How to make a Cardboard Dollhouse
370In this tutorial (part 1) I show you how to make the outer structure of a cardboard dollhouse in the Tudor style. And I give you the blueprints free. The most common scale of dollhouse is 1:12 and this project is to that scale. (1:12 means that one inch in the project is 12 inches in real life.)
There are a couple of wonderful things about this project and most notably is that it is very cheap. For all the cardboard and the spray adhesive you will spend 15 dollars or less. And just by asking around you probably can get the cardboard for free. So if you have a few basic materials you would be able to do this project at no cost.
It ends up looking great and it is very durable because we double all the corrugated cardboard - this gives it really good strength.
In part 2 of this series we will build all the internal parts of the dollhouse including the walls and floors.
