Making a Barbie Doll House

By

I ordered something that came packed with thick Styrofoam around it. I took my electric craving knife and cut it to make a couch, another piece became a chair, we used pop cycle sticks to make the bed flat then sewed some fabric into a pillow shape for the mattress we took scrapes of lace and made curtains. It depends on how big you make the doll house as to what you can do in the way of furniture I have a lot of ideas so if you need more feel free to email me and I can give you tons. I was a single mom and had to do with very little so my daughter and I got very creative in things we did. Now I do them with my grand daughter just because she enjoys making things herself dcsprsmm AT yahoo.com

And you're really going to love this last one because it has printables for making table clothes, wall hangings, applianaces, light switch plates and even kleenex boxes!

Checking these sites out makes me want to build a house and furniture just for fun!

Hope these help and maybe you could share a photo with the Thrifty Fun family when you're done by posting it in the weekly Craft Contest ;-)

I am looking for new and creative ways to make a Barbie doll house. An idea I had was to make a tree house like the one in the movie Swiss family Robinson but scaled for Barbie dolls. Any ideas?
