Green Works #3 Dollhouse In a Shoebox

Monday, 29 September 2008 16:46 by lilly

A friend found this amazing work of art on a foreign website. It's hard to believe that this entire 3 bedroom unit is built inside a shoe box, with all recycled material from used fabric to newspaper and magazine ads.  I'd like to share the following with all of you, either you love dollhouse, or crafts work, or care about the planet. Please read on to see a lot of close ups. Enjoy!

Again, the flat panel is an ad on newspaper.

This miniature plant is from a used silk flower. The planter? A toothpaste cap wrapped by a chocolate paper cup!

 Glass without bottom. Why? That's a straw tip.

Water dispenser, hehe. Water container is an eye drop bottle. How about stools? Tiolet paper wrapped by winkled color tissue.
