This article is atypic for the site, where the issues of heating and ventilation are considered, since it will be discussed about the popular homemade homemade - imitation of the fireplace in full size. Of course, the mooring is not able to fully replace with flaming firewood. But a beautifully decorated portal fits perfectly into the interior of the apartment and can decorate the free space along the wall or in the corner of the room. So let's see that from affordable materials will go to the manufacture of a false fireplace and how to make it with your own hands.
To answer this question, we collected disparate information, photos and videos published on the Internet by homemade masters. If you put a goal to make an artificial fireplace yourself, you will surely find the appropriate material from the drawn list:
It's easier and faster to make a fireplace portal from a box from a TV or other household appliances. Bottic foci shown in the photo are unsuitable for many years of operation, but easily installed in the right place. As a rule, a fireplace of cardboard serves as an ornament for the new year and in other holidays, after which it is removed into the storage room.
From other materials, including foam, stationary models of false fireines are manufactured, capable of listening to many years. They are drawn up according to the interior of the apartment and in various ways create imitation of fire or furnish with candles. We propose to consider the manufacture of each option separately.
Council. Whatever the way of manufacture you choose, first determine the place for an artificial focus and sketch the drawing with sizes. This will simplify the calculation of the number of materials and selection of the design style.
To work, you will need a simple set of tools - scissors, roulette with a ruler and a stationery knife. From additional materials, prepare PVA glue, old newspapers or paper and scotch. The homemade false fireplace is manufactured in different ways depending on the source material:
On the left, the uniform from the solid box, on the right - from 9 identical boxes 
To hide joints in the corners and in the middle of the portal, take them with old newspapers or paper. Another option is to buy polyurethane imitation of plaster stucco and close with decor elements all distressed places.
If it is necessary to strengthen the homemade design so that it does not "evolve" along and across its axis, install the cardboard ribs in the back side, putting them on the glue. The strengthening of thin walls is easily performed using the strips of the same corrugated cardboard, folded by the "accordion", as done in the photo.
Enhancement options - gluing internal ribs (left) and harmonic windows on a sheet (right) Note. The technology of manufacturing the corner version of the fireplace is not distinguished by a used model. Only a large package will have to be exhausting otherwise, and from the same type of boxes to form sheets, and even then - the elements of the portal.
It is necessary to bend a large box to get an angular pseudocamin The finished housing of the false fireplace remains to be separated by any selected way, for example:
For reliable fastening of finishing materials, use a polymer adhesive composition or an inexpensive adhesive gun. The final design is the staining of the product in the desired color (or several) acrylic or silicate composition intended for internal work. Master class on how at home is a decorative fireplace from the boxes, look at the video:
In this case, you will need the following timber:
The toolkit is also used available - hacksaw, drill, measuring devices. For fasteners, take ordinary black screws, if necessary, perforated steel corners and stripes. If the false fireplace is planned to be painted, acquire the acrylic composition of the desired color.
Wooden frame assembly with a fireplace board 
Finishing plywood sheets Important moment. In the case when it is necessary to put an electric firebox with an imitation of the flame inside the artificial fireplace, the dimensions of the opening must correspond to its dimensions. Still a nuance: rear between the wall and the housing of the furnace, be sure to withstand the distance of at least 5 cm.
The easiest and most inexpensive version of the facing is to smear the slot between the plywood sheets with putty, clean it with sandpaper, and then paint. Another cheap way - finishing PVC panelsimitating bricks, which is shown in the photo. How to fix this material correctly, it is described in the relevant article.
The fireplace shelf should be polished and covered with varnish if it is made of wood massif. Then it remains only to make a portal to make the impression of burning in the pseudo-fuel. Briefly and understand the assembly process is shown in the video:
Here you can go in two ways - to collect the portal on the wooden frame, as described in the previous section, or on the frame from steel galvanized profiles. Since the future construction carries minimal loads, the choice of material for the frame does not play a special role.
But the sequence of installation changes - the racks of this capital structure are initially attached to the wall. The procedure for such:
When installing electrical stoves, the outlet in the niche will be very powerful Note. In principle, nothing prevents the frame at first to collect the frame, and then scun her to the wall and to obey Glk. But there is one point: the angle between the floor and the wall is probably different from 90 °. Then one of the planes of your product will not learn to building structures.
The false fireplace, lined with plasterboard, has one important advantage - it can be separated by anything, including tiles, which looks very presentable. Therefore, we will not list the ways to finish the portal (from too much), and we will be offered to get acquainted with the next video on its assembly:
Despite the complexity in the construction of such a structure and its cost, the brickwork will give the maximum approximation to a natural living hearth. Plus strength and durability - unlike GLK, the stone is not afraid of random shock loads.
Reference. The designs described earlier are fire-hazardous to one degree or another. It is worth the child to overturn the burning candle in the niche, and cardboard or wooden product quickly flammable. The decorative candle fireplace, built of brick, will not marry under any circumstances.
Portals from different species Brick Of course, for brickwork, a reliable basis is necessary, so that residents of apartment buildings are built on overlaps, such false fireplaces are categorically not recommended. Another thing is the first floor of a private house, where in the process of repairing floors you can lay the foundation in the form of a concrete slab.
To work, you will need a standard tool - trowel, a wide spatula and a construction level with a plumb. To put beautifully decorative brick "In the Poids", rent a special masonry template shown in the picture.
