Creating a Realistic Plaster Effect

How to mix and apply dolls house plaster.

To ensure my witches dolls house is very robust and will survives for years to come I wanted to coat the outside with a plaster effect. I started with and initial layer of 50% pva glue and 50% ready mixed wall filler, mix both together until they are smooth and there are no lumps. I applied a thin coat with an old brush all over the outside and the inside of the dolls house. Applying it to both the inside and outside ensures your house will not warp.

Once this initial coat was completely dry, I left it over night. I then mixed a thicker mixture of 20% pva glue and 80% wall filler and spread this all over the outside of the house. I used a palette knife as I wanted a thick layer. I also applied it to the ceilings and any wall I did not intend to wallpaper.
