Collapsible Doll House

Today I took a peek at Pinterest and this was one of the entries I came across.  A collapsible cardboard doll house.  It was from a parenting website called www.sheknows.com.  You can see full instructions on constructing the house here.   I found it interesting because those of us who create dios, are typically space challenged no matter how much space we have.  I've learned to compartmentalize my homes.  One bedroom here.  Another one built on the other side of the room, etc.  A collapsible room would be great for those rooms that don't get seen often.  Or most of the rooms for that matter.  You could permanently decorate the walls.  Add doors and windows.  Use when needed for a particular story.  Then fold away neatly and store it away until needed again.

  9. Great idea! Thanks.

    If ever I do build one, I will skip the roof part. The roof will just get in the way of the camera for some interesting angle. :)

  10. Love the idea, thanks for sharing! As you say, it's very useful to create dios when you don't have much room for them (which is my case). I think that maybe I would make it with a flat roof instead.
