Do-it-yourself sofa for a doll made of cardboard. Do-it-yourself sofa for a doll

Psychologists say that how a child behaves in the game, so he will be in life. Do you dream that your little daughter will grow up real woman with a delicate taste great hostess and caring mother So - her dolls should have all the best - beautiful clothes, dishes and cozy room with elegant furniture. It is not at all necessary to spend crazy money on all this in company stores. In fact, you can do a lot with your own hands - you just need to think carefully and try to do everything carefully. How to make a sofa for dolls? Read about this important matter in our article.

Age and size

My daughter is growing, but the dolls she plays with are getting smaller. So first you need to think about what kind of furniture you want. In the puppet corner, where almost real girlfriends of your three-year-old daughter live, dolls, a big bear, and even their mistress herself can easily fit on the sofa. All items are almost like real ones, only a little bit smaller.

A sofa for dolls with your own hands can be built from improvised materials:

• plywood;
• polystyrene;
• remnants of wallpaper or newspaper sheets - if there are a lot of them.

In addition, you need:

• fabric for mattress and pillows;
• thick foam rubber, synthetic winterizer or batting;
• glue depending on the material;
• small nails if you are going to make a sofa for plywood dolls;
• jigsaw;
• sharp knife;
• scissors;
• sewing accessories;
• burning apparatus;
• acrylic or oil paints.

The simplest doll sofa

How to make a sofa for a doll if the daughter is small and the doll is big? The easiest way to make a sofa is from two wooden highchairs. They should be the same height, but lower than your child needs in height. Still, this is doll furniture, although sometimes a little housewife can use it.

In addition to chairs, you need:

• 2 slats 50-60 cm long;
• 2 pieces of plywood for sidewalls;
• a piece of thick foam rubber for the seat and back;
• thick fabric for upholstery;
• screws or screws;
• screwdriver;
• sewing accessories.

Important! Before you make a sofa for dolls with your own hands, the chairs must be fastened with slats from below, and sidewalls must be attached on both sides. As for the dimensions, they are largely arbitrary - the sides should be lower than the back, that's all. It is enough if they rise ten centimeters above the seat.

Connecting chairs:

1. On the lower parts of the chairs, mark the places for fastenings.
2. Mark the rails the same way.
3. Drill holes - on the slats they will be through, on chairs - of sufficient depth.
4. Screw the rails with any fasteners that are at hand - for fidelity, you can put screws or self-tapping screws on the glue.

sidewalls

The sidewalls are just two sheets of plywood that cover the space under the chairs and rise slightly above the seats. The only thing to take care of is that the front corners are cut off. The easiest way to do this is with a jigsaw.

Important! By the way, if you have a little command of this tool, nothing prevents you from making carved armrests - then they will not need to be covered with upholstery. The saw cuts must be thoroughly sanded so that the child does not have the slightest chance of planting a splinter. Great idea- coat these parts with varnish.

A do-it-yourself doll sofa can be made without wooden armrests. For example, you can supplement the design with foam rollers, which are placed on the sofa when necessary, but can also be used for other purposes.

Do-it-yourself sofa for dolls - the master class continues

Sometimes young mothers ask how to sew a sofa for dolls. It is not the sofa itself that is sewn, but only its soft parts, moreover, it is approximately the same for small furniture and for large furniture.

sofa upholstery

Cut 2 pieces of thick foam to fit the seat and back. You can deal with them in two ways:

• glue to the chairs, and then upholster everything together with a cloth;
• first make 2 identical mattresses, one to attach to the back, the second to put on the seat.

The use of one method or another depends on the shape of the chairs. Some highchairs have their backs folded back and the front edge of the seat down. In this case, the first option is preferable. In all other situations, the second is more interesting, because it turns out something like modular furniture, when removable parts are used for a variety of purposes.

Important! First you need to stick the foam rubber on the back, then on the seat.

We sew mattresses

For mattresses, an old curtain or an unnecessary bedspread is quite suitable. You can cut directly on the fabric, but if you are not very confident in yourself, make patterns from graph paper.

For each mattress you need:

• 2 rectangles equal in length and width to the seat or back of the sofa, plus allowances of 1 cm on each side;
• strip - its length is equal to the perimeter of the mattress, and its width is equal to the thickness of the foam rubber, plus allowances of 1 cm on all sides, it can be cut along an oblique.

