Any child dreams of his own house, where he can create an individual atmosphere and enjoy the game. Basically, such houses are divided into two types: intended for the child himself and for dolls. Any house made of cardboard is quite simple to make, since this material is soft and practical. To make a beautiful, correct and neat design, you must follow the instructions for their assembly.
Little girls love to play house. Why not build a cardboard teremok for the little hostess, not make for him a voluminous ladder, along which the dolls could "move" on floors, not assemble from the same cardboard doll furniture? Making crafts for children is fun and enjoyable, especially if you do it with your child. Drawings with detailed dimensions can be found in one of our videos, you can also download a scan from which the pattern can be obtained, and the instructions will help you step by step through the manufacturing process.
Any child dreams of his own house, where he can create an individual atmosphere and enjoy the game
The easiest dollhouse to make is considered to be one made of cardboard.... The best material for creating such structures will be cardboard boxes from under household appliances or thick art cardboard. This material will allow you to create high-quality, strong structures and will not overshadow the children's gameplay.
While working on the creation of the house you will need:
A small house is made according to the following instructions:
The easiest dollhouse to make is considered to be one made of cardboard.
Then you need to move on to the decorative interior and exterior of the structure.
To make a house beautiful and interesting, you need to design it correctly. The first step is to strengthen the structure by doing exterior decoration building. To do this, you can use self-adhesive paper or glue the body with plain white paper using double-sided tape. Such wall treatment will strengthen the joints of the structure and extend its durability.
To make the house beautiful and interesting, you need to design it correctly.
After that, you should go to the interior decoration:
Making a dollhouse with your own hands with your child will not only allow you to immerse him in an interesting creative process, activate his imagination, but also develop accuracy and gain skills in working with cardboard, paper and glue.
In order for the floors in the dollhouse to be interconnected, it is necessary to make a staircase. It is very simple to do this, you just need to measure the height of the room, determine the length of the desired staircase.
In the process of making stairs you will need:
In order for the floors in the dollhouse to be interconnected, it is necessary to make a staircase
Step-by-step instruction:
Railings can be glued to the stairs if desired, but they will complicate the use of this adjacent element during the game.
Many children dream of their own small house where they can retire and enjoy the game. Such an object brings a sense of coziness and comfort to the game, which is why it is popular among children. In order not to purchase expensive constructions, a toy orphanage can be glued from ordinary cardboard.
For this it will come in handy:
The layout of the play house is assembled according to the following instructions:
After complete assembly at home, you can proceed to decorating it. Home decoration can be done using various materials... Most often, colored paper, paints, fabric, wallpaper are used for this. It is best to put such a house in the corner of the room, since in this place its dimensions will not interfere with free movement around the room.
The first step is to draw a diagram of the house. If you skip this step, the design may be sloppy or uneven. As a basis, you need to take a cross scan, in the center of which there will be a base - the floor, and the crosspiece itself will form the walls of the structure. If the child is large and it is necessary to make a house in his full height, it is better to depict each detail separately.
The first step is to draw a diagram of the house.
For the construction of a large orphanage you can use ready-made schemes. The simplest of these is a house sweep with corner roof... It should be enlarged to the desired size and transferred to cardboard sheets. If desired, each element of the house can be drawn separately, keeping all the proportions presented.
Paper is the simplest and most suitable material for a variety of creativity. Already from three months, the child has been paying attention to rustling leaves and is engaged in them for a long time and with enthusiasm. As they get older, children do not lose interest in paper and love to make from it different subjects... They are insanely happy when adults do crafts with them.
And if you ask a child what he wants to do, most often it turns out that this is a house. Moreover, it is the houses that both boys and girls love to create with their own hands. Apparently, children, albeit unconsciously, already perceive the house as the main attribute of life. How to quickly and easily make a house out of paper?
Tools and materials for creating a paper house
When you decide to brighten up a family evening or a child at school gets an assignment to make such a craft, you need a little imagination, paper, glue and just a few tools. The paper can be any: thin from color sets, sheets of notebooks or albums, drawing (which, by the way, glues perfectly) or pieces of wallpaper. You will need scissors, a ruler and a pencil, and sometimes a glue brush.
If you have a clerical knife, it will help you quickly and accurately cut the cuts of windows and doors. The glue is very different: in tubes, PVA glue, wallpaper, glue stick, homemade paste or paper in bottles, scotch tape. The selection of items for decorating the future house depends on the scope of your imagination with your child. Paints, gouache, colored pencils, beads, cotton wool, lace and other items for application are suitable.
You can do a magical action at a table, on a wide windowsill, or sitting on the floor. If only the surface is smooth and resistant to glue and scratches (you can put a board or plywood).
Preparing a sketch of a paper house
When constructing a house, small or voluminous, simple or complex, first create a sketch. Work begins with a drawing. If you have only small sheets for making a bigger house, you can cut the drawing along the dotted line and perform each part separately.
