OKAY LETS DO THIS
ali makes a miniature flower shop: a thread

hi hello this is what happiness looks like

floor!
but also.
OH MY GOD I WONT HAVE ENOUGH GLUE
WE DONT KNOW WHERE THE BIG GLUE WENT
this means ill have to stop when i run out tonight huhuhu

hmmm foundation!
the music box... doesnt work? or it does. it just doesnt wind up properly? nvm i dont really mind it. i just put it there anyway to fill the hole for it lmao

*screams* I WANNA PUT U TOGETHER WHY DID I RUN OUT OF GLUE
OF ALL THE NIGHTS.....

its 1 am and i really cant find the Big Glue anywhere fhshahakHdhsjaka guess i'll just continue this tomorrow siiiiigh

SIKE THERE WAS ENOUGH GLUE
(just enough to put these together and *now* it's all squeezed out hahaha) ok i will stop now for realsies

GOT EM.
two (2) 7-11's & 1 ministop i only got the glue stick then i saw a Fruitas so ofc i brought mango melon shake. then got to a hardware store that tells me this WHITE GLUE is Super Sticky all in fonts i could name at the top of my head so im sure it is. maybe.

this elmer's glue shortage devastated me more than the yakult shortage.

tiny doors with tiny handles
tiny counter
tiny watering can
tiny.... idk what it is i'm just following the instructions

*cries in flower*

building the wooden pieces first bc the tiny dried flowers are tricky and messy to work with and also i am afraid of them lmao
ANYWAYS. TINY BIRDHOUSE.

i really like this here tiny thing tho

heck yeaaah the plants have started to appear!
this is a good stopping point, so-
to be continued!

bc a lot of you asked: this kit is from chinese company CUTEBEE! my friend ordered from their Shopee PH store but they have official accounts in here too:
Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/s?me=AD4DUKYOK9II1
AliExpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/store/1519023 
...or just search "Cutebee Dollhouse"

there are lots of other kits both smaller and bigger than this one, so choose what works for you!

...and for the curious, here's my thread for the spinning music box dollhouse i did last year: https://twitter.com/_artsy_alice/status/1163837131313143808

worth noting: another international brand is Robotime, so y'all could also try searching for that. afaik their kits are simpler & their pieces are slightly bigger and thus more beginner-friendly. i think they're a wee bit pricier tho.

ok that's it! more tiny plants tomorrow!

ok so picking up from last time -
LOOK AT IT, FRIENDS
THAT TROWEL
THAT TROWEL GAVE ME GRIEF
(its ugly thats why it is partially hidden)
(also i had to google what a small shovel is called)

...but besides that bebi shovel... i also finished a bunch of plants!
(im not even halfway there. there are more plants. this kit is so extra. i hate it. but also all the effort is looking worth it so far & ITS SUPER FUN )
bed now, tmr is a good saturday to make more plants!

today's update: oh god OH GOD I MADE A FUCKTON OF TINY LIL PLANT STUFF IM GONNA DIE
theres a few more to go and then im gonna make the light stuff and THEN we are putting em together aaaaaaaaa
