- adhesive ("Moment" or PVA);
- cardboard (it can be cut from other boxes);
- adhesive glue gun or usual brush for glue;
- at will - brush and paint;
- finishing material (the remains of unnecessary kitchen oilcloth, wallpaper, self-adhesive film, beautiful wrapping paper, pieces of fabric, faience tiles, foam ceiling tiles);
- anything: scraps of lace, New Year's "rain", pieces of fringe, satin ribbons or braid, bows from gifts, chopsticks from a scattered Vietnamese rug, toothpicks, pieces of bamboo blinds, plastic cork.
Making a house for dolls
First of all, you should decide on the sizes.A dollhouse made from a box can be of any size: from small, from a shoe box, to huge, from several boxes of household appliances. It all depends only on the area of the children's room, the size of the dolls and the grandeur of your plans.
Let's say you want to build it yourselfmedium sized doll house. Let's take a few cardboard boxes. These will be rooms for dolls. We cut off the front walls of the boxes: the doll house should be open. The boxes can be installed on two floors and can be used to create a living room, bedroom, bathroom and kitchen. The boxes should be carefully glued together. The roof of a box house can be made pointed by using two pieces of cardboard from the cut off front walls. If you don’t want to bother with several boxes, you can make a house out of a box from something large (for example, a TV), dividing its interior space with cardboard partitions.
Remember that children are not yet so good atwork with your hands like adults. Therefore, although PVA glue does not set as quickly, it is easier to wash and there is less possible damage from it than from “Moment”. To prevent the glued structure from coming apart, the parts should be fastened with clothespins or paper clips before the glue dries. You should cut windows in the side walls with a sharp knife and cover the sections with colored paper.
The floors of the rooms are covered with oilcloth orself-adhesive tape; for the living room it would be good to choose a material that imitates wood or parquet. Real earthenware tiles are suitable for the bathroom floor. You can stick a piece of foam ceiling tile on the living room ceiling. As wallpaper, you can use either real wallpaper or fabric or wrapping paper. If you prefer to paint the walls of the rooms with your own hands, instead of wallpaper you should stick on white or plain colored paper.
Some ideas for making doll houses from boxes
If you are a lover of small forms or simply don’tIf you are determined to create something monumental with your own hands, you can make a house for dolls from a McDonald's box or a box from a New Year's gift. By the way, dolls also have holidays, so for the New Year it is customary to decorate box houses with rain, garlands, pine cones, and spruce branches. You can create a “summer garden” for dolls by using plastic corks wrapped in foil as flower pots, and gift bows as flowers. Beautiful curtains are made from lace or pieces of guipure.
If there are too many dolls, you have nothingThere will be no choice but to make the box house multi-story. You can make a staircase with your own hands by cutting it out of two strips of corrugated wrapping cardboard, fastened together with cardboard rectangles - “steps”. You can use matches or toothpicks as railings.
For a child to make a house for dolls own hands- a special pleasure. Creating a house of boxes, a young designer gets the opportunity to arrange space to your liking, develop logic and practical note.
