$100, includes 4-room 1" scale dollhouse kit, glue, housebody paint color (student's choice), and instructor's time. We will be assembling the kit during this class. Students must sign up at least one week in advance. If student wishes to paint kit before assembling, necessary pieces and paint must be picked up at least a week before the class so that student has enough time to paint. Otherwise, the house may be painted after assembly if any time remains after class on class day. Raw wood shingles are provided. Shingle Dye, stain, and extra paint available at additional cost. If desired, electrical and wallpapering classes for this dollhouse will be offered for additional fee(s). |
Next Class: Whenever you stop by the store! |

Our electrification classes are scheduled around your time! Call first to verify that Lori will be available when you want to visit the store and she will explain and demonstrate how to electrify a dollhouse plus various other electrical techniques. You'll see how to attach the lead-in wire to the transformer, where to install the junction splice, how to complete the wiring runs throughout a dollhouse, and how to install light fixtures. Demonstration and explanation will take approximately 30 minutes. For $5, you are welcome to stay and play with the tools and practice board for as long you'd like (or at least until closing time!). You can then practice making electrical connections using the store's tools and supplies until you feel comfortable! |

$15/Hour ($25/Hour if kit or materials were purchased elsewhere) - Scheduled Appointments Available |
Get that dollhouse kit out of the attic or closet! Schedule an appointment to help you finish that miniature project or dollhouse. Assembly, electrifying, kit-bashing, landscaping, or wallpapering - you bring the supplies and you do the work, we provide the knowledge and an extra pair of hands! Intimidated by that big box kit or that half-decorated house? We’ll get you started and give you the knowledge/motivation to finish! No appointments will be made for the month of December. Appointments scheduled by the full hour ($15 per hour if kit and/or materials are purchased thru Happily Ever After; $25/hour if kit/dollhouse and/or materials were purchased elsewhere)*. Visit the store so we can discuss what supplies you’ll need and how much time you may want to schedule! *No punch-out plywood kits (i.e. Corona, Duracraft, or Greenleaf kits) |
