These stairs are great for dollhouses and other small projects.

I was a little bit surprised to find out that one of my sub projects has turned out to be very popular. It is how to make stairs or a staircase out of cardboard. This is part of my cardboard tudor dollhouse . And people frequently visit this particular part of that tutorial.

I have broken this out into a unique and distinct tutorial. Now you can learn how to quickly and easily make cardboard stairs for whatever project you are working on whether it be a dollhouse or something else.

Start by making two of the stair wall sections. They are 8x8 inches and each step is one inch square. There will be no need to double layer these.

Glue on the stair tops. they are one inch by three inches.

It looks good.

Next we add the vertical sections of the stairs. these are flexible in their size but they are not three inches wide because they fit inside the stairs. Cut eight of these piece and start with one inch by three inches then trim them to size as needed.

And glue those vertical pieces on the inside of the stairwell. This will give the stairs their best look.

Okay. The stair is done.
