Luan Nguyen Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Hello every, I've attempted to make miniature dining table out of popsicle sticks and toothpicks. I'm a beginner so this YouTube clip is more like my learning experiences that I would like to share. Feel free to leave your feedbacks. Thank you. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bwS1e6VF8fA 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodentraiser Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 That's nice! How did you make the wood curve around the seats? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The popsicle sticks are actually quite soft, especially those are selling at Dollar Stores. You can soak them in water and they will become even softer and more flexible.

At first, I was thinking about decorating the table with miniature dinnerware sets but I didn't know how to make them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 Luan, it always takes me several tries to get my scratch-built chairs to sit even & level, and I have used the craft sticks laid side by side to make bars, wainscots and doors. Your table & chairs turned out very well! I found a set of flat buttons to use for dishes, and one larger, matching button to use as a platter for table sittings. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess you didn't notice that the chairs I made weren't level because of the camera angle . I had never thought of using flat buttons for dishes and it was a simple yet, great idea. I will definitely use it in the future Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myangela Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 Very nice! I sometimes use seamstress pins as nails to help the glue hold things together. If you snip off the head on the pin you can push the pin flush with the surface. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really like the idea of using pins as nails because I don't thing glue is strong enough for most of my future projects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My ools for that house were primarily my Stanley utility nife with retractable blade: and my sanding block. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
