pretty flowers in some of your pots. Will you make a video tutorial on how to make the flowers?? I'd surely watch that! Thanks for the tutorial, Little Gretchen's Workshop! Take care! ~Janet in Canada

@littlegretchensworkshop7665 2 года назад

That is a very good idea to dry out used tea bags! I drink alot of tea too, but over the years i have certain ones that i don't really enjoy, so I use those for my "soil". Yes i do have that random floral pot there it was in the batch of leftover items i had while I was making the PLANTS. I do plan to do some flowers soon. I have so many videos lined up and the ideas keep coming, thank you for the suggestion. Also, let me know how your plants from tape turn out.

I don't do doll houses, I make plastic kits and do dioramas in quite a small scale. This can easily scale down to the scales I work in, so thanks for the great ideas.

@nessiemonstercrafts Год назад

Thanks for sharing! Im going to have to revisit this method when I make some more plants, the last method I tried turned out great for one plant, but the other plant....well I'm not sure what the heck kind of plant it was in the end lol, but it was part of the learning process so it will be tucked away in a dark corner somewhere.

@recoveringsoul755 2 года назад

@@jasonfrederick6564 I've seen people making palm trees for huge displays for action figures with tape and wire. Lots of videos of making trees, logs, vines for jungle scenes like for Predator or Yoda's Dagobah system hut, that sort of thing. I don't do the tabletop gaming but like Star Wars and miniatures so maybe I see it more. My Froggy Stuff channel and Where The Gnomes Live both have spooky tree tutorials and Froggy has some other plants too. Look up miniature greenhouse plants because the dollhouse world has kits for greenhouse buildings and those need plants. Some people make stores or produce stands so if you need a basket of apples you can find that too
