When it is time to complete the walls of your dollhouse, you can choose either to paint them or cover them with vibrant dollhouse wallpaper. Wallpaper will give your house a finished look. This background will help your furnishings and accessories stand out. Select wallpaper or room colors that match the style of your house, as well as the furnishings you wish to use in that particular room. If you can't find the perfect dollhouse wallpaper or want to save time, you can paint the room first and return later to wallpaper.
Whether you are painting the walls or wallpapering them, it's easiest to do this before the walls are fully assembled. In that way you'll be able to reach in the edges to spread the glue or paint easily. It is then easy to paint each piece separately rather than to paint the complete dollhouse. Now the dollhouse kit you have will provide measurements to help you determine exactly where the visible section of each wall will be. This is the part that you'll need to cover in paint or paper. However, if you are going to add electricity, you will need to wait for wallpaper or paint on the walls of your dollhouse may dry, until after the dollhouse is assembled and the wiring has been done.
For wallpaper, you can either purchase special dollhouse wallpaper and borders, or choose a specialty paper, like those used for scrapbooking. You will probably need 3 sheets for each room, unless it's a very small room, like a bathroom. Purchase one more sheet than you think you will need to leave some room for trial and error.
Before applying wallpaper, you must have to sand the wall before applying to prepare the wall surface for better bonding. Before you glue in the wallpaper, apply a coat of white paint to the walls. This will help keep the glue from soaking into the wood. Then cut the paper to size, using the directions in your kit or blueprint to determine exactly where the visible section of the wall will be, or measuring the actual wall if it is already assembled. Use a metal ruler and a sharp edge knife to get nice, crisp edges, double checking against your wall to make sure it will fit. If you are using a paper with some patterns, make sure that you fix those patterns accurately with your wall so that it will give more proper looks to your dollhouse.
Then spread a thin layer of glue on the back of your dollhouse proposed wallpaper using some foam brush, and apply it into proper position. Do not use huge amount of glue otherwise it may result in soaking throughout the wallpaper, or it may cause it to the wrinkles. As you install the paper, press gently in one direction with a credit card or similar object so that you may bond the paper on your dollhouse wall free from bubbles. Now as the final step you have to trim the doors or windows openings with a sharp edge knife. If you haven't assembled the walls yet, lay the wall flat, and stack a few books on top of it to make sure the paper sticks well and doesn't warp.
