How to use this course

Welcome to the Dollhouse Course! This program is designed to guide you through the art of creating, decorating, and customising miniature dollhouses. Whether you’re brand new or have some experience, this course is structured to give you the foundations first, and then lead you into fun, creative projects.

1. Course Structure

  • Modules:
    The course is divided into clear modules. The beginning modules cover everything you need to know before starting from the materials you’ll be working with, to essential tools, processes, and techniques. After the foundations are in place, you’ll move into project-based modules where you can try out different styles and approaches.

2. Learning Resources

  • Guides and Explanations:
    Each section includes detailed explanations behind dollhouse building and decorating.

  • Downloadables & Printables:
    Many modules come with resources you can download and print to keep at your workspace.

  • Project Patterns:
    Some projects include templates you can download, print, and use to guide your builds and decorations. These make it easy to follow along and replicate techniques before moving on to your own designs.

3. Projects

Once you’ve completed the foundation lessons, you’ll dive into a series of projects. These are designed to:

  • Reinforce what you’ve learned.

  • Help you practice using different techniques.

  • Inspire you to create your own unique dollhouse rooms and miniatures.

Each project has everything you need to get started: clear instructions, materials lists, and downloadable patterns.

4. Tips for Success

  • Take your time with the foundation modules, they’ll set you up for smooth progress later.

  • Download and print the resources so you can keep them handy while you work.

  • Don’t rush through the projects. Practice and enjoy the process!
