Free "oiled walnut" dollhouse floor - extra large file!

If you are decorating a doll house that has larger floors than our other files print, here is an extra large file of wooden flooring.  It should print around 30" x 30".  You could use a printing service (like Costco, or Walmart) and print either a regular print or a poster print to get some "instantly ready" flooring.  I have not done this so do not know how durable it would be without spraying with an acryllic sealer... let us know if you do it - do you like it, would you do it again, what would you do different...  Enjoy!

(Be sure to select the picture, save to your computer or device and print (or order a print) from there.  Printing this page will not print the full resolution of the floor.)

As always, for personal use only.  Thank you!

Here are some close up pictures of fabrics that work well for dollhouse carpet... the upholstrey fabric is easiest to install as it tends to be stiff.  It all works though!

How to make your own grass mat for a doll house...

If you have access to some old window covering books, usually there is one book devoted to "natural" type window blinds.  They contain samples using things like woven grass and bamboo.  Find one that suits the color and style you are after, and put gobs (LOTS) of glue down each of the far ends of the sample.  After about a day when it is dry, cut along the middle of that glue line and, presto, you have a "grass mat", "bamboo rug", or whatever else you want to call them :)  Here's a picture of a "jungle themed" room with a woven grass and bamboo throw carpet.  

Make your own miniature dollhouse fringe rug...

Making a homemade fringe rug for your doll house is quite simple if you have a scrap of the right kind of fabric... it needs to be a fabric that frays really easy.  This velvet material in the picture works really well.  Here are the step by step instructions:  
* Cut out the square or rectangular shape you want
* "Fray" two ends of the rug by pulling out the fabric threads
* When it looks how you want it to, take Fray Check (available in the sewing section of stores) and Fray Check all 4 sides. 
* Let dry... that's it!

Dollhouse carpet ideas!

You can buy special dollhouse carpet, and it's very nice... but you can also use fabric scraps to create realistic looking, inexpensive carpeting.  Here are some ideas with pictures to get you thinking!  Keep in mind that dollhouse scale is small, so choose fabrics that have small prints and grains.

More about making your own "linoleum" for your dollhouse

As mentioned in the previous post, there are several ways to actually create your own dollhouse "linoleum" pattern.  

1.  Do a google image search for linoleum.  For best quality results choose to return images that are extra large.  When you find one that is to your liking, print it out and cover with clear laminate.  (note: be careful of copyrights, only use this idea for personal use.)

2.  Scrapbooking paper is another great idea for linoleum... just cover it with clear laminate and lay!

3.  This is my favorite!  Create your own custom linoleum using clip art.  If you have photo editing software such as Adobe Photoshop, use it.  Otherwise, you can insert little squares of clip art into a word processing program... alternate them with the same sized square of solid color to look more natural... and then cut and paste, filling up the sheet.  Print and laminate.  I'll include a sample for you to look at, or to use if you would like some sunflower linoleum for a sunny kitchen!  Just click on the one you would like and then either print or save to your computer.  (Don't resell them, obviously, since they have been given to you for free!)

           

Making "linoleum" for your dollhouse

There are several ways you can create custom linoleum for your dollhouse.  The general idea though is to print it on your home printer and cover it with some craft adhesive laminate (we think clear Con-Tact Paper is the easiest one to work with, but you can use any brand).  Next, cut the linoleum to your floor's size.  Then, smear a thin layer of glue on the floor, and place your flooring on top of it, smoothing out any wrinkles.  (note:  make sure you allow the ink to completely dry before laminating and gluing your linoleum.)
