DinkyDigs Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 I've seen a few posts about this. It never occurred to me to use fabric on the walls. What did occur to me was to photograph fabric and print out the pictures of it on card stock. It works great! I make lots of doll clothes and have an extensive fabric stash! One of these days I'll sort through it all and photograph the lot of it! Since I started playing dollhouses my poor big dolls are being neglected!

Shy Spirit Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 Maybe your big dolls would like to play dollhouses too! They can help the dollhouse dolls - they can reach to dust the attic, or carry the furniture around to rearrange it. If they're involved, they won't feel jealous. (I'm only half kidding.)

More Minis Dollhouses Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 Ive seen a few posts about this too. Im going to have to find them again because Im seriously thinking about trying it out. Fabric comes in so many in scale pretty prints, way more than paper does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caseymini Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 I used fabric for wallpaper in my very first room box many years ago. I didn't have access to mini wallpaper at the time. For me, it is easier to use than paper. It is more forgiving and easier to get straight. It also comes in so many patterns. Whenever I can't find a mini paper I like, I go straight to the fabric stash. It can be used with just about any kind of glue and no problems with bubbling like wallpaper.

Shy Spirit Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 Do you seal the fabric once it's applied? If not, does it catch dust, or become discoloured over time? I've wondered about trying it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caseymini Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 I usually put it on with diluted white glue. I think that kind of acts as a sealer. If you look at the unusual container section of my gallery you can see in the speaker box that is a kitchen, fabric that was installed back in the early 80s. It is still as bright and new as when I installed it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shy Spirit Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 Casey, I just took a delightful meander through your unusual containers album - beautiful work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
More Minis Dollhouses Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 Casey does the diluted white glue seep through the fabric and changes the color in any way? Since Mod Podge is like diluted glue, will it work okay? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 Didn't Michele use Mod Podge to hang the red brocade fabric in her Maggie's diningroom? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
