My first dollhouse was made of cardboard, drinking straws and contact paper by my older brother for me. My aunt and uncle filled it with Petite Princess furniture. It was not in scale and I absolutely loved it! Your house is charming. Always in awe of your talent.

Maybe the top of the tower could be rounded and made of "glass", like an observatory tower? You could place a tiny telescope in there, or it could be a greenhouse with plants or something.

Great video/project! My fondest childhood memory was we could not afford things like Barbie's Dreamhouse so my mom made us a huge Barbie house (two stories with all sorts of decor) out of two large cardboard boxes. I paid it forward later in life and created a base of operations of my brother's G.I. Joe figures. Lots of fun!

Cute crocked house build. Great to see some freeform building too. Sometimes I need to remember not everything needs to be measured and precise. Pre used cardboard is a much underestimated resource sometimes. I like the thing of using drywall compound and glue to texture and harden the surfaces. I used PVA and bonding plaster to coat the exterior walls on Harriet's workshop. The bonding plaster is soft enough to allow me to scratch the mortar lines in to form dressed stone. It is very effective. I have also used the same mix to do rough ground cover on her garden railway.

I've recently come across another artist that reminded me of you! If you haven't seen him before you should check out Studson Studio. He makes fantasy builds from video game references or movies etc. A lot of his techniques are similar to these in the cardboard house, and I think they would often transfer well both ways. He uses stuff from the recycling bin, mostly, and just like this cardboard house it's cool to see how things become transformed into new things. I first saw him making the Wizard's Tower from Stardew Valley, and it came out BEAUTIFULLY! The shingle technique could go well on a roof like this one. Not that this one has anything wrong with it! Just that it's nice to have options to choose from.

Love your videos! I have been working in the school system with middle schoolers and high schoolers using cardboard room boxes. It is so much fun for the kids and the recycle aspect is an important message. It also lets the kids that don't have resources know they can be creative too! Best wishes from NH. Keep up the inspiring work:))

Oh yes... this took a while! I have often thought about including a "work time" clock after its all done but I have no idea how I would keep track lol! I work at crazy times here and there in between messing with kiddos. So glad you enjoyed it!

Absolutely love this - very effective, and quirky. The initial colour scheme looks good too. Maybe the dragon you made would look good on the roof of this one as it is a very unique shape. I like the tower, would perhaps diamond pane it - which would close it in a bit more, and perhaps either have a circular bookcase in the very middle, so people could walk round and open the books and read in daylight? Or a really lush greenhouse effect where maybe some of the vine/plants have escaped and are now taking over part of the roof and side of the house? B & Q have opened in some areas in the UK - I can see dry wall filler becoming a premium product now.

Funny you mention the dragon because I have a couple extra that are half way in progress... I can see if they would fit on the roof well. Everyone needs a dragon on the roof right? Great ideas thank you!!

@@BentleyHouseMinis I do like the idea of adding a half floor in the tower with a helical stair case for a 2-level library! (Book nerd here; no such thing as too many books. Ignore my roommate.) History channel has a series on YT called Castle about the 25-yr construction process of a new Medieval castle in France (experiential archeology FTW). You could reproduce the stone coiling stair by cutting a circle with an attached wedge in 2- or 3-thickness cardboard (whatever suits your scale better). Stack the circles while offsetting the wedges. Stone stair with central column, Bam! To help keep the arrangement straight, you could pierce a small hole in the centre of the circles and thread a bamboo skewer through as you are gluing them together :-)
