Are you looking to create a Maileg mouse house but don't know where to start? Don't want to spend too much money on the house? Or perhaps space is at a premium? Then how about creating your Maileg mouse house from a very basic and inexpensive Ikea shelf? Here's my guide on how to transform an Ikea dolls house shelf into a stunning home for your Maileg mice.
At the time of writing the Ikea Flisat doll's house/shelf costs £29. It comes flat packed and is really easy to put together. Seriously, if I can do it, anyone can! You just need a screwdriver. Everything else is provided.
The dimensions of the house are: Width: 58 cm Depth: 22 cm Height: 59 cm. It is divided into four sections so you can create four different rooms, such as a kitchen, living room, bedroom and bathroom. Or perhaps you might prefer to include a nursery for your baby mice and My Rabbits.
In my house I left out the dividing wall on the ground floor in order to create an open plan kitchen/living area.
So now we have built the house, the next step is to decorate. We'll cover this in part 2 of our Ikea Flisat Mouse House Hack.