When cutting the drawing, remember that the right side will remain without a bend for applying glue and it needs to be finished. You can add a floor to the sketch of the house. But is it necessary? Without it, it is more convenient for a child to place toys: dishes, furniture, "tenants" of various sizes, and not everything can get through the door.
Connecting parts, decorating and assembling a paper house
Then the parts of the house are cut out and "construction" begins, smearing and gluing special folds.
It will take some time to dry the product.
The new building lacks stability - it is better to install and glue it on a cardboard frame.
The design of the house can be complicated by adding an annex, porch, attic, second floor, balcony and other elements. The stages of work remain the same: creating a sketch - cutting out parts - decor - gluing - drying.
Other options for paper houses
Round-shaped houses turn out to be very interesting from paper.
When you sketch, the body of this design looks like a solid long rectangle. The craft is glued one fold at a time. And the roof is often drawn separately in the form of a circle, then trimmed and connected to the body with glue.
But it is also possible to build a drawing in unity with the roof. Then many cuts are made for the roof, which can then be glued with an overlap, creating a conical shape.
With great enthusiasm, children make fabulous "log" huts.
The materials for work are taken the same, but the technology for building such a house is completely different. Here, first they procure construction material... From identical long paper rectangles with the help of a pencil, make tubes - "logs".
Whether it will be a small house or a voluminous house depends on the size and number of rolled tubes. Usually, guys compete with adults or among themselves, who will roll or glue more.
Then the walls are neatly folded from the finished material. There are options here: the walls are glued with gaps, where there are two logs in a row, or a solid masonry is glued in four tubes each with their displacement to the edges in the next row. The roof of the house can be "log" or smooth.
Save the diagram to your computer and print.
You can make a paper house using origami technique
Creation of origami figures, including houses, according to ready-made schemes serves the development of logical and spatial thinking of the child, the activation of his thought processes. You can do origami anywhere, for example, in line to see a doctor.
Having created the first simple paper houses with your own hands, you can come up with many other unusually interesting crafts and more often make them together with your beloved child.
The level of technology development today allows architects to embody the wildest fantasies from almost any material, which until recently was not intended for the construction of residential structures. At the same time, housing must meet several basic requirements - to be environmentally friendly, durable and fast-built. All these properties are inherent modular houses original form from at least original material- cardboard.
Wikkelhouse - wrapped house
For more than four years, innovators from the Dutch design studio Fiction Factory have developed a project for a small mobile corrugated house. This unusual choice of material is explained by one of the developers.
Rick Butcher
Cardboard is not appreciated at its true worth and is massively used only as packaging, but meanwhile, it is lightweight, strong enough, and even the indicators of thermal insulation and sound insulation are good. And we decided to test it by creating a residential building, even if it is still unusual.
The house is assembled from separate modules, the length of each is 4.6 m, the width is 1.2 m, the height in the ridge is 3.5 m, weight is 500 kg, the number of segments varies depending on the wishes of the customer. The modules represent a spatial metal frame, which is wrapped with a cardboard tape on a special device, with gluing of each turn. It turns out a kind of cocoon of 24 layers, which forms the walls, floor and roof of the required thickness.
The number and size of windows is determined by the customer, as well as the type of door system - the module looks most advantageous with panoramic glazing. Also, at the planning stage, the complete set of the house is determined - special modules with a built-in kitchen, a bathroom and an outlet for a chimney are made. It is supposed to heat the house in cold weather with a wood-fired stove.
Since the weight metal frame, covered with cardboard, relatively small, a reinforced foundation is not required under the house, usually it is a columnar base, as for frame frames or concrete supports... The finished modules are brought to the site, connected into a single structure, and after installation, the surface of the entire house is covered with a special, waterproof, but at the same time breathable film. As a finishing facade material - pine slats. The house does not have a roof in the usual sense, just the upper part of the modules is made in the form of two slopes and is also covered with wood when facing. From the inside, the house is sheathed with plywood, such an interior is successfully combined with an ergonomic shape and a transparent entrance. All materials used to create a house can be reused after recycling. The developers predict that Wikkelhouse will be able to serve its owners for up to a century, but only on the condition that the protective film is updated every three decades.
A large and impressive craft, but what can't you do for your beloved children!

Operating procedure:
It so happened that one of the daughters fell ill with chickenpox, and I needed to keep them busy at home. We decided to make it all together house for our dolls... They made it according to the principle: I blinded him from what was. We did not find a finished box, but there was a fairly large piece of cardboard and many small pieces of various thicknesses and textures. I thought that our house would be a small one of two rooms, but that was not the case: 2 young designers had their own thoughts about our house.
As a result, we began to do Dollhouse 3 floors for 5 rooms(later the upper floor was divided into 2 parts and 6 rooms were released).
From a large piece of cardboard, I cut out 1 piece - this is the back wall of our house and 2 side ones (see photo 1).
Then she turned back 2 side walls and began to glue the floor and ceiling (photo 2).
The house has dimensions: height - 74 cm, width - 50 cm, depth - 30 cm.
I pasted over the blank of our house with pieces of wallpaper and suitable paper (see photo 3).
