How to make a wooden toy house. How to make a house with rooms for dolls with your own hands. Houses from bookshelves and cabinets

The dream of any girl is a big beautiful dollhouse, equipped with all interior items, a very expensive pleasure.

Not everyone can buy it in the store.

However, you can make a dollhouse with your own hands, and if you involve your daughter in the process, then working together will bring pleasure to the whole family.

Housing options for dolls

In order to start manufacturing, you must first resolve the issue with the dimensions and material of the future design. Then draw up a house project, make drawings for sawing or cutting out, think over and select materials for finishing, consider options for fastening and installing the entire structure. It is important that it be stable and able to withstand small "shocks".

The size will depend on the height of the dolls that will "live" there, as well as on the possibilities of the room. After all, an apartment for half a room will take up too much space, limiting the hostess.

At the same time, a very small design will be more difficult to manufacture and finish, because working with small details is not easy.

For ease of use, the height of the ceilings is set at the level of twice the height of the doll, then it will be easy to move it around the rooms and install it inside. Higher ceilings are welcome, they will make the game even more interesting.

The depth of the rooms is determined based on the growth of the dolls and the need for free space for items inside the house. On average, it is 30-45 centimeters, but it can be more. The width is calculated based on the number of rooms for dolls and the volume of the room.

The shape of the house usually resembles a rectangle, elongated in height or width, it all depends on the manufacturer's imagination. For a large structure, you can use furniture wheels that are screwed from the bottom and make it easy to move the doll housing to any place.

You can create a project on paper or, using modern technology, in a computer program that will automatically calculate the amount of materials needed for the building.

An example of a standard dollhouse project:

In many ways, the size depends on the material, since not every raw material is able to keep its shape and withstand the load. Let's try to consider houses from different materials.

Plywood or laminate

Plywood is a very good choice for making a dollhouse. It holds its shape well, is strong enough, and is easily fastened with glue or self-tapping screws. It is convenient to work with it using standard tools, only after completion of work it is advisable to clean it with sandpaper to make it smoother.

It is convenient to decorate plywood with paper or cloth, and besides, it is durable. Laminate has similar properties, which is also often used to create a doll apartment.

An example of a dollhouse diagram:

To create you will need:

laminate or plywood, with a thickness of at least 7 mm;
PVA glue, it can be replaced with carpentry;
jigsaw;
remnants of wallpaper that will be used to decorate walls, furniture, and you can use self-adhesive film for the floor;
pencil for making notes;
tape measure or centimeter.

The manufacturing process consists of the following steps:

Sawing the wall of the plywood structure according to the dimensions in the drawing.
Selection of places where windows, doors will be located, sawing them out.
Assemble the structure with wood glue or small nails.
Roof construction and design. The roof of the house can be covered with corrugated cardboard and painted, thus imitating tiles.
Fastening the structure to the base is a piece of plywood that is slightly larger. This is necessary to give the structure greater stability and the possibility of additional decor. For example, on a wide surface in front of the house, you can organize a veranda or flower beds.
Decorating the inside and outside of walls and floors. Sometimes it is more convenient to paste over the inner walls before assembling the house, then the joints will not be visible, but in this case it is important not to make large overlaps, violating the proportions of the structure.
Arrangement of furniture.
Interior decoration with small details: curtains, rugs, tablecloths and more.

An example of a step-by-step construction of a house in the photo (instructions for dad):

Project Marking the future house Drilling Drilling Finishing with a file Putty Sanding Finished walls Painting Painted parts Marking for fasteners Assembly Assembly Finished construction Interior Balcony Room

Plasterboard layouts

Drywall is also a popular material because of its strength and cheapness, because it often remains after repairs in the form of small pieces that have nowhere to attach. The Barbie house is perfect for this. However, it is harder to fasten it, the glue does not fit well here, for it it will be necessary to align the cut points to reduce the consumption of funds.

Self-tapping screws twisted into metal corners will be more effective. But they will need to be taken in small sizes or then sawed off the tips sticking out from the outside.

The scheme of working with drywall is similar to the construction of plywood, the same tools are needed for it. Therefore, you can use the scheme above.

Styrofoam

This material is also from the category of budget, remaining after the purchase of household appliances or other goods. Its only drawback is fragility, so you should work with the foam carefully.

