Magazine Rack Scalable DIY Kit for Dollhouse - SVG Cutting Files

 

 

I you like putting together little kits you will enjoy this easy to make Magazine Rack. The file can easily be scaled to 1:24 , 1:12 or even 1:6 scale and the directions here are easy to follow.

After you have downloaded the SVG and PDF File place them on your desktop for easy access.

Open Cricut Design Space and Upload the SVG file. You will find the pieces you need to make the Magazine Rack. The uploaded size is for 1:12 scale, but you can easily scale the file up or down for 1:6 and 1:24 scale. Here is how:

You will see a green square, which is there to help you determine the correct scale. Start by making sure that Cricut is set to inches. With all files still grouped together, grab a corner and drag until the green square measures 1"x1". This will be the scale for 1:12. If you need the files for 1:24 scale drag the grouping until the green square measures 0.5" x 0.5" and double it for 1: 6 scale so that the square measures 2"x2" .

When you drag the entire group all the other files retain the correct size and scale up and down correctly. 

 After you have the correct scale you can either duplicate the pieces or ungroup them to send the files for cutting. Your material needs to be 2mm thick and you can use either Chip board, or several layers of cardstock. I will show you an example using card stock layers glued together to the right thickness.

Cereal box cardboard works well for this project, however you will need at least 3-4 layers which are stacked together. In that case make sure to duplicate the files so you have 3-4 copies of all the pieces.
