Since discovering how many wonderful DIY ideas can be found in milk and juice cartons, we have a new upcycling favorite: the dollhouse. A classic that no child's room should be without.

Isn't it much more fun to design and paint your own dollhouse? With our template, the dollhouse is quickly wrapped in the most beautiful construction paper and ready for decoration. The best part? Not only is playing with the dollhouse itself great fun for children, but so is crafting it. If you don't have any play figures, don't worry. With our paper and wooden beads, you can quickly craft little dolls with cute hairstyles.

Finally, a few ears for the piglet

Lade die Vorlage herunter und schneide die einzelnen Teile für dein Puppenhäuschen aus. Für das Haus kannst du das folia Tonpapier in Eisblau (39) und Mittelblau (34) nutzen.

Finally, a few ears for the piglet

Cut out the house template from white paper and attach it to the milk carton with washi tape. Use a craft knife to cut windows and doors into the milk carton. The opening of the milk carton will serve as the chimney. Therefore, make sure you cut the windows on the side to the left of the milk carton opening.

Finally, a few ears for the piglet

Color your dollhouse with our chalk markers. Then, use double-sided tape to attach the wick and the facade to the milk carton. Need some game pieces? Shape a cylinder from our construction paper (apricot 42). Then, using a hot glue gun, first glue a large wooden bead (for the face) and then a small wooden bead (for the bun) onto the cylinder. Finally, you can decorate the wooden beads with felt-tip pens.
