 Additional Tips for Success:

• Scaling: Always double-check that your scale is correct before cutting. This ensures all the pieces will fit together seamlessly.

• Patience: When working with small pieces, take your time during the assembly to avoid errors.

• Personalization: Don’t hesitate to personalize these pieces with your favorite fabric patterns, colors, and trims to match your dollhouse style.

 Common Mistakes to Avoid:

• Incorrect Cutting Material: Make sure you’re using the right type of chipboard or material that suits your cutting machine, and has the right thickness.

• Overusing Glue: A little glue goes a long way. Too much can cause pieces to slip or warp. And make sure to allow for ample dry time for your glue to properly set.
