Michael's unfinished dollhouse, Finished & Furnished
I finished two of Michael's hinged unfinished dollhouses last week. This week, I show you how I furnished them to give them as gifts to a 4 year old and a 7 year old. I chose 2 different scales. For the 4 year old, I used 1:16 scale. For the 7 year old, I used half scale or 1:24 scale.

Lovely Tea Cabinet Card using Papercraft Society Box 17
I don't know if you will ever find this, Amy, as you don't seem to be posting lately. But I found you here this morning somehow, after "looking" for you off and on online for years. I hope you are very well. Please get in touch if you would like to. xo Lesley
So cool!
My first ever dollhouse kit purchase was a dura craft Newburg. (25.00) ...... from Michael's. Might be smaller, but I'm glad Michael's is selling dollhouses again.
Really enjoyed the video ❤️
Just saw your video a few days ago. I ordered the same doll house from Michael's, and I just picked it up in the store. The cost was only $23.19. Such a bargain for my "starter" home. However, the rooms are small and the floors are very narrow. I will probably make or order furniture that is 1/24 rather than 1/12 to fit into the rooms. Now I'll have to find a Phillips screwdriver that is small enough for the screws. I can't wait to go through my scrapbook paper to choose wallpaper. I also have books of real wallpaper samples in a closet. Thanks for the idea about making templates for the wallpaper. Thanks for the video.
@@medawson01 good luck! It’s a fun project for sure! And what a bargain you got!
Thankyou so much for the tips. I've been having one heck of a time, I think Eileen need to come up with a better idea for her boxes. I've been googling all morning . We should'nt have to figure out a way to make the box look nice. She makes great journal books. I just ordered another Eileen mini book yesterday.
Stunning! Makes me want these dies. I'll need to go see if they are still available. Thank you for sharing. Happy crafting! 💕
I'm impressed! I bought the same doll house and was having trouble deciding what scale it was so your video helped a lot. Thank you!
Love all the little details. Nice job!
I just bought one of these! Thanks for the tips! What kind of glue did you use? Regular Elmer's?
I used Lineco Neutral PH adhesive but I think any all purpose glue will work...just don't go overboard with it or you will definitely get warping. Good luck!
Childrens fantasy dont have limits. Thats why they can play for real. Grown up need to do that too. Wonderful houses. Will follow your children to their pos children. Greetings from Sweden.
I would love the follow up video as well! Also, how many 12x12 papers do you need to cover the outside?
Hello! I’m working on it…I don’t have a sample trunk so I need to make another one. I think 2 sheets of 12 x 12 but I’ll confirm when I make it!
Thank you!
Hi Amy this is amazing as I’m in UK can you help in telling me the type of dolls and clothes you have used many thanks x
Hello! Yes! I used “Chelsea” who is Barbie’s little sister. I imagine you can find her at stores that carry Barbie? Otherwise look for dolls 6” tall or so. Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment!
Thank you so very much for your help I have 3 granddaughters who will love this x
This is absolutely adorable. But where can I find the followup video showing the hangers and clothes?
Hi Amy did you cover the doll trunk differently from the video when you stuck the paper on to your chipboard
Hi, Lydia! If I remember correctly, I covered only one side of the chipboard before cutting it. Also, I cut an extra side of the patterned paper to cover the slot. I hope that's helpful...
@@MakeSomethingwithAmy thank you now have all my supplies ready to start,and thank you for your amazing videos you explain everything so clearly 😍
I had planned on something like this when our 2 granddaughters were small, but we were offered a free twelfth scale solid wood dollhouse with a box of furniture. The girls played with that for about 2 years, last summer we finally put it and the furnishings out on the curb for free and everything was snapped up in just a few hours!
Very nicely done. My father made me a dolls house when I was little and my brother made furniture for it. I loved that dolls house.