Outside, the house is covered with wallpaper, the roof is 3 cm by 31 cm strips of cardboard, glued with an overlap.
Frames are glued from strips of cardboard.
Our house needed a variety of puppet, which we tried to make with our own hands from scrap materials. I glued everything by eye without preliminary drawings and patterns. I just cut off a cardboard rectangle and glued the necessary pieces to it. All furniture is painted with acrylic paint and covered with acrylic varnish.
So, room number 1 - bedroom... There is a lot of furniture in it, and the first thing to start with is this. It is quite easy to glue it, just look at photo 4.
I covered the cardboard blank with acrylic paint, varnished it after the paint dried, glued on a soft mattress, added several soft pillows and a bedspread.
The next pieces of furniture are a chest of drawers and a bedside table (photos 5 and 6).
The principle of their manufacture is the same - a small cardboard box, to which false boxes are glued. There was a place in the bedroom for a comfortable rocking chair (photo 7).
A large and roomy wardrobe also found its place (photo 8).
In photo 9, the whole room is in color.
You can also see how to make a bed for dolls (and other furniture) on the Samodelushki channel:
Room number 2 - common room to watch TV. The TV in our house is flat - a large cardboard rectangle was covered with black acrylic paint, after drying, a suitable picture was glued and everything was covered with acrylic varnish.
The main place in this room is occupied by a spacious one, which houses a large puppet family.
The base of the sofa is a cardboard blank (photo 10).
The back and armrests are covered with paint and varnish, and the base is glued with padding polyester and fabric. The daughters already had a table - this wooden constructor, on which we glued a piece of cardboard and dyed everything together.
We see room number 2 in photo 11.
Video how to make a wardrobe:
On the second floor of our house there is a music lounge and a kitchen.
IN music lounge there is a fireplace (photo 12).
It, unlike all our furniture, is covered with cracks. In the beginning, it was covered with white acrylic paint. After it dries, a layer of craquelure medium is applied. After this layer has dried, a layer of black acrylic paint is applied. After drying, the entire product is covered with matt acrylic lacquer.
Since our living room is musical, a piano was glued from 6 matchboxes (photo 13). It was immediately pasted over with colored paper, but the paper turned out to be of poor quality, and later it was painted, like all the furniture in the house. In addition, I glued 2 square beads to it - these are the pedals.
The piano chair (photo 14) is glued from cardboard, painted and decorated with a velvet cushion.
A sofa (photo 15) and an armchair (photo 16). I glued them together from cardboard and decided not to glue them over with a cloth, but just paint them with paint, my daughters gladly helped me with this. After applying varnish, they are very similar to leather.
The entire music room after painting the furniture (photo 17).
Room number 4 is a kitchen, it is small but roomy. Kitchen set- this is Big cupboard in the shape of the letter G (photo 18).
The sink is a small plastic container for jam, and the faucet is molded from modeling mass, and a small hanging cabinet:
Electric stove with 4 burners (photo 20), its door opens.
In the kitchen we have 2 chairs (photo 21) and a table (photo 22).
Of the little things, the dishes were glued together (photo 23).
Photo 24 shows our kitchen after applying paints and varnish.
On the top floor we have accommodated children's and toilet room.
IN children's the main place is occupied by a bunk bed (photo 25).
She has soft mattresses and pillows. In the room stands small table(photo 26) and chair photo 27.
There is also a toy locker (photo 28).
In this room, I did not cut through the window, but simply glued the cardboard to the side wall. The room is decorated with a colored alphabet (cut from paper packaging for a child's toy). On photo 29 is a nursery in color.
Almost all the chandeliers in our house are glued from disposable containers, beads, rooster sticks and braid.
Only one, which is in the music room, is made of beads, wire and bead accessories.
I also glued the ladder to the house, but we still have it attached, because I'm afraid that if you glue it, it will interfere with the simultaneous play of 2 children.
For toilet room we needed a toilet, sink and bathtub. It was necessary to make them quickly and easily.
And I decided to just sculpt them from the mass for modeling. This is what we did later with our daughters (photo 30).
They may not be ideal, but they are made together.
Our works dried up for about a day. Next, we painted them with white acrylic paint and covered them with glossy acrylic varnish. After drying, the tank turned out to be rather heavy, then I replaced it with a lighter one (cut it out of the cork and painted it). To keep the sink firmly on the wall, I glued the bedside table under it. The bedside table was painted like all the furniture in the house. Next, I glued the bedside table to the wall and floor of the house, and then glued the sink. A faucet (molded from a sculpting mass) and beads are glued to the sink. There was no ready-made mirror, and we also have it made of cardboard.
The toilet is made of several parts - a base, rooster sticks, a cistern (made of cork), chains and beads.
All this construction is complemented by a seat - cut out of cardboard and pasted over with a plain cloth.
In photo 32, the entire dressing room is in color.
So quickly and fun from scrap materials, together with our daughters, we built our dollhouse. Such crafts always make children happy.
Let it be quite simple for now, but the daughters are quite happy with it and play together with pleasure.
