Step 1
Take a good sized box or preferably a 3D frame.
Step 2
Remove the back and draw where a window should be.
Step 3
Take a sharp knife and a ruler.
Step 4
Cut out the window you drew.
Step 5
Paint the inside of the frame or box.
Step 6
Print out a pretty pattern on to paper, this will be the wallpaper.
Step 7
Cut the paper to the shape of the back wall.
Step 8
Glue it down and leave to dry.
Step 9
Stick some strong glue on the base of your box / frame.
Step 10
Stick down a piece of carpet. If you don't have any spare carpet you could use some thick fabric or sew a little patchwork rug.
Step 11
Pierce two holes at either side of the window, just above the top.
Step 12
Cut two lengths of wire.
Step 13
Wrap another length of wire around the two.
Step 14
Cut two more shorter lengths of wire.
Step 15
Wrap the middle in a loop around the bar you made earlier and then slip off.
Step 16
Place these two loops through the holes on the back wall and secure at the back.
Step 17
Cut two rectangles of fabric, these will be the curtains.
Step 18
Stitch part of the fabric over the bar to make a loop.
Step 19
Slip the curtains on to the bar.
Step 20
Attach a bead at either side of the bar to secure the curtains.
Step 21
Cut two strips of fancy ribbon and glue them around the edges of the box / frame.
Step 22
Print out some photos, one of an outside scene and some for the walls.
Step 23
Stick the outside scene on the outside of the window facing in.
Step 24
Fold the wire in to an oval and wrap the ends around the middle.
Step 25
Take two more lengths of wire, these will be the legs.
Step 26
Make legs by folding the wire in to loops at the end and then attach to the chair.
Step 27
Wrap more wire all over the chair to make it in to a seat.
Step 28
Cut a square of fabric and stitch it together to make a cushion. Place it on the chair and put the chair in the doll house. All done, more fun doll house projects coming soon.
