Product Information

Next, glue the pieces of cardboard to the floor with PVA glue in whatever pattern you prefer, being careful not to leave too big gaps between the tiles. Don’t worry if some of the tiles have writing printed on them as you’ll be painting over them shortly. These samples are usually made of HDF (high density fibreboard) and some are scuff and water resistant, so could be a great choice for a kids’ dollhouse. The easiest way to accessorise your little home is to buy a set of doll house furniture, a family of dolls and then start personalising the house to reflect your little ones personality. Fairy lights, LED lights or battery operated lights are a great addition to add as it creates a whimsical scene to play in, especially at night. 3. What size doll will fit in the dolls house? Use poly acrylic varnish to seal the tiles and add a lovely shine. The next step is to use grout between the tiles so the gaps are the same level as the tiles and everything has a realistic, uniform finish. You can either use your finger to to this, or a plastic spatula.

Once you have your stirrers, cut them into one inch pieces – these are a much smaller length than when doing long straight floorboards. In the video below, the crafter has a really good tip for cutting the stirrers – use a craft knife to make a cut on each side of the stirrer and then snap the two pieces apart. https://youtu.be/nMJzYPrG_uU Video can’t be loaded because JavaScript is disabled: DIY Miniature – Hardwood Floors (Herringbone) (https://youtu.be/nMJzYPrG_uU)

HAVE YOU SEEN OUR FURNISHED, LARGE WOODEN DOLLS HOUSE?

Simply mark out 1cm squares with a ruler and sharp knife (such as an Xacto knife or Stanley knife) on the top and bottom edges of the tile, carefully lining up the marks on each side. Eventually, you’ll end up with a grid of 1cm by 1cm scored squares. Before we get started, I just wanted to share a super useful tip with you. Cutting flooring to size for a dollhouse can be a fiddly job, so if you’re cutting down fabric or linoleum tile to use in your dollhouse, it’s a good idea to use a template. Customising a dollhouse or miniature room is one of the most fun mini projects you can do. And just like in real life, flooring can set the tone of the decor for your tiny home. Whether you prefer the DIY approach or buying off the shelf, these 12 dollhouse flooring ideas are a great way to spark inspiration. Upholstery fabric is used on furniture and to make curtains, so any designs or textures will be smaller in size than real carpet. Look for corduroy, suede, velvet and fleece fabric to create textured, luxurious carpets. This is such an affordable, fuss-free option – all you need to do is buy one linoleum tile and cut it into lots of miniature squares!

Don’t know what to do with your coffee stirrer once you’ve used it? Don’t throw it in the bin, recycle it into a tiny floorboard! The one thing you will need to look out for is if there are any knot patterns in the wood. The samples are often a portion of the actual plank of laminate flooring. This means that if the sample you get has a knot in it, you’ll have to make sure it doesn’t look too obvious as the flooring won’t look as realistic if it has giant knots in it. This shouldn’t be too much of a problem as you’ll be cutting the laminate into very small pieces but it’s worth bearing in mind! Print the design out onto a piece of card so it’s more structured and easier to work with than paper. If you’re going for a realistic look, then gently score down in lines between the rows of tiles to create groves. Staggered – where the floorboards are usually arranged so that the end of each floorboard corresponds with the centre of the board next to it.

Felt sheets are super soft and come in a huge range of colours. Although mainly plain, some craft shops sell pattered felt sheets, but you’ll need to see if they fit with the scale of your dollhouse before installing. 11.

Use A Full-size Linoleum Tile Cut To Size The easiest way to tidy up the edges, is to draw a line down the side of the flooring so it’s inline with your base board. Then use a craft knife to cut off the excess wood so the edge of the floorboards and baseboard are flush.

Make sure the tile you choose is thin and doesn’t have a pattern on it that would detract from the scale of your dollhouse. Something like a plain faux terracotta tile would be idea.

Wooden Dolls Houses

You can fix the wood down with wood glue, being careful not to use too much in case the glue seeps out between the floorboards. There are a number of options you can use for carpet, all of which are super cheap and easy to install. 10. Felt Sheets For Dollhouse Carpet Stone floors look great in rustic dollhouses or for outside areas in dioramas. All you need to do is paint the area of floor (or the template) you’re going to cover in grey paint (to represent concrete) and then cut out lots of pieces of cardboard from your egg box or drinks carrier. Be mindful of the scale of your dollhouse and try to match up the size of the tiles with the scale you’re working to.
