hi guys welcome back today I am doing a quick update on those little beds that I
posted just yesterday since I posted that I've had a couple of questions that
I thought I'd better answer in a video and then also I decided to make these
little tiny ones to show you that you can make any size that you want so these
are the three beds that I made today and these are the ones that I made yesterday
all right so one of the questions was can I use drywall instead of the wood
filler that you used in your video yesterday and the answer is absolutely
you can use drywall you can use clay if you want to the only issue I had with
drywall was the concern with the joints and I'm going to address that further
into this video that you're watching so I did use drywall on this bed here so
this is drywall and you can see worked out perfectly fine nothing wrong with
that at all wood filler was easier to use for these
little tiny ones so yes you can use drywall and then the other thing left
for me today was a friend of mine suggested that I tell you to measure out
your bed according to the dolls size and absolutely I had said that you can make
these any size that you want to make them I have a little mouse coming into
these ones here and I know there's going to be room left over if you're making
this for a particular doll make sure that you measure up the bed board
according to the size of your doll so you want to have a little bit of room
left over in the length and a little bit of room left over in the width all right
guys let's head into the update video so this is not a redo of yesterday's video
at all I'm just going to give you a couple of tips along the way and the
how-to videos should be up on your screen already it's that little circle
there it will also pop up on your screen at the end of this video before we get
started you don't have to choose the same shape that I've done here this is
just a simple shape that I put together because that was the look that I wanted
for my tree dollhouse you can do square corners you can do bed posts you can do
fancy shapes you can do whatever you want with this absolutely I just chose
something simple I wanted to pass along how I done it so you can get yourself so
that's made to all right let's head into that update right guys I'm just waiting
for some glue to set here so while I do that I don't know why I didn't tell you
this yesterday when you're making the headboard in the footboard
of course you want them to have the same shape so when you cut your headboard
when you get your shape that you want and it can be any size like I said any
width any height that you want make another
piece out of the same one okay so now that you have two pieces to make your
footboard just cut off the height and that way you don't have to be messing
around with with you you're trying to get just a shape right anyway there's a
little tip for you so now I'm making these little tiny ones and you can see
I'm using a McDonald's coffee box but because this bed is small I'm only gonna
cut two pieces for each side so yesterday when I showed you the
McDonald's coffee box for this bigger one I cut three for each side and the
bed board as well okay so and this little super tiny one
I just cut one so the thickness is also going to depend on how big your bed is
as well all right guys popping in with an edit
for these little tiny ones I used a coffee stir stick and I actually cut it
in half as well because it was too the width of it's too high for the bedpost
I found anyway you can do whatever you want of course with yours but I'm just
telling you what I did so you don't use a popsicle stick
I used a coffee stir stick for this one coffee stir stick for this one and this
one I used a popsicle stick and I didn't cut it down it's the same as the ones
that I made yesterday okay so we're gonna try this drywall compound drywall
compound is definitely an option
so these little guys here we're done with wood filler and I did two coats
just like I showed you in the video yesterday and the drywall I did the
first coat let it dry and then I did the second coat and let it dry and for all
three of them I used an emery board to sand on these little tiny ones oh it was
much easier than using actual sandpaper to get the emery board exactly where I
needed it to go this was ideal to use okay and the drywall sands super easy
so just be careful when you're doing that when you're sanding cuz it will
bring it down really fast all you got is you gotta just keep an eye and it's really easy to do
you don't have to worry about it just make sure that you're not taking down
parts that you don't want to like I said much easier to use an emery board
I have sanded down my drywall bed and the only issue like I said is if this
went to a small smaller child not a small small child because those little
people should be playing with like little tykes or something something that
they could bang around but an older child like say a six or seven year old
who maybe slams things down I'm not sure that would hold up the wood filler wood
absolutely you could bang this around all you want and I don't believe that
would fall apart but this one if you pull on the end boards it could separate
here I think so anyway I don't want to try it because you know I just I'd
rather keep it intact but that's the only issue other than that it's totally
fine and it works really well I've actually sculpted with drywall so I
want to show you something this I'm a Harry Potter fan and I made a wand a
couple of years ago and this is actually just a stick from my dad's property just
a regular maple stick and I I just whittled down the end to a point more of
a point and then this would be right here would be tinfoil and tape and then
paper towel over that now the only reason why I'm using paper towel over
the tape is because it gives me a nicer surface to sculpt on top of because I
know a lot of people think it's like you have to use the paper towel you don't
have to use it it's just a personal preference I like sculpting on top of
paper towel I like surface it gives me so this would be
tin foil tape paper towel and then drywall and I was able to do these
little bits in here with just using a little knife and then this part up here
of course is tinfoil again anything that's sticking out here would be a tin
foil tape and then paper towel and then I used my drywall over top that now
this is a super strong wand I could bang it around and it won't break nothing's
gonna happen to this nothing at all I'm not worried about that that could be
roughly played with the only thing I'm worried about
when using drywall is where you join pieces together like on this bed other
than that it's perfectly fine and it works wonderful I love it actually I
love sculpting with drywall I wouldn't suggest it if you're not used to it
because I mean it takes a lot of layers and you got a dry in between layers but
yeah doing basic things like this totally fine and it works wonderful it
now I'm gonna paint my bed's now I am painting my little beds in this one I
did put some crackle medium on it I didn't put too much I actually put a
very thin coat I just want to see what we're gonna get here and this is that
vintage chalk paint just called vintage I love it now I just put a very thin
layer and I don't know how this is gonna turn out because I haven't tried it yet
the thing with this crackle stuff you don't want to overwork it
now you can say you actually watched paint dry look at that
now you can make this look really amazing and that's why I sent you over
to Bentley House Minis because she does a really good job with this I tend
to overdo things like on my bed I'll show you my bigger one here on my bigger
bed with the same color so yesterday I had put a lot of that crackle medium and
I had really big cracks and it wasn't really the look I was going for so I
painted over certain parts again and sometimes three times like very lightly
to get rid of some of those cracks it's like you can't see I'm not an expert at
this stuff I just I do things until I like what I see all right I'm gonna
finish the painting these guys and then we'll come back and see what we got
there's a little tiny one I just went with white and then I tried to replicate
the chippy look that I got with this one yesterday and it's fun I didn't do
any crackle or anything I just painted it a cream color okay this one I'm gonna
measure out for you because I know you're gonna want to know that is
exactly an inch and I did not plan that out
that's hilarious okay that's an inch long half an inch wide and the tallest
headboard is just about 3/4 of an inch tall
alright guys that brings us to the end of this video and I'm sure there's gonna
be an update once I make the bedding I did try a little mattress for this one
all I did was just roll up material and glue it go it together and then I did
this one here but I kind of messed it up a little bit so I have to go back to the
drawing board on this one yeah so I'll probably be doing another update on
these little tiny ones and I'll make some bidding and some mattresses and all
that good stuff alright guys I hope you had fun and we'll see you super soon