The template allows even a newcomer to lay the stones beautifully - in a wastelife The brick imitation of the fireplace is laid out in such a sequence:
An example of a masonry scheme of the English fireplace. Such a big lingerie to you for anything, but here the principle of the construction of a stone hearth is displayed. Council. You can build such a fireplace from any brick, including the used and old. Only it will have to clean well, and at the end of work - to paint either to cover with colorless varnish. As a basis, take the apartments of the real English fireplace, but without chimney and internal partitions: we only put the outer walls and the pseudo-fuel.
The manufacture of a decorative fireplace cannot be called completed without creating the visibility of the burning flame in the furnace. We offer a choice of several options, how to organize such an effect:
New-fashioned LED devices imitate heat, most importantly, - to make everything right. The photo shows a good example with a luminous ribbon decomposed on the perimeter. The composition can be supplemented with artificial firewood and other accessories are available.
We all want the interior of our house was stylish and beautiful. To achieve this goal, the designers of the whole world came up with a great set of decor elements. Among them, the fireplace occupies far from last. But what if the dimensions of the apartment do not allow you to install a full-fledged fire complex or simply do not want to spend money? There is a way out - you can make a decorative (fake) fireplace from cardboard boxes with your own hands!
Yes, yes, you did not hear - from the most ordinary cardboard boxes, which often remain after buying household appliances. For the manufacture of such simulation of the fireplace, you will not even need any special knowledge and construction skills - make it easy and simple! How? Read on!
For the manufacture of the fireplace, you will need such materials from the boxes:

Surprisingly, not only a homely false fireplace can be made from cardboard boxes, which can be performed exclusively decorative function, but also to build a portal for electrocamine! Of course, such a portal eliminates the installation gas burner, or biocamine, as there is an open flame there and fire can happen. It is impossible to establish a heat exchange fireplace with a water boiler and a casing - due to the bulkness of this design and, of course, the danger of inflammation of cardboard from overheating. Also cannot be installed electrograms with an open firebox and the built-in heating function - for the same reason. In the design of cardboard boxes, you can insert a electric fireplace with a closed fireplace and imitation of the flame (on the LCD screen or using the backlight).
According to style directions, the following types of fireplaces are distinguished from boxes:

There are two ways to assemble a cardboard portal - frame and with rear wall:

The manufacture of an angular fireplace is easier than the frontal. Materials are used the same, only the method of forming a box differs. His execution plan step by step:
Upon completion of all works, we make the fireplace installation in the selected place.
If you wish, to decorate your fireplace, you can independently make boutofor firewood from cutting trimming (the corrugated is best). So, start:
What is this new year without a light? Candles on the table, garlands on the Christmas tree - this is good, but the festive atmosphere will overfill the house if a fireplace is in the feast room. The real fireplace is complicated, and build it in the usual apartment house simply no technical capabilities. However, to put a fireplace for the new year, there is no need to start building work and in private household.
Wear old packaging boxes or sheet packing cardboard. It is possible to build a fireplace from the boxes from the boxes, in general, following two techniques: one-time sleep, nervously glanced on the clock arrows and sniffing whether something in the kitchen is not soothered in front of the day or in advance. In the latter case, it is possible to get falsemine (see Fig. Right), never inferior to the plasterboard and the same durable, but many times simpler and cheap. How? Now and see.
The simplest New Year's fireplace from the boxes can also be in a festive elegant. And no less durable. The difference between him and more complied with which you will have to spend a couple of evenings, in essence, aesthetic. The simplest fireplace will look at the atmosphere of fun, when everything in the morning "on a platoon", and then they will warm up. The fireplace, which is done in detail, will retain the appearance in the everyday setting. Although both relatively, because The durability of the other fireplace is the same. Here is more important than the author's fantasy and ways to finish, see for example. video:
The master class on the manufacture of a festive fireplace of their boxes is laid as in 4 pictures, see fig. below. The paper testing step disappears if the components of the box are glued, as described below, and the fireplace will be saved by self-keys (see below), or painted under the old brick or wild stone with the imitation of masonry seams (also see below).
To fig. Above it seems to be adding nothing to this - before that it is easy to make fireplace boxes for the new year. And after Fuzhar, a different guests will be delighted with him. But, so that the creation of their hands the next morning did not want to remove faster than the Christmas tree, and, perhaps, I wanted to leave as a permanent decoration of the room, you need to know some of the ma-and-linous tricks. They will not complicate work and not tightened.
The first of them is to glue the boxes are better not by household scotch, but painted (on the left in Fig.), It is sold in construction stores. The adhesive layer of the painting tape is about the same, but the base is paper. Any paint or self-adhesive coating is perfect on the malarious scotch. Also greater tape is very thin: it does not stick under the paint layer (if only the fireplace is not done under real fireFor later), the painted surface will be smooth. In addition, the greasy tape is cheaper than the household and the more technical.
However, until the next new year, a decorative fireplace glued with painting scotch, hardly takes a paper base from atmospheric moisture. Also, a disposal will also be a fireplace from boxes glued down by the stationery adhesive pencil - the seams will eventure. If there are three large boxes, allowing you to assemble the basis of the fireplace on the power scheme in the center in Fig. (The transverse bulk beam relies on the columns), then it is better to glue the household PVA; This glue, in contrast to the technical and construction PVA, dries in 5-10 minutes. Instantly dries hot glue from the adhesive gun, but it is much more expensive. Covered PVA or fusible glue fireplace according to the diagram in the center in fig. It will endure if the guest of the middle set will take place on it instead of the pellets with dumplings. And the basis of the decorative fireplace of many small boxes (right in Fig.), Glued down by the same adhesives, simply will serve not one year and will take a finish that allows you to leave the fireplace with a permanent element of the interior.
