For doll

A fabulous house can be made on several floors: for this you need 2-3 boxes, but you can do with one. If there are no solid boxes in the house, use adhesive tape to connect several cardboard sheets: the dollhouse will turn out just as well.

1. Take a cardboard box. If it is not glued, fasten the edges well. It is better to do this with adhesive tape, otherwise the fabulous house will be fragile and may fall apart during the game. Cut out windows.
2. Fasten two separate sheets of cardboard at a 45 degree angle. This will be the roof. Place it on top of the box.
3. From separate sheets of cardboard, cut out partitions for the rooms that the fairy house will contain.
4. Place them inside the box.
5. Now it's time for finishing. It can be arbitrary: from fabric, colored paper, beads, patches or scraps. You can cover a dollhouse for children with white paper, and then ask the child to color it. He will definitely be happy to take part in this venture!
6. As for the interior decoration, here, too, do not skimp on fantasy. After the next repair in the apartment, there will always be pieces of wallpaper, fabric, oilcloth. They can also be placed inside and pasted over the dollhouse.

Scheme

For babies

Sometimes children want not to play with dolls, but to climb into a small children's house themselves and arrange their space in it. Let's give them that opportunity! Making a children's house with your own hands is also very simple. The difference will only be in size, so you will have to look for a large box for household appliances, such as a refrigerator or washing machine.

1. Glue the sides of the box or tape them together.
2. With a clerical knife, make holes for the entrance and windows.
3. In order to have more space in the house, you can remove the top of the box and attach an L-shaped roof in its place. Thanks to this technique, the kids will feel more spacious in the house.
4. Now it remains to do the finishing. A children's house can be decorated with natural materials: twigs, beams, cones, etc. You can simply paste over with paper and paint.

An ideal mount for all elements would be tape or a stapler. Glue is an unreliable material: the children's house may break during the game.

This is what the children's house looks like in the photo. Agree, the craft scheme is very simple and is unlikely to complicate loving parents.

Wood

For the New Year

New Year's house for children will differ only in exterior decoration. The craft scheme will be the same. To give the product a fabulous, New Year's look, cover it with sparkles, cotton wool, attach paper snowflakes.

Inside you can put a small artificial Christmas tree and decorate it, and Santa Claus with the Snow Maiden or a snowman can live in this house.

This is how the New Year's house for children will look in the photo.

You can put it under the Christmas tree or decorate a room with it.

If you want to make a small dollhouse, it is recommended to take designer cardboard or just thick paper. Cardboard from under household appliances will look rough, it will be difficult to glue it.

Windows from the inside can be imitated with adhesive tape. If you want to arrange a backlight, stock up on a flashlight, turn it on and put it inside the house. You can use a garland. Here is what such a craft for children looks like in the photo.

Crafts for children is always an opportunity for parents and kids to communicate, show their creative abilities. Let your house be the way you dream to see it!

If you think a little, then from the simplest and most ordinary materials that are quite often at our fingertips, you can make great things with your own hands.

One such example is a wooden house made of paper.

But as for the ideas that arise to create such a miracle, it appears for a variety of reasons. Sometimes, inspiration just comes and it's not bad at all.

For this we need
Cocktail tubules
A4 paper
multi-colored cardboard
Glue
Scissors

Step 1

The first thing to do is to take paper, preferably A4, without cells or rulers. The paper must be white. Next, you need to twist it into tubes.

Step 2

For more convenient work, the paper must be divided into several equal parts, and only then twisted. First, do it on the sides, and only then in the middle.

You will never calculate how many such tubes are needed in the exact amount. That is why, do them in the process. So it will be easier.

Step 3

As for the foundation, in order to build it, you need to pick up a fairly dense cardboard. Remember, the “life” of your house will depend on it. Paper tubes will need to be glued along the side parts. A few need to be made shorter.

Step 4

After you complete the process of laying out the tubes in three rows, make a small mark where the doors and windows will be. Remember, in order for your house to look more symmetrical, you need to have both windows and doors at the same height.

Step 5

For a striking effect, you can make colored paper curtains in the middle of the windows. By the way, in order for all fasteners to be stronger, you can use transparent tape. But this is all optional, of course.

Step 6

Next, don't forget about the roof. But initially, you need to build several supports so that it does not collapse. The roof can be cut from cardboard. Moreover, the shape of the cuts can be very different. It all depends on your own imagination.

Glue the roof, preferably with a simple, colorless glue in order to make it all look more realistic.

Step 7

Once you've completed all of the above steps, decorate your windows with the simplest self-adhesive. And in the same way, decorate the doors. As for the stairs, you can make them out of them, or you can not do them. And if you still prefer a house with a ladder, then they can be built from those tubes that you made. Do more if necessary. It is advisable to glue the steps with a “wooden” self-adhesive.

Step 8

And the final step will be the manufacture of railings. And they are also made from tubes, having previously pasted them in brown. And now, your house is finished. It remains only to decorate it. Here, you can dream up. For example, put a variety of figurines, animals, a fence, or even a garden, as if it were a real village. In any case, it will turn out just great!

With your own hands - in the material you will find templates and simple step-by-step instructions with photos.

Even super-cool store-bought toys never outdo those made by caring moms. In addition, children can also be involved in the work - then it will be even more fun and creative! Make a do-it-yourself dollhouse out of cardboard, and so that it is not empty, put it in it.

In order to make a toy house out of cardboard with your own hands, you will need:

• cardboard
• cotton fabric
• glue / glue gun

How to make a DIY cardboard toy house for kids. Step by step instructions with photo

To get started, print or draw and cut out the details according to the template example. Two walls with a ledge under the roof, two walls - without, two parts for the roof and one door.