Important! To make the mattress look exactly like a real one, you can sew a steering wheel between the strip and the main details - it is sold ready-made in needlework stores. For each mattress, 2 pieces are needed, the length of which is equal to the perimeter.

When manufacturing, it is important to follow a certain procedure:

• Mark on the strip the places of the corners of the future mattress - it is better to do this on both long sides.
• Iron the corners by folding the strip right side out.
• After folding the strip and one of the rectangles right sides together, baste the pieces, leaving one short side open.

Important! If a steering wheel is expected, it must be inserted between the parts with a tourniquet on the front side.

• Stitch the details on three sides.
• Cut the corners diagonally very close to the seam.
• Attach the second rectangle to the strip in the same way.
• Cut corners.
• Turn out the workpiece.
• Insert the foam and open edge close manually.

If the chairs are sloping

Upholstery of a sofa with glued foam rubber is a simple matter, but it requires some skill to work with a hammer and wallpaper nails:

1. First, cut out a rectangle. The width is easy to determine - it is equal to the width of the chairs, plus allowances of 3 cm on each side.
2. As for the length, then everything is somewhat more interesting. The cloth should completely cover the space under the chair, seat, back and back, plus, again, allowances - but they can be smaller, 2 cm will be enough.
3. Iron the allowances that will adjoin the sidewalls to the wrong side.
4. Allowances on the front and back sides - hem, bending twice to the wrong side, and iron.
5. Nail the panel to the seat and back at a distance of 2-3 cm from the sides, with a step between wallpaper nails of 5-7 cm.
6. Nail the panel also to the top of the backrest and the bottom of the seat.

Sofa for medium size dolls

The older girl preschool age there are also dolls, but they are much smaller than their mistress. These can be medium-sized dolls or small ones. Accordingly, the furniture for them will be small, but you can make it from improvised means.

See if they are lying around in the apartment:

• boxes for electronic devices:
• shoe boxes;
• juice cartons;
• packaging cardboard;
• rectangular plastic bottles;
• leg material;
• pieces of foam rubber;
• patches of various sizes.

Juice boxes

To make a doll sofa, you need 2 identical juice boxes and 2 pieces of thick packing cardboard:

1. Cut off the lids of the jars.
2. Lay one box on the large rectangle, long side facing you.
3. Lubricate the long side of the second box with glue.
4. Attach it to the first box so that the long sides match up, and the boxes themselves stick together at a right angle.
5. For the sides, cut 2 identical rectangles from the packing cardboard.
6. Glue them to the sides of the boxes.

Important! You can make legs - corks from plastic bottles, which are glued to the bottom of the sofa with universal glue.

Preparation for a folding sofa

How to make a sofa bed for dolls? And from what? Yes, from the same juice boxes, only you do not need to glue them together. To create a folding sofa for dolls with your own hands, you will need a design like a book cover with a spine made of leatherette or dense fabric:

1. In size, each part of the “cover” is equal to the area of ​​the box.
2. Glue the boxes to the inside of the “cover”.
3. Attach 8 legs - 4 from corks to the seat, and make 4 from thick cardboard, bending it at a right angle - only one part is glued to the back.
4. Glue 4 plastic paper clips to the back - under them the legs will be removed when the sofa is assembled.

Making a soft pad

The do-it-yourself cardboard sofa is almost ready, it remains to make a soft layer and upholstery. Thin foam rubber is perfect for laying, but you can also use sheet synthetic winterizer, batting, and even soft, but thick enough fabric.

Important! It is better to paste over the workpiece from all sides, trying to make the layer as even as possible. It is not necessary to cut the gasket from a separate piece, it can also be made from pieces, the main thing is that there are no noticeable bulges and depressions.

Making upholstery

Upholstery is best cut from large pieces of fabric:

• First you need to paste over the sidewalls so that you can close the allowances with the main piece. It is more convenient if it is a strip, equal in width to the length of the sofa, plus small allowances on all sides.

Important! The strip should be such that it completely covers the bottom of the sofa, the seat, the front and back of the back.

• Allowances along the short edges must be immediately bent to the wrong side, smoothed down and glued to that part of the seat that will be facing. Allowances on the long sides are glued completely.

