Miniature Doll's Furnishings from Egg Cartons

       To make modern looking dollhouse furniture like mine you will need the following supplies: a paper egg carton, white school glue, decorative paper, Mod Podge,  a recycled toilet paper roll and scrap fabric for the seat cushions. Many detailed photos are shown below.

Egg carton furniture is first decoupaged before the padded chair seats and cushions for the sofa
 are made. I chose modern scrapbook paper designs to cover the doll seating along with some
 solid yellow and purple tissue paper.