For work you will need:

foam, preferably in large sheets;
toothpicks, bamboo sticks (leftover from sushi sets);
glue gun;
several wooden rulers;
corrugated cardboard;
remnants of wallpaper;
foam sponge;
remnants of ceiling moldings;
accessories for interior design.

We present the manufacturing process in stages:

Project development, drawing up a drawing.
Cutting the foam according to the drawing, it is better to do this with a hot knife, then the foam will crumble less.
Cutting future windows, doorways.
Assembly. To do this, you will need toothpicks that need to be broken in half, fasten pieces of foam plastic with them, apply glue between them and press tightly.
The ceiling and floor are also glued with a glue gun, only to strengthen the structure they need to be strengthened. For this, bamboo sticks are used, which are glued to the foam in the form of transverse beams.
An interfloor staircase is built separately, it is made of wooden rulers or the same foam, and the railings are made of toothpicks or bamboo sticks. After that, the finished one is glued into the structure.
Making a roof, the material for which can be foam or corrugated cardboard.
Finishing the outside includes painting the entire building with acrylic paint, which is conveniently applied with a foam sponge with light tangential movements. Outside, a balcony can be made, which is assembled in the same way as a staircase.
Finishing from the inside, pieces of wallpaper and colored paper are used for it, window sills and other interior details can be cut out of the ceiling plinth. Curtains, carpets, small decorations will add comfort to the design.
Arrangement of furniture, settlement.

Bookshelf or rack

It is not at all necessary to purchase materials for making a home for dolls, sometimes it is enough to use interior items that are no longer in use. So, an old bookshelf or cabinet may well become a home for Monster High or a little princess.

At the same time, the amount of work will be minimal: it will only be necessary to repair the back wall of the house and equip the internal contents. Details such as the roof and chimney for a structure against a wall can generally be drawn or depicted with duct tape.

Old locker or chest of drawers

Dusty in the attic or in the basement, old bedside tables, chests of drawers, wooden cabinets can also be used in business. They are much better for larger dolls and require minimal processing.

Internal shelves, drawers can be removed, thus creating large rooms. Or, conversely, add partitions between high ceilings to match the height of the dolls used. And of course, finishing, which will give the product a finished look.

Cardboard

The popularity of cardboard is understandable, it is inexpensive, easy to assemble, and always available. True, this design is short-lived, since the cardboard breaks and tears. Therefore, it is better to use corrugated cardboard, which is used for packaging.

A house from it is assembled quickly and easily from improvised materials:

corrugated cardboard itself;
finishing elements;
fabrics and more.

Tools that will be needed in the work:

drawings, part templates;
knife, brushes, paints, pencils, felt-tip pens;
glue gun;
ruler and others.

Photo diagram: The assembly process is simple and similar to other designs, but the cardboard has some features: it bends easily, so you need to carefully crush it. It is better to fasten with glue, while the edges are not cut off, but are bent inward and act as a fastening element.

To properly bend the cardboard in this place, you need to draw something pointed, but not cutting through, for example, a pencil. A groove is formed along which the material will easily bend.

It is better to cut out details like windows with a clerical knife along the marked lines.

boxes

Cardboard boxes are the easiest way to assemble a dollhouse for a girl. To do this, you need to go to the back door of the nearest store and pick up boxes that are close in size. This will make it faster and easier to assemble the house.

Then you need to fasten together with glue or double-sided tape. Cut windows and create a setting. Exterior decoration can also be made from boxes, for example, a balcony or terrace.

fabric

A fabric house is a good option for a small space, as it can be folded up and put away for a while. To make it, you will need a dense fabric with various patterns and the ability to sew.

The design is assembled from fabric according to the scheme. Each element is sewn separately, then turned inside out and fastened into a single house. To seal the walls, you can use cardboard or a plastic mesh that is placed inside, they will not allow the walls to bend, and will make the whole product more durable. However, a house with cardboard cannot be washed.

How to make a staircase for a house or a castle?

The stairs in the doll house are one of the most difficult elements, a real task for dad. The easiest way to make it out of cardboard or foam. The first can simply be bent into the desired position, and then reinforced with intermediate parts using the same foam.

A wooden staircase can be made from two rulers and several blocks. On the rulers, at regular intervals, small cuts should be made, into which steps from small pieces of wood are inserted at an angle of about 45 degrees, which are attached with glue to one and immediately to the second ruler. Wide rulers can act as railings.

