Home Made
Transform an old dollhouse into a beautiful holiday vignette.
Overview
A snowy dollhouse makes a magical holiday focal point. Refurbish an old dollhouse that could use some sprucing up, or finish a doll house made of raw wood. Both will look fantastic after a fresh coat of paint applied with a Flexio sprayer and SMART Edge Roller.
Prep the dollhouse
Cover any areas, like windows, that you do not want covered with paint
Prime the dollhouse
If your dollhouse comes in a raw wood finish, spray on Zinsser 1-2-3 primer before spraying with the latex paint.
**Pro tip: Make sure to use cup liners to make switching paints a breeze.**
Spray the inside
Spray in a smooth, even manner, making sure to get into all the nooks and crannies.
Spray the outside
Finish spraying the outside of the dollhouse, preparing it for paint.
Add rustic brown accenting
To get the rustic brown accenting, load a SMART Edge Roller with acrylic paint. Roll over the surfaces of the house and roof.
Wipe away excess
Wipe away excess paint with a dry rag.
Let dry and display
Let dry thoroughly, accessorize with holiday decorations and display -creating a festive holiday scene.
