ShandiMarie Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 (edited) I'm on the beginning stages of my third dollhouse, first with electricity!! Anyways, I'm obsessed with building dollhouses and am so excited to get some good tips, tricks and ideas from my fellow miniature-lovers!!

KathieB Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 Welcome to the forum, Shandi. Will you be electrifying the Orchid? Tape wire or round wire? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suggest you watch this video on Dollhouse Wiring Made Easy by Linda Becker. It's worth watching the wiring section a few times. It's a bit repetitious, but it will help you feel one with the electricity, as we used to say back in the 60s. She does a good job with the basics and includes a bit where round wire and tape wire combine to make a connection. While your house will not be exactly like hers, the principles are laid out very nicely for you to adapt. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
