How to make a house - step by step

Do-it-yourself cardboard house

Before starting work, choose the appropriate drawings of the house, it is worth figuring out what material is best to use, how to cut holes, glue rooms so that the structure is strong and stable.

How to choose cardboard, boxes?

An important material is the boxes, or rather the cardboard from which the boxes are made. Difference various kinds cardboard is shown in the photo below:

The cardboard structures shown in the left picture are strong, stable, and do not deform under the weight of subsequent floors. The cardboard floor shown in the right picture may sag under the weight of the next floor, you will have to start work again.

How to cut out rooms?

Cutting rooms is not easy. After looking at many photos of the houses, it can be seen that some of the holes have a frame. This is the most convenient option holes. Removing the entire side is a mistake! Such a room will tremble, disintegrate, look unsightly. The frame (albeit without the bottom part) needs to be cut out and in cardboard boxes to be combined, increasing the interior of the rooms. To understand what we are talking about, you should look at the visual aids in the form of pictures below.

Here's how to create a room from one box: you need to designate the future access hole, leave 5 centimeters for the frame, cut out the hole.

Step-by-step drawings of a house consisting of two boxes

Connecting rooms - stitching walls

To prevent the dollhouse from falling apart, you need to ensure a strong connection between the rooms. Reliable way connecting rooms from cardboard boxes- stitching.

Would need:

• gypsy needle,
• thick thread,
• pliers.

The cardboard is sewn with the simplest large stitches.

Regardless of whether you combine boxes with an open connector or with a door opening, we always follow the rule: we sew along the edge!

It is necessary to "immobilize" the boxes in the workplace, where they can move, disperse under the influence of the applied glue, it will be difficult to work, it is easy to spoil the final result. Below are 3 examples of stitching rooms.

	The drawing connects 2 boxes without holes. It is necessary to “grab” the middle in several places so that the cardboard does not move after gluing.
	The second drawing shows an example of stitching boxes with a hole. Note. In this and the following drawings, for better visibility of the seams, some of the walls of the rooms are "hidden".
	The third drawing shows an example of stitching boxes with a hole for the door.

Connecting ceilings to floors

1. Sew the ceiling and floor close to the edge - this is the same rule for walls and ceilings.
2. There is a second rule: you need to immobilize the "dangling" elements - the parts indicated in the figure below:

Now let's start sewing. First, the outer edges are sewn together, then the inner ones.

At the end, we fix the dangling elements, sew along the line of their contact.

Attention. Dangling elements located on the floor of the upper floor and on the ceiling of the lower floor, if they do not overlap, we hem each. The diagrams below show such a situation. I:

What if the dangling elements do not touch each other, and a hole is obtained?

• If the situation occurs on the ceiling - it's okay.
• If a hole is made in the floor, it must be closed.

There are 3 ways to close the hole.

1. The first is to choose another box.
2. The second is to rotate the cardboard box 180 degrees vertically (the hole will move to the ceiling).
3. The third is to fill the hole, you need to insert a piece of cardboard of the appropriate size (the same thickness as the whole cardboard), then sew it on, as shown in the diagram below.

Shapes and sizes

Above is the basic knowledge of sewing a dollhouse out of cardboard boxes. Which option to choose depends on the builder. By choosing boxes, you can manipulate the size, distribution of rooms, create a tiny one-story house or a huge multi-level villa. Below are a few diagrams depicting the addition of the next floors of the dollhouse. Boxes may have different height, width, depth, giving the house a special shape.

Photo of the design of cardboard houses

Dollhouse made of plywood, photo

The plywood house is a real challenge. Plywood is harder to work with than cardboard. It is worth preparing for work in advance. The plan is important, the design of the house, drawn on a sheet with dimensions. Below are instructions on how to build a plywood dollhouse step by step.

Drafting a project

It is desirable to draw the project on a sheet in a cage. The scale might look like this: 2 cells on a sheet = 10 centimeters. It is so easy to calculate the actual dimensions of the house. The house can be made small or a larger structure - with 2-3 floors.

• The small house in the diagram has dimensions: width - 60, height - 57 centimeters.
• The large house shown in the picture is 120 cm high and 80 cm wide. Depth - 22 centimeters.

Calculation of the amount of materials, necessary tools

Below is a calculation for the production of a large house.

