All caught up?!

Allo!

11 posts later and I’ve finally gotten caught up with all of those saved pics.

That was a lot!

Anyways, here are some more pics that are craftyesque!

I did not think about what I’d do with all those tiny things after making them…until I was done and they were taking up a good bit of horizontal space I couldn’t afford.

Thankfully, I did in fact keep the extra tiny bookshelves from the MiniBrands Books sets and was able to create this!

Using glue dots of all things! Why I didn’t think of that before is probably due to the fact they were packed up with my other craft supplies.

Out of sight, out of mind.

I didn’t paint it yet because I really just needed them out of the way for now and vertical is space saving for me. I may just leave them or paint them calypso blue like the fairy one from last year.

Sadly, Joanne Fabric stores are closing. However, they have several sales going on and I found these fantastic tiny bottles with a lidded case!!

I got 1 to start, incorrectly thinking it would be plenty of space.

Once I’d emptied all of the tiny extras into it, I went back and got more.

I actually went 3 times for these little suckers because they’re fantastic!!!

Reorganized into categories per container. This one’s regular food.
This one’s snack/sweet foods and ice.
This is the non-food one. Organized by fish, flora, misc, fiber and those tiny bag things.

The Miniverse Spa sets are tons of fun, but the end results (made specifically to be used in real life) like to crumble. This was an option to keep them safe.

The other option is to mix them with resin before molding and then cure them. The two green ones worked out pretty well actually. I coated the first yellow one, the one that’s shiny, but the resin was dissolving the powder and the shape got corroded.

I think mixing the resin into the mixture first is a better option, but I might try regular glue too. That might work even better to bind without needing to cure. I’m just not sure how to get it out of the mold if it sticks…

Ta for now!

Don’t forget to read your Bible! There’s some good stuff in there!
