Cardboard furniture for a dollhouse

A dollhouse can have as many rooms as you want, especially if you have made it yourself. But usually, there is usually a kitchen, a living room, a bedroom, and a bathroom. You can leave the furniture in cardboard, but with a little acrylic paint you can give it some color details. As an extra tip, I recommend applying a layer of newspaper over the cardboard. Make a mixture of white glue and water and glue the pieces of paper.

Once it's dry, the cardboard will be much thicker and stronger. Thus you will make sure the children can play, without fear that they will break right away.
