How to make molding around a window for dollhouse


First you need large popsicle type sticks. Here’s what they look like.  Now we are going to make some strips of wood out of it.


The window on the right is the window that we are making the trim for.  If you look on the sides of the window I made some lines with a marker to show you the length that you need for the sides of the siding to be from top to bottom.


You will also need some regular size popsicle sticks, on the left is what they look like.  You need to cut the top and bottom curve areas off the large stick so both top and bottom are flat.  Next you need to use a regular popsicle stick to make some wood pieces that are the same width that you will need.  Use the stick for a template. Once you make the lines cut out the strips of wood using a razor knife.


These are the pieces cut out.


You need to take these two pieces you just cut and measure from the bottom of the window to the top area that I showed you in a prior picture, both pieces need to be cut the same length. Now you can glue these pieces on both sides of the window.


Next take another regular popsicle stick and cut the length to fit under the window it will be glued down as a window sill put the glue on the outer area of the stick.



Next take another regular popsicle stick and cut it the same width as the window side by side.  If you look at the picture it explains better.  This popsicle stick gets glued down under the sill.


Next is the top piece which you use another popsicle stick cut to size and glued down.


Here it is painted white.  It's much cheaper to make your own this way than to buy them.  Use your imagination and it will soar.
