Doll House Plans

Dolls House plans are rarely recommended for a novice builder. Building a dolls house from plans is not always as easy as it sounds and putting the pieces together can be quite tricky.

For the more experienced wood worker, the challenge of building a house from dolls house plans can be most enjoyable. There are many dolls house plans on the market, internet and available in good miniaturist shops suitable for children’s and adult’s dolls houses alike.

If you decide that you would like to have a go at building your own house using dolls house plans consider the following:-

  • Type of wood (MDF, plywood or birch are most common)
  • Thickness of wood (can alter the plan measurements)
  • Self made or shop bought fixtures and fittings (windows, doors, chimneys, architectural details)
  • Total cost (factor in tools and sundry materials)
  • Space (preparatory and drying times can add up. Ensure that you have a long term space in which to work and to store your work in progress)
