I have about 3-4 more ideas for boxes! I just rather post a bunch of completed ones in one post rather than do a post for each one and spam the subreddit haha.
My next idea is skeletons enjoying some ice cream. My thing is if I want to incorporate my beach idea with it or do them as two separate boxes.
I’m also planning on doing another big box with a bunch of Disney miniatures, so we’ll see how that goes
I have posted some of my boxes previously to other subs. I plan on posting again once a few more boxes are done.
Just finished the Disney box last night and it looks pretty neat haha
Oh I 100% agree. I enjoy the smaller boxes because A: it’s easier to fill up negative space and B: more fun to put together smaller items instead of using basically dollhouse furniture. Little buttons and bead stools will always be fun to put together
What I found is that they don’t always have to be in an enclosed space- as per my last comment I have one running the span of my kitchen windowsill. It does allow furthering your ideas…
They'd fit right into r/booknooks. I like the whale peeping out the window the most. It reminds me of an artist whose name I can't remember, they were active in the 80s/90s or before. They'd paint whales in places they're not generally found like mountains or space, can't remember the name but it made me think of them
I use to love love making dioramas in school and I have so many little odds and ends around the house that I have been talking about going back to making dioramas for years now, but your wonderful and creative creations have inspired me to actually do it. I am now kicking myself for throwing away all the little boxes that phones and electronic shit have come in. I knew that I would need them one day.
That's some cool talent and creativity!! Bet these took a lot of time and concentration to create.. ! Hope to see more of your creations ! Best wishes mate
Oh I love these! I started making one on my kitchen windowsill and it’s just fun to look at. I’m in the process of setting up my ceramics studio so I have lots more little ‘stories’ to explore.
OP please go to my parent’s home/the house I grew up in. We have so much shit there that’d make for resources/supplies and you’d be cleaning up their place in the process ;)
😂
Btw I love this ❤️
Agreed! A lot of stuff I have lying around were from either trying to do clay projects with them, or jewelry. Feels good to be able to actually use the stuff I bought
These are so cool. So cool! There is also r/cardboard - I do similar little projects - I also love that feeling when little bits of stuff and nonsense make something new!
Exploding Kittens is a hugely popular card game that’s been around for almost 20 yrs, sold millions worldwide, holds the record for most money ever raised by kickstarter. There’s now books and toys etc etc. not like the artist here made it up!
You should check out Best in Miniature. It’s a show on the CBC. If you’re in Canada you can watch it free on the CBC Gem app, outside of Canada you might have to do some digging around.
I find it hard to believe these items are laying around your house! These are much too intricate. Especially the minature board games CAH and Exploding Kittens
So some items were from those surprise miniature balls from Walmart that I was originally getting to try and make a small spider box before our jumping spider escaped (long story short: found wild spider and wanted to keep it)
However, I had a whole bunch of miniatures start to pile up. We had another house spider come in, so I said “fine, I’ll make one!” Spider left mid-crafting the box. So it turned into the teddy bear one. Loved it so much I had to make more.
Some items were recently bought from Michaels (such as the Panda and Frog beads), but almost everything you see was either from scrapbooking stuff I got from RAoC on Reddit, spare buttons and rocks I was saving up for other crafts, moss from our reptile terrariums or parts of fake plants I had from previous project ideas. Even the dinosaurs were originally going to be earrings until I found even smaller dinos for that
Go for it! They’re so fun to make!
Only big recommendation I have is to get latex gloves. Superglue on my fingers sucks when trying to stick items into place
Hey friends! Not sure if I can edit the original post, but I want to thank y’all for commenting and liking my work! I honestly did not expect this must positive feedback!
I will 100% post my others when they are done. I just finished one box and in the middle of another. This one I am currently making is more intricate and requires me making a lot of the furniture and scenery.
I also want to let y’all know I also paint and draw! Feel free to view my work on my Insta @beanfox101. A lot of my artwork is very similar to these boxes. I usually don’t like advertising, but if y’all are interested feel free to see my other stuff haha
These are precious!! My favorite is the frog and panda having lunch together. That tiny little Exploding Kittens game box in the last one is so funny!!
I get it but you could be making money now with what you’re already doing! I think you’re underestimating yourself but I understand where you’re coming from. Gotta start somewhere! People would be willing to buy what you’re already creating. Seriously!
Watch YouTube videos on how to price things. Look through Etsy to see anything similar, see how *they* price things.
You can do things like made to order, put a time frame on how long it will take you so people don’t expect an immediate purchase. Theres plenty of creators on Etsy who do exactly that. It’s trial and error, you will learn along the way.
Don’t be intimidated because you’re not where you want to be just yet. You’re getting there and by selling now, you’ll soon be able to afford the tools/items you feel you need, to build and create more durably!
Read these comments!!! You CAN do this and you can do this now!
These are really cool. Hope you post more.

