@JDisaduck yes I did paint the chairs…the yellow and brown one is what they looked like before I cut the legs down and painted them green and white.

@serenebliss_23 it really came in handy. My husband laughs at me because I’m always keeping an eye out for things that have miniature possibilities. Lol

Wow that is a huge build @Tkaplan! I love your work around for the broken pieces. I always feel proud of myself when I come up with a solution to a puzzle, hope you do too :smiling_face:. I can’t wait to see this come together. Have fun!

Yes, you have keen eyes. :laughing: That umbrella is cute. Did you paint the chairs after cutting their legs?

Oh, I’ve looked at that house a few times. It looks like a great build.
I really like that cutter. I’ve used it a few times now.
Well done on your workarounds! And you got to use your margarita umbrella!! Great job.

They look really natural! Did you paint using acrylic markers and was it easy to since the mini toys are plastic? :blush: I’m thinking of buying more. :weary_cat:

@serenebliss_23 yes I did. The brown and yellow chair is what they looked like before cutting them down and painting them.

@JDisaduck yes, I use acrylic brush markers for almost everything. They worked great in these chairs.

@serenebliss_23 that was the goal…I was happy that I had a paint marker that was the perfect color.

Oh you’ve painted that using a paint marker? I’ve never use that. You’ve painted the chairs so well and the colors’ combination turned out great as well. :pink_heart:

@serenebliss_23 yes. Specifically the brush tip markers. It’s easy and fast! I don’t like the dual tip ones, it seems like they run out of paint faster.

Is it also bleed like a normal markers do? I don’t try to use markers yet before since I think the inks gone fast with only using them on few projects.
