I had spent a lot of time looking at dollhouses and paper dolls from my childhood (I had multiple sets over the those years from Princess Di to various Barbie themes and more) and decided to combine the two. For this one I combined magazine pictures cut out and rearranged (collage style with Mod Podge and clear tape where needed) on pages in a book I made from paper with a card stock cover. I have so many more ideas for other books. The options seems nearly endless, cheap, and totally portable.

The Cover. (I made the book with sheets of paper and a card stock cover, but you could use a book already made. Recycle.)
The Dolls. (These were made from pictures cut out of old magazines and secured to a card stock. I chose the dolls first and then found pictures that were of the right size for them.)
The garden and front door. (I made slits throughout the book and on each page for the dolls to fit in. Here is a doll placed behind some flowers.)
The Living Room.
Dining Room.
The Kitchen
For an extra play I cut some of the doors in the kitchen so that they would open to reveal typical kitchen items (food, etc).
The bedroom.
Making sure every room had places to hold the dolls was important for play, view, and transportation.
