 We just made these three little tiny houses that we're gonna bring to a workshop where we can't use any tools and we'll show you how we did it right now. What is up? A welcome back. Doing to do a builder to make it so do we and we have a new video each week. This week we're back into the tiny house game. We're building more tiny houses but not for the prairie for home decor reasons. So last week we did our round our front door round with our tiny bird houses. This week I want to do some home decor houses. They're just little houses they're not bird houses this time and they're going to be standing for a tabletop decor and I'm doing this for a workshop we have coming up so for this workshop we we didn't want to bring a round we wanted to bring a home decor item but we didn't want to do a farmhouse build we didn't want to actually use power tools and build a frame so we're gonna do the a version of the tiny houses that we did last year this is what I was talking about last week but we're gonna do this with no tools. No tools well well we have to use tools but no tools to the end and the builder. Well for a workshop yeah for the workshop attendee or the workshop participant it will be a no tools project for them. Thank you. Yes. Step one we're gonna make our design well we already made our design and we did our prototyping but we got a lot of questions last week about how I made those little tiny houses and this design is pretty easy so I'm gonna slow it down go step by step on exactly how I made these houses this week. Alright back over to Illustrator that's my graphics go to especially when I make an SVGs I'm just gonna open a regular template this is my go-to template and we're gonna double click on fill let's pick a brownish color. That's a good brown. Alright over to the rectangle tool and then we're gonna hold shift and we're gonna draw a uniform box right over to properties to get here you would go to Windows properties my property window box is open. We're gonna make this before we do that let's make sure the maintain width and height proportions is clicked. Alright over to the selection tool we're gonna Ctrl C copy Ctrl V paste now we're gonna come over here to one of the nodes on the corner and then we get the little rotation cursor we're gonna hold shift and we're gonna click it 45 degrees. Holding shift makes it snap on every 45s. Now let's drag it up into place back over to properties let's make it 10 inches wide. We're gonna drag it up in place and I'll snap in the intersection and if it's not snapping you can come up to the view down at the bottom snap to point. We're gonna select the bottom one and the top one by holding shift then we're gonna go to a window pathfinder and we're gonna unite these. Now it's all one object. Alright so our house is done let's make some roof pieces back over to the rectangle tool. We're just gonna draw some kind of rectangle and go over to the properties we're gonna make this 0.24 it's quarter inch ish that's what my MDF is we'll unselect maintain width and height and then we'll make the height like 8 inches we'll see what that is. Copy control C paste control V back over to the selection tool we're gonna move this over to this side of the house come up to one of the nodes get that rotate cursor hold shift snap it on the 45 let's do the other one shift snap it on the 45 let's move them into place now one is going to be the top piece of the roof and the other one's gonna be the quote-unquote bottom piece of the roof. Alright we'll just use our arrow tools to scooch it up a place control space bar we'll give us the magnifying glass click all right it looks like it's pretty good all right let's back back out control space bar alt we'll zoom out click all right now let's draw an alignment box to make sure the roof is aligned so rectangle tool we're gonna draw a little box back over to the selection tool we're gonna drag this box up to the bottom of this left side over here and then we'll come over here to the right side and we'll select the right side of the roof then we'll go up to the direct selection tool or control A now let's zoom in so control space bar now with the direction selection tool we're gonna select one of the nodes then hold shift select another node now let go of shift and start to drag it click it and start to drag it now we're gonna hold shift again which will snap it back to its original angle now let go click all right it's all aligned there they're even right pretty good zoom out control space bar alt click oops all right let's move this little alignment box out of the way and then we'll move the roof over here with roof pieces we'll get the rotate cursor hold shift snap it vertical let's do the other one snap it right we'll select one go over to properties make sure the maintain width and height proportions is off and we're gonna make this roof 1.25 inches inch and a quarter this roof is gonna lay flat we don't want it little sticks we want it to look like a roof so we'll make both pieces 1.25 inches one and a quarter all right let's good let's give this thing a base so remember that alignment box well now it's a base so let's go over to the properties we'll just say 11 inches wide and 3 inches tall let's control see copy control v-paste grab this one line up down here with the other one and we'll make this one as wide as the house this will be the slot that the house will slide into so we'll make this 10 inches wide and then our MDF is 0.24 inches wide we'll select both boxes holding shift or just drag your cursor over and select both center center alright that's base but you know what I want to make sure it stands straight up so I'm gonna go back to my rectangle tool make another rectangle but this is gonna be a one inch by one inch rectangle so hold shift about an inch go to properties maintain width and height proportions we'll say one inch I'm gonna make this the little tab that will go in the back and kind of hold it upright so let's select it again control seed copy control v to paste we gotta make a slot for this thing going so it's gonna be like a T so we'll line it up at the bottom of the slot for the house over to properties unselect maintain width and height proportions and we'll make this 0.24 quarter inch alright let's select them all make sure they're aligned center deselect it grab just the little slot for the little T slot and make sure it snaps up against the bottom slot for the house and we'll select them all and we'll control G to group it or object group alright base is done it's looking a little bland though so let's give it a saying so one of the sayings it can pick that I already have an SVG so drag this SVG over it opens in a new window control a to select everything let's group it before we copy it over so control G to group it now control C to copy back over to our original tab control V to paste and before we do anything let's go ahead and check the maintained width and height proportions and we'll make this nine inches wide all right let's drag it into place we'll select that in the house and we'll center it already centered I'm good let's select it again control C to copy control V to paste drag this over here now we're gonna make these over here on the left that's our words that's gonna pop off the sign and really make it stand out so lose the fill so the fill is none and then we'll give it a stroke of red that's gonna be cut we'll select the house we'll give this a fill of none and a