First published as "The Dolls' House DIY Book", this is a revised edition containing comprehensive advice and step-by-step instructions for dolls' houses as varied as a Tudor cottage, a Victorian town-house and a modern house, with fixtures and fittings, furniture and accessories. There are chapters on making dolls, making cupboard houses, renovating old dolls'-houses and miniature gardening, as well as tips on making the most of dolls'-house kits and a review of the commercial materials, supplies and miniatures available. No specialist knowledge or tools are necessary, and there are projects for both the beginner and the experienced miniaturist.

Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
In this is update of their decade-old title ( LJ 4/15/83), the authors have applied current technology and materials to the craft--e.g., they descibe a clever technique to create bedspreads, rugs, and matching wallpaper using laser printers. While the previous book focused on 116 scale, in this volume all plans and patterns include the more popular 112 scale. The first seven chapters describe how to plan, build, decorate, and furnish the house, while the remaining sections contain specific projects, including gardens and dolls. Dimensions are in inches, but, unfortunately, sources are British. Still, the many original tips and tricks, and the suitability of most furniture projects for beginners, make this a good introduction to a popular hobby.

I have yet to find books on a miniature dollhouse topic that does not lift you up and carry you away into that world. You get so involved and grabbed by the various interesting items you can create and with people like Venus & Martin Dodge, your journey is ensured to be a pleasant one. I found 'The New Dolls' House Do-It-Yourself Book' an absolute treasure trove of new and exciting ideas. Thank you, Venus and Martin Dodge, for sharing your passion with others.
