Miniature cottage style bed 1:20 scale tutorial | Dollhouse Furniture

Hello, PLEASE READ for measurements (SCALE 1/20 AND 1/12) and tips :D

MEASUREMENTS SCALE 1/20:
legs: 1.8 cm / 0.4 in
length: 10.4 cm / 3.9 in
width: 4.7 cm / 1.9 in
total height: 4.1 cm / 1.6 in

MEASUREMENTS SCALE 1/12:
legs: 3 cm / 1.2 in
length: 17.3 cm / 6.8 in
width: 7.8 cm / 3.1 in
total height: 6.8 cm / 2.7 in

TIPS:
- If you want the duvet to drape naturally, you can either sew in two wires inside the duvet and then shape them accordingly or attach two ribbons on either side of the duvet and tie them underneath the bed, this way the duvet will fold nicely (that's what I did for the final shots :D).
- Use cotton for the linens, I used polyester and it frayed a lot, which made it difficult to sew.
- Try to upcycle as much as you can :) I used skewers, ice cream sticks and toothpicks for this project and painted it with acrylic paint. For the upper parts I used wooden beads. For the duvet, pillow and sheets I used some polyester I had on hand as well as a piece of lace from an old damaged shirt. I filled the mattress and pillow with a piece of foam (I think it was a filler for something else that came in the mail).
- Not shown in the video, but I trimmed the edges of the pillow when it was on the wrong side, before turning it over - it makes the edges look nicer. Also this is not the best way to sew a mattress, I recommend pinching the edges and sewing a small vertical line on each edge before turning it to the right side :) I didn't do it due to a lot of fraying.
