hello i took a trip to the dollar store to visit poopy's family
make sure they're not asking questions
while i was there i decided to take a look around see if i could find some other cool
stuff to do a dollar store makeover with there's a lot of stuff at the dollar store
most of it's junk to be honest but if you look close enough sometimes you could find some
treasures hidden amongst the cash other times you just gotta take the junk and be creative with it
this is one of those times i did manage to find some creepy squishies with double chins
little red riding hood made a yellow poop you should probably get that checked out
i honestly have no idea what to turn these into so i'll have to save this poop for some other time
instead today we'll be working with these marble stone things
that's exciting and i also found this little cute dollhouse which i thought was just too
cute come play with us and it needed to be turned evil
i've given tons of dolls makeovers but i've never given a doll house a makeover so this
will be interesting so first things first i opened up a bag of marbles
there's a ton in here but they're not in the best shape so really there's none in here
that's all right we're on a budget this is a dollar store makeover
you take what you can get alright cool gonna set these aside for now we'll bring them back in a
minute i then took out my sketchbook and traced 10 circles i chose to do 10 of them i felt like
10's a good number in each of these circles there's going to be the face of one of my
original characters super evil stuff i decided to doodle them this way you could do digital
art if you want it's whatever you want really digital art is cool and all but nothing beats
nothing even comes close i'm not really concerned about the doodles being perfect it's not about
perfection i'll be shrinking them down anyway i'm planning on turning these marbles into magnets i
thought they'd make some cool bubbly magnets this one is sniffledorf the sculpture kinda confusing
since i named my new kitten sniffledorf as well and they're both black but they look slightly
different if you don't know who i'm talking about this is sniffledorf hi sniffles where's my poof
you wanna kill me don't you the kitten i summoned while working on nerdcrafter's
craft kit it was magical and stuff i gotta measure the diameter of the marble things
obviously measuring these is not the most consistent measurement since all the marbles
are a little bit different but it's just a rough estimate it doesn't have to be exact just close
enough i transferred them onto the computer and scaled them down to the size of marbles i printed
them out on some regular computer paper nothing fancy here i then traced the marble around them
and cut out the circles once that was done i put a little bit of mod podge on the back of the marble
the flat side and then i just stuck the paper on there i just repeated that process for all of them
trying my best to just keep the marbles and paper aligned as best as i could whenever i had some
excess paper hanging off the end i just chopped that right off time to pull out the pizza tray
so
since this little pizza tray is metal i figured it would be perfect for a little magnet board
i was planning on using the front of this magnet tray and covering it with this black
poster paper things didn't really go as planned i wasn't able to cut out a perfect
circle and it just didn't look right a little disappointing but it's okay change of plans i
flipped it over to the other side this is the good side that's not messed up so it's
what i'll be using the marbles obviously need a magnet backing to stick to the metal tray
obviously they wouldn't be magnetic without magnets on them so i hot glued those on
and now they're ready to go i spent a little while making a bunch more magnets
just the same characters repeated since i already had them printed out and i didn't
want them to go to waste you can honestly make magnets of whatever you want magazine clippings
newspapers photos of you and your family whatever you want really
instead of sticking on a magnet you could even stick on a pin back and turn it into
a pin they're very customizable okay moving on here's the little doll house
i thought it might be cool to turn this into like a haunted house of sorts just something to make
it look a little more dark and a little less like this though now that i'm taking a closer
look at it it does look a little unsettling i kept getting the feeling that someone was watching me
if you're new here and you've ever watched a youtube video before you should consider selling
your soul to me by subscribing to my channel and ringing that bell thing so you don't lose me on
the internet i post new videos every friday there's no back to the dollhouse you're just
supposed to stuff these little purple people and things in there and just kind of play with it from
the back i guess i don't know i've never gotten one of these before i'm not entirely sure why
everything is purple it's a little too much purple even for me but i guess it saves on ink maybe
or maybe it's like one of those things where you paint on it yourself i don't know i tried
to arrange some furniture in there but it just wasn't my aesthetic so scratch that we're just
gonna throw everything out i've seen videos where people make teeny tiny furniture and super small
houses and things but yeah this isn't gonna be one of those videos normally i like to work with clay
or epoxy and sculpt on these kinds of things but today is going to be a little different i realize
not everyone has clay and not everyone wants to work with clay so today i thought i might try my
hand at adding to this house with cardboard and poster paper instead so first things first i got
a po box it's just a cardboard box you could get at the post office for free or at least i steal
them for free i'm going to cut this up to size i wanted to turn it into a two-story house although
looking back i guess it's already a two-story house i just wanted to make it taller all the
haunted houses i've been to are always really tall so that's what i'm going for and then i cut
another rectangle up it doesn't look like much yet but it's going to be the top roof there's already
a roof on the house but since i added a story it now needs another roof now it has two roofs
i really like the shape of the windows on this house it's very classic rather than like the
boxy modern windows that you usually see so i'm cutting in some of those here and there it's
not easy cutting them out of cardboard they're not going to be perfect but i guess that fits with the
whole rundown look of an old haunted house i stuck both of the houses together and now it's a mansion
but it's still not haunting enough it needs something extra i saved up some paper towel
rolls for the towers i wanted on both sides of this haunted house giving it that more old
castley princess in distress kind of look i think i thought witch's hats would make perfect toppers
for him so i rolled up some domes using the failed black poster board i had tried using earlier the
windows don't open but just in case i boarded them shut wouldn't want anything getting out
all we need to do is guard the entire back half clearly the tower doesn't have
enough windows to board shut so i added some more and then boarded them up too
if that didn't make sense just wait till you see the fence i added on the roof whatever's
inside that house isn't getting out i made sure of it finally it was time to paint
i pulled out some very very light gray paint i don't know why everything looks white on camera
but it's more gray in real life you'll just have to take my word for it i was going for a gray
and black look but it wasn't looking ominous enough so scratch that we're just gonna throw
everything out just kidding i just went over it all with black paint i've got some clear
gift wrap i picked out an orange one the way i say orange apparently really bothers some of you guys
i didn't want you guys to be so uncomfortable with my american accent so i've been practicing
orange i hope that puts your ears at ease orange orange
so i'm adding this gift wrap to the back of the house basically behind each window i wanted it to
look like when you shine a light through the back of the house that there's an orange color coming
through that way it looks a bit more spooky i could have just inserted orange lights in
the back but i didn't have those on hand so this will do the trick falling on a budget more kids
don't tear it i had to add a couple layers of the gift wrap in order to make it a deeper
orange orange the backs looking a bit disheveled but you're not really gonna see the back anyway
it's more for decor the orange and black is making it look a bit more halloweeny than
i usually go for but i figured since we're approaching halloween it's close enough to
spooky season it was a bit difficult getting the gift wrap in there so it doesn't look perfect
but then again it's supposed to look run down and as with more than a couple of my things
if you keep your six foot distance and you turn off the lights it doesn't look half bad
some of you guys wanted me to make a box condo for sniffledorf mayor of boxville so
here you go sniffledorf your own box mansion it's running a little small perhaps i'll have
to upgrade it at some point but i figured for now i'd just make a little mini sniffledorf to
go with the house i just real quick sculpted him out of epoxy i'm going for a flat little
pusheen kind of cat look it's supposed to be sniffledorf the actual kitten not
the sculpture this time so i gave him a tuxedo always dressed to the nines
do you want me to lock you in the house with the purple twins the purple twins are getting hungry