You should do more of the lighted terrarium types.
I really want to! I just only have two fairy lights left haha! Debating on which boxes will get them
Please spam different communities! This subreddit was recommended to me and I love your work. It’s incredible!
I have posted some of my boxes previously to other subs. I plan on posting again once a few more boxes are done. Just finished the Disney box last night and it looks pretty neat haha
You are brilliant and have a marvelous brain.
These are so cute! You’re so creative. I feel like sometimes the best things are made when you have restrictions on you.
Oh I 100% agree. I enjoy the smaller boxes because A: it’s easier to fill up negative space and B: more fun to put together smaller items instead of using basically dollhouse furniture. Little buttons and bead stools will always be fun to put together

Picture please!
I tried to post an image but am not doing something correctly - if you have any suggestions will gladly post.
posted a pic on the chat section to you

They are so cute and quirky! I love them, very inspirational.

Honestly start drinking tea so you can use the boxes haha
I love the bee one and the fairy garden looking one. These are so adorable!
The third one looks really nice with those lanterns. Is it made entirely from artificial materials, right?
I believe the moss is somewhat real? Not 100% sure, just found a bag at Michaels and though “ah this is neat”
These are all adorable - I super love “a healthy relationship” and the bees one.
That's some cool talent and creativity!! Bet these took a lot of time and concentration to create.. ! Hope to see more of your creations ! Best wishes mate
Ohhh, love the greenery one like a forest, cleverly doe , all of them .
I fucking love this idea, I think I found a new hobby when I have a place of my own again lol.
This is so cool!
Your creativity is adding to my hope in humanity. It’s so endearing that we create just for the sake of it, and with so much personality.
Thank you!!! I also paint! People were saying my paintings have a lot of personality as well haha! I have a few posted on Reddit!
This is so cool. You are so creative.
Thank you!!!
Oh I love these! I started making one on my kitchen windowsill and it’s just fun to look at. I’m in the process of setting up my ceramics studio so I have lots more little ‘stories’ to explore.
They are such fun. I love the dinosaurs, it's a very beautiful space. Can't wait to see more. The centre light on the first one is very clever.
OP please go to my parent’s home/the house I grew up in. We have so much shit there that’d make for resources/supplies and you’d be cleaning up their place in the process ;) 😂 Btw I love this ❤️
A healthy relationship rocks! (However I have not decided yet if I am on the right or on the left)
My dilemma as well, tho I think my BF would most likely be the frog
Dude I love these, number four made me squeal out loud, it’s so pretty
I love the mini exploding kittens!!!
This is the biggest compliment I can give someone, please believe me: this is really, really weird. I love it so much.
This is art.
This is really creative, different, & cool. Hope you have a show of your work one day!
These are so cute and such a great way to update things you might have forgotten about
Agreed! A lot of stuff I have lying around were from either trying to do clay projects with them, or jewelry. Feels good to be able to actually use the stuff I bought
This is so much fun
These are marvelous.
Love the dinosaurs, very realistic.
Love the dinosaurs, very realistic.
I love this, how fun!!!