One of best ways Finishes of the New Year's fireplace from the boxes - shoes self-adhesive finishing materials; Simply - self-kept. But it, suitable for this purpose, will be known to the reader, it comes on sale 3 types:
The fireplace from the boxes of self-kept is in general the same as furniture, but with some features arising from the shape of the product and its material - cardboard. Step-by-step instructions for finishing a New Year's fireplace from cardboard by self-adhesive films is such (see Fig.):
Put the workpiece with a plastic facade (face) up; In fig. For clarity, the process is shown as if you look at the lying fireplace from its bottom side. We put the pieces of self-keys "on dry", without removing the protective film. Customizing the drawings / textures of pieces and scissors cut into size with a viscosity of 30-40 mm on the wobbies for adjacent angles. On wall wings (see below) we give at least 15 cm.
We remove a piece from the top jumper of the portal. Slices on the sidewalls (columns) are not closer 12-20 cm to the inner edges add shipping. Optimal option - put a long ruler and put on it the same iron, which swallowed the sticking from "Linking and his friends." Well, who does not remember: "Toroping was hungry, swallowed cold iron." Now we raise the inner edge of the piece on any of the sidewalls and glue along it the protective film by 10-12 cm deep into it.
Holding the winged edge of the protective film immediately behind both corners, we bring it inside-back, and quietly pull. Self-keeper will be lying on the surface of the surface. If you have never been involved in such work before, it is better to practice a pair of small trimming, because It is impossible to touch the adhesive layer of the adhesive layer.
Note: If the starting edge of self-adhesive wallpaper or plastic furniture self-tech is not immediately on the basis, it can be invited from the middle to the corners without a strong piping with a rag tampon. Paper self-tech should be glued so that the starting edge immediately lay down as needed.
When at least 10 cm of self-keys fall on the surface of the surface, we remove the excess; On another sidewall, he still remains! Gently pull out a protective film from under self-keys, with a surrender, until the coating falls on the facade (in fig. Upper, because the blank is plasther) and the side of the column. With the wall wing, the protective film is not removed! Just cutting it over!
In the same way in the other sidewall; Then - the facade jumper and shelf. Before pasting the shelf, cut the corners of the side of the coating of the sidewall under 45 degrees and press them (without touching the adhesive layer!) To the base of the shelf.
Note: All work according to steps 1-5 must be done in less than 20 minutes, because It is so much the adhesive layer of self-keys retains its properties in contact with air.
How to deal with wings? It all depends on whether the fireplace will be a permanent interior subject or not. If so, then it should be saved by self-adhesive wallpaper. Then, by installing the fireplace in place (possibly, after finishing the shelf, feed and firebox, see below), the protective film is pulled out from under the wings that stick to the wall. This will be much strengthened by the visual "drawing" the fireplace, see the cutting on the right in Fig.
If the fireplace is temporary, then the protective film from the wings is not pulled out, only cut off exactly in the size of its tails: having been on the wall or, say, a door quarters, the adhesive layer of self-keeper will leave unbreakable traces on them. For the same reason, it is not necessary to fix the wings of the finishing of the Fireplace two-way scotch. You need to use the way that in the old times of the general deficit craftsmen was attached to the concrete walls wooden plinths, baguette and telephone wiring- "noodles":
A novice master to lay self-tier without bubbles is difficult. How to be here? On the cardboard fireplace is the first 5-10 min - in no way. The tightened self-tech will squeeze the air from the bubbles through the cardboard and they will fall down. And which will remain after 10 minutes of excerpt, they pierce the sewing needle. After 10-20 minutes they will fall down. Suddenly somehow will remain (which is very little likely), His, after punishing, stroke the credit card or something similar.
If you have only one box, but quite large in terms and not very fat, for example, from under the TV, then one of it can already make a fireplace for the new year. Its scheme and approximate dimensions are given in Fig. below. For formation indoor space Hand covers on the face Cardboard wings are rejected inside. To simulate the arched array of cuts make several and inside the obtained petals are rejected. Then the furnace from the inside is covered with self-adhesive wallpaper under the brick or tight paper and is painted. Also, you can make an angular cardboard fireplace from the TV (right in Fig.).
Self-strokes under the stone on sale is enough, but to separate the cardboard fireplace can be cheaper. And if the New Year's fireplace from the boxes will be with a real light (see below), the method described below is the only possible.
The first thing of the seams between the boxes are rubbed toothpaste. Then the fireplace is painted under the selected stone with watercolor paints or gouache. A very good result gives painting red paint for not saved paper and not bleached somehow more boxes - it turns out very similar to the old brick, because Colorful watercolor surface and guasha matte.
For "full naturalness" remains masonry seams. To do this, they are first cut on the cardboard (on the left in Fig.), Breaking only the upper layer. Cuts can be broken or curved, if masonry is masonry by wild stone. They will pass along or across the inner corrugation of cardboard, no matter.
Then the cuts are evenly pushed with a breakdown of some solid round wand - from chup-chupps, the end of knitting needles, etc. After that, in the usual PVA, with stirring, any black pigment is added (ground black watercolor, soot, griffing from simple pencil etc.) before receiving the tone of frozen cement. The mixture is gaining into a medical syringe without a needle, and leading it cannula (nose) with a slope of the on-selling grooves, smoothly pressing the piston. Even if the hand thrown, the sausage of the mixture will still fall exactly in the incision. The imitated seams are dry through day.
