This Cardboard box craft is effortless to make and a perfect way to spend the upcoming weekend. So let’s start without any delay and take a look at the things you will need for a DIY dollhouse.

DIY Dollhouse Cardboard

To make a DIY dollhouse miniature you will need the following things:

• 20+ Sheets of 8 1/2” x 11” Cardstock
• Push Pins
• Cardboard Box
• Permanent Marker
• Knife
• Glue Sticks
• Yardstick
• Beads
• 4 Sheets of 12” x 12” Cardstock
• Cutting Mat
• 1 Sheet of 12” x 12” Cardstock
• 1 Sheet of 12”x12” Cardstock
• Green Tape
• Craft glue

1- Cut the Cardboard into a Dollhouse Shape

In the first step, you will need to create the top of the dollhouse. With the help of a knife cut off the opposite flaps from the top of the cardboard box. Now make an equilateral triangle on the other remaining flaps.

In the next step, we will create the floor of the dollhouse. For this, flip the box upside down and cut the opposing flaps and attach them with the tape. Now cut the box from the backside and leave an opening with edges on the bottom left and right side of the box.

2- DIY Dollhouse Paint & Wallpaper

After the first step, you now have the structure of the house. Paint the inner walls with your favorite color and add wallpapers. Take 2 sheets of patterned scrapbook paper and cut them into 2 pieces of 8” x 8” & 8” x 12”.
