How to Make Dolls’ Houses 

This vintage book is a comprehensive and accessible manual for the building of dolls houses and furniture.

How to Make Dolls’ Houses provides detailed, step-by-step instructions for building a variety of houses, beginning with a simple model schoolhouse that could be made cheaply and by children, and going on to more complicated tasks that eventually lead to the construction of a nineteenth century draper’s shop and flat.

The contents include:

– A School A Confectioner’s Shop and Café


– A Late Victorian Draper’s Shop


– A Westmorland Farmhouse


– A Tall Villa


– A Sweet Shop


– A Hunting Lodge


– A Miniature Doll’s House


– A Public House


– A Cabinet in the Form of a Doll’s House

Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on dolls.
