I am looking for free or cheap dollhouse furniture. I only need the kitchen and the bathroom. I also need little accessories. I would like a computer for my dollhouse, but could not find one. I got the dollhouse for Christmas and would love to accessorize it.

Hi there! This is probably too late for you if this was a Christmas gift, but I just got back from vacation in Florida. While there, I visited a DOLLAR store, or 2 or 3 kinds with different names, but same idea, looking for inexpensive decorations. At least two of them had dollhouse furniture. The furnishings were either wood or painted to look like, and were packaged 2 or 3 to a package. I thought at the time that someone who was furnishing a doll house would love to see them, they were nice furniture items. Hope this helps. Happy New Year!
I made a fairy doll house completely from scratch, starting with two large wooden crates.
I made all of the furniture and decor accessories by hand using popsicle sticks, little wooden dowels, cardboard and a glue gun.
Here are 2 items you can make from household items: 1) The white cap from a Scope Mouthwash bottle makes a perfect WASTE BASKET; scruntch up bits of paper to fill it up an place it in corner or next to desk. 2) Paint a used thread spool and an old round compact mirror on top to make an end table to place next to chair.
Do a search for "printable dollhouse furniture" and you'll get lots of hits. Here's one to get you started (I saw kitchen cabinets on this site):

There are quite a few books out there (and probably web sites too!) that show how to make doll furniture out of household objects and recycled containers. We've found quite a bit at dollar stores, but it is hit and miss. What size are you looking for?
You might also want to look at plastic canvas directions for Barbie-sized furniture. I made a few things for my daughter and it wasn't too time intensive. There are quite a few free patterns on the web:

If you have a yahoo email address go to www.freecycle.org and sign up for a group in your area they are all over the country then you can post a want for what you need and may just get it for free. I got my daughter and american girl doll for Christmas for free and they retail at $100.00. GOOD LUCK
Tiffany, some of the larger craft stores should have sales this time of the year on dollhouse furniture. Also try www.miniature.net/
shedrivesz,
We'd love to see a picture of your fairy house. Do you have a picture?

jim's dolhouse pages has printable computer and office supplies in all scales for free. www.printmini.com
I cut out a picture of a tv from a JCpenny xmas catalog or even from a sunday flyer such as best buy and glued it to a Jello box. Free and useful for barbies etc.
Jim's dollhouse printables have a computer in any scale you need.
Does any one know how to make American girl doll furniture and clothes from household items? Please tell me!
I love barbies, thanks for all the helpful tips! Kiarra
I have been trying the same thing so I know how hard it can be.I found a website that has some ideas, they even have toilet, sink, and bathtub. Here is the website if your interested. www.familyfun.com I hope this helps you very much.
It's too bad a person can't find inexpensive doll house furniture anymore. When I was a kid and even in the late 60s-early 70s stores like Woolworths had cheap plastic doll house furniture.
Woolworths! The thought of it made me want to cry! I used to love that store....sigh.
You can print a computer from free printable miniatures. Just fold and glue and you have a very realistic laptop.