stroke of red for cut we'll select the words inside the house and we'll give this a fill of none and this gets a stroke of blue that's gonna be our score so I don't have to guess where I'm gonna put all these little letters I'm gonna score it so I'll know where to put them alright let's select the other pieces no fill and we'll give them a red stroke reds always my cut stroke alright still looking a little plain up here it needs a window or something so back over to our rectangle tool let's select a brown color to give it a fill so much is back to a brown color let's draw a rectangle in the shape ish of a window over to the rectangle tool we're gonna hold down the little corner to select our ellipse tool we're gonna hold the shift key to draw a uniform circle all right selection tool let's check the properties means maintain width and height we'll make this 1.5 inches wide and then now let's make this rectangle point five inches wide we'll drag the circle until it intersects and snaps select them both we'll go to window path finder unite looks like a boring window though so let's go over to our ellipse tool we'll hold it down to get our rectangle tool or control M we're gonna draw a little rectangle down the middle thank you use our selection tool then we'll copy paste drag it up turn it to the side boop boop holding shift they'll stop on the 45 so we'll stop at 90 I'm just making a window pane so somewhere in the middle copy paste control C control V somewhere in here those look like good window panes all right we'll select all of these little cross pieces and then we're gonna go back to the path finder window and we'll unite these make some all one piece now we'll select that back arch also and come back to the path finder window and now we're gonna do a minus front boom well hold on control Z control Z everything's ungrouped we'll select it all make sure it's center okay now we'll select the three pieces again select these three pieces back the fact path finder window unite now we're gonna select the arch also now minus front now we get a window well it's still selected let's lose the fill make sure it has a red stroke all right now it should be grouped that's grouped now let's select all of it select all of it the line center looks good control G to group it control G all right there's our house done and done we'll export this as an SVG we'll just call this chaos house chaos house export okay let's jump over to clove forge we're gonna create upload from file select chaos house fam it's in there let's zoom out we're selecting thick draft board because we're using quarter inch MDF now this part right here we're gonna select this layer and make this layer a score they can't really tell so let's control A to select everything you can hold shift here also and it'll stop on the 45s boom slide it up into place all right looks good see it's got the score it's got the cuts gonna cut a little window score the words cut the words over here let me go turn this thing on this thing isn't even online step two we're gonna gather all of our supplies they're all right here you just needed some quarter-inch MDF some paint stain and glue this is the star bond glue we like the gel stuff this is a thick pretty good but medium works well to 15 seconds good to go that is my favorite glue so far quick and painless will not painless I get it on my fingers a lot and we're gonna use a pretty easy color scheme with our country chic paints here we're gonna use licorice and crinoline and then I'm gonna do for it so that one house is gonna be black one house is gonna be white and then the third house I want to add a little color Garrett's trying to make it yeah hot pink and I was like that's not what we're doing we're trying to keep with the farmhouse theme so we're gonna use a little technique where we're gonna lay down some cobblestone and do a topcoat of nightfall which is a gray and so again it's gonna keep with a kind of that farmhouse muted color scheme and so we'll show you this technique when we get there I think the third house should actually be a glow in the dark I'm sure you do think that and then we're gonna show us something we haven't done before is how to use stain on MDF well there's no new technique there but you wouldn't typically think you can use stain on MDF but you can and it looks great so I'm gonna again try and keep that same farmhouse some tiny house look but using it the MDF and the stain stain use the unicorn spit and make it pop yeah now you want to make it glitter and red and my glitter lose it's got a stand out he just loves all that he loves bright colors I miss the eighties step three we're gonna make all of our cuts I'm gonna take the quarter-inch MDF over to the glow forge pop it in pop out some three tiny houses I'll be right back now we paint like I said these are gonna be pretty simple we're gonna do one with a base of black one with a base of white and one actually I think I'm gonna do this one's gonna be white and the medium-sized one it's going to have that two-layer cobblestone and nightfall that like rustic look yes I'm trying to keep the farmhouse colors Garrett this isn't going to be your margarita Ville set hey my little town would be a party town true true all right and I thought maybe you could start with just staining you got gloves over there yeah we're gonna use this varathane wood stain and Roanoke and you can just stain all the roofs and the bases with this the stain okay should be pretty simple I'm the stainer you're the painter be the stainer be the stainer be the stain let me help let me hold this up first because I want you to see like I almost don't want to paint it because I'm loving this cobblestone so we used I love this color I don't think I've used it before but I love it with the black and the white but like I said I said I was gonna use nightfall so we're gonna give it a top coat of the blue and just have the cobblestone peek through all right so we're just gonna use a dry brush technique you want some short bristles stiff bristles and I'm gonna jam around on a table kind of spread them out make it all messed up so don't use a new brush that looks good there's a lot of yellow in it yeah I just a lot of yellow so this brush is not new I got my brush all crusty-looking we go inside once yep I want swipes just gently wet and it rest on the on the board I'm not putting any pressure it's just the pressure from the brush now we assemble we're gonna use this star bond super glue stuff it's like 15 seconds and it's there forever all right we'll start with the easy one first we'll start with the big one the big HME we can barely see the score marks but it's plenty for just trying to lay down are we gonna glue it in the base yeah I mean I don't think we're gonna take it back apart again it's meant to be that way we'll just slide it in the base with the little thing behind here well we should paint the back black but we won't do that for now yeah all right so one of these roof pieces is like a quarter inch bigger than the other piece because they're a quarter inch thick so that's the top we're just gonna glue it like this do you think they'd be easy enough to bring to the craft workshop and knock them out in two hours with some socializing yeah definitely yeah definitely you can do it if you only did two of them it would be even less time this was really quick and easy project it was totally easy did you guys enjoy the illustrator tutorial do you want
