Bend the wire in half and pass through the rod. From above to the wire fasten the lampshade, from below to the lid - to give stability to the floor lamp. The cap can be decorated with a lace skirt. As a stand, instead of a rod, you can use beads by passing a wire through them. In this case, we also decorate the lamp shade with beads.

For the manufacture of chandeliers, we need a small capacity. You can use measuring cups for drugs, disposable plastic stacks, the most simple candles in a metal case.

To decorate the chandelier you will need strips of lace, thin strips of satin ribbon. They need to glue the plastic base of the chandelier. The metal body can not even decorate, get an original chandelier. In the base of the container that was used, we fix the LED if you thought out a house with real lighting. Suspended to the ceiling. The method of attachment to the ceiling will depend on the materials from which the house is made.

Thus, you can make lights in any room of your dollhouse.

For the manufacture of the kitchen will be convenient to use small boxes. If there are no such boxes, it will be necessary to make them out of cardboard. Make it a snap. Convenient to use will be if the boxes are glued together, making a single structure.

If the kitchen has built-in cabinets, then we glue a sheet of cardboard on the back wall of the cabinets, onto which we paste these cabinets. It is possible to strengthen the structure by gluing long flat sticks to the sheet of cardboard on the back side. In the boxes must be cut through the doors of the lockers.

To design our kitchen, we use self-adhesive paper, or any other beautiful paper. Pasting cabinets, with the help of wire and beads we make them handles. The tap can be made of wire, the mixer handles of small beads. For the sink fit a deep lid. It is attached to the tabletop. Rings of a plate can be made of buttons. You can decorate the space between the cabinets in the form of a tiled apron. To do this, find a suitable image on the Internet and print it.