Fireplace with dark cold yawls only the place in vain occupies. Under the New Year - especially. Possible to him naturalness, not risking to breed a real fire (see Next) you can, having inserted the inside of the furnace of pink-raspberry or light crimson watercolor or gouache - they will give a soft game of light without insight glare.
The next step is instead of stakeing, it does not default red (mainly) with yellow fabric. The flashing garland from red and yellow light bulbs is then stacked in the furnace. It is best if the garlands regulator provides slow trustees of the light bulbs with a smooth change in their brightness. Then imitation of the flap of fire in the furnace will be very natural, on the left in fig.
Now let's try to simulate smoldering firewood to cover the light bulbs. To poke real bruises or their imitation (in the center) of a special meaning: Well, what is it, an unhapable bunk? The sprigs sketched in the furnace also do not solve things, even if the real candles are burning there, on the right.
The best way to simulate firewood in the fireplace is to turn the newspaper tubes; By the way, they are also suitable for many other crafts. The tubes are scented in a gray-brown-rash color (literally, divorces), bend, are outstanding and glued in an artistic disorder, so that it looks like a bunch of twigs width over zea firebox. And even better - which was like it only outside, and the cavity remained with quite thin walls. Garland is placed in it. Translucent through the painted firewood in the tone, she will give the game of the reflections such that the unfavorable guest really thinks that there are coils.
What is a decorative fireplace of cardboard, intended for permanent room decoration, from temporary festive? What allows him to contemplate him with pleasure, being in a bad mood of the usual middle day? The answer is simple - the shelf and under. It is these details that give fireplace constant aesthetic significance.
You can make the shelf and under the fireplace from the boxes, too, cardboard, but, alas, they are not enough for a long time - from temperature drops and humidity, thin glueds from cardboard details will soon be sworn. The output is to glue the shelf and under the fireplace in the form of 3-layer pies from cardboard plates with foam plates between them.
How to make a festive fireplace from cardboard and foam plane, shown in Fig.:
decorative Falkemin from cardboard and foam
The packing cardboard from the boxes for it is quite good, but it is necessary to glue only PVA - it is this glue that will ensure the stability of the shape and the evenness of the surfaces of the cardboard and foam cake, it is not necessary for the restoration of the Bucinists in return for the restoration of old books. The hollow columns with the same goal in front of the finish are impregnated inside and outside the water-polymer emulsion or diluted to the contestation of the dairy serum the same PVA.
Note: The design and exemplary dimensions of the decorative fireplace from cardboard and foamflast are given to the trail of Fig.:
But now we'll see how to make a fireplace from boxes with dust in the furnace with the tongues of the present flame. It does not cancel the imitation of the burning firewood and the reflections of fire in the furnace in the firebox, on the contrary, only it all together and gives the full illusion of the turbulent real fireplace.
The method to supplement the above-described imitation of flames of flames and short-lived firewood with natural tongues of fire is known - these are candles in non-combustible plates, see Fig.:
Load the present fuel into the cardboard and to upload it, of course, it is impossible, especially since the chimney is not. But S. candles should comply with certain precautions: Organizational (yes forgive us readers inevitable formalism for the new year) and technical.
In fact, the use of open fire in the residential room is a serious violation of fire safety rules. Moreover, there is a festive table here, and on it - a strong alcohol, which is very good, and a Christmas tree with paper ornaments. But what can you do, the new year without a light is not that new year. Firefighters are carefully prepared for him; We will be ready and we.
The main means does not turn the new year with a twinkle in the fireplace into a nightmare and disaster - you, dear owners. Make yourself a New Year's fireplace from boxes with a real fire, only if you celebrate it culturally, without a merchant rampant, and without losing your head. And if you have a New Year's norm, that someone, without reaching the time zones to the Urals, is already sleeping with a mustache in a salad, someone is cleaned with champagne cosmetics, and someone is trying everything and trying to get out of the pellets with dumplings - no need. Also, it is not necessary if you meet the new year of preschoolers.
Mentioned above the painting of the fireplace of watercolor or gouache is valuable not only in decorative terms - it creates a non-combustible layer on cardboard, because Pigments of these colors mineral. But this is not enough. It is necessary to make it so that the cardboard is if the candle flames is touched, and he himself did not catch up at least 10 minutes, and, desirable, redeemed a dangerous candle.
The way to make wood materials refractory for some time is also well known and widely used in wooden construction. This is impregnating antipyrene substances. Manufacturers of wood building materials are used by a boor: it highlights a large number of vapors of crystallization water, non-toxic and inexpensive. We need to impregnate cardboard in more concentrations so that, suddenly the soaked surface will touch the flame, he immediately hit the water vapor cloud. To do this, make a solution of borals stronger, approx. Glass on a saucepan.
Buru in glass (better) or enameled dishes in hot water. After using the solution in the dishes pour clean water, they boil it, boiling water poured, and the dishes are so wash cold water (Glass after boiling can be washed once).
Introduced with a solution of the boilers of the billet from the inside and outside, before gluing them into the blank of the fireplace. The impregnation is carried out with a cooled solution. So that the workpieces are not swollen, soaked with a moderately moistened with a brush solution several times with pauses of 5-10 minutes. The impregnation on the one hand is considered complete if the other to the touch slightly moistened. Then the workpiece is allowed to dry and the other side is impregnated for the same passages. After that, the workpiece is dried day.
