How do I make a bookcase dolhouse?
Step 1: Cut wrapping paper to the fit back of bookcase and apply wrapping paper as wall paper with double side tape.
Step 2: Cut cardboard to make elements like a door or a rug. This rug was made by coiling yarn on top of cardboard with some double sided tape.
Step 3: Add in your furniture and people.
Step 4: Time to play!

The dollhouse furniture looks a lot like the darling stuff from Plan Toys. Great quality, if it is.

Thank you! My wee girl is only 18mths, but girly as a girly thing (all with a mum with a bit of a tomboy background). She loves shoes, baby dolls, and soft fabric. I can see dolls houses coming.

I love this dollhouse cabinet idea. We can use an old cabinet piece and remodel it to the likeness. I love the charm of this DIY project.
