6 Everyday Items You Can Use As Dollhouse Flooring: DIY Dollhouse Bargains

[@tinynina76]

I sometimes use felt for carpeting.

All great suggestions! That table protector would also make a lovely kitchen ceiling, for a tin ceiling look. 😊

Thank you, Sara for this video. Using everyday items is the best thing to do for doll house flooring, as you can have many options. 1) drawer liners are great because they are sticky on the bottom... I have used this in the floor on dollhouse bathrooms and walls. 2) fabric placemats work well also- I like them in dollhouse dining rooms and family rooms 3) Here in the US I go to home repair stores such as Home Depot or Lowes. They give you a sample of tile for you to take home to see if you want to purchase it. I use the sample to make doll house bathrooms and/or dollhouse showers. 4) Coasters come in different materials- I have used coasters made of cork and they make great flooring for dollhouses. 5) Cardboard- I get cardboard and create my own design on it. Then I glue it to the dollhouse floor with E6000 glue. 6) Pillow cases- Sometimes when I find a pillowcase pattern I like, I use that as the flooring. I just fold it over twice to give it the thickness I want for the floor and it makes it interchangeable. 7) Old bathroom rugs that I cut down to fit my dollhouse. 8) Black foam board and I glue on it different patterns- It makes great kitchens for your dollhouse. 8) At the Dollar Store they sell cabinet liner that is sticky and only $1.25- It makes great flooring and/or wall paper for your dollhouse. 9) A bath towel is great in a dollhouse for the living room rug. I love the bath towel as it has the perfect thickness for a living room rug. 10) For the patio of your dollhouse, I go outside and collect little rocks and pebbles. I wash them off. Let them dry. Once dry I can glue them in any pattern or shape I want and add them to my dollhouse. 11) For my dollhouse balcony, I had some grass runner (which I had purchased years ago for my Alice In Wonderland BD themed party), and I cut some of the grass runner down and put it on my dollhouse balcony. It was sooo pretty and reminded me of New Orleans here in the US. I added little pots with flowers and my dollhouse balcony looked like a "secret garden". 12) Sometimes I just want to paint a dollhouse floor, so I go to my friendly neighborhood Walmart and buy a can of spray paint for $5.98. That is a cheap way to do it also. Using spray paint I have to tape down areas so my dollhouse walls do not get paint on them. I always check to make sure the spray paint has a primer in it and is oil based so it will stick well to whatever surface I am utilizing as I like to build my Barbie dollhouses from bottom up. I usually build my Barbie dollhouse with cardboard and MDF. I also build them for my friend's grandchildren. The kids love them as I build them specificaly for them and they are OOAK. I am an old lady now, and it is a relaxing hobby for me. Thank you and I enjoyed your video.

This was so helpful. We are really tight on money and doing up a dollhouse my grandad made me when I was little for my daughter to use. I remembered I had a fabric table runner just like the placemat you showed and it's perfect. Thank you 🥰

Thank you so much. You've really helped me. I'm just starting.

[@thelittlemouseshouse]

Thank you for the run through all of the different floors!

[@miniaturescookingandmore6583]

Great Ideas, thanks for sharing. Placemats make good flooring too, they come in so many fun patterns.

[@angeladawson5383]

A Roman blind would be nice made out of the striped place mat, also the most expensive one would look good on the ceiling

[@AprilClayton]

Excellent ideas. Shelf liner works so well. I might try some vinyl backsplash peel and stick tile, too. Thank you.

[@MrsRobinson0741]

In regards to the 4th option...I'd paint the matte or semi-gloss modge-podge over to make the floor all even, it dries clear & would fill in the grooves...because I like that pattern but would want it even for furniture, etc

[@ThymewithLisa]

so Glad I found your videos, fabulous ideas!!!! Many thanks!

[@jojosmumdorothy2829]

I've just used a couple of floor tiles that look like wood and cut them into strips not all very straight but a blind man would be pleased to see it lol. I've mixed the strips as they are different shades it's looking good so far. Takes me ages but will be worth it and I already had the floor tiles yay. Thanks for idea made me think what I could use from home saved me money 💰

[@minimodelworld8340]

you're welcome and glad the video was useful!

The table protector would work well as a copper ceiling panels, once painted in a copper colour. When I go shopping I’m always in the lookout for things that I can use for a dollhouse for a 1-12 scale plus a 1-24. But I have never thought of the table mats for use in a dollhouse lol, will have to look in the kitchen shop next time I’m in the city🤗 Thanks for sharing🤗🤗

[@minimodelworld8340]