Box from under the equipment

Very interesting models of doll furniture can be made from cardboard cubes or parallelepipeds, in which all kinds of electronics are packed. By the way, often in the box is another wonderful material for the sofa - foam. But first, let's deal with the box:

1. Open it and take out all the contents.
2. Do not cut off the lid - from one open side it is necessary to make a semicircular cutout in it, then the bottom will become the seat, and the lid and side walls - the back and armrests.
3. Glue a piece of thin foam rubber or synthetic winterizer on the bottom.
4. Also fill the space near the side and back walls with foam rubber or synthetic winterizer - you can attach the gasket to the walls with a few drops of glue.
5. Paste the sofa on all sides with a cloth.

Important! For such a design, of course, legs are needed - cubes from a dismantled building designer, barrels from loto. Even toothpaste tube lids will work if the box is small.

matchboxes

An excellent sofa for Barbie and her guests will turn out from matchboxes. You will need 6 boxes - 2 for the back and seat, and 1 for the sides. If you don't have suitable material for legs, you can make the seat double or even triple:

1. Glue all matchboxes so that the boxes do not slide out of the lid.
2. Make a blank for the seat - glue together 2 boxes with short sides.
3. Do the same for the back.
4. Glue the seat and back at right angles.
5. Glue the sides vertically on both sides.

We paste over the workpiece

Soft padding for such small dolls is not really needed, so you can immediately start upholstery. Suitable for this:

• paper;
• adhesive tape.

There are many types of paper. What prevents, for example, from making a velvet sofa for your beloved doll? Or marble? With self-adhesive film, the situation is even better - it comes in all kinds of colors, so you can make the sides, for example, under a tree, and the seat and back - under silk. And you can make the whole sofa wooden.

Important! By the way, if you are still interested in how to sheathe a sofa for dolls, if it is completely miniature, you can do it, and even with a soft layer. You can donate a pair of brand new sanitary pads for the doll corner, only you need those in which the adhesive layer is applied to the entire surface. From one we make the soft part of the seat, from the other - the back, we sheathe it all with a cloth. The sofa turned out wonderful. As legs - any round covers of the same size.

Styrofoam packaging

A piece of foam, in which, for the time being, some one slept well electronic device, - almost finished sofa or chair. A square or rectangle with a notch in the middle is enough to simply cut in half to make a semicircle out of a circle, and here you have a finished sofa, and even very modern form. It remains only to paste over it with paper or self-adhesive film. The foam itself is thick enough that you don't even need legs.

How to make a bedroom for dolls?

In the bedroom, even in the dollhouse, there is more than one sofa. There is a table, and cabinets, and even a dressing table. And all this can be done from what lies in the apartment without any work and is even thrown away:

Watch the following video for a master class on making a floor lamp.

Chandelier

To make a chandelier, we need a small container. You can use measuring cups for medicines, disposable plastic piles, the simplest candles in a metal case.

It is worth noting that there is a great variety of material for a doll sofa, and most do not even have to be bought. You can even make a folding version that will doubly surprise your child. In addition, you can do this needlework right with him, because it perfectly develops fine motor skills of the hands and allows you to spend useful time with your child.

If you do not know how to make a sofa for dolls, then use ordinary matchboxes. They have a stunningly comfortable shape, from which you can fold almost any model of room furniture. The finished sofa can be painted or sheathed with fabric, and it will look great. For this type, ten boxes will be enough, but you can certainly make more massive furniture.

Making a sofa with your own hands is very simple. The process begins with the formation of the seat. Lubricate the edges of the boxes with glue and glue them together. After that we do the back. You should not make it very high, the boxes are still paper and may not withstand mechanical damage, without which not a single children's game can do. Next, the sofa for the dollhouse needs to be decorated, but it is better to sheathe it with a beautiful fabric. It all depends on the creator's imagination: bows, ruffles and other decorations will look very impressive on children's furniture.

cardboard sofa

A sofa for dolls made of cardboard is an opportunity to make furniture that is very similar to the real one. If you don't know how to do beautiful sofa for dolls, you should use a small instruction that will help you cope with the task. For work you will need:

• thick and thin cardboard;
• paper;
• the cloth;
• thread with a needle;
• scissors;
• glue;
• Scotch.

