I first began the project by making the booth - it took me awhile to think of how I wanted to do this. Originally I wanted to have the booth in the back of the box with the table in front but that became clear it wouldn't work well with the design of the box. So I decided to make the seats at the side with the table in the middle, easy enough, but how big? It's not in exact 1:12 scale, everything is basically estimated, depending on my resources... I spray painted the pieces black (several coats) and applied one coat of Satin Gloss spray paint to make it more shiny.

The floor was created from egg cartons, cutting brick size pieces using an X-actor knife and glued down with Mod Podge.

The final product (before grout) - I painted several coats of red to make it bright, also applied a coat of Mod-Podge.

Painted the interior box several coats of red. Used black for the square (which is original to the box besides the back piece which was added - a coffee stirrer). Also, the outside interior pieces were painted black. Then everything was coated with Mod-Podge Matt to give a more glossy look.

An example of what it'll look like. The table is standing on two black domino pieces glued together (came in a set I bought at AC Moore for $7, bought them for the jars but they had a bunch of random pieces with it). The placemats came in a magazine so I merely cut them out. The chopsticks are made from leftover wood pieces, carved with an X-acto knife. The plates and bowls were made using Air Dry clay, then spray painted black and glossed once was dry. The fortune cookies were made using a manila folder. The "wall art" I got from a Round Robin.

I fixed the wall art (folded back the excess and glued it back), added window treatment (simple wood sticks glued together and painted black), and put together the booth - adding black fuzzy fabric to the back and seat. I originally intended to use red leather but it was too dark and didn't work in the scene. And I had red fabric but it wasn't booth material either. So I decided to just keep it simple.

Close-up of the table and booth. Still sort of working on the food. None of it is turning out how I hoped.
