Looking for a few extra dollhouse magazines or other small paper accessories?
They're here. All you need here is a printer, scissors, and glue.
"The Story of Barbie" Mini Magazine
Scale: 1/6
Materials: color printer & glue
​​
Here's another magazine for you guys, a very abridged version of "The Story of Barbie" magazine that I bought around the time of the Barbie movie release. This printable has 3 loose turnable pages. Some of the pages feature early 90s Barbies, the Mad Men vintage inspired dolls, Ryan Gosling, and a Bratz doll, a 2010s era Millie on the front cover and a glam 2000s era GG on the back.

Custom Magazines
Scale: 1/6
Materials: photo editing app (even MSPaint will do), color printer, & glue
​
Need some extra doll-sized reading material? Here are a few templates to print some REAL Barbie magazines I've photographed and edited together and a blank template for you to design your own. Just paste your images onto the empty template and print.

​
Blank Template PNG
​
Open the PNG file in a photo editing app (MSPaint comes preinstalled on PCs). The images you want for your magazine should have a 3:4 ratio, like a standard size vertical photo. Resize your images first based on the template instructions page OR resize the images directly in your photo editing app. Type a title over your cover page image and print the file in landscape mode. Cut and glue as described on the template instructions page.
​
If the magazines are printing the wrong size (there is a one inch guide on the page), you may need to print from a different program or save your file to a PDF and print the PDF version.

Shoeboxes
Scale: 1/6
Materials: color printer, cardstock to print onto, & glue
​​
Inspired by the Licca Closet series gashapon, here is a printable version of my own custom Licca-chan shoebox, a couple of Barbie boxes, and one for Fashion Royalty. The boxes should be able to hold a pair of high heels or other small shoes but not boots. I decided to use the "adjacent" prints in the DIY video, but I've also included versions with real brand logos on them.

Miniverse Inspired Wallpapers
Scale: 1/24 ...ish
Materials: color printer, foam board, & glue
​​
Just when I considered buying one of these rooms I thought, wait, I can make similar patterns in Photoshop. So here are some 20cm Miniverse Ice Cream Shop inspired printables. There are 3 versions of each wallpaper to choose from: plain, with door frame, and with pink paneling. Does anyone remember when Pop Mart used to make little rooms like these? I have a few of them myself, so it seemed fitting that I include some Pop Mart stuff in the craft photo.
