DIY Dollhouse from an Ikea Bookshelf

July 10, 2017 · by: Cathie Filian

Hollywood Blythe’s Loft Apartment Dollhouse

IKEA HACK ALERT

I have been a doll collector since I can remember…. I even still have doll props that I made back in middle-school. Back in the day it was Barbie. I loved her so much and Ken too. One thing that I really loved was making little rooms and decorations for my dolls. Today, I have a ton of dolls…. mostly big-eyed vintage dolls, Blythe and Pullips.

Steve and I are always coming up with new ideas for Mod Podge and when I said, “Steve, let’s make a dollhouse1” He said……. “Do you really wanna make a dollhouse?” I said, “YES! and we can make one from an Ikea bookshelf…. and you know what that means??? Meatballs for lunch!” He jumped on board with the dollhouse making. This dollhouse design is meant to inspire you to create your own design. We used fabrics, papers, mod melts and molds. The ideas are endless. Hope you enjoy this peek around.

Watch how we make this dollhouse from an Ikea Cube Bookshelf.

Time for a little stitch!

Popcorn anyone?

 

 

For the wall decal we just used a motif cut from the wall fabric.

This frame was made with the Ornaments Mod Mold and Hot Pink Paint.

A handmade sink for doing a few dishes. I’ll post the tutorial soon.

The little window was made with wood trim and cloud scrapbook paper.

Don’t you love the wood floor! The floor is fabric that was attached with Mod Podge.

Hollywood Blythe’s Bedroom 

This bedroom look is complete with a princess bed and gem wall mural. The bed I handmade and I’ll have a tutorial for the bed very soon. The gems on the walls are from our Gems Mod Mold.

You never know when you might need a spritz!

Time to powder your little nose!

The wall art was made with a small wood frame and the Ornaments Mod Mold.

Time for a bath!

Thanks for having a tour of my Hollywood Blythe’s home. If you enjoyed this post please pin and share with other doll lovers.

Watch how we made the house!

Behind the scenes of how I make my collage papers Behind the scenes of how I make my collage papers using watercolors. I grabbed these paints from Dollar tree and they worked perfect for this project. The first step is printing out inspiring words or words that would work with my project on a laser printer. And then I paint over them with watercolor, creating many different colors of my words for collage. I cut them into smaller pieces and use as needed for different craft projects. These papers I made for a workshop I did with a bunch of executives where they made handmade wish inspiration jars.