Then circle the details on the fabric. Leaving an allowance of 1-1.5 centimeters. Cut out the details. Cut off the corners as shown in the photo.

Bend the fabric around the perimeter, glue it to the cardboard parts.

To make windows in a cardboard house, cut the fabric with the letter X where the windows are located on the cardboard part, wrap the resulting shreds inside and glue them.

When all the details of the cardboard house are completely ready, we glue them together, as shown in the photo.

You can build a cardboard house with your own hands, without making much effort. The designs can be different - this is a dollhouse, and a garage or parking lot for toy cars. Children will be delighted to participate in joint creativity. After all, the process of making crafts in the form of a hut is fascinating.

At the same time, you can create a cozy cardboard nest that will fit a small fidget.

How to make a craft with your own hands

By taking a little time to work together with children and giving free rein to your imagination, you can build many original structures. And how to do this, we will tell further.

New Year's hut

When making crafts, you need to focus on the schemes and patterns of cardboard houses. After you choose the most suitable option, you should transfer the markup to the workpiece. Well, then there is nothing complicated:

Cut out the details from a white sheet of paper according to the template and stick them in the prescribed sequence on cardboard. You can use glue or double-sided tape.

All cardboard parts are carefully cut out. For the arrangement of windows and doors, you should use a clerical knife.

Adhering to the traced folds, bend the workpiece and glue the structure. For strength, a primer can be applied to the house.

The hut should be painted and decorated, for example, the roof is often sprinkled with sparkles. Having attached a rope to the structure, the hut is used as a Christmas tree decoration.

Cardboard and foam house

This option is more labor intensive. But our instructions on how to make a house out of cardboard will help you quickly cope with the design.

Take a regular cardboard box. The size is selected individually. A house is being built from it - you need to cut the necessary parts and glue them together. After window and door openings are drawn on the structure, they should be cut out with a clerical knife.

The hut can be decorated or pasted over with colored paper. But decoration with polyurethane foam will look more original. It is applied in strips, leaving 3-4 mm gaps between them for swelling. The foam will dry in 30-40 minutes.

In the meantime, you can build a stand:

• cut a piece of cardboard in the form of a rectangle with an area slightly larger than the base of the house;
• glue the stand to the frame of the building;
• imitate snow with foam or cotton wool glued with PVA to the stand.

Excess foam from the craft is cut off with a knife, and then the structural elements are painted in the selected color scheme.

Home for gnomes

The task can be simplified if you use existing blanks, for example, cylinders from toilet paper rolls. In order for the composition to be original and attractive, as in the photo of a cardboard house, you need to be patient. You can take 2-3 cylinders and cut into two parts so that you get parts of different lengths.

Then cut out paper strips. Their length will be about 150 mm, and the width is 15-30 mm more than the height of the cylinder used as a house. Windows and doors are cut out of colored paper and glued to a white strip.

The cardboard cylinder should be wrapped with paper with windows, having previously applied an adhesive mass to the surface. The edges of the paper that go beyond the cardboard are wrapped inside. From colored paper, you need to make cones that will serve as a roof. They are glued to the cylinders. The village for the gnomes is ready.

House in the hands of a child

Many are interested in how to make a house out of cardboard with their own hands. Even your kid will cope with the proposed technology. Mark your home on white cardboard or print a template from the Internet. The kid himself will be able to cut the entire structure along clear lines.

For the manufacture of the roof, you should take a rectangle of cardboard suitable for slopes of length and width. This sheet is folded in half and attached to the assembled frame of the house.

Dollhouse made of cardboard

If your child asked to make a home for dolls, then you should not immediately run to the garage and start sawing boards.

Everything can be done much easier - just use our step-by-step instructions for making a house for beginners:

Take a cardboard box of the right size. For example, it can be packaging for parcels or from household appliances. Open it up and down.

The two small side pieces on top are cut off so that triangles are obtained on both sides, pointing upwards. The triangles on top are aligned vertically, and the longitudinal long elements of the cover are attached to them with glue or tape, forming the lower part of the roof slope.

It is not always possible to completely form the roof - its top (horse) will remain open. You can solve this problem by cutting off the lids from the bottom of the box. The longitudinal elements are attached to each other in the form of a hut and are fixed to the already constructed part of the roof. As a result, the roof ridge will be built. The main thing here is to make all measurements and fasten, observing the joints.

Windows and a door appear on the walls of the house, which are then cut through with a knife. The roof can be painted in the form of tiles, and the walls can be painted in the preferred color.

Cozy house for children

It is possible to make a structure in which a child can fit from an ordinary cardboard box from under large-sized household appliances.

It is desirable that the height of the walls be at least 1-1.5 m for a comfortable stay of the child. If this option is difficult for you to choose, then a cardboard house for children can be made from two boxes interconnected with tape.

The top cover must be tightly closed and the joints secured with adhesive tape. A sheet of thick boxboard is placed on top to strengthen the structure. The roof can be made in several ways:

By fastening two rectangles of cardboard - this is how the roof slopes are obtained. If you make them with a slight launch beyond the walls of the house, you get a stronger mount.

Rafters are mounted on top. They are made of two crossed plastic pipes of small diameter. They are attached to the house at the corners of the structure. A piece of a wide pipe should be placed in the middle so that the rafters do not bend. A light blanket or blanket is laid over the rafters.

Building a house for dolls, decorating a Christmas tree or having fun for a child is quite simple. This requires the use of available material. The participation of the child in the design will help you show your imagination to the maximum together and keep the baby busy with exciting work.
