Outside the dollhouse

Looking at the outside of the dollhouse:

The dollhouse is in two pieces so that it can be easily stored by putting the second part and the furniture in the main dollhouse and slid under a bed.

The Cardboard Dollhouse Begins

The Cardboard Dollhouse Begins - see the tutorial here.

You can see from the photos most of the tools that I used: scissors, utility knife, various squares, and plain old Elmer's glue                                                          

After the basic structure of the dollhouse is all glued together and papier mache add to cover the edges, I gave it an all over coat of gesso primer. I am sure any white paint would work fine also.

Just some randomness