Note: Newspaper tubes for imitation of twigs in the fireplace are soaked in a solution of borax 3-5 minutes, then dried, painted, form and glued. If a durable decorative fireplace is made with impregnating water-polymer emulsion (see above), then its billets are impregnated first by the drone.
As you can see, the fireplace from the boxes before the new year was not so simple. However, it is worth the heater. Another example of how the festive fireplace from the boxes can be realized with their own hands, see video lesson:

Imitation of the fireplace, decorative fireplace, false fireplace or biocamine how not to name this is an excellent thing especially for urban residents for whom the fireplace is at first glance a non-sufficient dream. Of course, the real fireplace in the apartment is not real, but the false fireplace is easy to do, and even do it yourself. So, how and from what you can make a decorative fireplace do with your own hands below.
You can make a false fireplace from an ordinary cardboard box from the TV.
To do this, you will need:
Auxiliary materials:
To complete:
Prepare the necessary materials, you can safely begin to make a false fireplace. First you need to transfer the drawing from the drawing plan to the box: use for this pencil and ruler.
Do not use the marker since it will come through the paint and you even if you do not want to mess around with a putty will have to sharpen the box.
In the future place of fire, we make a slotted by a stationery knife, should turn out to be in the photo number 5 - 2 labels that run in the direction of the rear wall of the box and glue the construction scotch (gently proceed them with tape from all sides, including the bottom of the box).
Now we glue foam parts according to your sketch (borders on the site of the junction of the corners are cut at an angle of 45 degrees). We glue a wide patterned plinth on top - it will be the basis of the polarity of the fireplace.
Behind the plinth, we have foam backups (photo No. 10) and the foam plate is located on top - with corners will have to work hard to stick without gaps.
As we glue all the details, we carefully shit our false fireplace. We give putty dry, then paint the fireplace water-emulsion paint. So everyone admire the finished false fireplace. Such a fireplace will perfectly fit into the location for photography.
You can also simply make a false fireplace from cardboard in an angular simpleness (angular fireplace). For the manufacture of this false fireplace you will need: a cardboard box, glue film or wallpaper under brick, scissors, tape and garland.
From the cardboard box we make a triangular base, as shown in the photo. Next, you look with wallpaper or film (in fact it is possible and in this case use foam parts and at the end to paint everything). But the tabletop for the future fireplace can be made not only from the foam, as an option in this case, several layers of cardboard are glued, which were then glued under the wood. In the furnace of the finished fireplace, we put the garland or candles on batteries or admire the result.
By the way, if you want to make a false fireplace from cardboard, but as you think you do not have a box of suitable size, do not forget that you can just glue a few boxes together. Further work on the principles described above.
By the way if you make a fireplace not for a couple of photo shoots or purely to Christmas, and you plan to leave it for a long time in your interior, it makes sense to use a place in the walls of the fireplace. There may be excellent alert or just a shelter for manual creativity.
Creating a fireplace with secret shelves begins with the formation of a "skeleton" - its device is represented in the photo below No. 1 (the skeleton device will directly depend on the size you want the shelf). The finished skeleton from all sides is hosted by sheets of cardboard (photo No. 2, 3, 4). Next, we make the podium number 5 and the countertop number 6 (the bed is made from 6 glued together of the sheets of cardboard). For reliability, all the joints are gluable with a plow glue.
Now we finish the tabletop: up the fireplace, we glue the ceiling plinth, so that its top is on the same level with the 6 sheets of cardboard glued. And already on top of the cardboard sheets and plinth glue the seventh sheet of cardboard - as shown in the photo number 8 (No. 9 - a countertop from the wrong side, No. 10 - gently we rush to the tabletop from the wrong side).
All the corners of the fireplaces are closing a special construction area No. 11. Cutting "bricks" from the cardboard and glue them into the furnace, imitating brickwork number 12. On bricks, we make an uneven relief with a putty or ordinary crumpled paper impregnated with glue, like brickwork dry, paint it in the right color. Shelves are gluable paper or self-adhesive film. Fireplace from all sides to Splice No. 13, 14.
But that's not all! Decorations will bring almost ready-made fireplace to perfection. Around the firebox glue plinth, we do it with your own hands: just glue with a slide three newspaper tubes No. 15, 16. The top of the table tops are gluable by a sheet of mint wallpaper No. 17, 18 - it turns out beautifully. If you have left any irregularities on the fireplace - they are easily aligned thanks liquid wallpaper (If all sides are smooth, you can simply paint). And the last touch - on the podium glue "Stones" from the foam number 20. That's all the beautiful false fireplace with a hurried shelter ready.
As you probably yourself guessed, such a fireplace can be done, gluing several boxes of different sizes together - each box will serve directly by the shelf.
The stronger false fireplace from cardboard will be able to initially make a reliable P-shaped frame made of wooden glued shields (as shown in photo No. 1). Next, on liquid nails glue cardboard sheets to the finished frame. Then, the entire surface is gluable with a newspaper on PVA № 4 glue, try not to unwound a lot - the cardboard is deformed. In the lower cavity, we glue supporting racks and cardboard on them, then we also rinse with newspaper sheets. Let dry.
The next step is putty. Place and hang a lot - due to uneven cardboard.
Next, we make a tabletop and bottom: and below and on top of PVA glue the foamed substrate for the laminate, over the substrate again glue newspaper scraps No. 9. After drying, glue plinth № 10, we cut off the lid No. 11 and put off. With the bottom we do the same, the plinth can be used without a pattern.
Once again, the whole fireplace is finishing. We decorate the portal with a narrow plinth number 13. When everything is dry, thoroughly wash the whole fireplace, let him dry out again. And you can primer. Then you can paint in the desired color, after the main painting, the stucco can be painted with white.
