Electrifying A Dollhouse

Cost - $5.00

Starting June 1st, 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 can then practice making electrical connections using the store's tools and supplies until you feel comfortable!  You'll learn how to attach the lead-in wire to the transformer, how 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 - 60 minutes.  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!).

Hold Your Hand Workshop

$15/Hour - 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)*.

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)
