We create a bed for the doll with our own hands. Children and parents participate.
Today in stores you can find the mostvarious products, including doll beds. However, like beds for people, furniture for dolls is quite expensive. And there is a way out of this situation - make a bed yourself. Making it is much easier than you think. Imagine what a storm of positive emotions awaits you after such a gift. After all, you will create a cozy bed for your favorite bunny, doll or another toy.
To make such a craft, you will not even need to buy anything, everything you need may be at hand. To make such a craft, you will need:
- cardboard box,
- glue,
- pencil or felt-tip pen,
- Scotch,
- wire or line,
- the cloth,
- dark cardboard.
First, let's make templates - on thethe base of the crib and on the backs. The dimensions of the doll's bed can be very different. One of the options: the width of the bed is 20 cm, the length is 40 cm, the backs of the high back are 16 cm, the low one is 14 cm. Take scissors in your hands and cut out the details from cardboard according to the template.
If you have a very small child, cut it out.details as much as possible. This is necessary so that the bed is durable. Then we take PVA glue and glue all the details on top of each other, that is, in layers. We cut off about five pieces of wire 60 centimeters long. After we have glued four layers of cardboard, we lay the wire on top in several rows and glue it with tape to fix it. We pour glue over all of this, carefully place the cardboard and its remains and glue it. Then we put it under something heavy. While our composition dries, we take the backs and glue them together in threes. And also put it under some weight. After some time, we take the bed parts out from under the press, pierce the backs with an awl and put them to the wire.
When all the parts of the bed are dry and"tightly" glued, take the backs in your hands and mark with a pencil the places of contact with the wire. Tie it tightly and cut off the excess. Glue everything that is left of the cardboard to the backs with glue. Then take the paper and glue it to the finished doll's crib. You can paint it with paint. Cover the crib with a bed, and you can already play with it. In such a product, made with your own hands, your baby's toy will sleep. Do not doubt that the baby will be delighted with the crib.You can decorate the finished craft with stickers or paper. It is not recommended to use pencils, markers, paints to decorate the crib, since they stain even when dry.