Necessary materials:

• hardwood plywood 4 mm thick, dimensions 90/22 centimeters (side walls) - 2 pieces;
• plywood 4 mm, dimensions 80 × 22 centimeters (bottom and top part structures) - 2 pieces;
• plywood 4 mm, dimensions 79.2 × 22 centimeters (floors) - 2 pieces;
• plywood 4 mm, dimensions 50 × 22 centimeters (roof) - 2 pieces;
• plywood 4 mm, dimensions 30 × 22 centimeters ( internal walls) - 2 pieces;
• plywood 4 mm, dimensions 60 × 20 centimeters (front wall with a chimney);
• laminated fiberboard 3 mm 120 × 80 cm (rear wall);
• acrylic paint for wood.

Tools and accessories:

• glue for wood;
• hammer, nails;
• jigsaw;
• sponge roller;
• ruler;
• pencil.

Step-by-step instruction

1. Plywood painting. Plywood elements need to be covered acrylic paint. Ready product painting is much more difficult. Hypoallergenic paints are now available, drying in 20-30 minutes. The paints are non-toxic, odorless and can be used indoors.
2. Construction rectangular frame . When the paint dries, you can start building a rectangular cottage. You will need: plywood 4 mm, dimensions 90 × 22 cm (side walls) - 2 pieces; plywood 4 mm, dimensions 80 × 22 cm (lower and upper part of the structure) - 2 pieces. Glue must be applied to the tangent edges of individual plywood elements, matching them with each other at a right angle, we fasten the connection with small nails. 4mm plywood is very brittle, so accuracy in nailing is important. Attention, the use of glue is necessary! Without its binding properties, the nails will fall out of the plywood, the work is done in vain.
3. Construction of individual floors. The next step is to attach the shelves that will serve as the floor for the individual floors. Shelves consist of 2 sheets of plywood measuring 79.2 x 22 cm each. In the project, each floor has a height of 30 cm. On a rectangular structure, measure 30 cm from the base, then another 60 centimeters from the base. Draw a horizontal line marking the place where the first shelf is attached, draw it with glue, attach the shelf to the line. Do the same work 60 cm from the base. Then attach 2 shelves with nails to the side walls.
4. Back wall cutout. Now it's time to make a 120 x 80 cm laminated fiberboard back wall. On the long sides of the board, measure 30 cm from the top edge. Mark the center of the top edge - this is the future roof. Draw 2 lines from the top of the roof to the places marked at a height of 30 centimeters from above, you will get the outline of a triangle. Using a jigsaw, cut out the shape of the house along the drawn lines.
5. Rear wall fixing. We cover the edges of the fiberboard with glue, attach it to the house, fix it with nails.
6. Roof. For the roof, 2 pieces of plywood 50 × 22 centimeters each were used. Lubricate the triangular edges of the fiberboard and one shorter edge of the plywood with glue. Glue the roof to the edge of the house by joining both sheets of plywood at right angles. Reinforce the structure with nails.
7. Chimney. From plywood 60 × 20 cm in size, we cut out the shape of a chimney with a fragment of the facade. Don't forget to cut out the bathroom door. The first element must be glued, then nailed to the edge of the top shelf and roof.
8. Dividing walls. The last stage of construction is the insertion of dividing partitions that form separate rooms. Use 2 plywood 30 x 22 cm. You need to place plywood in the space of your choice between floors. You can freely move them, changing the size, location of the rooms.

Despite the abundance of newfangled toys that flooded the children's departments, the dreams of little girls remain unchanged from generation to generation. And one of these dreams will definitely be a dollhouse. It is easy to make this toy with your own hands. And the joy and delight of the little princess will please the master.

The best gift for a daughter would be a dollhouse that dad will make with his own hands. Before starting work, you should decide what the building will be. Almost any material is suitable for its creation, from cardboard boxes to polystyrene. However, it is worth taking care of the durability of the structure so that it does not fail at the most crucial moment.

The most practical and hardy house is considered to be made of laminate or plywood. It is more difficult to make it, but the efforts made will pay off with interest, because a product made from such a material will be difficult to distinguish from a purchased one.

The construction of the building itself is a box without a front wall. Inside this box, small compartments are provided that play the role of rooms. Sometimes the house is made through, but it will be more practical to equip the building with a back wall.

