Turning A DollHouse Into A Vintage Inn!
I have very much fallen down the dollhouse rabbit hole. I really needed something different to put my creative energy into but I have so much to learn and can be an expensive hobby so I am learning how to make my own furniture. It is not easy but fun.
I got this beautiful dollhouse that the main structure was completed, I painted the house, the roof shingles and put the roof together. It came with all the walls, windows, doors, etc. and a bag of furniture on Facebook Marketplace. I was so thrilled because I have been waiting over 10 years for one of these. I want to create an "Inn or a Hostel" with lots of cool vintage, Steampunk rooms, bar, and fun spaces.
Here is my initial attempt at making a mini suitcase for the travelers that are going to be visiting our Inn.
I am fortunate that I receive sample books from a local home decorator with the most amazing fabrics in it to use for curtains, furniture and such! I use matchboxes for the box part which worked perfectly.
I am using Beacon Fabri Tac for adhering the fabric to the matchboxes.
I have all the fabric on but learned that it frays easily because it is pretty heavy for such a small project.
I had the perfect punch to make the circles for the corner pieces.
I still need to add a handle and straps but I like how it worked out.
Thank you for stopping by!