Styrofoam stairs can be cut from a piece if a large enough block is available. It is placed at an angle and the steps are cut with a hot knife. Real craftsmen can build a staircase from wooden blocks according to special drawings.

Examples of stairs in the photo:

Interior design - toy furniture and decor

Interior design is a real holiday for a girl, so you should invite her to help in interior design and furniture making. The latter can also be very diverse. The most affordable option is cardboard.

For decoration, everything that is available in the house will go:

remnants of wallpaper;
pieces of fabric;
beads;
artificial flowers;
toothpicks;
cardboard boxes and more.

It all depends on the imagination of the manufacturer. Beautiful curtains, bedspreads, tablecloths, even paintings on the walls can be made independently. This will not take much time, but it will give pleasure and help to involve the girl in housework and sewing.

Lighting

It seems almost impossible to make lighting in the house, because connecting to the network and having wires is far from safe. Especially if the dwelling is made of wood or cardboard. In the event of a short circuit, a fire may occur.

However, there is a simple safe solution - small battery-powered LED bulbs. Their tension is very small, and the fastening is simple - using double-sided tape.

Creating lighting in a doll house:

Making a dollhouse is a fascinating and long process in which not only parents, but also their children should participate. Even a small child can make small parts or hold tools. At the same time, joint work unites, and the acquired skills will be learned by children much faster and the process will be interesting.

Examples of dollhouses in the photo.

Every girl dreams of a house for dolls, for example, Barbie, she wants the house to have a bed for a doll, a table, a chair and even a floor lamp. But it is not necessary to buy everything, because you can do it yourself, and then it will be much more interesting for children to play.

Just today I will tell you how to make a house for dolls with your own hands. In my case, the house will be made of plywood, and anyone who even a little bit owns a hacksaw and a jigsaw can easily repeat it all.

If you are far from such skill, then the doll house can also be made from cardboard, for example, from a large box.

I promised everyone for a long time to show what house my father made for Barbie with his own hands, now you have to guess who I am such a creative mother. I will start just with a house for dolls, and finish with furniture for the house. I'll tell you everything briefly and clearly. And if you have any questions, feel free to ask them in the comments, and I will certainly answer them and help you cope with the task.

Do-it-yourself plywood dollhouse, drawings

To make our own house for dolls measuring 110 cm by 131 cm, we needed two sheets of plywood. Before you cut something, you need to draw everything.
You can take your own dimensions, which are convenient for you, we have a house height without a pediment of 112 cm, a width of 131 cm, and a depth of 30 cm, a height of rooms of 34 cm, passages in the form of an arch are made in the walls.
Of course, if your doll house is made of cardboard, then the dimensions must be significantly reduced, because the design will be unreliable.

To assemble the frame of the house, you need to cut three boards 30 cm wide and 76 cm long from a sheet of plywood, one board 30 cm wide and 110 cm long. The last board of this length, because it will serve as the base of the house, the side a wardrobe for dolls and a library with books, which is why they are longer.

Then you need to cut two boards 112 cm long and 30 cm wide, these will be our box walls.
The back wall of the house and the roof are also made of plywood. All this was cut out with a jigsaw and fastened with a screwdriver and small bolts. I advise you to choose a figure eight for plywood, because it will be difficult to fasten the walls and all other details of the house to a thin one.

When work begins, everything is mixed up in my head - a do-it-yourself house for Barbie, a plywood photo, a diagram, dimensions. Only now you should not get lost, but you just need to be patient.

See what a do-it-yourself plywood dollhouse turned out to be, in my opinion, it already looks good.

Do-it-yourself plywood doll house - photo

When the drawings, dimensions are already known, and even the house for Barbie is assembled, it's time to show you a photo of what we ended up with.

After the entire assembly, we decided to transform our doll house a little and put furniture there, which can be made from waste material or improvised means. Only before putting the furniture, it was necessary to make repairs in the house.

We pasted over the walls of each room of the house with drawings printed on a color printer. You can paint everything with either paints or gouache, or you can transform it with the help of real wallpapers.

And here is a photo of a do-it-yourself plywood doll house.

Do-it-yourself furniture for dolls from improvised materials

Well, what kind of house for dolls is without furniture, drawings are drawings, and dolls need to sleep somewhere. In addition to sleep, they need to eat somewhere, sit on chairs, and in the dark, a floor lamp will not be superfluous.

