HUGE Miniature Haul from Temu • DIY Dollhouse Kits & 1:12 Accessories

*Not sponsored. I spent my own money.

Wow! I am really happy with my experience shopping for minis from Temu. I included the price of each item in the video, but some of the items had become cheaper since I purchased them. I went into the app and clicked the "request price adjustment" option, and my account was automatically credited the difference ($13 in total). You can get a credit to your account if the price drops within 30 days of purchase, but it isn't automatic. You need to request it. I didn't realize this policy exists until after I exported the video, so I didn't mention it.

Shopping Tip: PAY ATTENTION to the size of the item and the quantity you're buying. Temu shows photos of measurements, or includes the dimensions in the description (or both). The quantity is also specified. I wasn't paying enough attention and was surprised by the size and quantity a couple times.

The dollhouse kits I bought are 1:24 scale, half the size of 1:12. The metal tin kit is smaller.

The overall quality of the items I received was great. I'll be buying from Temu again.

*I wiped my tools and minis down with sanitizing wipes to remove any chemicals from production and germs from being handled by various people throughout the manufacturing and shipping process.

Heat gun- I use mine to quickly dry paint, soften the glue to dismantle furniture and quickly cure polymer clay without an oven. Gets a lot hotter than a hair dryer.

Craft heat gun that doesn't get as hot as mine

I have lots of projects planned ranging from abandoned miniatures, furniture makeovers, accessories, kits and Dollhouse Miniatures in multiple scales. I also have a large Harry Potter build planned for 1" scale.

Your crockpot is actually a rice maker. The white scoop is traditionally sold with every rice maker. You’ve got a great haul.”If you have Barbie’s who drink, this is a good deal” except that the one bottle looks exactly like aged soy sauce and one looks like Worcestershire. Now that’s what I call a drinking problem!

I just found your site recently. I am. It really into miniatures but I have watched my daughter, over the years, turn loose end and bits into amazing scenes and vignettes. She didn’t have many dollhouse sites listed in her subscription but yours was one of the few she visited often.
She passed away last January. She was an avid miniaturist collected. I’m sure she found your
videos, about purchasing from vendors are clear, incisive and informative. There are no ugly surprises when one goes to purchase miniatures from a site. You list prices and your opinion of the quality of the item. The latter is especially helpful, or was to Lucy.

With the antique iron they used to take a rectangular part out of the back and heat it over a fire to get it hot. They'd then insert it into the iron to make the iron hot to use. LOVE your haul, can't wait to see what you do with them!

[rachaelyeolim]

Think the fancy iron is an antique iron where hot coals were placed inside to make the iron hot. That explains the hinge and the top part to open up to add coals inside.

Hi Shyra. Great video. You have such a natural sense of humor. It makes me laugh. Thank you for sharing this haul. You found some fun things.

The silvery tool that came with the green cutting mat (and of which you also ordered an extra one) is called a Vernier caliper. It's used to make very accurate measurements of the outside aspect of an object. It's benefit is that it minimises error to half the unit of scale and is used in laboratories and situations where accuracy is key.

I've only recently discovered your channel, but your work is INSPIRING and so is your level of patience. Thanks so much for sharing what you do. Even if I never make any of the ideas in my head, it's been fun planning and having lessons from you. XX

Oh wow! I didn't even see the bamboo skewers when I ordered! Tiny key hole minis and I think the iron will open, it's just stuck from being dipped. She's going to heat it and try to open it. Hot rocks were also used in those irons to make them hot. Coal would sometimes leave black marks and pop out cinders, making holes in the sheets. I LOVE TEMU! Ive made 4 orders in the past 4 months! The taller bottles could be used as wine bottles. Bead caps are great for lamp bases, fineals, spacers, just a few i can remember right now. I love the quality, it's really surprisingly shocking especially when you consider the price. Awesone video and unboxing!! 25:12

Haha I am with you on cutting things out... I would rather sand something than cut a bunch of stuff out (and I hate sanding)! I look forward to seeing how you change up some of these like the sewing machine you mentioned!

[jessiescreations]

I know nothing about miniature, just stumbled on your channel and got intrigued. Truly amazing

[arsinowey]

Such an amazing haul !! I've had a cart stuffed with so many things I've been wanting to get, but I was hesitant to put out the money and get a bunch of trashy items !! Seeing everything you've gotten gave me the courage and I'm sorting through all of the items checking out the sizes and making sure that everything is the correct Now I can't wait to get everything !! I'm gonna try one of those kits and I'm going to make it mine ! And I agree with the paper flooring, I'm going to make a real wooden floor !! Thank you for your time showing and explaining everything I really appreciate your help and information !!

[papabear]

I appreciate seeing this haul! Temu is “hard to resist” as their prices are so good! You’re right - checking details, quantity, etc before ordering is key …but enthusiasm gets in (my) way at times. Haha. I purchased the orange juice pitcher and glasses and was happy with those for my house. Looking forward to seeing what you do with all of the items! Thanks much, Kathleen

The irons at that time used coals to heat the metal plate. One opened the hinge, slid little coals in and tried not to burn your fingers as you flattened your sheets.

[cheryl]

I like these Temu hauls, it shows me what all i need to avoid in buying. Ty

[peggyshumate]

If it's cold it's glass. Hold a glass bead and a plastic bead in your hand or touch it to your face to compare. The coldest one is glass.

I have the Roaming In Paris miniture set and I absolutely love how it turned out. It wasn't too hard to put together, but time consuming to say the least. Nice mini haul, great ideas, tyfs.

[catcrazy]

TEMU is addicting! 😁 LOL I was looking for journaling items and didn't notice the miniatures. Now I want to place another order! 😊 I think that the little kit that comes with a tin would be fun to make. Actually, I want to order most of the items that you ordered. I love the fireplace but have nothing planned to use it in. Have fun using the miniatures. I want to see what you make that includes some of these miniatures. 😁 You make some of the best miniature dioramas.

[tigger]

My daughter helped me get started navigating Temu. I do all sorts of random crafts, mostly trinket boxes but I'm trying to learn how to make miniatures. I just got a few things in the mail today. I got several silicone molds, a miniature piano, and mininiature sewing kit. I got a dress form but it is Barbie size. You've given me lots of ideas! Btw, I get so confused about the scale of things. You're a great teacher!

[Siennaflower]

So funny how everyone has their particular preferences. I hate aging things (which you're so good at!), but I don't mind cutting things out. ❤ I have to go look for that quill pen! 😍

[BohoAstronaut]

I love your sense of humor. I just stumbled across your channel earlier this week and have been watching a few of your videos everyday. I love your creativity. I have always made all my mini accessories from "trash" but I shop on temu regularly so I am definitely going to explore their miniatures section more.
Oh and I find your voice so soothing I've found myself falling asleep to your videos the past 3 nights lol

[jamiegallier]

I really enjoyed your horde haul, the details, humor and tips. So much cute stuff. Loved the firebox, decanters and all the cool findings.
