modern dollhouse, 1972

Dollhouse

"today's dolls are mad for the mod dwelling"

after a quick trip to the hobby shop you should have all you need to create this dollhouse - balsa wood, laminated & transparent plastic, cardboard sheets, glue and some poster paints. the carpet & tabletop are covered in gift wrap, the furniture was crafted from building blocks and the fireplace was made with an ice cream carton and a lid from a spray can.

(from "better homes and gardens gifts to make yourself" 1972)
