  Step 20

  Attach a bead at either side of the bar to secure the curtains.

• 

  Step 21

  Cut two strips of fancy ribbon and glue them around the edges of the box / frame.

  Step 22

  Print out some photos, one of an outside scene and some for the walls.

•

  Stick the outside scene on the outside of the window facing in.

• 

  Step 24

  Fold the wire in to an oval and wrap the ends around the middle.

• 

  Step 25

  Take two more lengths of wire, these will be the legs.

• 

  Step 26

  Make legs by folding the wire in to loops at the end and then attach to the chair.

• 

  Step 27

  Wrap more wire all over the chair to make it in to a seat.

• 

  Step 28

  Cut a square of fabric and stitch it together to make a cushion. Place it on the chair and put the chair in the doll house. All done, more fun doll house projects coming soon.
