I fell in love with a doll given to me by my daughter and ended up using two three level small white cub shelves and am in the process of turning that into my doll cube rooms.....its working out great for a doll mini mansion with many rooms !!!
Thank you for this. I was getting frustrated with the prices of dollhouses and decided I should probably make my own to my specifications for my custom BJD's. Probably going to do thematic rooms I wish I could do in real life.
I’m glad I found this video. I have studied and researched for a loooooong time. Years 😅 Before starting. I might actually start today. I bought all the foam boards after watching @bentleyhouseminis make their Beetlejuice house which is amazing. I think I was biting off more than I could chew because I can’t force myself to start. I love her ideas about the magnetic removable walls. And I really wanted to do something themed around Beetlejuice, Edward Scissorhands, or the Addams family. Something dark. For my monster high customs. Hers is a 1/12 scale though and I also thinking I needed a starter house that I can commit to finishing. I love that you teach mistakes too- like improving the durability. I used to teach art and I appreciate that. I’m not even halfway through this video and I’m already very grateful. Thank you!
I believe Poppy seed Mini has a tutorial and the pattern for that chair. Great video. Definitely wasn’t aware that there were more than 2 brands for the scrapbook paper and where the thickest could be purchased. And I swear by spray adhesive for applications. Or wood glue applied with a brush. In this hobby that is very important information. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Thank you for mentioning the spray glue, as I did not know if it would work. I learn so much from others as I myself am only 2 yrs into this hobby. Glad I can bring some more data that is helpful. The details are important so others can have more success the first time around. Your comments are appriciated and helpful.
You also, can put the card board under, the strofoam! I myself would, not use the strofoam, it warps cracks! and chips! Wood, or card board, is the best!
Great tutorial, A combination of foam board & cardboard glued and weights put on to keep it from warping. Becomes soooo strong. As Good as wood only light weight. Idea came from Bentley house Mini’s on you tube.
I really like your 1:6 scale stackable BARBIE HOUSE. The foam board is fine, but, when I build my Barbie houses for really super sturdy I use MDF and cardboard boxes. My Barbie houses last for about 10 to 15 years.
Hi - Thank you, I loved the tutorial video for the room boxes. You explained it really well. Can I please just clarify the measurements you have put in the description? I think the floor and ceiling measurements may be mixed up. You mentioned the ceiling measurement is larger than the floor as the walls butt up against the floor on each side so the ceiling needs to be larger to accommodate this. Is this correct?? 🤔
Your exactly right! As the floor is positioned on the inside the ceiling is on the outside resting on top. I did that so the weight of the box going on top is supported by the walls of the one below it. I will double check the measurements to make sure I typed them in correctly .🙈
Hello, What has worked well is a sharp blade, changing them often and pressing down on the ruler with very firm preasure so it does not slip or move as I am cutting. Also a very long ruler so you dont have to stop midway and the preasure changes and the board moves . Hope that helps 🙂
In a 1:6 scale, your wall measurements are only 6 scale feet tall. Your room sizes don’t seem very practical. However, the general construction information is valuable.
Oh your scrap book paper! Is so, pretty!

Sending motivation your way if you haven't gotten started yet! Always fun to make something you can be proud of in the end!
Really great Tutorial ❤

@@Sweetminis4155 one thing I’ve learned is that doll lovers are really sweet and helpful. I love your work.

Great tip! Thank you. It would be good to recycle some cardboard as well. 😉
@@Sweetminis4155 your welcome, glad you like it. It’s how I built my dollhouse

Hi All!
I had the measurements typed in wrong in the description box 🙈
The floor is 16 1/2" wide X 13"
The ceiling is 17 1/4" X 13"

Thank you for bringing that to my attention ! I corrected the description box.
I love making Barbie dioramas with foamboard but I really suck at cutting it neat , any tips ? Loved your video btw

Is there a tutorial for the white chair?
Hello,
Thanks for your question.
I dont have one for it at the moment.
You have to watch when you use vinyl it can mold from heat exposure or moisture! from humidity or if the doll house gets wet!
