Making flooring for a large dollhouse
This dollhouse is very large, so I needed to come up with a reasonably priced method for creating flooring. I found bamboo place-mats at the dollar store and they were held together with string...cut the strings, and you have thin bamboo strips. Perfect!
I cut them in various lengths and glued them (Elmer's wood glue!) on thick cardboard to the size of the room. The pattern is random on a diagonal. I decided to use a dark stain (Minwax Gel - Walnut colour) and high gloss to finish it off. This floor is 23" x 14".