For aesthetic appearance in the “resting state”, the house is also equipped with a front wall, which is attached using door hinges. Such a house can be closed so that the doll interior does not litter the girl's room.

Some masters prefer to make a house on wheels. This design can be moved around the room or apartment. The front wall in this case is simply necessary so that the sofa or the tenant of the house is not lost during the move.

Plywood, laminate or wood

A laminate house will become a real masterpiece, so you need to take it seriously. To get started, you should choose a drawing or draw a diagram yourself.

So, to create a house you will need:

• Durable material such as plywood.
• PVA, as well as wood glue.
• Electric jigsaw.
• Roulette, ruler, pencil.
• Material for finishing walls and floors in the house. Self-adhesive film will do.
• Wallpaper.

To draw the same details, for example, interior partitions, you can use a paper template. The rest of the details of the house are drawn on paper, then transferred to plywood. The walls of the house are cut out of plywood. On the cut out details, windows are marked and they are also cut out, doors are cut out.

Joiner's glue will help to assemble the parts together. You can strengthen the structure with small carnations, which is especially true for large houses.

There is no urgent need for a roof, but its presence will be the logical conclusion of the building. You can also paste over it with cardboard and draw tiles on it.

The assembled house should be glued to a piece of plywood, somewhat wider than the base of the house itself. This will give him stability. Pieces of plywood sticking out on the sides can be beaten. For example, to make a lawn covered with artificial grass out of them.

It is advised to wallpaper the walls even before assembling the house. You can do this in the finished structure, but it is much more convenient to assemble already dried parts. The same applies to gender. However, it should be borne in mind that glue is “capricious” to some surfaces.

You can decorate the interior of the house as you wish. Doll furniture, textiles and rugs will come in handy. You can also leave the issue of the interior open, so that the owner will take care of its arrangement personally.

Drywall and other materials

If drywall remained after the repair, then fate itself ordered to create a masterpiece from it for the little princess. From such a durable and serious material, you can make a real building with many floors, a bathroom and a kitchen.

Of the advantages of the material, it is worth noting the ease of construction and White color drywall, making the house look neat. The comparative purity of the process is also considered a plus. For example, working with Styrofoam will surely bring a little snowfall to the workshop.

With the help of drywall, you can make partitions between rooms and toy furniture. It is very convenient to paste over such walls with wallpaper.

4. Joiner's glue. Great option for fastening plywood parts. Dries quickly, no bad smell and does not leave marks on the material.
5. Mounting tape. It is recommended to use as an additional means for fixing parts, especially in those places where strength and reliability of the structure is required.
6. Self-tapping screws. The main structural elements for reliability can be additionally fixed with self-tapping screws.

Additionally, you should prepare materials for decorating the house. To do this, you can use wallpaper or films that imitate them, colored paper and cardboard, film as a floor covering. You can also use pieces of linoleum, fabric, felt, laminate. Additional paints and glue are required. Plexiglas or plastic should be inserted into the windows.

Plywood dollhouse manufacturing technology

To make a plywood doll house, first of all, you need to transfer the images from the sketch to the plywood. To do this, the elements of the drawing should be printed or drawn by hand, after transferring them to sheets of material.

Cut out the details with a jigsaw, after which the edges must be carefully processed sandpaper so that the edges of all parts are even and smooth. If windows are not indicated on the diagram, at this stage they should be marked on the workpieces, cut out and also processed with sandpaper.

A simple dollhouse

After that, you can go directly to the assembly of the house:

1. With the help of building glue and self-tapping screws, it is necessary to attach the side walls to the base.
2. On the side walls it is necessary to mount the ceilings of the second and third floors, as well as all internal partitions. If the parts were not cut very carefully, and gaps formed between them, you can cover them with a special putty for wood, and then paint.
3. A roof is installed, which can be cut from corrugated paper and the same plywood. If paper is used, then it must be painted in the form of tiles. When using plywood, tiles are glued to the roof, which must be cut out of colored paper, cardboard or other decorative materials.
4. Mounting interior decoration. Pieces of linoleum, carpet, felt or fabric can be used to finish the floors. The walls are pasted over with wallpaper, colored fabric, film or painted with gouache.
5. Furniture manufacturing. For a plywood house, furniture is best made from the same material. In some cases good decision there will also be the use of ready-made furniture, which can be bought in sets or separately in children's toy stores.
6. House coloring. It can be painted in various colors with gouache or watercolor. However, plywood is an aesthetic material, so you can leave it without staining.

