Make your own Mouse Mansion

Discover how to build, furnish and decorate your own miniature world — from a simple cardboard box to a fully furnished Mouse Mansion.

Where do I start?

It's easier than you think!

Building your own Mouse Mansion is simple — all you need is a cardboard box and some creativity. Follow these four steps to get started.

1

Choose a box

Any cardboard box will do. A shoe box, wine box or even a moving box — the bigger the box, the bigger your mansion!

2

Wallpaper & floors

Print our free wallpaper designs or paint the walls yourself. Use popsicle sticks for floorboards — suddenly it looks like a real room!

3

Make furniture

Build tiny chairs, tables and beds from recycled materials — matchboxes, bottle caps, wooden beads and more.

4

Add the details

Tiny books, lamps, paintings, clay food and flowers — these finishing touches bring your rooms to life. This is where the magic happens!
