Step 1: Decide on which dollhouse style.
Well, if you wonder how to build a dollhouse from scratch, the first thing to do is to think about which dollhouse style you are going to work on because there are many.
On my website, I have written about most of the styles that exist for dollhouses, although I think I'm still missing a few 😉
In the list below, you can find the ones I have already talked about:
- Victorian dollhouse style
- Shabby Chic dollhouse style
- The Tudor dollhouse style
- The Georgian dollhouse style
- The Gothic style
- Farmhouse dollhouses
- the Asian dollhouse style
- The Federal style
- the Antique Dutch cabinet dollhouses
I still need to figure out Art Nouveau and Baroque, I think haha. That's for another day!
In the meantime, please do let me know below which style has your preference, I would like to know!
Step 2: Look for DIY dollhouse plans or create your own.
There are two ways to have your own DIY dollhouse plans:
- Look for the plans online
- Create your own DIY building plans
As you noticed again haha, I have written about both ways. I didn't even realize myself that I already wrote about so many things ;-).
Oh, how about Victorian dollhouse plans, found those as well, almost forgot!
Step 3: Gather your building supplies and power tools.