Additionally, near the house you can make a small garden in which cardboard flowers and trees will grow. This will give the toys an even more delicate and beautiful appearance.

After assembling the structure, it remains only to decorate the interior space

Do-it-yourself plywood dollhouse examples

Hi all! Tell me, when you give your baby a toy, do you think where it will live? Believe me, the baby is definitely thinking about it. And all because he projects his life onto them. It is played during the day, like a toy, but evening comes and the little one must go to bed. But what about his subordinate? What to do with it? To give your child pleasure, continue the game and teach the little one to order, let's find out today how to make a house for dolls out of a box with your own hands.

Preparing to create an apartment for a doll

Before you get started, decide what exactly you will be doing. There are already “walls” in the box itself. It remains to make them look like a place of residence. The dimensions of the house can be different: it can be two-story or one-story, with one or more rooms; furnished with homemade or purchased furniture.

What materials and tools will be needed for work:

• Cardboard boxes;
• Glue;
• colored paper;
• Scissors;
• Pencil;
• Ruler.

When everything you need is collected, you can start tinkering.

First house

I recommend to practice little house from one room. Then it is not so a pity to throw it away, and the children quickly get bored with everything. Look how cute and cozy they are, albeit small. Pictures enlarge by clicking.

But what a cute little house, even without wallpaper, it already looks decent, but what if you hang curtains, throw a couple of pillows, lay a carpet? By the way, the carpet and pillows are easiest to make from felt. And you don't have to sew! Felt is simply glued with a moment or a hot gun.

As soon as you get bored, you can build at least a castle, at least a country villa. You already have experience, your hand is full.

"Building" a house

The help of the little one will completely depend on how much the parents are interested and involved in the process. Therefore, show your creative processes, prepare with a fairy tale or interesting history your little one. Give him a job or ask him for advice on crafts.

Furniture

Of course, doll furniture is a must! Yes, and playing with an empty house is not interesting. What can you think of?

Bedroom furniture

Bedroom furniture can be made of paper using the origami technique, glued from cardboard and cut, but the most comfortable and beautiful option — cushioned furniture from cardboard, foam rubber and fabric. You can glue everything on ordinary PVA, though it will take a long time to dry. Instead of foam rubber, you can take a synthetic winterizer or batting, in extreme cases, cotton wool.

Kitchen

The kitchen can be filled with a refrigerator, stove, countertop, beautiful chandelier and dining table. Cardboard and ice cream sticks are suitable as materials.

If there is a 3 d handle, then you can make plastic furniture.

Cardboard plate

Cabinets, shelves, a refrigerator are easy to make from cardboard. Easy to glue with hot glue.

Furniture for kitchen

Furniture - chairs, a very beautiful table are obtained from ice cream sticks. You can cut such sticks with large scissors, only carefully, they can crack in half. Glue can be glue moment or hot.

Little things for the kitchen

You can plant a bird in a cage in the kitchen, put a box of fruit or flowers. Detailed master classes in the photo. Enlarge on click.

Fruits, vegetables, dishes

Fruits, vegetables, dishes are the easiest make from plasticine. To prevent the product from getting dirty and losing its shape, it is covered with transparent nail polish.

Can you make vegetables? from salt dough they dry out and look like they came from a toy store. from play do they also sculpt food, but after drying, the play before it cracks. Therefore, I prefer to make salty dough: 1 cup flour + 1 cup fine salt + water, knead a very tough dough.

Also very a good option — air self-hardening plasticine (new material). It is cheap, bright, when it hardens it is elastic, something like hard rubber. We sculpt as from ordinary plasticine and leave to dry overnight.

Interesting ideas for a dollhouse

Some toys already come with the house, for example, lol dolls have it just fabulous. Some ideas can be copied from it. For example, the fact that the apartment is not limited to the area private rooms, and ground floor usually performs. Or you can make a patio in front of the house with a deck chair and flowers.

Another one interesting idea- bag house. This option is especially convenient when traveling with kids. You just need to attach a handle and “shutter doors” that close the house, and the mobile version is ready.

If you love to sew perfect option soft fabric house bag.

And one moment. And you thought that your craft was just the beginning? Over time, more and more new rooms may appear in which other toys will live.
