Wood dollhouse

Making the wood dollhouse with definitely my favorite project this term. I have never worked with wood before and it was so much fun cutting the wood and learning how to use the tools. I also liked how it was a group project and we were all able to work together. Cutting the wood was a bit of a challenge because it wouldn't always come out in a straight line. When we had the base of the house done we glued printed paper of red bricks on it and then put modge podge over it. Then we painted the inside of the house white. When the paint dried we put tape on the floor of it and painted over it in different colors so we could make a checkered design. The ceiling of the house has a line of chandeliers that we made out of paper clips. There are about 7 bunched up paper clips in a row. The roof is supposed to be like a garden. We put moss on half of the ground and glued it down then built pool chairs with towels and pillows to have a hang out area. Next to that we put down mulch and built a pool. The pool is made up of blue glitter that we found and we surrounded it with little rocks from outside. The whole house came out great and it was a really fun experience. I learned a lot about wood making this.
