Heat gun- I use mine to quickly dry paint, soften the glue to dismantle furniture and quickly cure polymer clay without an oven. Gets a lot hotter than a hair dryer.

Learn how to make miniature "glass" jars with simple everyday items. I used hot glue sticks, paper fasteners, colored pencils, buttons, paper, and string. Decorating the jars was a lot of fun.

This isn't the file I used, but I really like the variety offered and the "lids" that are included.

I can't find the files I bought on Etsy. I don't see a record of it in my purchases, and I can't find them by searching. It's possible the seller deleted the listing. The files weren't in 1:12 scale when I printed them. They printed "too big" (and I used those labels for the larger jars). I had to print them again and make my best guess about what size they should be. I printed them at 55%.

I have lots of projects planned ranging from scratch made accessories, abandoned miniatures, furniture makeovers, accessories, kits and Dollhouse Miniatures in multiple scales. I also have a large Harry Potter build planned for 1" scale.

    The coupon section of the Sunday newspaper can provide product images, which can be cut to use as labels. The coupons usually feature a small photo of the product, and if you don't plan on using the coupon to save money on your groceries, or if they are already expired, you might as well put them to good use for your miniatures.

    Not only are you incredibly talented but as a viewer, it was so refreshing to watch a calm, straightforward tutorial that's not followed with the usual trumpet blowing accolade that many feel pressured to add. I loved this & you've gained another subscriber 👍🙂
  • I love the realism of keeping a bit of the jar empty. Canned foods always need to have that space to be safely processed; it's called "head space."
  • @StickyRice43
    The fact that you had soo many options that I couldn't make up an excuse for me to not do it out of laziness 😆 These are too freaking cute not to make!!
  • @suecox2308
    Your ingenuity is a constant surprise--these jars and labels are wonderful.
  • @tracememory
    these are incredible and nostalgic, you've brought back the energy of the crafting era of youtube i been craving since the late 2000s - early 2010s
  • “And then I did some research” killed me. I love your quiet humor, and your inventiveness!
  • "I added an 'S' to the end, so don't sue me." That made me chuckle. You're priceless!❤😊❤ Nice work, too! I'm inspired!
  • @maggiefox10
    I make miniatures of different kinds, but I never thought of using a glue stick for a jar. Excellent tutorial. Thank you.
  • @amandaw5993
    "...and then I did a bit of research and mixed up a new color." Your dry delivery of the little jokes cracks me up lol
  • You clever girl! The jars are adorable and perfect to place on shelves or fill a pantry.❤🍑🍒🫐🍊🍇
  • @bitchette
    I will probably never make miniatures... but I love your video. No music, a calm and soothing voice, you explain and show all the techniques and options, this is perfect ❤
  • @debbieandmarc
    I don't know why these miniatures are so fascinating. ❤
  • @moi5219
    This video is a gift. Instead of spending money on things I can’t afford i am so excited to make things with stuff that has been lying around the house since I don’t know when. Also, just want to say besides how creative you are, I enjoy your sense of humor! Thank you!

    I wasn't going to watch this but the sheer curiosity of how anyone could make those little things so cool really caught me. AMAZING JOB!
  • I’m not sure why this video was suggested to me but I’m so happy it was. I don’t even make doll house stuff but these are so ingenious and fun that I thoroughly enjoyed watching!
  • @GuessImHereNow
    I didn’t know I wasn’t the only one who uses nail polish for some of my crafts! The jars are so cute
  • You are a genius ! Thank you for sharing your creativity with us !
  • Thanks for sharing. I love them. By the way, my hands too are nothing to marvel at. Strictly utilitarian.
