Handmade and homemade dollhouses are everywhere on the internet, some even more lovely than others.
During the years, I have kept so many links to gorgeous or peculiarly designed dollhouses, that it was time that I made an expanded list of them all 😉

Homemade Dollhouse number 1: Made From Fabric!
I have actually found several dollhouses made from fabric, and I thought I’d mention a few of them. These are quite special in my opinion!
And very cute and safe to play with by toddlers.

I love the look of it!
Homemade Dollhouse number 3: a dollhouse in a suitcase!
Not a “dollhouse” exactly, but this suitcase is suitable as one! And if you just close it, it becomes portable so that you can take it with you everywhere 😉
I wrote an in-depth article about dollhouse suitcases!

Homemade Dollhouse number 4: a portable and foldable dollhouse
Another portable dollhouse, but this time not in a suitcase, but a wooden and foldable one.

Dollhouse number 7: a cottage dollhouse on a scale of 1:48
Sometimes you don’t want something to play with, but just admire the hell out of it. This English cottage little house has a size-30×31×28cm. So that’s tinier than the usual 1:12 scale, I presume. Just meant for decoration, but there is even furniture included!

Hi everyone!
My name is Lizzy, and I am an amateur miniaturist obsessed with everything in the dollhouse and miniature world, ever since I was a teenager.
So far, I have created 2 dollhouse projects, a backyard shed and a miniature treehouse, tons of DIY dollhouse kits, and “hacked” some.
I also created a fairy garden, and lots of small and simple miniature projects on my YouTube channel. (mostly made from trash or everyday items).
I love to write as well about all things happening in the miniature world, hence the reason why I created this blog!
I wish you happy reading and crafting!
Lizzy







My 4-year-old niece really loves to play with dollhouses and since her birthday is coming up, I want to give her a new dollhouse.
Your selection of dollhouses is really cute! ☺ Indeed, they are so tiny that I am already imagining what it would be like as a tiny person living in one of these. That would be really cool, I’m sure!
But while these are all so pretty and adorable, I am having a hard time deciding which one is perfect for my niece. Since she already has about 2 or three dollhouses, I want to give her something that she will really like.
If it were to choose one for myself, I would definitely go with The Shimmer Mansion Dollhouse because it is of the right size, not too tiny and not too big. I do not have to worry about small children swallowing some of the pieces. But I know my niece loves Barbie so I’m gonna have to choose the Barbie-like homemade dollhouse. It would be perfect for her Barbie dolls.
By the way, which among all these is your personal favorite? If you were to buy one for yourself, which one would it be and why?
Hi Alice
Thank you for your wonderful comment and story, and for sure, the Shimmer Mansion Dollhouse is awesome for your niece I would think 😉
My personal favorite is the fairy garden boot, made in a real boot, I think it is very nice art!
Kind regards,
Lizzy
What an amazing hobby. Though I am not a woman and never played with dolls or doll houses I can appreciate the imagination that goes into creating them.
Not only that it takes a lot of skill and craftsmanship along with attention to detail when it comes to creating this miniature masterpieces.
Hi JR!
Thank you for your positivity and for sure: there are lots of men creating (wooden) dollhouses as well. Do you know Kevin Jackson, and his Tudor dollhouses, for example? Amazing craftmanship!
Kind regards,
Lizzy
