Many little girls love dollhouses. Many big girls collect miniature dollhouses and accessories. Decorating a dollhouse can be a fun, yet challenging hobby. Sometimes finding the right accessories in the right scale may seem impossible. You can always purchase decor items from your local hobby shop or online, but with a little creativity, you can adapt everyday items to decorate your dollhouse.
Instructions
1. Ask your local wallpaper shop for sample books that are out of date. Many times, there will be wallpaper with small-scale prints or solids that are suitable for your dollhouse. Also, many hobby shops carry dollhouse supplies such as wallpaper, but it can be expensive.
2. Use a toothpaste cap as a planter. It can be spray painted and filled with small bits of moss or air fern.
3. Wash the plastic center from a delivered pizza, and paint if you'd like. This makes a great little table.
4. Cover a wine cork with fabric and embellish it with tiny trim for a great ottoman.
5. Knit or crotchet a rug. This looks like a braided rug and can be made in colors to match your dollhouse decor.
6. Cut a small photograph out of a catalog or reduce and photocopy a family photo and frame it with trimmed and painted matchsticks.
7. String some clear beads on wire and shape into a "crystal" chandelier or wall sconce. If your dollhouse is wired, you can also wire this with electricity.
