[Dollhouse] DIY Ideas for Licca-chan's House (1–10)
Living room for 1/6 scale dolls
Here’s an idea for creating a 1/6-scale living room sized to fit Licca-chan dolls.
When you think of dollhouses, you might picture something cute and charming, but this one is appealing for its mature look, centered around natural colors.
The walls use polystyrene foam available at home improvement stores, the wallpaper is made from adhesive remake sheets, and 100-yen store wood of easy-to-handle thickness is fully utilized.
It even incorporates scrap materials like the cores of masking tape rolls—clever ideas that make you nod in appreciation.
The small accessory ideas are all things you’ll want to copy!
Natural modern room
Why not incorporate elements of the natural modern style, an interior trend that’s been getting attention in recent years? Natural modern refers to contemporary rooms that make the most of wood grain textures.
Placing items with light wood grain instantly sets the tone.
For example, try combining wood with a miniature table or using a photo frame to create a wood-grain-style window frame.
You could also apply wood-grain adhesive film to furniture or flooring.
Give it a try and finish your dollhouse with a refined, grown-up vibe.
Chic and cute studio apartment
Did you know that miniature furniture is sold at 100-yen shops? Let’s use those to create a chic, adult-cute studio room.
Before arranging the furniture, start by setting up the base of the room.
Try things like giving the window frames a wood-grain look and making it so you can see greenery outside the window.
Next, get a carpet from a 100-yen shop, cut it to size, and lay it down.
After that, arrange your favorite pieces of furniture in a balanced way, and you’re done.
Sofas, tables, lights—most of the essentials should be available.

A room with wooden plank walls
Here’s an idea for creating a room with plank walls that convey the warmth of wood.
First, prepare 1 mm thick balsa wood.
Line the pieces up vertically and attach them to the wall, and you’ll have it done in no time.
You can cover the entire wall, or stop partway to recreate wainscoting—it’ll look lovely either way.
You can also paint it like real wood paneling to add an accent color or turn it into a feature wall.
Why not finish it while referring to actual interior examples for inspiration?
Make it with cardboard! Miniature dollhouse
Here’s an easy dollhouse idea: just decorate cardboard and assemble it into the shape of a room.
Cardboard is sturdy yet easy to work with, so the freedom to customize shapes and designs is a big draw.
If you wrap the pieces neatly with origami paper or construction paper before assembling and cover the cardboard surface, it will look even more refined.
Choosing different decorative materials is a fun way to add originality, and layering fabric on the surface to create a softer look is also recommended.
Portable dollhouse
Let’s make a dollhouse that you can open and play with in a flash and tidy up just as quickly, using materials from the dollar store! Prepare a box with an attached lid, and stick fabric, remake sheets (decorative adhesive sheets), and window parts made from papercraft onto the inside walls.
Then just add the small items you usually use for doll play, like a table and chairs, and your handmade dollhouse is complete! When it’s time to clean up, simply put everything back into the box.
If you use a box with a handle, you can carry it around easily, too.
A house made using color board
For those who want to build a fully fledged dollhouse in their preferred design, I recommend using color boards.
A color board is a sheet made of styrofoam.
It’s lightweight, easy to work with, and its low cost is a big plus.
Using it, you can craft everything from the house’s exterior to the rooms.
Start with the exterior walls, then create the interior on the reverse side—that’s the idea.
First, think about what kind of house you want to make.
By the way, a glue gun is the best tool for bonding color boards together.