More Please❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😅😅😅😅
Awesome, awesome, awesome!! I definitely want to see how you decorate and furnish the inside! In my mind, I was furnishing each room as you were completing each one! 😊❤
I was very impressed with the work that was done on the pink bed. At first I thought you were going to say you had done the bedding. It looks very comfy. The bed itself was wonderfully done. I'm sure your niece will appreciate all of the cute things you have already done for the house. And the idea of working with her on other pieces sounds like even more fun. Happy New Year 🎉🎊🎉
I would LOVE to see the completed doll houses with the furnishings. Thank you!😊
This is beautiful ❤
I'd have left the ladder out I think, or put it flat on the wall so there's room for more furniture, but still a ladder visually.
good idea...it is snug in there!
This is absolutely adorable!!
Just as an idea when you gift this you could stencil the little girls name on it, or a decorative stencil in the back of it.
Gorgeous Job. Keepsakes for sure. Print out a pic of you and each girl w their house. Print it out small, frame it, and hang in the house.
I adore that idea! Thank you!
I would love to see both of the finished houses. Were the girls so excited?
They both loved them but the 7 year old was beside herself! She can’t wait to make more things with me for it! Maybe I’ll post some videos of us working on things for it…
I recently purchased this house and was so happy to run across your videos! Your work is beautiful, I was wondering if you found proper figures/dolls for the 1:24 scale house? I'm making mine for an 8 year old and cannot seem to find the proper sized figures.
Sorry for the late reply. I did find a little figure of Ana from Frozen but her arms don't move. Maybe Calico Critters? Let me know if you found something...

Hi, at theDollar Tree you could also find pieces of wooden furniture. T4s
I bought 2 of these for my two smallest granddaughters (they're too young for them right now though). My plan is to make them Christmas gingerbread- style houses for them. My handles were messed up on both of mine just like yours. Loved watching you work on this (and the peaceful music)- you gave me a great idea to use Christmas paper for wallpaper! Thank you for sharing your creativity! ❤
19:22 Oh that’s a good idea to score the “tile” paper! I’m not sure I would’ve thought of that. I bet my husband would have though. 😂
1400 Sometimes an exacto knives are easier to use for tight areas.I really love the wallpaper prints, and colors!
6:56 To get a template for the outside walls where it slants maybe the house could be laid on its side, and traced. Make allowance for where the floor divides the two stories. I’m not really sure how that’d work, but for me it’d be easier than trying to measure it from the inside.
You usually cut the paper to roughly the size ( on the big size) lay the paper in the room and either crease it or pencil in the bits that are too big so you cut it away and end up with the exact size, without measuring.
How do you keep the glued paper from wrinkling?
I used a new tool called the "glue press" to apply a very small amount of glue and then I used a bone folder to burnish it down very well. That seemed to work. Also, Elmer's glue stick for kids (the purple one) works really well too if you have a problem with wrinkling paper. The problem happens when there's too much glue or too much water in the glue. Hope this helps!
I think you’re right about the four year old.The seven yr old will be much more particular.I love what you did with both of them.Great gift ideas and so nicely done inside and out..Happy New Year 🥰
These are beautiful little first doll houses for little girls and you have done a beautiful job of the rooms.Of course we would love to see them with the furniture in them ..Well I would anyway as I am a big kid lol!..
Great job!! It’s beautiful
Thank you for showing us how you decorated the dollhouses. I love how you made the winged chairs and the bed. Very nice!! ❤️😘🤗💕
Wow! So interesting. It has been on my mind to get a dollhouse and decorate it. Then this video shows up. I would definitely love to see how you furnish it. I just love this. There is so much love and time put into this. Hoping you will show the finished dollhouses. ❤️😘🤗💕
Love too see it done
Beautiful!
Really BEAUTIFUL! THANKS for showing us.
Love it ! More of theses please.
You are so creative! I like everything but I especially like the winged chairs.
There's a lot of love put into that doll house. Furniture for it will be expensive. It would look prettier with bushes or painted bushes on the house or flowers.
Wonderful and creative. Love the bathroom mirror!
Thank you for posting this. It too bought one with a coupon but don't know what I'm doing with it yet.
You did fantastic work! Both girls will be so excited and happy! Merry Christmas!🎄
