Why spend money on a dolls house when you can create your own from your recycling!


Material

  • 1 Cardboard box
  • 1 Scissors
  • 1 Stickytape
  • 2 Toilet rolls
  • Various Tissue papers
  • Various Permanent markers and pencils
  • 2 Small balls of wool for fairy hair

Method

  1. Dismantle a wine box and fashion into the shape of a dolls house using tape and scissors.
  2. Cut in details like windows and a door..
  3. Decorate the house. I used wrapping paper to line the internal walls and sgarpies and pencils to decorate the outside. Let the kids decorate!
  4. Create fairies by adding facial features, sticky tape wool for hair and cut and tape on tissue paper wings and dresses.
  5. Have fun playing with it all! Create a whole village and more fairies to keep the fun going.

  • I made my kids a doll house out of nappy boxes. They LOVED it. Used up 6 boxes, 4 for four rooms then two for the roof that doubled as an extra room. Made all the furniture out of recyclables too.

  • I love this idea and using craft products you already have in the house is a great way to recycle and teach your children how to use something more than once.

  • I was looking for a gift for my niece who loves fairies and dolls, and I came across this recycled fairy doll house on this site. I was impressed by the creativity and craftsmanship of the this user, who used recycled materials such as cardboard, Scissors, Sticky-tape, and Toilet rolls
    to create a whimsical and eco-friendly toy. The doll house has three rooms, a balcony, a garden, and a swing. It also comes with four fairy dolls and some accessories. My niece was overjoyed when she received it and has been playing with it every day. She especially likes the details such as the flower pots, the curtains, and the fairy wings. I think this is a great product for anyone who wants to encourage their child’s imagination and environmental awareness. It is also very affordable and well-made. I highly recommend this recycled fairy doll house to anyone looking for a unique and fun gift.
