I love a DIY Christmas gift that the kids can join in on the making. And this shoe box dollhouse is just that. Simple, budget friendly and packed with lots of handmade fun.

This project is part of a collaborative effort to spread the love of handmade gifts with 11 other crafty makers. From December 9th to December 20th, each crafter will post a different DIY gift on instagram in a different color to form a beautiful rainbow, (I was tasked with blush pink) so make sure to check us all out in our feeds and our stories! @damasklove @darcymiller @aliceandlois @houselarsbuilt @corriebethmakes @thussfarrell @mer_mag

@handmadecharlotte @sayyesblog @robert_mahar @supermakeit @amandakingloff Working with the humble shoe box has been a crafting staple throughout the ages. It’s reminiscent of my childhood and all the diorama’s we’d make as kids in shoes boxes. So much creativity.  I’ve made shoebox houses as adult as well in the past and wanted to create an updated version with Miss M. We had so much fun decorating and painting for her little felt friends. And now we want to make a whole village!