I have already shared many master classes with you, showing you step by step how to make a table and chairs for Barbie dolls, a bed and even bedding. Here, perhaps, I will start with the bed and bed linen.

DIY doll bed made of cardboard

Well, what can I say, because you need to sleep somewhere, you can also on the floor, but it will be better on the bed, especially if it is made by hand. A bed for dolls can be made of plywood, we also have one, after which I glued it with old sliders with a hot gun and it turned out to be a wonderful cradle for a baby doll.

Do-it-yourself floor lamp for a dollhouse

And here my fantasy swallowed me completely, and did not let go for a long time. I still have tulle after our wedding with my husband, and it is stored, only everything has a shelf life. It seems that he came to visit tulle, I'm talking about shelf life and shelf life.

Having cut off a small piece of tulle, 50 centimeters long and 6 cm wide, I strung it along the edge with a thread, also blue. Next, I took the cap from a five-liter bottle and, having made a hole in it, placed it in a sushi stick and filled it with hot glue. After that, I drew a trapezoid out of cardboard, cut it out and glued it along the edge, and attached it to the cork from a champagne bottle. But on the very top I glued a piece of tulle and a strung strip.

See what a floor lamp for a doll I got.
Friends, share your opinion on how you like a house for dolls with your own hands, drawings for a plywood house, do-it-yourself furniture for dolls from improvised materials and a floor lamp with a chair and a table.

Hi all! Tell me, when you give your baby a toy, do you think where it will live? Believe me, the baby is definitely thinking about it. And all because he projects his life onto them. It is played during the day, like a toy, but evening comes and the little one must go to bed. But what about his subordinate? What to do with it? To give your child pleasure, continue the game and teach the little one to order, let's find out today how to make a house for dolls out of a box with your own hands.

Preparing to create an apartment for a doll

Before you get started, decide what exactly you will be doing. There are already “walls” in the box itself. It remains to make them look like a place of residence. The dimensions of the house can be different: it can be two-story or one-story, with one or more rooms; furnished with homemade or purchased furniture.

What materials and tools will be needed for work:

Cardboard boxes;
Glue;
colored paper;
Scissors;
Pencil;
Ruler.

When everything you need is collected, you can start tinkering.

First house

I recommend to practice on a small house from one room. Then it is not so a pity to throw it away, and the children quickly get bored with everything. Look how cute and cozy they are, albeit small. Pictures enlarge by clicking.

But what a cute little house, even without wallpaper, it already looks decent, but what if you hang curtains, throw a couple of pillows, lay a carpet? By the way, the carpet and pillows are easiest to make from felt. And you don't have to sew! Felt is simply glued with a moment or a hot gun.

As soon as you get bored, you can build at least a castle, at least a country villa. You already have experience, your hand is full.

"Building" a house

From me a detailed master class with a photo. Hope it helps you!

The help of the little one will completely depend on how much the parents are interested and involved in the process. Therefore, show your creative processes, prepare your baby with a fairy tale or an interesting story. Give him a job or ask him for advice on crafts.

Furniture

Of course, doll furniture is a must! Yes, and playing with an empty house is not interesting. What can you think of?

Bedroom furniture

Bedroom furniture can be made of paper using the origami technique, glued from cardboard and cut, but the most comfortable and beautiful option is upholstered furniture made of cardboard, foam rubber and fabric. You can glue everything on ordinary PVA, though it will take a long time to dry. Instead of foam rubber, you can take a synthetic winterizer or batting, in extreme cases, cotton wool.

Kitchen

The kitchen can be filled with a refrigerator, stove, countertop, a beautiful chandelier and a dining table. Cardboard and ice cream sticks are suitable as materials.

If there is a 3 d handle, then you can make plastic furniture.

Cardboard plate

lockers

Cabinets, shelves, a refrigerator are easy to make from cardboard. Easy to glue with hot glue.

Furniture for kitchen

Furniture - chairs, a very beautiful table are obtained from ice cream sticks. You can cut such sticks with large scissors, only carefully, they can crack in half. Glue can be glue moment or hot.

Little things for the kitchen

You can plant a bird in a cage in the kitchen, put a box of fruit or flowers. Detailed master classes in the photo. Enlarge on click.

