Jim's Dollhouse Pages
	A wonderful site full of free dollhouse printables. From World War II poster art to 3-dimensional printable items like birdhouses, barns and holiday gift boxes - this site is wall-to-wall dollhouse printables. Dollhouse Making Crafty Tip I have found that the best glue to use when constructing a dollhouse is Elmer's wood glue. The standard white craft glue can warp small pieces and does not hold as well. Also, be careful not to get super glue too close to plastic used for windows as the glue fumes can cause the plastic to fog.

Build Your Own Mainstreet
	The Illinois Historic Preservation Society has created a series of printable and build-able models of historically important buildings in Illinois. You can build your own main street, historic Lincoln sites or even color your own building models. These HO model train scale models are quite realistic and vary in degree of difficulty - the most complex model prints on over 40 pieces of cardstock, the simplest prints on a single page. All of the models are offered as free, downloadable PDF files. Crafty Tip When working with paper models, it's always a good idea to retain a copy of the pieces for reference. To save a bit of money on ink, you can print the reference model in a lower resolution in black or white - just make sure any instructions or guidelines are still legible.

Alice's Dollhouse Page On Alice's Dollhouse Page you will find complete instructions on how to make your own dollhouse bedroom suite, a charming woven pet bed and a handful of other free craft projects. Alice shares many of the lessons she's learned through making dollhouses and room settings as well as pictures of her building process. Dollhouse Making Crafty Tip When making a dollhouse from a kit, always read the instructions carefully. Sometimes, it may be easier not to follow the instructions. When making my Tennyson house, I found it was much easier to attach the dormers to the roof before adding the roof to the house. Following the kit's instructions would have left me with no way to clamp the dormers onto the roof to let the glue set. 75 Visitors Since Nov 25, 2009 Additional Details Is this your site?