The inner surface of the portal can be painted with white paint with the addition of sequin - everything will be fledging from the candles. That's all the decorative fireplace of cardboard on a solid basis is ready.
The decorative fireplace of cardboard is certainly beautiful and easy and easy, but it still does not compare with a more reliable fellow in the form of a fake firewall. So how to make a false fireplace fireplace with your own hands?
First of all, let's start with what you need:
Main elements:
Decorative:
Auxiliary:
First you need to decide on the size of the future fireplace. To do this, it is better to draw a fireplace - which one you want, and then to determine the size of the real false fireplace, it is better to first select the decorative tile and the shelf and on the basis of their sizes to finalize the size of your fireplace.
Deciding with the dimensions, it is necessary to make a design from profile No. 1, 2, which is then trimmed with drywall No. 3, 4. And it is better to pre-spread the floor and walls, as well as transfer marking on the fireplace details from the working drawing.
Further, the shelf on glue or screws number 5. On the side walls of the focus of glue to liquid nails of the mirror No. 6. Before laying the tile, the entire design is plastering with a thin layer of tiled glue and let it dry №7 (this is improved tile grip with the surface of the plasterboard). Well, in fact, you can proceed to laying the tile No. 8. A day later, you can start a grout, and after some time and to the coating of the tile tile varnish (wish).
In addition, with a sponge and acrylic paint You can somewhat converting the appearance of your fireplace (the main thing is remember: a sponge, macopowing in the paint, you need to get into the paper to dry).
That's all the beautiful false feathering fireplace from drywall! We admire the photo and invent our decor.
Fireplace dimensions: height 100 cm, width 90 cm.
Width "Feet" and depth of 24 cm;
Shelf: 90 * 30 cm, Tile: 20 * 6 cm.
A firewall fireplace can be made of any sizes, different shapes, and the finish of the fireplace can be made in different ways - it all depends on your imagination. In Niche, you can make an arch, glue the mirror in it or make glass shelves to which to put candles. And you can insert an electrocamine or a screen with an image of the flame, however, it is worth it for prudently to carry out electricity to niche. At the same time, if you constantly roll the profile to the walls, remember the tracks of the electrocabilities so that it is not to damage the power grid to the power screw.
You can make the corner false fireplace with your own hands, and the walls of the fireplace decorated not tile and for example Venetian plaster.
If you decide to install electrocamine, pay attention to the convex ears for ventilation - opposite the ears it will be necessary to cut holes for ventilation.
If there is such an opportunity to build a cast-iron fireplace in the base of plasterboard. It turns out a very unusual false fireplace.
My attention was also attracted by the option "Hide" holes for cleaning soot. Falche fireplace is made to the above principle, the beauty of the idea see the photo below. Great idea for those who have a stove.
In addition, you can not stop exclusively on creating a decorative fireplace, excellent with false fireplace combined various designs: Shelves, cabinets, etc. By the way, they are also easy to do all of the same profiles and drywall.
By the way, it is worth noting that the decorative fireplace from drywall is not necessarily screwed to the wall, it is possible to make a "independent" object of the interior, which will be easily rearranged.
In this case, the main part: smooth floor and walls.
If you do not like to work with profiles and plasterboard, you can use a timber and plywood. Once again you need to calculate the size of the future False Fireplace based on the number and size of the tiles (do not forget to take into account the space for the grout). From a bar (in the photo brought a timing of 40 by 40 mm) make a framework. Which is then trimmed by plywood sheets. The reaches of the future fireplace is cut out with an electric jigsaw. The most responsible stage of the work is to glue the artificial stone on Faneru. Modern adhesives and mastic allow it to make it flawlessly.
Please note that the adhesive solution in no case should fall on the front surface of the stone ... it will be practically impossible to cleaned it ...
A wooden canvas for window sills is used as a countertop. Thickness 4 cm.
Painted by Mahagon's English water lacquer.
For the trim, the stone is taken a stone of smaller sizes, painted with water-level paint.
There is a beautiful fireplace from a bar.
It looks good as a fireroom attached to the windowsill.
But these fireplaces from the bar and plywood in the end are practically no different from the fireplace of plasterboard and profiles. Another false fireplace from wood (carved fireplace from a tree) deserves attention. It is possible to make a fireplace from wood from blanks for the foresters (as an option of beech).
In order to make a fireplace from a tree below, it took: 3 steps 140 cm, 3 steps 90 cm, 2 risers 140 and 1 riser 90 cm, 2 staircase and Chinese electric stall for fireplace (photo No. 1, 2).
number essential materials It depends on what fireplace you decide to do (first draw the future fireplace, calculate the required amount of materials and only after go to the store).
On the existing details, cut off all more superfluous (No. 3), milling, opening. Next, apply for all parts of the veil (2 layers with an interval at 6 o'clock) the next day varnish (also 2 layers with intermediate Okurization of the 220th and 400th skin, photo No. 8, 9). After you need to give them a day two dry.
And you can start assembling. Beautiful fireplace From the tree is ready.
Of course, to create such a decorative fireplace requires certain skills and special tools: drawing board, hand-held circular, ribbon grinding, milling cutter, jigsaw, drill and delta gland.
You can make a decorative fireplace of the tree in another way - as shown in the photo below. It turns out very pretty imitation of the fireplace, and most importantly such a false fireplace is easy to make it yourself.
By the way, it is possible not just a false fireplace from the tree, but an original footrest.
