Weekend Art Project: Make a Paper Dollhouse

Got a stack of old Ikea catalogues waiting to be recycled? Instead of throwing them out, you could make your own paper dollhouse instead!

Leanne from SeetheWoodsandtheTrees made this fun project with her daughter  on a rainy day.

Supplies are minimal – all you need is:

• 2 pieces of stiff carboard
• A glue stick
• Some sharp scissors
• And an Ikea catalogue or home decorator magazine

Then it’s just a matter of cutting slots in the cardboard to fit them together, and glueing down some backgrounds on to your four ‘rooms’.

If you’re feeling up to the challenge, you can then cut out more pictures and make little pop-up furniture and people to play with.
