✨ Welcome to The Little Mouse's House - a place where I document my miniaure makes and other arty things! 🛠️🎨 Please note, my videos are a personal record of my creative process and are not intended as tutorials or professional guidance. I'm not an expert - just someone who enjoys working on miniature projects and sharing the journey with you!

I hope that you enjoy watching today's video, and please let me know what you think in the comments. It would be lovely to hear from you. ☺️ 🌟 What's in today's video? Welcome to Part 31 of my doll’s house makeover series! In this video, I’m hand-building a miniature 1:12 scale dollhouse kitchen completely from scratch using wood. This tiny kitchen includes working hinged cabinet doors, mini brass knobs, and a balanced design that’s neither ultra-modern nor old-fashioned.. just well-loved and hopefully full of character for an industrial style! If you enjoy watching relaxing miniature builds, dollhouse furniture making (that doesn’t always go to plan!), or detailed DIY woodcraft projects, this is hopefully the video for you. ☺️ I walk through each step of the build, showing how I bring this tiny kitchen to life, one handcrafted piece at a time. 🕰️ Timestamps: 00:00 – Introduction to today’s relaxing miniature woodwork project. 00:59 – Measuring & converting to 1:12 scale (in cm & mm) & planning the kitchen layout. 05:05 – Best glue for building miniatures? 06:33 – Discussing safety tips for cutting miniature wood & using tools. 08:06 – Mini kitchen layout diagram, cut list & scale check. 11:46 – Gluing the mini kitchen units (UHU Twist & Glue demo). 14:06 – Making miniature kitchen plinths. 14:14 – Tea break & chat: best miniature kitchen worktops – laminate, compact laminate, wood or quartz? 15:32 – Fixing a measurement mistake. 17:06 – Building miniature kitchen cabinet doors. 19:20 – Testing DIY miniature hinge techniques. 22:35 – Checking hinged doors + first draft of kitchen worktop. 23:59 – Smoothing edges with filler, sanding & filing. 25:11 – Priming mini kitchen doors & cabinets. 25:44 – Quick update: my art, greeting cards & pet portrait business. 26:57 – Fixing broken cabinet doors. 27:30 – Adding detail: shaker or tongue & groove panel ideas. 29:29 – Painting the mini kitchen units. 31:06 – Distressing paint for an industrial-style finish. 31:51 – Making tiny brass door handles. 32:35 – Choosing materials for the miniature worktop. 33:44 – Placing the finished mini kitchen into the doll’s house apartment 📏 Scale: 1:12 🎨 Materials used: Plywood Balsa wood UHU glue Craft split pins Primer / base coat paint Satin paint Multipurpose filler ⚒️ Equipment and tools used: Stanley kn.
