How To Make Dollhouse Furniture Out Of Wood: Steps And Items Needed


Steps And Items Needed To Make Wooden Dollhouse Furniture

Wooden dollhouse furniture is very easy to make, all the customer needs is some items listed below before following certain steps.

Items Needed

  • Dowels Of Different Sizes.
  • Balsa Wood.
  • Thin Plywood Or Other Thin Sheets Of Lumber.
  • Paint.

Steps

  1. First the customer has to look for designs in order to make dollhouse furniture and for that they can browse internet or go through various design books. Make sure to find the perfect dimension as well as the scale on design and finally compare with dollhouse. You have to keep in mind the size as for example 3 inch chair will not be as good as say 10 inch chair for 12 inch doll.
  2. Try to make design of your own by keeping it as simple as possible. Simple items like chair and table are easy to make with support like legs as well as seat or table surfaces. Also create other important items like book cases and beds to the exact size of doll house.
  3. Choose the wood of your choice like balsa, plywood, lumber, etc. All the types of wood are very easy to work but have some disadvantages as well. Balsa wood can splinter when it is cut, thin plywood will not look as appealing as it should be unless it is not painted. Lumber wood such as cherry, mahogany, oak, etc will look exceptional but it is very costly.
  4. Cut the pieces of the wood before applying glue and then staple as well as nail the cut pieces in order to make furniture. Attaching wood pieces mostly depends on the wood type you are using. It is mostly recommended to glue the lighter wood like balsa instead of nailed or stapled.
  5. Let the glue completely dry up before testing the furniture joints and make sure there are no wiggle available. The customer, if needed, can again apply glue to joints if they are loose before painting, sanding and polishing.
