First inspiring craft video of the year

 DIY Cardboard House (1:6 scale) - YouTube

This is absolutely amazing and has given me a lot of ideas for the doll house that I plan to decorate this year. It was given to me a very long time ago and had been made by a local mental health group. At the end of the project there were five or six doll houses that would have gone into a skip. I picked one up and it has languished in my workshop since then. Now that I plan on getting rid of the big workshop and won't have space in the potting shed for it I need to do something with it. This is the year of 'The Dollshouse'. I intend to make everything inside it from things in my craft stash and would really appreciate any tips and advice from anyone that makes doll house furniture.

    Happy New Year, Cherie & Tony.
    I'm a bit of a doll's house fan. I've sent you a link with a few ideas from one I refurbished three years ago. xxx

  2. Sounds a good idea & my cousin Jill makes her doll house furniture, as does a friend who is also a Jill & doesn't live too far from me, so I'll ask her too. Take care & hugs.
