The process of making a dollhouse
is intense and challenging, but it is also really satisfying to see a complete
dollhouse. It takes a lot of patience and hard work to get it done, but if you
are really looking to make a unique dollhouse, you could try setting up
electricity inside and outside it.
Electricity in a doll house adds
to the realism of the house and it contributes to the character, dimension, and
depth of the model. Of course, installing electricity comes with its own
challenges, like dealing with small lights, transformers, and wires, but the
end result is definitely worth it. Before you start, however, here is a list of
things you need to get and keep ready for your project:
- Batteries
- Wall socket
- Wires
- Adhesive tape
- Transformers
- Drill machine
Once you have the above items,
you can start installing electricity in your doll houses. Here are the steps that
can help you through the process:
- If you have multiple stories in your dollhouse, start with the first floor and work your way up
- Once you decide where you want to start the wiring, you can begin attaching the junction slice to the dollhouse. Make sure that the place where you attach it has enough space for the wires to run easily to the junction slice from the transformers.
- Use only good quality adhesives for attaching the wires to avoid a short circuit
- Run the wires along the wall as much as you can so that they can be covered easily
- Once the wiring is completely installed, plug in the transformer to the wall socket and turn on the switch
- Put the load according to the transformer capacity
Install switches and lights as
per your requirement. Once that is done, switch them on to check if you got the
desired effect from your electricity arrangement.
For a less stressful time
installing electricity in your doll houses, you can follow the tips given below:
- Apply the wallpapers and paintings needed before setting up the wiring
- Avoid touching the adhesive side of top, since it reduces the quality of the adhesive
- Keep the switch off when you are making connections and running tape to avoid a short circuit