You should not think about how to make a fashionable sofa for a doll, you need to act immediately. Even a beginner can easily cope with this task. As everyone already knows, you can make a lot of things out of cardboard with your own hands, and even children's furniture for toys is not at all difficult, but in some places even fascinating. It is worth noting that this activity can be a great hobby, as it is very exciting during the creation of furniture.

First you need to cut the seat for the sofa. It should not be too large, otherwise its fragility will increase. A DIY Barbie sofa can be made from a solid box, using it as a seat if you find the right size. Then we do the back. We cut out the base from thick cardboard and glue it to the base. Since it turns out to be not very strong, it follows with inside secure it with foam. This will not only add volume to the design, but also bring the model closer to the real one in appearance.

Diagram of a doll sofa Stages of creating a sofa

The armrests can also be made from sponges, and then carefully pull them together with threads, making the decor from the relief. It is not difficult to make a paper sofa, and if you take this issue seriously, then the original version can surprise many. After the structure has dried, you need to carefully sheathe it with a cloth. This can be done even with glue, in this case there is no fundamental difference. Then you can completely surrender to your imagination. For Monster High dolls, you can make furniture in gothic style, for ordinary barbies - in pink colors etc. In this case, there is only one restriction: do not attach objects that can fall into Airways to the child and do not use elements that are toxic for decoration.

If you do not know how to make an original sofa for a doll at home, then use our tips. In general, you should not limit yourself, in the same way you can make a bed, chair, wardrobe and many other original furniture for a child. Remember that do-it-yourself cardboard is made a large number of things, the main thing is to show imagination. Moreover, your child will be pleasantly surprised to see a unique thing for games, and will be proud of you and take an example.

In this tutorial, I'll show you how to make a miniature dollhouse sofa or a nice accessory for a photo shoot. Size: length 19 cm, height 9.5 cm, width 12 cm.

The proportions are taken from "human" sizes and reduced by 12 times. You can increase or decrease the size, but do not forget to change the thickness of the foam. For this sofa, I used foam rubber 1 cm thick. Foam rubber can be replaced with a padding polyester folded in 4-5 layers (in this case, the armrest must be cut in one piece). Such a sofa will turn out with more rounded shapes.

To create a sofa, we need: microcorrugated cardboard, foam rubber, synthetic winterizer, cotton fabric, PVA glue, Crystal Moment glue, cotton lace, needles, threads, toothpick, paper tape, scissors, breadboard knife, cutting mat, ruler, pencil , blunt creasing knife, buttons.

Glue "Crystal Moment" can be replaced with another universal adhesive for various types surfaces, including plastics. You will also need a creasing knife - any blunt knife with a rounded end. Fabric consumption - cut 45 * 50 cm or two smaller cuts from companion fabrics.

We transfer the drawing to a sheet of microcorrugated cardboard, it is more convenient to start with building a grid (red lines in the drawing). Solid black lines are cut lines, dotted lines are creasing (folds). Creasing is a pre-punched line on a workpiece made of solid thick paper or cardboard, it is done so that the fold is even, without creases. We will score with a dull knife.

Before cutting the cardboard, I pre-cut the foam rubber and synthetic winterizer.

Foam details:

2 pcs. 4.5 * 8.5 cm - outer sides of the armrest;
2 pcs. 2 * 8.5 cm - top of the armrests;
2 pcs. 1.5 * 8.5 cm - inner sides of the armrests;
1 PC. 16 * 9 - back of the back;
1 PC. 7.5 * 13 - seat;
1 PC. 5.5 * 15 - front of the back.

Syntepon details:

2 pcs. 12 * 10.5 - armrests;
1 PC. 18 * 11 - back of the back of the sofa;
1 PC. 9.5 * 15 - seat;
1 PC. 7.5 * 15 - the front of the back of the sofa;
1 PC. 3 * 15 cm - side from the floor to the seat.

Cut out the template with a craft knife and a ruler.

With a creasing knife, draw along the fold lines.

Scissors cut out smooth lines - the bend of the back.

We fold our future sofa along the scoring lines (fold).

At the base, we turn the back and seat inward, apply it to the fabric, after leaving allowances for the hem, draw around the contour. Draw a cut line on the fabric. Cut out the detail.

We glue the valve of the armrests and the bottom of the sofa with PVA glue.

