The Dollhouse

A good basic introduction to the fundamentals of the dollhouse making, Creating & Crafting Dolls explains how to sew dolls from your own fabrics or make them from purchased blank bodies. Beginners and novices will learn how to utilize two easy patterns to construct simple but charming doll bodies, and how to adorn them with a variety of hairstyles, facial features, clothing, and accessories. (A number of patterns are included for the clothing and accessories.) Though a bit plain-looking--mostly text augmented with line drawings--the procedures are clearly explained and the book contains 14 full-color spreads showing photographs of many different versions of the basic dolls.

The dollhouse is suitable for new or experienced collectors or for children with adult supervision. Primrose Cottage when assembled by an adult, is suitable for children over 36 months. No item is suitable for children under 36 months. Full assembly instructions are included in the dollhouse kits. It is recommended that you assemble the dollhouse kit initially without glue, so that you are confident with the assembly procedure. You can then complete the final construction by gluing everything in place. All of the dolls houses are manufactured out of MDF.
