Kiki's Magic update

I finally finished the furniture. All that gluing, I have as much on my fingers! So the furniture is supposed to look aged so I do not think I will paint, BUT the superglue leaves a whitish film. Maybe I should? This was a little challenging, especially the chair and the drawers. I miss my snap togethers. and @Jerry_Boswijk I made handles, yes wires, and I think they turned out ok.

If you look at the display case top left, you will see what I mean regarding super glue. Give me your opinion regarding painting?

Your handles turned out great!! :blush: Those are shelves and stuff, so I imagine they will have a bunch of props on them that will help cover up any glue showing. I think you’d be okay, not painting, if you don’t want to.

Thanks @Atropex
I am hoping! But if I need to touch up, I will

Your furnitures look great. And just like @Atropex said, the glue might be covered with other items on them so you may not need to paint them.

I love your furniture, it turned out great! :blush:

And yes like what @Atropex and @Jill_Francisco said it will most likely be covered up anyway. But depending on what glue you use, I always use a pair of sharp tweezer to sort of pick up any excess glue while it’s still soft. Like picking lint off clothes? I hope I make sense but it’s worked great for me so far!

Your furniture look great. They don’t need painted

That makes perfect sense! I think I decided to use super glue instead of my usual and it is making a mess

Wow. They are nicely build. It looks amazing.

Thanks @Tricia12 ! It is a little challenging because it is older version. Three times as much work!

You’re wire work is really good. I almost never use superglue. I use tacky glue and a small brush to apply a thin layer. Works great. Tacky glue is also white but when dry it turns clear.

@Jerry_Boswijk that is usually what I use but thought super glue would be easier with the furniture. Not!
back to tacky! I feel like the wire bending went a bit better this time, so will see! Thanks!!

Thank you!

I am hoping! Looking today, it does not look bad.

The furniture looks great @jeanneL! The details turned out really nice. If the super glue left a white film, a light coat of paint could help blend everything in, but only if you want a cleaner look. It already has a nice aged vibe as it is!!

WOW! Your handles look super nice! I don’t think I would be very good at those….and you already KNOW my opinions on painting…LOL! You just do what YOU would like to do!

It all trile and error sometimes

The handles looks great :star_struck: the rest of the little details too. Can you sand the glue rests off? By sanding you can give the furniture an old look :wink:

It looks great, your handles are awesome :ok_hand: I would do what liset said and lightly sand the glue if it bothers you! Good luck :heart_eyes:
