1. Cut the cardboard tube in half horizontally​. Tape it over the milk carton cap. This is the chimney of the dollhouse.

3. Cut the piece that you cut out in step 2 to the same size as the bottom of the carton. Take that piece and tape it to the inside of the carton, around the middle, to form two floors in the dollhouse.