And you can buy a beautiful texture board only for top, and the entire foundation is made from plywood sheets, but in the end this option False the fireplace is not similar to any of the previous ones. First you need to cut the strips of 7-8 cm wide from sheets, pollute the edges and paint them into different colors. While they will dry, you feed the base boards to the wall. Next, with the help of joinery glue glue plywood strips to the base on the wall and glue with each other. And in order to dry in time, the design can not fall apart. You can use the press - you can press the entire design using the railing, boards and sticks from the shower curtain (or mop). As a result, you will have such an unusual decorative fireplace.
To those who are the above ways to make a false fireplace, or just a little free time, you can advise false beams from polyurethane. In this case, there will not need a lot of effort, the main thing to buy a beam (one, if you buy enough long, or 2 shorter) cutting it into 3 parts of the required size, and just glue with each other. Such a false fireplace can be supplemented with stucco, paints create an effect effect, attach glass shelf And admire the result. In addition, on the wall in which the fireplace will stand can be imitating brickwork. It turns out a spectacular decorative fireplace, and most importantly make such a fireplace with your own hands very simple.
And those who certainly want a fireplace with a real fire, who have hands grow from where it is necessary and at the same time enough free time, you can advise to make a tabletop biocamine with your own hands.
In order to make a desktop biocamine you will need:
Prepare all materials, glass must match the size of the box. The edges of the glasses must be deguted with alcohol (the better the surface will be degreased, the more reliable there will be a connection). On the edge of the glass we apply the sealant and placing over another glass. Slightly press and keep within a few minutes. We give the time of the P-shaped design to dry and glue the last glass.
Do not worry if the sealant came out of the edges, it can be easily cut off with a razor after complete drying.
Now the screen must be attached to the metal box No. 6. We put the sealant on the glass and install on the base (the metal surface must first be deguted).
We set the jar in the box with fuel and cover the metal grid.
If the grid is small, you can use several parts: the surface will still be covered with stones.
We decorate pebbles across the entire area of \u200b\u200bthe grid, leaving the free part above the jar with fuel.
That's all, biocamine is ready to wait for and admire fire.
To set fire to fuel, use a long lady. You can do spaghetti.
In general, as you can see, there is a lot of ways to make a false fireplace with your own hands. Successful experiments!
If you build a stone or brick fireplace, you are not able to stop on the carton of the fireplace. This fireplace is perfectly suitable for both private houses and apartments, it is easily transferred from place to place and does not require special material investments for its construction. How to independently make a fireplace from cardboard boxes, we learn next.
With the help of the fireplace, it is possible not only to decorate the dwelling before the holidays, but also to create a real New Year's mood. In appearance, such a fireplace is no different from the present, his only difference is the fact that the fireplace is not able to warm the room.
Before the production of the fireplace, determine the place of its location. If there is a few places, then it is best to stay on the corner version of the fireplace. Also, decide on the size of the future design. In this embodiment, it is necessary to proceed from the size of the boxes, from which the fireplace will be cooked and from the size of the room.
In the process of working on a decorative fireplace from cardboard boxes, it will take availability:
Among the main parts of the fireplace, we highlight: the basis, portal and the upper lid.
For the manufacture of the main part we use cardboard. The width of the base is about 50 mm, and the length is about 120 mm. From the cardboard box, it is necessary to build the main part and enclose it with the help of tape. Thus, it is possible to get a blank in the form of a doll house.
For the manufacture of the portal under the fireplace, cardboard is also used. We recommend to stay on the embodiment that has a solid back wall. For the manufacture of the front part, a cardboard segment in the form of a strip is used. Next, you should take care of cutting the furnace part, the size of which is smaller than the fireplace itself. To connect all parts to each other, use Scotch.
This is followed by the process of manufacturing the upper shelf, its quality determines the strength of the fireplace. Therefore, if you plan to install some heavy items on the fireplace, then take care of the strength of this base. To do this, you need to combine several layers of cardboard. To connect details, in this case, use PVA glue. After that, the product is amenable to press until complete drying. Thus, it is possible to create a rigid shelf located on top. To fix the shelf on the portal, use a polymer-based glue. Next, using a painting tape, proof all the joints between the items on the fireplace.
The easiest and most pleasant moment in the manufacture of a fireplace from a cardboard box with their own hands is the process of decorating it. To framing the product, use the molding or baguettes made of foam. Possible option to create stucco. Next follows the process of painting the fireplace. Initially, the product should be given the same tone, most often, it is covered with paint light color. In order for the coloring composition evenly absorbed into the fireplace, we recommend applying it with a brush. For painting stratching and other embossed elements, use a sponge.
Further finishing of the fireplace is performed using a transparent varnish. This material will safely fix the first layer of paint. In order for the fireplace to have a more realistic appearance, it is necessary to cover it with gold paint from the can. For additional fireplace decoration, hang on it New Year's socks, tinsel, garland. In addition, inside the furnace can be punished with wallpapers that melt the brick laying. Please note that the use of burning candles for scenery is unacceptable, as the fireplace is made of cardboard and lightly light up from minimal contact with fire.
As an additional accessory for the New Year's fireplace, we recommend using independently made firewood. For their facilities, it will be necessary:
Turn the cardboard into the tube, use the painting tape and glue to fix it. Length and width logs must be different, a small log cut into parts and connect with a large, making the imitation of the bitch. After drying the glue, paint the logs with white.
Before starting work on a decorative fireplace, first of all, it is necessary to determine the sizes of the fireplace. Note that the fireplace should be located in a prominent place that will make it a central and attractive part of the interior.
