DIY Miniature

I love DIYs but the thing is I'm too uncreative to come up with stuff of my own, so I resort to DIY kits like these. I also like to finish these DIYs in one seating because of the lack of patience and the fear of losing the tiny parts so normally I take about 5 hours to finish one of these. In the past I think I've finished around 5/6 of these.

What the kits look like.

So what you do is you use the scraps they provide and use glue to build the "furniture".

Start by putting together the tiny stuff.

Getting glue all over my fingers... not cool. But I know it will be worth it. What's worse than putting together the small stuff? Screwing the frame to the box thing.

& what's even more tedious than that? Installing the lights.

...while silently praying the lights will work when I put the batteries in.


DIY-Prep4
Putting the small stuff on the bigger ones.


DIY-Prep5
The tiny items on the mini shelf are as big as my finger nails. At one point I felt my patience running out.

Piecing everything together.

I couldn't find any spare batteries around the house so I had to wait for mum to be back with some... AND IT WORKS :D guess studying living skills for PMR didn't go to waste.
