How to -- DIY Dollhouse Rugs, Bathtub and towels

Does your daughter need a new rug for her dollhouse?

Use an old sweater and cut it into the shape that you want you rug.

That's it!!

The photo above is a rug that I made for Jade's Dollhouse, I also made a tiny rug for the bathroom!

In the photo below, there is also a Bath Tub and 2 towels

The bathtub is pretty simple as well

All I did was cut a strip of cardboard and bend it into the shape of the tub.

I then used duck-tape to cover the cardboard completely.

I left the rest open because Jade and Loran wanted to put your doll in it.

The whole doll house is at their school at the moment. When it returns, I may add a blue piece of fabric to the bottom to look like water, maybe even a piece of plastic to make it shine :-)

The towels are cut from the top of an old sock that got a hole in the bottom. I had planned on using the green sock fabric for a rug but once I started cutting it, I realized that it kind of felt and looked like a towel......

The Dollhouse Towel was BORN!!

DIY Dollhouse Toilet 

Making Jade's table and chairs for her dollhouse was pretty simple.

There's just a couple simple steps to do:

First off you will need six 20oz bottle lids and 1 larger one (we use a lid from a 1gallon Punch bottle)

Glue the top of 2 lids together with a hot glue gun

Once your glue is dry, Glue the bottom of one of the caps to the underneath-center of the larger lid.

Cut a piece of cardboard to the shape that you want you table top and glue the larger lid to the center.

Let dry, Flip Over and lay a small piece of scrap fabric to the top.

The other 4 lids will be "chairs" (More like stools)

(I only have 3 in the photo because out table was against wall)

And your finished!!!!

Grab a tiny doll and have some fun!!

It took me a long time to come up with a way to make a toilet... I couldn't figure out how I was going to turn randoms from my house into a toilet!

I came up with a Pink Toilet that Jade happy added to her little bathroom.

To make the toilet, I used:

A Toothpaste Box
Duck Tape
Hot Glue Gun
Top off of a lotion container

• I started by cutting off the bottom of the toothpaste box, making it about 1 1/2 inches tall.
• I then covered the outside of the box with Pink Duck tape
• Using a lotion top, my fiance cut the hole bigger using a box cutter and a file. (It wasn't easy)
• I use a hot glue gun to secure the 2 together. I had to add a small piece of cardboard wrapped in duck tape between the lid and box so the lid had room to open.

Vaa La!!!!

You have a tiny toilet for your child's dollhouse!!

ENJOY!!!!

My daughter had a project for school where she had to make something useful or artistic out of recyclables. It was to be a Family Project, Jade and I chose a dollhouse. Little did I realize at that moment that if you make a doll house.... You have to make furniture also.... And Dolls....

Throughout this week, I'll be sharing with you how I made each item. Some were easy to make and some took a bit more thought. I hope you enjoy our doll house.

The Dolls were the last thing we made but I'll be sharing them with you first.

I started by drawing a little bald person on a piece of cardboard. I made the people with dresses because they were for my daughters and they had done decided that the beds in the doll house was theirs, so I needed to little girl dolls.

After I got the girls drawn, I cut them out.

I wasn't sure how I was doing to decorate the dolls when I first made them. I came up with a few different ideas like cutting faces out of a magazine along with a dress or making a dress out of fabric. And then it hit me....... USE A SCHOOL PICTURE!!!! What better way to make Jade and Loran then use a picture of their face for the dolls face!

I cut out their heads, trimmed the cardboard head to fit behind the photo face and glued it on.

Then I found some wire ribbon and cut the wire off the bottom of a medium size piece and started wrapping it around the bottom of the dress. I use hot glue to hold it in place.

For the top of one dress, I use 2 triangles and made a tank-top. I cut a different tank-top for the other dress so they would be a bit different. I used a glue stick to secure the tops on.

To make them stand up I use a scrap piece of cardboard and placed it between their feet. I had to fold one in half to make it thick enough for one of the girls.

Finished!!!

Kind of like Paper Dolls but stronger!

Easy and ADORABLE!!!!

Don't you agree??

You can also make boys dolls for those castles and towns. maybe dress them up as Knights or Cowboys and Indians!

If you come up with other ways to make little dolls, let me know!!! I'd love to see your ideas!
