Building doll house furniture is not easy.
It may seem simple but it's not.
If you can build real furniture, you will have an idea of what it's like to build one but making it miniature size is a whole new ballgame.
Building doll house furniture is not recommended to novice carpenters.
If you have an experience in wood working, then building doll house furniture may give you some sort of pleasure.
There are tons of doll house furniture that you can make there.
Either you can make it for your daughter or your niece or you can sell it to collectors or hobby shops.
Chances are you will find someone who is interested to buy what you made.
However, there are things to consider before you start building doll house furniture.

Well, you can say the same about doll house furniture.
You may take into consideration the fact that the furniture you are building must inside the dollhouse first and foremost.
For example, you are making a dining set.
You have to measure the size of the dining area.
Now this is a tricky business because since there is limited space, you may think the table you built would fit.
In the end, it might not because there are other furniture (like cabinets, drawers and cupboards) that get in the way.
Other furniture you can make are the doors and the windows.
If the doors and windows of the doll house are already old and chipping, it's probably time you have new ones put in.
You may measure the dimensions of each as well as the thickness.
Here is where mathematics come in.
That is one absolute furniture that you can make.
You see, there are no available windows or doors in toy stores.
Making your own is quite tricky but this can be done if your measurements are accurate.
The costs of building your own dollhouse furniture depend on the kind of wood that you are using.
Don't worry, you wouldn't be spending as much as you normally would if you are making real furniture.
