Sorry I had to! I honestly loved watching this video so much. Of course I'm a tad biased but I've been dying for months waiting to see what you made and it was so worth the wait. I feel guilty that I added so much to mine lol I feel like I cheated you. I'm glad you like the earrings I bought them long ago and never had a chance to wear them so I was hoping you'd find a use. So glad they actually got to be real accessories for you!!! They look beautiful. I'm so blown away by the end result and how you used all the materials I sent, I think you should totally create a fairy tale home now! Each room can be a new theme representing your favourite childhood fairy tales or remembering the most special moments with your grandparents and your storytimes together. Thanks so much for doing this collab with me, it was a ton of fun. 🤗

I heard my Granddaughter screaming “GRANPA! GRANPA! GRANDPA!” and I almost broke my neck running into the house thinking she’d cut off her hand or something. Instead she shows me her tablet and informs me I have to make her a Princess and the Pea bed for her doll castle. Once my heart returned to semi-normal rhythm I had a flash back to being 10 years old and my grandmother telling each of us grandkids a bedtime story. She always told my cousin Shana the story of the Princess and the Pea. First... BRILLIANTLY DONE!! BRAVA!! Second... Thank you for bringing back a favorite childhood memory Third... Thank you for giving a Granddad the perfect thing to create for his beautiful granddaughter. Lastly.. because of this I’m going back to the gym! 😂

@BentleyHouseMinis 3 года назад

Oh my goodness I am so glad everyone is ok!! I know that heart sinking feeling when you hear a kiddo yelling your name! I am so glad this will be made for your granddaughter! She has an awesome grandpa😁

@samanthadean1083 3 года назад

Me: I wish I had tools small enough to carve beautiful tiny details in doll furniture... Ara: glues sequins and paper flowers, then covers with gesso and paint so it looks hand carved. Also Me: ...Why didn't I think of that? 🤔

@BentleyHouseMinis 3 года назад

If I can fake it and make it easier on myself... all the better ;) I do hope to learn someday how to really carve though!

@jennycorey8968 3 года назад

Ara, I love this and I love what Jen did as well. I was surprised to learn that you two are friends. I have been watching her for a long time, but just toy reviews, not crafting. I don't care much about toys, but I do love her personality. These two videos were such fun to watch, I hope you will do more of the same. Please stay safe in this crazy world.

@andreavictoriaparadiso47 3 года назад

Absolutely fantastic! And the little pea detail is the icing on the cake. I have no idea what I would have made with what Jen sent you but when I saw that huge reel you sent her I immediately thought of a Ferris wheel or a carousel (which she made). Jen did some serious building, too, for sure. So much fun to watch the two of you trash geniuses make these treasures. Inspirational!

@absotivelypawsilutely796 3 года назад

You both did so well! I loved the story of the Princess and the Pea as a kid because I always had trouble sleeping so someone bought me the book and I used to read it all the time, but for some reason whenever I'd mention it no one else knew what I was talking about, so it's really nice to be reminded of it by your lovely project here.

@Shari_A._ 3 года назад

Love this project. It looked like a lot of fun for you to put together. Ok, so.. Rosettes. The circular thing you were trying to make with the accordion folds. Rosettes are tricky. I have made many, and they still give me problems. To get the circle you must first glue the edges together. Then you kind of scrunch all the folds, while pushing toward the center to make the circle. It's a nightmare. I generally put a dab of hot glue down, make the circle, hold it with both hands and put the center into the hot glue, hold until the glue cools. Just type rosette how to in the search and you will get a million videos that can explain it better than I can.. haha Thanks for the video. Going over to watch Jen's now. Yay!

@BentleyHouseMinis 3 года назад

Oh thanks for the tip on that! I couldn't figure out how to get it to bend to my will lol!! So glad you liked the video! I know you will enjoy Jen's video too!

It is such a pleasure to see someone work so much with what's on hand. Right now, due to my crafts obsessions, my home looks like a hoarders house. Empty amazon boxes and packages all over. I always hate to toss them out, as I keep thinking there MUST be a use for them! Yay! Now I know! I love your channel, and just found your youtube channel as well as store. (of course I had to order even MORE stuff!) I'm mostly into 1:24 at this time, but I'm sure I'll be branching out more as I get braver!

Can we get a series out of this challenge? Cause I loved it so much. As someone without money and doesnt want to trash what could avoid a landfill by being repurposed I often make things out of what others consider trash. This was good inspiration for imagining possibilities. Thank you for making and sharing!
