I was such a dollhouse girl as a kid. My dad made me a huge one that my mom helped decorate for me. And it got great use – because I think I was playing with Barbies until I was like 13. But there’s nothing I loved more as a kid that a little themed Polly Pocket house in the clam shell cases. I loved (and still do) anything teeny tiny! So after making sooo many pumpkin projects over the years, I finally made a little DIY Halloween Pumpkin House. And my dollhouse loving inner child is feeling pretty good about it! This little pumpkin house can sit on my shelf every Halloween and I can add little details and decor to it each year! I think this thing is going to give me joy for years to come! Next year I think I need to cut out TINY little bats to go on the walls like I decorate with at my house. What else should I add to the space?!
Even if you weren’t big into dollhouses like me – this was so silly and fun and just kind of therapeutic to make. I think anyone would enjoy it! And it just looks so darn cute sitting out on the shelf with the other Halloween decor!