Fruits, vegetables, dishes

Fruits, vegetables, dishes are the easiest make from plasticine. To prevent the product from getting dirty and losing its shape, it is covered with transparent nail polish.

Can you make vegetables? from salt dough they dry out and look like they came from a toy store. from play do they also sculpt food, but after drying, the play before it cracks. Therefore, I prefer to make salty dough: 1 cup flour + 1 cup fine salt + water, knead a very tough dough.

Also a very good option air self-hardening plasticine(new material). It is cheap, bright, when it hardens it is elastic, something like hard rubber. We sculpt as from ordinary plasticine and leave to dry overnight.

Interesting ideas for a dollhouse

Some toys already come with the house, for example, lol dolls have it just fabulous. Some ideas can be copied from it. For example, the fact that the apartment is not limited to the area of individual rooms, and the lower floor usually protrudes. Or you can make a patio in front of the house with a deck chair and flowers.

Another interesting idea is a house bag. This option is especially convenient when traveling with kids. You just need to attach a handle and “shutter doors” that close the house, and the mobile version is ready.

If you like to sew, then the ideal option is a soft fabric house bag.

And one moment. And you thought that your craft was just the beginning? Over time, more and more new rooms may appear in which other toys will live.

Create, please the baby and be surprised at how talented your baby is! I hope you enjoy spending time with your child and you can develop your friendship with him. I propose to make friends with our site so as to always be aware of the latest articles! Subscribe and receive messages about what you can read on the site. Be sure to tell your friends about what you learn.

See you again. Bye Bye!

Barbie is the most famous doll in the world. For her, they produce clothes, shoes, dishes, accessories, cars, as well as houses, which are sold both separately and together with furniture. Such a pleasure is not cheap, but meanwhile you can easily make a house for barbie with your own hands. It will take a little time and will bring a lot of pleasure, both to parents and to the little mistress of the doll, who will take an active part in arranging a new home for her pet.

The fantasy of the masters has no limits, so they offer to make a house for a Barbie doll from plywood, wood, cardboard boxes, old cabinets and shelves, sheet cardboard, fabric. Each option has its own advantages, and the result depends on the level of skill and effort. It can be either a simple and comfortable one-story house or a multi-storey castle with arches, balconies, stairs and even an elevator.

Installation of the structure consists of the following steps:

We draw drawings;
We make templates;
Cut out the details;
We connect the details;
We are refinishing the house inside and out.

This installation procedure is typical for the manufacture of a house made of plywood, wood or cardboard.

At the finishing stage, you can connect the child to the work so that he himself chooses the desired decor option. Pink is considered the traditional color of Barbie, so it can be taken as the main tone.

The barbie house, made from large cardboard boxes, requires almost no financial outlay, and new rooms and floors can be added to it at any time.

A plywood or wooden house is very durable and, with careful handling, will last a child for several years.

In a light and comfortable textile house, Barbie doll can travel with her little mistress.

A doll housing made from an old locker can be closed at night with doors.

Tips: how to make a barbie house out of cardboard boxes

To build the structure, you will need several identical shoe boxes or just one large box from under any household appliances. It is desirable that the cardboard was dense, but its color does not matter.

Materials needed for work:

PVA glue (preferably construction, not clerical);
Scissors;
Stationery knife;
Plain or construction tape;
Watercolor or gouache paints;
Remains of wallpaper, wrapping paper, color pictures.

We glue the shoe boxes together so that we get two or three floors. And at the big box we cut off the top, leaving the sides 30 centimeters high, and from the remaining parts we make interior partitions. From two identical pieces of cardboard we make a roof and attach it with adhesive tape. Ceilings can be covered with white writing paper or Styrofoam ceiling tiles. The walls are decorated with wallpapers, stickers, pictures. To strengthen the walls, the house is glued on the outside with thick cardboard, and the top is decorated with wallpaper, paper border, or simply painted.

Approximate plan of the house:

1st floor: garage (you can put a barbie car there) and a kitchen;
2nd floor: hall and guest room;
3rd floor bedroom and bathroom;
Attic, where there will be a closet with things.

In the hall, you can equip a fireplace, folded from matchboxes or glued from cardboard. On this topic, you can watch a lot of interesting videos, where everything is told in great detail and clearly.

A cardboard home-made house can be installed in a wide low box and equipped with a courtyard in it.

