Heat gun- I use mine to quickly dry paint, soften the glue to dismantle furniture and quickly cure polymer clay without an oven. Gets a lot hotter than a hair dryer.

I'm making a miniature kettle to accessorize my cardboard room box without using any clay. I couldn't find a tutorial on YouTube showing how to make a kettle using everyday objects so here you are! I made this kettle using a bead, paper, and wire but I give other ideas for materials as well.
Playlist of videos for this project in order:
1. Here's where you can learn how to make your own cardboard room box/shadow box in 1:12 scale:

The cardboard room box is only 3 inches deep but it looks deeper due to a forced perspective illusion. There's enough room for a fireplace, antique looking stove, a chair and lots of accessories. I made it using a damaged Home Depot box.

"Just as you can’t dispose of paint thinner by tossing it in the trash or pouring it down the drain, doing so with mineral spirits is also unsafe. There are a few key differences between mineral spirits and paint thinner, but the importance of following proper disposal procedures is common ground for both chemicals.
If poured down the drain, mineral spirits can potentially threaten local wildlife and groundwater. Likewise, you also shouldn’t put mineral spirits, or mineral spirits-soaked rags, in the trash can. Because they have a very low flash point, mineral spirits can cause a fire at temperatures as low as 104 degrees Fahrenheit.
You may not even need to worry about how to dispose of used mineral spirits. You can actually filter and reuse mineral spirits, eliminating the need to dispose of them altogether. After using mineral spirits for a project, place the used spirits into a clean glass jar. After some time, other substances, such as paint, that are mixed with the spirits will sink to the bottom, leaving pure mineral spirits at the top of the jar. You can then pour the mineral spirits out of the jar and into a separate clean jar for storage (be sure to seal and label the new jar)."
I have lots of projects planned ranging from abandoned miniatures, furniture makeovers, dioramas, accessories, kits and Dollhouse Miniatures in multiple scales. I also have a large Harry Potter build planned for 1" scale.
