Flever Paris Gift Store — Dollhouse Miniature DIY House Kit

Paris Gift Store is three narrow floors of shopfront: a striped awning over the ground-level window, bay windows stacked above it, and a pale stone facade that we print in two tones so the mouldings read from across the room. Inside, every floor is furnished as a separate little room.

This is a patient build rather than a hard one. The facade panels are the fiddly part, and the trick is to let each floor set properly before you stack the next one. The shop sign is a transfer, so you can line it up slowly and nobody will ever know how long it took you.

It sits at the lower end of this shelf of 10 dollhouse kits, and it is in stock as we write this.

A dollhouse is a story told in rooms, so Paris Gift Store starts as a drawing of the building and ends as a dozen boxes of loose parts — flowers for the garden, crockery for the shelves, a lamp for every landing. We build this miniature house kit once on our own bench before the first DIY kit leaves the workshop.