We study in detail: how to make a barbie doll out of paper with your own hands

A very interesting and entertaining toy is a Barbie doll made of paper. For her, you can independently make clothes, houses and accessories. This activity perfectly develops the child's creative abilities, as well as fine motor skills of the hands.

Paper doll making:

Download from the Internet or draw a doll template yourself;
We cut out the figure, stepping back from the contours of 3-5 millimeters;
We paste the doll on cardboard and cut it out strictly along the contour.

We draw clothes, hats, handbags and carefully cut them out. It must be remembered that small rectangles are attached to the clothes, which are then bent so that the clothes are attached to the doll.

If you stick a thin magnetic strip on the doll, and attach small metal objects to clothes and accessories, then there will be no need to draw the valve.

For paper dolls, you do not need to make voluminous houses, but just draw rooms with furniture in the album. Each individual sheet will be a new room.

Master class: how to build a house for barbie from plywood or wood

A durable plywood or wooden house can be made independently, having the necessary tools at hand. The advantage of such materials is that you do not have to deal with interior and exterior decoration, since the wood has a very beautiful natural color and pattern. Against the background of such a house, it will not be a shame to conduct photo shoots, since it will look much more beautiful than its store counterparts.

Tools and materials:

Hacksaw or jigsaw;
Screwdrivers and screwdriver;
Sander or fine-grained sandpaper;
Drill;
Sheets of plywood or boards;
Finishing materials: wallpaper, paper, pieces of linoleum, etc. (optional);
Carpentry glue or PVA;
Self-tapping screws for wood;
Pencil and ruler.

First, an exact diagram of the future house is drawn on paper, which is then transferred to plywood, carefully observing all dimensions.

Performing work step by step:

All structural elements are carefully sawn out, door and window openings are cut.
The side walls and floors are connected.
The back wall and internal partitions are mounted.
The roof is being installed.

Window openings can be trimmed with a plastic corner cut to fit the windows.

A wooden house can be foldable if equipped with an appropriate mechanism. Then it will not take up much space in the room. For example, door canopies are attached to the corner house, and it folds like a book.

How to make barbie dollhouses from improvised materials

When you need to quickly build a house for a doll, then any materials will be used. You can build a beautiful and comfortable home from a large Lego set, especially if there are a large number of parts available.

A compact house is easily made from a five- or ten-liter plastic canister. Windows and doors are cut out in it, and the canister itself is painted with paints or decorated with plasticine, salt dough, colored paper.

To prevent the child from injuring his hands, window and doorways are pasted over with adhesive tape or electrical tape.

We make a do-it-yourself barbie dollhouse from an old closet

Everyone in the household will find an old unnecessary wardrobe, bookshelves or a rack. You can breathe new life into them by turning them into a comfortable and beautiful house for a Barbie doll.

It should be borne in mind that the distance between the shelves should be about 30 centimeters, since the growth of Barbie is approximately the same.

Materials needed for conversion:

Wood putty;
Primer and paint oil or acrylic;
Scotch masking;
Brushes of different sizes;
Colored or wrapping paper, pieces of linoleum, fabrics, oilcloth.

The cabinet is cleaned of old paint, cracks are sealed, and then the entire surface is primed and covered with two layers of paint. On the outer walls, you can draw windows, bricks, patterns, branches of ivy or wild grapes. Partitions are installed inside. Then each room is decorated depending on the wishes of the little mistress of the dollhouse.

Andrey Vogachev talked about how to do it yourself. He noticed that his daughter enthusiastically plays with houses the size of a cardboard shoe box. There was an idea to do something solid. A search in stores did not turn up anything worthwhile, they were either very small or too expensive. Thought it wouldn't be too hard to do it yourself. Having searched on the Internet, I found decent sizes, from which it is planned to subsequently make a house.

In the drawing, the marking of the cut, with red lines, marks how the plywood should be cut in the store. Please note that the more accurately you can mark and saw in the store, the less time it will take later. In the store, the cut is very accurate, while on its own it can make some flaws.

Drawing of puppet housing

Plywood size 1.5 x 1.5 m. Weight 16 kg. The total area is 2.3 square meters. Sanded plywood.

All the details after cutting began to make up a not so large volume. White paint for facades. Little carnations. Glue and brush.

Markup process

All details must be cut. It's a matter of small. Drill holes and cut out parts of the balcony. Continue watching from 5 minutes.
