✨ Welcome to The Little Mouse's House - a place where I document my miniature 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!

Some videos include the use of tools, materials, adhesives, small parts etc. that may not be suitable for all viewers. For safety reasons, these videos are not made for children, and adult supervision is always recommended when working on similar projects.

If you're trying a new skill or working with unfamiliar materials, always read the instructions and warnings carefully, and consult a qualified professional if you're unsure of how to proceed safely.

🌟 What's in today's video?
In this full-length, relaxing craft vlog, I show you how I made a miniature copper sink from scratch for my 1:12 scale industrial doll’s house kitchen, using recycled materials and simple tools.

This miniature sink may look like real copper, but it’s actually made from junk materials and painted to create a realistic metal effect. If you’re looking for ways to make miniatures from trash, or want to learn how I made plastic and clay look like aged metal, this diary-style video may be for you!

⚠️ Please don’t copy the techniques I used in this video. I experimented with materials and varnishes without being 100% sure that they’re safe to use together. I couldn’t find reliable information about compatibility between certain finishes and surfaces. This video a creative diary, not a tutorial, so please enjoy it for inspiration only, and stay safe if making your own miniatures! ✨🛠️

Follow along as I create this tiny industrial sink to match my modern dollhouse interior. This video is perfect for fans of:
• Miniatures from recycled items
• Faux metal finishes in dollhouse crafts
• Budget-friendly dollhouse DIY
• Miniature industrial kitchen designs

🪑A little bit of information about my doll's house:
I’m currently transforming this second hand doll’s house, which I bought from a charity shop at my local recycling centre, into a twelfth scale converted warehouse with a miniature modern art gallery below and a mid-century modern / scandi-style apartment above. I document each part of the makeover here on my YouTube channel - from an interior restructure to miniature furniture and accessories... I plan on trying to make it all! If you’d like to watch previous videos, please have a look at my playlist, where you can see the doll’s house makeover from the start!
