How To Make Mini Kit's Tree House (Lots of Pictures)
- USPS box 7.25" x 7.25", but any box 7"-8" square will do.
- Cut off three of the top flaps.
- Cover the interior with wood grain scrapbook paper then tape the single flap securely at the sides.
- Cover the exterior with wood grain contact paper.
- Cut out a window.
- Using the extra three flaps (previously cut off top) make a pitched roof. Everything hot glues into place.
- Begin covering the roof and trimming the window and door frames in Popsicle sticks.
- (I had square dowel pieces left over from a previous project) use them as "stilts" and hot glue one on each side/ corner.
- Using a piece of cardboard, cover it in contact paper then hot glue it underneath in the front for the balcony.
- Add Popsicle sticks for railing.
- Build a ladder using Popsicle sticks.
VOILA!!!

You can paint the roof grey and add any embellishments you like.
This is really cool! I think i will make it!
ReplyDeleteSome ideas to give it color:
String some beads together and glue them to the door and window.
Use a plastic pop bottle cap and string to make the lift for Grace.
Mini Kit's treehouse turned out great!
ReplyDeleteRhonda, You did such a nice job making a tree house for mini kit. AG doesn't make anything extra for the mini dolls. Maybe that's good in a way that way we can all make something ourselves using our imagination. Also costing a fraction of what AG would have charged. Thank you for showing us easy crafts we can make for our dolls.
ReplyDeleteThank you Laura.