In order to determine the size of the fireplace, it is necessary to use a roulette. In the ratio with the place of installation of the future design, its size is determined.
Special attention should be paid to the decorative fireplace finish process. It must accurately resemble a real fireplace made of brick or stone. At the next stage of the work, the material is selected for work and tools. The corpus part of the fireplace is recommended to construct from cardboard on a corrugated basis, from under large household appliances. Such boxes are characterized by high strength and are ideal for creating a fireplace.
In addition, it is necessary to prepare PVA glue and a polymer-based composition. In order to wake corners and other elements of the fireplace, use the painting ribbon. In order for the fireplace to acquire the same color, it is necessary to have white paint. In some cases, the presence of a transparent varnish is also required. To obtain different colors of paint, prepare colored dyes, with their help you can achieve a variety of shades when decorating the fireplace.
Additionally, it is necessary to purchase elements in the form of moldings, corners that will give the fireplace completed. In the process of finishing, you should use figure foam polystyrene and polyurethane details.
In addition, a tool should be prepared in the form of brushes and sponges, pencils and levels. Fuely to clean rags to remove paint or glue from the surface.
We bring to your attention the two most common options of fireplaces:
The fireplace mounted near the wall is distinguished by compact sizes, various decorative parts are installed on the fireplace shelf. A wall fireplace is a central part of the room, it is always in a prominent place and attracts attention to himself. In the process of manufacturing such a fireplace, it is necessary to free the place in the room for its creation. Next, we recommend to get sketches of this fireplace, all parts of which are placed on the floor. The base, portal part and upper shelf are used as the main parts of such a fireplace.
First, start working on the basis. It should differ stiffness and stability. Therefore, there will be little ordinary cardboard, it is necessary to take care of its sealing several layers of cardboard. Inside base, we recommend fixing the ribs of stiffness. This part of the fireplace should be greater than the product itself at 80-120 mm on each side. There are two ways to manufacture a base for false fireplace from cardboard boxes with their own hands:
For the manufacture of side parts of the base, the same strips made of cardboard are used. Thus, the base becomes more durable. Local fixation is carried out using a painting tape.
In the process of manufacturing a stand, consider the method of fixing the portal on the surface. Most often, it is connected to the bottom. An ordinary tape is used for additional fixation of the portal.
The following process is the construction of the portal part of the fireplace. For its manufacture, a previously prepared box of a certain size is used. We offer two options for making the portal with their own hands:
The first option implies the presence of a more rigid design. Since, for the manufacture of frame partitions, several layers of cardboard material are used immediately. Initially, the front and rear portal parts are installed. They increase the strength of the whole design. On the cardboard base, make marking under the fireplace of the fireplace. For its cutting, use the stationery knife. Thus, the manufacture of this part of the fireplace is performed.
For the manufacture of the ceiling of the furnace, cut out a small piece of cardboard, in the ratio with its size. To fix the details, use tape. For additional fixation and strengthening the main part of the fireplace, use frame design In the form of ribs hardness.
For the manufacture of frame panels that increase the rigidity of the base, solid cardboard rectangles are used. They are connected to each other using PVA glue and leak up using the press. This follows the process of fixing the rectangle data on the front portal part.
There is another way to create frame elements. These partitions facilitate the total weight of the fireplace. They have the shape of a lattice separation partition. On lattices with increased rigidity, another layer of cardboard material is recorded. The portal is installed on the base of the podium and recorded on it with a painting ribbon or adhesive composition. After installing the frame, the process of its staining and decorating is made.

In order to hide all connections between cardboard parts, use a painting tape. On the frame side of the fireplace, you can install various decorative elements. Note that in this case, the frame walls are additionally condensed with cardboard.
The second method of the design of the Christmas fireplace is your own hands from cardboard boxes - more simple performed. The rear wall of such a fireplace will have a solid form, while it is not possible to equip the shelves.
A painting tape is also used to connect the fireplace parts. Enough, according to the sketch cut in the box machine part. On the side parts of the case, fixation of rectangular strips is performed. Thus, the focal part is generated. Next, you should fix the finished fireplace form on the podium. First, the surface is covered with glue, and then additionally fixed with scotch.
The upper part of such a fireplace plays the role of the shelf. Note that the weight of this element should not exceed the weight of the fireplace, since there is a risk of its deformation. For the manufacture of shelves, use several connected cardboard sheets. The top layer is used from cardboard with maximum density.
To fix the shelf on the fireplace, use liquid nails. Possible option to manufacture shelves from plywood base. In this case, its thickness should not exceed one centimeter. Even better, use moisture-resistant faeer.
The next stage of work on the fireplace is to decorate it. From the quality of its execution, the attractiveness of the finished product directly depends directly. The first way to decorate, implies the use of purchased decorative elements from polyurethane. To divide the fireplace to several zones, a small molding is used. Next sets the stucco. A variant of the manufacture of columns is also possible.
To fix these items, use liquid nails. The following is the process of coloring the fireplace with all previously installed decor elements. For these purposes, we recommend using a sponge and brush.
This is followed by the process of additional work on the allocation of these elements. For example, stucco, you can highlight with gold color. After completing staining, the coating process of the fireplace varnish, which prevent paint damage. Possible imitation option brick wall. For these purposes, a plaster-based putty is used.
Additionally, firewood is installed in the furnace, which make the appearance of the fireplace more attractive and realistic. Installing garlands near wood, helps imitate the flame.
