What you can do with a large hole in the wall, make a memory.

My son accidentally fell through wall with his body going down into the basement.  In this picture you can see how big a space I had to work with.  I put some wood slats across the bottom from beam to beam, and also added a rug on top of it.  I then painted the interior walls and added wallpaper.  In the corner I added some corners pieces of wood to finish off the corner.

Here is another view of the hole.

I added a picture from a calender on the left side wall, you can see it in the picture.  I also glued some pictures on the walls of Disney characters, which I got off some boxes.  I also put a piece of a necklace on the wall that looks like a mirror once the cameo was removed. I also added some dollhouse furniture and accessories.

Another view.

I then got a piece of Sheetrock that would fit the opening and cut out spots for two windows and a door.  I know this might seem strange but I didn't have any speckle or tape so for the tape I used strips of papertowels, the spackle I used was a wood glue mixed with flour to make a heavy paste.  When this dries it is as hard as rock. I then took paint and mixed sand with it to make a textured paint. I painted the exterior a bluish gray color.

Another view.

I then added some wood trim around it, and a plastic material type roof to look like a clay roof which you can find in dollhouse supplies.  I added the front of a card to look like some scenery which you can see.  Over top of the door you will see a blue circle, this is a milk cap.  I bought a plastic letter from kohls that had a light on it.  This letter was a Christmas ornament for on a tree that could be battery operated and there is also a tester wire with a button on the end so you could see it lit.  I kept the tester line on it which had a push button on the end.  I cut a hole into the milk cap and put the button into it.  I then hot glued the milk cap over the door.  The light can not be seen. It is on the inside of the wall and is thumbtacked to the Sheetrock above the large window.  When you push the button and hold it down you can see the scenery better.

This is a photo of the inside when the button is being held Down.

Another view.

This is another view, while the button is pressed.

Another view.  Remember, don't get mad when a hole is made in the wall, make a memory.  Tell the children that little people moved in, they will love it!

Making a solar powered TV for a dollhouse out of a jewelry box drawer

In this picture you can see the drawer from a jewelry box and pieces from a picture frame.  I cut the frame to fit around the jewelry box drawer.

The first thing I did was print out a picture from a movie and gluing it to the top of the drawer.

I then glue the frame that I cut to fit the top of the drawer.

This is what it looks like from the bottom area.

In this picture you can see I painted the whole tv.  I made a tv antenna out of a piece of wood and toothpicks.  You can see it lit up.  The solar light can be seen lighting up the picture.  I drilled a hole in the back of the drawer and inserted a solar light

Here is what it looks like in the dollhouse.

Making a fake stained glass window for a dollhouse

In this picture you can see a picture of a deer that I cut out of a magazine that I mod podged onto a piece of cardboard.  I connected a piece of a necklace chain to the cardboard with hot glue.

This is the other side of the cardboard which I glued on a picture of flowers.  I painted a black marking around the pictures on both sides.

This is a decorative piece off an earring, I also used a piece of the earring that goes through your ear.  They are both put together to use for the stained glass holder, the chain goes on the earring hook.  This gets glued onto the wall above the window.

Here's what it looked like when put in the window.

With the curtains up, this is what the stained glass window looks like.  Just think of the stained glass windows you could make for your dollhouse.
