Kiki's Magic Emporium

This was my first cupboard and I didn't really know how to prop it up. Overall it turned out well though.

Okay... This one was a bit harder than the first because there aren't slots for the shelves like the first. I'm also not great at gluing the doors of the drawers.

Because the construction is similar to the last one I was a bit more prepared! Making the drawers' handles was a new experience. The kit didn't come with anything to do that, but I had some jewelry pliers and was able to do it pretty easily.

I appreciated that the pieces were all punched out, and the drawing of the silver marks on it was fun! I'm definitely getting better at gluing the pieces. I did find making the door pulls a bit difficult, but that's just me.

Okay. This one was a bit difficult. There were a bunch of tiny pieces to punch out of very thin wood which broke in a few places. I was able to glue the weak parts though so that's not bad. I kinda screwed up a bit on my wire cutting but I didn't really care if it looked a bit wonky. The drawers weren't terribly clear on what sides to glue the pieces so I accidentally made them too wide. Because of this I actually opted to just glue the scrolls in the open slots and it still looked cute.

This one didn't give me too much trouble. The lattice piece being cut out helped. That part did warp a bit on me so if you have clamps it would be helpful.

The only part of this that gave me trouble was the A7 and a pieces. They didn't want to fit in the holes together. Not sure if I misunderstood? I eventually got it but I had to force it and pieces cracked a bit.

Okay. This gave me trouble with a capital T. One of the 4 legs was shorter than the other 3, and I had trouble cutting the toothpicks for the slats between the legs and the back. I ended up gluing a small candle underneath it which looks a bit like a fallen candle so it kinda works

These went by pretty easy with just am exacto knife. I colored the wicks with some eyeliner.

No issues. Very clear

No issues. I need to find something to do with the rest of the flowers.

I thought the directions were a little unclear on the cutting. The difference of a centimeter isn't that much in the actual finished product . I thought removing the black from the wire was a bit had but if you have anything to use as a wire stripper it would be easy

This went easily. It does want to tip over but when you glue to the final product it's fine.

These went easily. Colors didn't quite match the pictures but still cute

Went easily no complaints

Super cute. The lids didn't really want to stay closed. I might have been a bit impatient though? The actual construction was easy

Super easy

Pretty easy. The blue ball does want to roll haha

The broom went well as did the wires. The actual gluing was a bit hard to get the sign to the broom. I ended up gluing a Sakura flower (from another kit) to it and that stabilized it.

Went well. The handle was a bit tricky but not too bad.

Okay. This was a bit tricky. The light wasn't too bad, but I didn't have a heat gun or hair dryer etc to shrink the black tubing. The two beams were a bit hard to place. Just make sure you look really closely at the picture. They also wanted to warp a bit so clamping the whole thing is a good idea. Making the hooks wasnt too bad. The one you glue onto the roof itself I propped up using the magic book and another item to make sure it stayed straight.

Went easily

Went easily. Watch the posters/scrolls

Went pretty easily, make sure to think about the layers of things on top. I wish they broke that up a bit more with pictures.

Went easily

I thought placing the window was a bit tricky, but this was because it was the first step I actually did (first kit so I thought frame first is smart). Make sure to take your time and I actually found it easier to do the floor picture and back wall picture first. Make sure to let the glue dry properly. Pay special attention to how the wires run.

Id put component b on first as it's a shelf on the wall. Work from the back to the front All done!
