DIY Dollhouse – Final Post

This is it, the last post on making one of these wonderful mini dollhouses. It’s been a fun project and would make an excellent Christmas gift or fun family project.

The last little tip is just a note about how you can make these houses your own. The steps included in the instructions are just a guideline  you don;t have to follow them to the letter. If you think the room would look better rearranged – then do it. If you think a piece of furniture could be made better a different way – then do it. And if you think an item is just not needed – then leave it out. It is your house – make it your way.

As mine is a sample I have kept it pretty much as it is on the box. But one thing I did add was to make some outdoor furniture using the left over bits of wood from the house.

I selected wood for a table, and chair as per the picture to the left. First the three pieces for the tabletop and chair seat are glued side-by-side and then left to dry.

Once they are dry add a piece underneath the seat/top for support. In the picture you can see I did one horizontal and one vertical, that was just from not paying attention. You can do yours the same direction if you prefer.

The three bits of wood for the chair back are glued together, slightly fanned apart. Once dry glue them to the back of the chair.

After everything is dry you can add the tiny little pieces as the legs.

Add a decoration to the table. I have used the pot pattern and some leftover brown card to make a new pot and filled it with some of the white grass. But you can add what ever you like to the table, maybe a magazine or a cup of coffee and a cupcake?

Once its all done you can add it to your house. I have put mine on the first floor porch just outside of the conservatory window.

One other thing I was planning to do, but never got around to it, was to turn the piece of round wood (left over from the round window surround) into a clock for the kitchen wall.

You could print out a clock pattern using an image found on the internet. Or you can paint one up by hand.

And that is everything done, time to sit back and enjoy your house. I hope you had as much fun as I did making your house. And if you have any questions, regarding this house or the other styles I sell, please use the comments and ask away.

And that’s all for now, until next time – happy crafting.
