Often window covering places or interior decorators have old fabric sample books that they throw out when new ones come. If you can get some of these, they have great dollhouse-sized swatches. In these pictures 3 different fabric swatches were used to make bedspreads for wooden dollhouse beds. Simply cut out the swatches and fray check the edges. Since these particular ones were very stiff fabric, I chose to glue the ends down to the bed (can you see the rubber bands used to keep it in place until it dried?).
Love, love, love the safari theme. How did you make the giraffe wall. It's great! thanks!!
ReplyDeleteThe giraffe wall is scrapbooking paper!
ReplyDeleteThanks Creen. Makes my life easier & fast
ReplyDeleteI used scrapbook paper to wallpaper my entire dollhouse, it will last forever because it's acid free.
ReplyDeleteSo cute, i like the theme. Great idea.
ReplyDeleteI never thought of scrapbook paper for wallpaper! Did you use Mod Podge to apply it? or what would you recommend?
ReplyDeleteI simply used Alene's Tacky Glue... First I measure and cut the scrap booking paper, make sure it fits, then smear glue *on the wall itself*... then, starting at one edge or corner smooth the paper on. Thicker scrapbooking papers work better, but i've also used the cheaper, thin stuff with good results.
