How to make a house out of cardboard?


To create a New Year's house from cardboard with our own hands, we need:

Corrugated cardboard various sizes. You can take large sheets carton or a whole box.

Cardboard tubes (from paper towels, gift paper, etc.).

Sharp knife for cutting paper.

Sticky tape (preferably the color of cardboard).

Markers, pencils, paints, glitter and other decorations.

Corrugated cardboard - perfect option to create a New Year's house from cardboard with your own hands. It is easy to cut, bend, glue and decorate. Getting cardboard, as a rule, is not difficult. The more cardboard you take, the larger your house will be. However, it is worth considering that only clean, dry cardboard is suitable for creating a house.

Of course, the easiest way is to use a ready-made box. Take a close look at your home or office and collect any empty boxes. It can be, for example, boxes from a TV, computer, washing machine, etc. If you do not have empty boxes, you can ask for them at the nearest store.

Cardboard tubes are very important when creating a New Year's house from cardboard with your own hands. They help to give stability to our home.

The primary task in the construction of a cardboard house is to determine its size. Once you have decided on the dimensions, you can make the corners of the house. Find four large pieces of cardboard of the same size. Bend the ends slightly and pin them together. Fasten with adhesive tape.



Next, reinforce the corners with cardboard tubes. To do this, we need tubes of the same height as the walls of the house. We glue the tubes with adhesive tape. If you don't have a tube right size, then you can glue several small tubes together.

We make small cuts on the edge of each tube. They will fasten ceiling beams". We insert cardboard tubes into these cuts. First, on each tube, we make longitudinal cuts into which we insert sheets of cardboard. This will be our roof.

Our house is almost ready. Now you should cut through the windows and doors. This can be done with a sharp knife.

Our do-it-yourself New Year's cardboard house is ready for decoration. It is best to give the decoration of the house to children. Let them show all their imagination. Maybe as a result you will get a huge cottage, or maybe a castle, spaceship or even a barn.

The tiles on the roof can be drawn with a marker and painted with colored paints. The walls of the house can be painted in a single color or create bright New Year's patterns.

The interior design of the cardboard house can be anything. Since we are making a house in the New Year theme, we use paper garlands and snowflakes, Christmas trees and figurines of New Year characters, tinsel, serpentine and rain, etc. Snow on the roof can be imitated with cotton wool. Glue it on with glue.

Our Christmas story ready.

You can also just make a small gift New Year's house out of cardboard with your own hands.

First we need to make the roof. Cut off the excess cardboard so that we get triangles on top. Note that precision is required at this stage so that all four sides of the roof are the same size. We fix the roof with adhesive tape.

We draw windows and doors and cut them out with an office knife.

Using curly scissors, cut out the tiles from cardboard and glue them to the roof with glue layer by layer.

  • With a circular knife, you need to cut a couple of strips on a burgundy sheet of cardboard that have external diameter 5.2 cm, the inner must fit 4.4 cm.
  • Now, using a flower-shaped hole punch, we make 18 flowers from burgundy cardboard. There should be an equal number of them, since the flower on the product must be made up of a couple of pieces.


  • To make the flowers take on a certain shape, look more interesting, you should use foam rubber and a scoring stick. Lay each flower in turn on the foam rubber and slide a creasing stick from the center of the flower towards the edges of the petals.

  • A flower should be formed from a pair of separate elements, carefully glued together, then a core of three beads should be attached to the center of the flower.

  • We assemble the product - we glue the roof, base, chimney, window rim.

  • Due to the fact that our product performs the function of a Christmas tree toy, the house will need a loop for which the craft will be hung on the Christmas tree. We use waxed twine for the loop. For this purpose, a small knot should be made at the end of the loop. The loop must be threaded into a slot located on the roof of the product.

  • It is necessary to cut out a circle from gold-colored cardboard, the diameter of which is 5.2 cm. On it you need to make a stamp with a New Year theme or write the inscription: “Happy New Year!”, Stick this circle on the back of the product in a predetermined place using double-sided tape .