We turn it over, spread the “PVA” on the bottom, let the glue soak a little (about a minute) so that there are no glue spots left on the fabric.

We apply to the fabric, combining with the pencil markings.

We fix.

We glue the foam parts for the outer wall of the armrest on the Crystal Moment glue.

We glue the tops of the foam rubber armrests (we glue the foam rubber on the “Crystal”, “PVA” “does not take it”).

From the side of the back we make cuts on the fabric.

We take our favorite "PVA" and glue the fabric allowance on the back.

Now we will glue the detail for the armrest from synthetic winterizer (also on the "Crystal Moment"). It is convenient to fasten the back flaps with a paper clip so as not to interfere.

We will do the same with the second part. You can fix the glued part with pins and let the glue harden for a few minutes.

We glue the side fabric allowance to the cardboard base. We repeat all the same operations with the second armrest.

"From the heart" we spread "PVA" on the base of the armrest from the inside.

And we glue large valves, connecting the back to the armrests.

We turn the fabric allowance on the front side of the armrest and glue it to the base.

Now we will cut out two strips of cardboard about 2 cm wide and equal to the length of the armrest x 2 (I have such strips left after cutting out the base), fold the strips so that one part is several cm longer than the other, and glue them at the bottom of the base of the armrest from the inside sides.

We try on the remaining piece of foam rubber for the inner side of the armrest.

We cover our almost finished armrest with a cloth, fix it with pins.

We bend the allowances of the fabric on both sides, fix with a drop of glue.

At the bottom, glue the fabric to the base.

We apply a little glue at the junction of the armrest and the base of the back, fix it.

Now we smear the auxiliary strip of cardboard with “Moment” well and glue it to the armrest.

Well, the most difficult part is behind. Let's start decorating the seat.

We glue the “PVA” sidewalls of the seat lift, having previously placed a piece of padding polyester between the fabric and cardboard.

With the help of a toothpick and a drop of "PVA" we form beautiful corners at the bottom of the armrest.

Glue "PVA" well lubricate the rear side of the seat and the valve for gluing.

We fix and glue the remaining fabric allowance.

We take a cardboard piece in front of the seat and draw cut lines with a pencil - remove the corners.

We trim the parts from foam rubber and synthetic winterizer to the size of cardboard blanks (parts from synthetic winterizer have allowances of 1 cm on each side).

We cut out the details from the fabric, taking into account the hem allowances of 2-2.5 cm on each side (from the cardboard base).

Glue the fabric allowances inside.

I wanted to give relief to the front of the back. We mark the attachment points for the buttons, take thicker threads (I have cotton for knitting) and fix the end of the thread on cardboard with paper tape.

We sew the buttons to the detail of the front of the back, fix the thread with adhesive tape. Here's what happens from the inside out.

And this is the front view.

We take "PVA", glue the front of the back, the seat and the back of the back into the base of our sofa.

Almost done! Remaining finishing touches

For the reliability of the design, we sew the back part to the base at the bottom ...

... and to the front of the back from above.

We decorate with lace, measure the desired piece of lace + allowances of 1-1.5 cm on each side. We apply "PVA" to the junction of two parts of the back (the main thing is not to overdo it with glue, it should not be visible on the finished sofa).

We apply a piece of lace, fix it, hide the ends (with a toothpick we apply a drop of glue between the armrest and the seat, fill the tip).

Glue the lace under the seat in the same way.

We sew the armrest.

Need to issue side part armrest.

We cut out small circles (about 1.5 cm in diameter) from thick felt or cardboard and synthetic winterizer and circles from fabric with an allowance of 1 cm.

Cover the base with fabric.

We sew the resulting parts to the ends of the armrests.

We make sofa legs. I had these acrylic circles, but they can be made from anything: caps from tubes, cardboard glued in several layers, wooden beads etc. I glued the acrylic blanks with “Moment” onto a strip of felt, then cut them out. Such pads are needed so that there is no scratching sound from the legs on the surface on which the sofa will stand.

With the help of a ruler, we mark the places for gluing the legs, glue the legs with Moment glue.

Everything, the sofa is ready! We admire the result and call the dolls.

Recently, Monster High dolls have become especially popular, complete with all kinds of wardrobe items, furniture, and cosmetics. Little girls dream about doll house which will be furnished.
