Preparing the DIY Dollhouse Furniture

Start by preparing the unfinished wood dollhouse furniture for painting. If you have new pieces, you can skip this step, but if you’re working with old or unfinished furniture that is rough feeling, follow these steps:

• Sand the Surface: Use fine-grit sandpaper to smooth out any rough edges or surfaces. After sanding, wipe away any dust with a Lysol wipe.
• When using Chalk Couture chalk paste it is not necessary to apply a primer before you start painting.

Apply the Right Paint To Dollar Tree Dollhouse Furniture DIY

Selecting the right paint is crucial for a successful painting project. I prefer chalk paste because it’s a non toxic choice and easy to use for dollhouse furniture. Consider the following:

• Chalk Paste: Ideal for beginners, no sanding required, quick-drying, and easy to clean up with water. It offers a wide range of colors and finishes.

Water down your Chalk Couture chalk paste to create a paint.

Apply two even coats of the watered down chalk paste. Let the paste dry between each coat of chalk paste.
