It has the advantage of being picturesque, decorative and easy to build. In this guide, we will see how to build a house for dolls.

Structure. 

This little house for dolls is made with a plywood 9 mm thick (for the external walls, the support and the roof). The bottom and interior partitions are made of plywood 6 mm thick. This realization is, above all, an exercise in tracing cutting the plywood. All the parts that form the house are glued with glue Acetovinylic reinforced with nails round head. The finish of the facade requires the use of pieces of wood to be glued on the front to represent the same support brackets of the boss, the floorboards and window frames. Use small moldings of pine or balsa wood. The glasses are made of Plexiglas and cut with the cutter. Pay close attention to detail, to the chimney, flue are small strips of white wood, cut and pasted, and the staircase, the steps of which are made up of chopsticks with a triangular section, glued on a tablet of plywood. Cutting pattern. Made a path accurately and precisely with a graduated ruler and a pencil. The shaped cuts are made with a jig saw blade from thin. Instead of the jigsaw, you could also use a hacksaw to saw.

Ground floor. 

The partitions are assembled on the bottom and the base using glue and reinforced with nails round head. The chimney flue is simply glued on the bottom with the glue Acetovinylic. Attacked and boarded the partitions on the bottom and on the media. When nailing, be careful not to fessurare the exposed face of the plywood. Planted in the center of the nail edge (it is best to smooth out the tip with a hammer). The first-floor walls are glued and nailed on the floor and on the bottom. Resting on the walls and the ceiling, at the same time, installed the central partition, which supports it. The walls, the partition, the ceiling are nailed and glued in the same way. The walls are nailed from below, under the overhang. The ceiling, nailed on the outside walls and on the bottom, in order to keep the center position the central partition. Roof and stairs. To increase the robustness of the angle of the roof, fit three corner brackets and a ceiling. The scale is formed by a tablet of plywood 4 mm on which will paste the steps. Place the gabled roof on the front wall of the fund, with reinforcing rods to the three triangular corners. The edges of the ceiling must be cut at an angle. For scale, the steps cut from a rod of triangular shape.

Front upper and lower face Glue and nail the pieces on the top of the façade. Cut angled edges before assembling them at the same level on the opposite side The front can be removed to allow you to discover the interior of the house Because of the projection, the upper part must include a part of the walls, floors and roof Assemble these pieces as suggested previously, so that they fit to the opposite part The lower part of the facade is fixed under the overhang Try to center it with precision cut in the bottom to accommodate the uprights The lower part of the facade is glued and nailed on top and reinforced with wooden brackets designed to represent the shelves of overhang Cut them down in order to accommodate the uprights of wood.

Finishes. 

The walls between the windows of the façade are painted white. Leave space for gluing so that the glue will hold. The rods of pine or balsa intended to represent the coating of wood are cut into the right size and glued. Paint the facades and the roof with non-toxic colors. Glue the Plexiglas and paint the squares. Also paint the tiles, the fireplace and the door. Cut and paste the woodwork before decorating the interior.
