I'm excited to share my experience with the Flever DIY dollhouse kit named 'Provence Lavender', which was gifted to me by my friend Lawanda. As my first DIY dollhouse project, I'm looking forward to the challenge. This kit is approximately half scale (1:24).
Upon opening the kit, I discovered a comprehensive collection of materials including various bags filled with different components. The kit appears complete, though it's worth noting that if any pieces are missing, finding replacements at craft stores, Walmart, hardware stores, or dollar stores is relatively straightforward. The kit contains an assortment of materials such as paper, beads, wire, fabric trim, fabric swatches, and floral elements. To manage these effectively, I recommend organizing accessories in a compartmentalized tray while keeping wooden furniture and dollhouse parts in their original packaging.
The dollhouse's structural components are constructed from robust 3/4" medium density fiberboard (MDF), with pre-painted exterior sides designed to mimic siding. Wooden elements like window frames, trim, staircase parts, balcony railings, and furniture pieces come pre-finished and ready for assembly.
While the instructions are primarily in Chinese with limited English translation, the detailed full-color photographs provide an excellent visual guide for the construction process. Some kits include a website link for instructions translated into English. Your mobile phone may also be able to translate languages using its camera.
