Hello everyone! In this video, I customize a 1/12 miniature laser cut wood dollhouse kit to make a butterfly collector’s cottage. I love DIY miniature room boxes of libraries and study rooms, so I’m really excited to share this collector’s cottage!

Unintentional ASMR—Use headphones if you want to listen closely to the sounds of cutting, sanding, and painting!

Sit with me and watch the past few months’ work as I build this diorama ♥
