Instructions




1

STEP 1:

First of all, decide the usage of the doll house. Are you planning to add it as a showpiece to you miniature collection? Or will give it as a gift to your girl?

2

STEP 2:

Generally, a 1/12 scale is quite popular for building furnishings and accessories. But if the doll is 15 inches tall, then using a 1/12 scale is worthless.

3

STEP 3:

One-story, one-room cottage is the best option to begin with. Though, several choices ranging from multistory concoctions to a Victorian dripping are available.

4

STEP 4:

Now draw a pattern using a simple pencil and ruler. With a minimum six pieces: base, three side walls and two roof pieces, you can build a one-room cottage. Using a ¾ inch wood for base would be fine and 3/8 inch for walls and roof would be a good choice.

5

STEP 5:

Now mark the holes for the doors and windows using a ruler. Cut out the doors and windows. To give it a fine touch, try using electric drill for drilling the holes.

6

STEP 8:

Make all the edges smooth using sandpaper.

7

STEP 9:

Assemble the wood pieces using the wood glue and nails. Use sandpaper again over all the nails and paint it, if required.

Tips & Warnings

Always use sandpaper to smoothen all the edges.

Cut the wood using a circular saw. It will save a lot of time.

Make a point to use electric drill for drilling the holes.