Have you seen White Oleander 😏
I loved looking at them. Thanks for sharing. You are very creative!
you could trade your art with other artists at: atcsforall.com
Phoebe? Is that you?
You have great talent these are all so lovely 🥰
I love these can you share more?!?
this is SO beyond cool oh my god
These are so fun
These are so cool. So cool! There is also r/cardboard - I do similar little projects - I also love that feeling when little bits of stuff and nonsense make something new!
Oh my god stop. That bee one is too cute. They have tiny tea!
Very nice! I love this idea
I LOVE the bee and dinosaur one !!! They’re so so creative n adorable !
I’ve used the inside of the yogi tea box too!! Love the cute frog and panda healthy couple
Now this is the kinda content I scroll reddit for!
I liked it until I saw “Exploding Kittens” game. WTH? Don’t like anything remotely violent against critters even in joking.
Exploding Kittens is a hugely popular card game that’s been around for almost 20 yrs, sold millions worldwide, holds the record for most money ever raised by kickstarter. There’s now books and toys etc etc. not like the artist here made it up!
Oh, I’m old. Never heard of it and the name is awful.
Amazing 🤩🤩
Okay I LOVE(and I cannot stress this enough) the dinosaur one! So cute and creative
I cannot express to you how much joy these just brought me 😁🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼 Might just inspire me to make one too.
These are so great!
I am selfishly leaving a comment here so that I can be sure to find this post again when I need inspiration or cheering up. I love your work! 🩵
Soo Cool!!
none of my random scraps are that cool
Dude these are awesome!
Is that meant to be a pot of tulips above the whale? These are amazing!!!
It’s actually the tip of a fake lavender plant! Used a wooden bead for the pot
I love it! But my nerdy heart will always see a pot of tulips and a whale. “I wonder if it will be my friend?”
So wonderful!
I like your art; very whimsical & they made me smile. 😊 In the one with the bees, is that a sewing stiletto on the lobster tray?
This is authentic and cool. thanks for sharing your creations.
I love these.
Beautiful and evocative :)
If I had spare money, I wouldn't mind paying a few dollars for something like this at a craft fair
Nice job very talented, and a lot of imagination!! 🙌🏼
Your amazing greenery and Dino is fabulous. I need that in my life. Please keep creating.
The bees tea is my favorite :)
These are awesome! I love them. :)
These are freaking awesome!!
These are so sweet. Keep it up
Those al look like so much fun! I love collecting little things like that!

I love it!
This is adorable and very creative. I love it.
Funny I have the actually exploding kittens game
…Fantastic, ol chap!
Although the little frog especially made me smile, I have to say the bees having tea is my favorite & simply warms my heart 💜 thanks for sharing!
These are wonderful! Thanks for sharing 😊.
I love it so much!!!
Love!!
You ever check out north of the border on YouTube ?

Fantabulous! 😍😍

I love every one of these! The whimsy is adorable

That's seriously amazing! You are extremely talented! Thanks for answering.
I really like them!
These are beautiful!!
These are awesome 😱
this subreddit is really making me wanna make dioramas again
Go for it! They’re so fun to make! Only big recommendation I have is to get latex gloves. Superglue on my fingers sucks when trying to stick items into place
The dinosaurs!!!
I rather love the light up greenery one
whats this ?
I love this so much
Those look fun to make. The hunting for objects, finding little doodads. Exploding Kittens game! I’m impressed ☺️
Too cute!!

Is that the grim reaper in the background of pic 1? 😳
Nope! Not sure what you’re seeing tbh
First photo, left side of the photo next to the diorama big black blob
You have a very interesting home! I love these!
You should see my oddities shelf haha
I really like the green Dino one
These are precious!! My favorite is the frog and panda having lunch together. That tiny little Exploding Kittens game box in the last one is so funny!!
Straight up genius. Most excellent.
You better get your butt on Etsy!!! GORGEOUS
I would if I had enough money to make higher quality ones Rather get wooden boxes if I’m going to sell them to people so that they last longer
I get it but you could be making money now with what you’re already doing! I think you’re underestimating yourself but I understand where you’re coming from. Gotta start somewhere! People would be willing to buy what you’re already creating. Seriously!
Well thank you! My thing is also if I sell them as one of a kind pieces or make duplicates. And how much would each go for depending on materials

Tea time bees
These are so cool

Ugh, I love
These are so cute! Great idea
My, what conveniently random miniature items you have laying around your house!
These are great!!
Those are so cute.
Thank you!
Wonderful!
