Build a Barbie House
Most Barbie houses on the market are too small to hold all of Barbie's furniture and accessories. By building your own house, you can make it as large as needed, decorate it as you wish, and make that Barbie collector very happy.
Instructions
1. Decide how large you want your house to be. How many rooms and floors do you need?
2. Buy a plastic bookcase that has as many floors as you need. You can take a shelf off and set it beside your house to create an adjoining floor.
3. Assemble the bookcase according to its directions.
4. Purchase thin indoor/outdoor carpeting. You won't need more than a yard. Cut the carpet to fit your floors and glue it down.
5. Cut cardboard or thin wood to create back and side walls for your house.
6. Make interior walls from cardboard or thin wood.
7. Wallpaper both sides of the interior walls and one side of the back and side walls. Use leftover wallpaper scraps you have or that you find at a wall cover store. You can also purchase rolls of wallpaper.
8. Cover the outside of the back and side walls with shelf paper or paint them.
9. Cut out window and door holes.
10. Attach cardboard walls to the bookcase using glue. Attach wood walls to the bookcase using wood screws. Wedge in the cardboard or wood for the interior walls.
