Super cheap craft project for your dollhouse

I don't recommend this as a permanent way of decorating your doll house, but for a quick change of look or a fun project for a kid it's great. Take a nice quality paper towel (one that can stand being wet without disintegrating), color on it with water based markers, and spritz with water from a fine-misting spray bottle. Let dry... the colors will bleed together as it dries. I misted these pretty heavily... I think the blue and red rug should have been misted less and the red would have shown up more. Here is a before and after picture of a couple samples. When they're dry, scrunch up the paper towel a few times to soften it. You can cut a little fringe in it for a rug or bedspread edge.
