Thatched Roof For the Dollhouse

I put the thatched roof on the cottage dollhouse. It's really looking like a fairytale house now.
 The little side bay has bricks that are all crooked. I saw this in one of my French magazines. I thought it was too cute!
 All the roof whimsical curves are reinforced with concrete. This house is as sturdy as a real one!
Thatching a roof is hard, I have to admit. It's very dirty and sticky! And for a girl who like to have clean hands, it was a challenge!  Thi roof still needs to be trimmed and detailed.  It looks a little wild right now! I did put one window in on the side. I'm glad I didn't decide to put all the windows in. It would have made things harder.

  16. This is a very creative idea for a dollhouse roof! Thatching a miniature roof sounds like a very detailed and intricate project. While I can see from the post that it was a bit challenging, the finished product must look amazing. I'd love to see a picture of the completed dollhouse with the thatched roof! In the post, you mentioned the challenges with keeping the straw clean and manageable. Do you have any recommendations for those who might want to try this project themselves?
