  • I only used materials I found here at my home in making this project. The only expense was the glue. I started with a Wall-Mart cardboard box. This video is an overview of the entire project from beginning to end for those who like to see the project in a nut shell. If you have questions about specific things please go to my Playlist "Paper & Cardboard Creations" There I have a series of short videos that will take you through each phase of this construction. My next series of videos will be constructing the furniture, curtains, kitchen cabinets, and other accessories and then finally making the doll family that will live in this house.
    The house is not perfect because it was started without a plan and done rather hastily. I see this project as a learning one. My next house will be planned and scaled properly with far greater details.

    Debra, this cardboard dollhouse is beautiful. You did a wonderful job. I also like to build my own Barbie Dream Houses from MDF and cardboard boxes. They are OOAK and totally unique. No one has one like mine. I find it a very satisfying hobby. I have been a collector and crafter of Barbie/Ken for 45+ years. I limit myself to 15 dollhouses. I eventually give them to children of my friends. Your dollhouse is BEAUTIFUL. Keep on creating and enjoying!!!

    This is lovely, I subscribed after finding your cardboard staircase which I was looking for to make some outbuildings that I want around a Tudor house that I am about to make (kit of Historically accurate Tudor house at 1:15th scale). I intend to make a cobbled or flagged yard with some sheds and needed a stair to a hayloft. Its pretty ambitious but I believe in the stuff you guys call chipboard (its MDF here, chipboard is a harder heavier thing alltogether) as I'm a long time fan of Thicketworks who shows how to make it as solid as wood by applying thin superglue!

      She was interested in the dollhouse from the beginning but after I hardened the surface it no longer felt like or smelled like a cardboard box so she lost interest in it and no longer bothers it. I did make her a three layer cardboard cubical which she loves to scratch or hang out in.

    That was fantastic Debra. I will subscribe and check out what other videos you have. Would love a few measurements and as I am just starting off is that a 1:12 scale? Was there two layers of cardboard used for the walls. Great job. Cheers Robyn ❤😊

    • @DebraCarmona
      @DebraCarmona  2 місяці тому

      When I started this project I didn't pay much attention to scale but it is close to a 1:12 scale. My next one will be more uniform. I considered this one a practice one.

    • @DebraCarmona
      @DebraCarmona  2 місяці тому

      Replying again since I missed answering one of your questions. I wish I had used two layers thick on the interior walls or used two layers of matboard a much sturdier board. The exterior does have two layers of cardboard.

    Hi! So to make it sturdy? You just added layers of cardboard? No paper mache needed?

    • @DebraCarmona
      @DebraCarmona  5 місяців тому

      Basically yes 2 layers or more will make cardboard sturdy. It is even stronger if the corrugated grain of cardboard go in perpendicular directions. Also at the end I hardened the surface with a mixture of wall joint compound and glue. I did put paper on the outside edges to cover the rough edges for a more smooth finish before the slat boards which were made of mat boards cut into 1" strips.

    If you're making this out of scrap cardboard how do I keep the creases from showing through just prime them?

    • @DebraCarmona
      @DebraCarmona  9 місяців тому

      I added layers, 2 for the outside and then with the siding added you don't see any of the folds, seam, or creases. For the inside I used wall paper to cover the cardboard. If your still worried about creased showing before adding wallpaper mix 1 part glue 1 part wall compound to smooth out the surface. Apply with a smooth flat paint brush. When dry you can sand it. Hope that helps.

      Основная конструкция изготовлена из картона. Я использовал матовую доску, которую художники используют для обрамления картин или картин. Я нарезал полоски картона, чтобы сделать каркас и внешний сайдинг. Стены я украсила образцами обоев из книги образцов. Надеюсь, это ответит на ваши вопросы.
