Rolife(Dora's Loft) - Dollhouse with Furniture Wooden Miniature House Kit DIY Dora's Loft

I don't know if the person who designed this DIY is a professional miniaturest or if they never actually tried to do this themselves, but there is a lot of parts to this house that you will just torture yourself if you actually try to do it the way the steps tell you to. Building complex links with 8mm long tiny wires for example, or building complex baskets or railings by trying to glue wires together. Seriously have you tried gluing 2 wires together? They don't hold. It doesn't work. The glue they give you is strong, but it leaves strings of glue and sometimes they attach to tiny little parts that haven't hardened yet and it can ruin your work when you accidentally pull them apart. Not an easy, fun, do it in a couple afternoons sort of assembly.

I cannot get over how adorable these models are! This model arrived in perfect condition, the instructions are clear, and it's just a lot of fun to pass the time with.

Just discovered these sort of puzzles. Although I think the remind me of model car kits. A sweet young friend (20ish) loves a good puzzle and when I saw this particular one it looked like a place she’d be living. As it turns out she loved it and wishes it was. It included everything she needed to put it together. Fun project if you are looking for a fresh take on ‘puzzles’

Pros: Pretty easy to assemble. Instructions were not detailed but they were understandable. Lots of room for customization. I painted the shelf, used my own scrapbook paper for the floor and pictures, used paint on the tree and made little "apples" from the left over paper. I ended up not gluing the final peices down so that my daughter could play with it.Cons: all but the white clay was dried out. I was able to use the white clay with paint to make up for that. Lots of wire work. I recommend buying a 3 in 1 jewelry plier tool. I left off the winding rose trellis.Tips: fold the paper before you cut it out. Dont use force to get the thin wood out, use the exacto knife to cut the little notches. Use a file to smooth sides before gluing together for a better fit.Tools needed: 3 in 1 pliers, wire cutter, exato knife with lots of extra blades, cutting mat, sharp scissors, needle and thread, ruler, nail fileIt comes with glue and tweezer but I recommend buying a stronger set of tweezers.Overall lots of fun

I had so much fun putting this together! Must have patience and attention to detail but not overly complicated. It’s very easy to stray from the directions and make the items look however you want them too or place them wherever you prefer! This kit DOES NOT come with its own glue, I highly recommend using a permanent tacky glue in addition to a precision tip super glue pen. I went through 4 or 5 super glue pens to complete the project so I suggest buying more than one. There is also NO paint supplied so I used my own white acrylic paint. I also recommend having on hand; pliers, beading pliers, a ruler, sharp small scissors, tweezers, a white sharpie paint pen, a black fine tip sharpie, a glue pad, double sided tape, normal tape, a small bowl to hold tiny pieces while working, a needle and white sewing string, and a lighter for the heat shrinkable tubing. Finally, I suggest making the figures that use the air dry clay in one sitting to prevent the clay from drying out while you aren’t using it. It is also very easy to get glue finger prints on the transparent sheets and glass bottles so be sure your hands are clean before handling them. This one took me three weeks to complete after working on it for only several hours in a day. In the end, it’s a super cute house that impresses everyone I show!
