Halloween 2021 is almost here!! 🎃 We make lots of DIY Halloween Decorations and Props for our house and our new project is a Victorian haunted dollhouse makeover! Inspired by The Addams Family house, this Halloween DIY is the perfect addition to your holiday decor. We start with a thrifted dollhouse that we found at Goodwill®, and take you step-by-step how to transform it into a spooky miniature Victorian mansion complete with glowing jack-o-lanterns, demon kitty cats, and an animated ghost that wanders the top balcony.

The great thing about this project is that you can use these techniques to renovate any dolls house. If you'd like to make your very own DIY halloween haunted dollhouse, we encourage you to give this easy Halloween project a try!

MATERIALS USED:
Dollhouse (we used a thrifted Fisher Price Loving Family dollhouse)

Thanks for watching! You're all awesome. Have a great Halloween!

That turned out cool, however I do have a couple of suggestions, little strips of cheese cloth for straggly beat up old curtains and maybe some bats that you can find at the dollar tree, they're bags of bat rings and skull rings, just cut off the ring part. You can attach them with thin wire so that they're flying around or just glue them to the surface.

That fence on the rooftop is called a widows walk. Old homes on the east coast have them because when husbands would go out to sea and didnt return. their wives would go up top the roof and look out for ships. Hence the widows walk. They are cool and Im glad you made one. Awesome work !!!

[fawntheresa]

A widow's walk, also known as a widow's watch or roofwalk, is a railed rooftop platform often having an inner cupola/turret frequently found on 19th-century North American coastal houses. Even creepier right? This was great! Thank you for sharing so early so I had the pleasure of watching while getting ready for work

I get to play with real Victorian homes owned by clients, and I have to say that you did a pretty good job with this! BTW the "creepy fence" on the rooftop is called "cresting." If the rooftop is accessible, it is a "widow's walk, " often seen in ocean-front properties where the wives of sailors and sea captains would watch for their husbands' ships to return. But cresting was also placed atop non-accessible rooflines just as a decorative feature. The video inside that upper window is BRILLIANT!
I also love the trees. After spending all day restoring old homes, now I need to go find a dollhouse to defile. Thank you for the inspiration.

I actually had this exact doll house when I was little until I was 10, it's weird being 16 now and seeing all those memories get painted.

[BewitchCraft]

My dream project as a crafter is to make an old haunted victorian dollhouse. I enjoy making miniatures, I wanna furnish the inside and outside by hand. I just unfortunately live in an apartment and don't have the space to start a project that big to work on throughout the year or keep it afterward. So I must vicariously live through this. ITS AWESOME!

[Villager]

I got lucky and found that exact dollhouse along with a castle and a forest with a stone ape and waterfall at the goodwill. My snakes absolutely love them! Got to make sure it's safe for them before I try and paint them myself. Thanks for the great ideas!

[angelbookwalter]

So, my hubby stopped at our local Goodwill and he brought home this exact house for $10!! So super excited!! Great find and awesome inspiration!!

[rupsahaldarsthelaymanschan]

That lil girl has got perfectly cool parents.. ♥️

[astrid]

It turned out amazing! I love the spooky effect video as the final touch. I think my favourite part has to be those jack-o-lanterns. Such a neat idea, and incredibly effective.

[seasonseatings]

That looks amazing! You could have written "beware, " "condemned" or "keep out" on the boards to add to the creep factor. Great job!

[woofy]

the ghost on the window (tablet ) is truly awesome and very much alive in the house display...my fave togather with the litted pumpkin

[bitchenboutique]

I love this so much!!! I feel like you guys are like me, where every time you see a thing in a store (especially a thrift store), your minds immediately go to alternate uses for it. I rarely use things as they were intended! It’s always “bet I could stick a plant in that” or “that would cast crazy shadows on Halloween!”

[alexthelegoguy]

I have no use for a haunted doll house. But! Now I have an uncontrollable urge to now attempt this!

Amazing job! Absolutely stunning!

[EzeePosseTV]

Some tinted/smokey see-thru plastic made into broken windows and glass shards to add to the windows to break up the purple for more effect would finish this off nicely.

[NicoleLynn]

I have this exact doll house in my daughters closet, been in there for 7 years 😆. I think I want to do this and set it in front of my fire place. 😁 hummmm. Off to the dollar tree 😆

[kenmakozume]

I used to have that old doll house. Just seeing that brought back so much memories, I feel old now. Amazing transformation by the way!

[Sabrina-wney]

That was the best redo of one of these dollhouses I have seen. I am constantly seeing these dollhouses on the side of the road. I think I might collect them to make a village. Super cute idea for my favorite holiday.

[Lalalooooooopsielex]

I had that playhouse when I was younger. It’s crazy to see how you changed it. Talent.
