Do-it-yourself pumpkin house: two options

The first version of the craft

This house was made by Khazipov Iskander (6 years old). Teacher - Khazipova Gulnaz Galimkhanovna, Kazan. (MADOU " Kindergarten No. 174 of the combined type "of the Moskovsky district of Kazan)

Pumpkin House: Necessary Materials

Pumpkin, zucchini, rowan berries, blueberries, various sparkles, cones, dry branches, a knife, cloves, kitchen nozzles.

How to make a pumpkin house with your own hands with children

Step 1. Idea - we come up with what our pumpkin house will be like. Before you make a pumpkin house, decide how many houses will be in the composition. If everything is clear with one house, then multi-level compositions require some adjustments.

Step 2. The pumpkin should remove seeds and pulp using a knife (this is done by an adult).

Step 3 Now Mark the pumpkin with a marker in places where doors and windows will be located. Mark a window with a felt-tip pen.

Step 4. After that, proceed to cutting out details. Carved shutters and others decorative elements can be cut with curly kitchen attachments. It is not at all necessary to observe the accuracy and clarity of the lines (this will give the house a more gloomy look). Attach the prepared parts to the pumpkin with small carnations.

Step 5. It's time to do the roof of the house. We cut half of the zucchini and put it on top of the pumpkin and decorate with various sparkles. We spread red rowan berries on top of the pumpkin, and also put a cone (in the form of a pipe) on the roof.

Step 6 We make a composition. We put the pumpkin on the zucchini cut into rings and decorate with cones and dried blueberries.

The second option for making a pumpkin house

This pumpkin house was made for our contest by a family: Nabuhatnaya Lyubov, Nabukhatny Dmitry and their son Nabukhatny Igor (9 years old), Perm.

To make this pumpkin craft, you will need:

Natural materials:

- pumpkin,
- bark,
- cones,
- needles, leaves, grass,
- acorn hat
- pebbles
- moss,
- thin sticks.

decorative material:

- wooden button
- lace,
- key.

Super glue for fastening all parts.

How to make a pumpkin house

Step 1. Making a house. Having cut the bottom of the pumpkin, we cleaned out all the pulp from the inside. Cut out windows and doors. The roof was made from thin pine bark, gluing pieces on top of each other. It turned out very similar to a tiled roof. A solid piece of thick bark served as the door, the handle by the door is a hat from an acorn.
Step 2. Decorating the house. To make the house cozy, you need to decorate it. Lace curtains were glued to the windows. The flower boxes were glued from cardboard and decorated with scales of pine cones. Summer is over, the flowers have faded. Therefore, in the boxes now lie around the leaves and pine needles. To the window on the second floor stretch "vine whips", we made them from green swamp grass. The carved bottom of the pumpkin served as a decoration for the back wall of the house. With a button in the middle and rays, it reminded us of a windmill. The key at the door and the steps made of sticks completed this stage in the work.
Step 3. We populate the house. The house was installed in a low box. A piece of moss became a clearing in front of the house. The rest of the surface was sprinkled with small pebbles.
At the end of the work, we dreamed for a long time who could live in our house. Maybe a gnome, or a fairy with transparent wings, or a kind old sorceress. In the end, we decided that we ourselves were ready to live in a fabulous house. Too bad it's too small for our large family.

House - a house made of twigs with your own hands

This tower was made by Vera Pavlova (6 years old). Teachers: Zueva Tatyana Vladimirovna, Karaguzheva Rufina Viktorovna ( Perm region, Kungur MADOU "Kindergarten No. 6")

This tower is made of twigs folded like a real log house. The branches are glued to each other.

The straw on the roof is attached to the cardboard.

The gable of the roof is covered with pieces of pine bark.

The fence is woven from thin twigs of willow.

Teremok and fence posts attached to a piece of plywood with glue.

The Christmas tree on plasticine is neatly placed in a moss clearing.

Under the Christmas tree sits a Hedgehog who plays hide and seek with a Bunny. This is such a friendly company.

Do-it-yourself house-teremok for a mouse

This simple house according to the fairy tale "Teremok" was made by Veronika Maskaleva, 5 years old (Perm Territory, Kungur MADOU "Kindergarten No. 6". Teachers: Zueva Tatyana Vladimirovna, Karaguzheva Rufina Viktorovna).

Teremok is a zucchini and a pumpkin. A window is drawn on the roof with a felt-tip pen. Doors are cut out of colored paper and glued on with glue stick.

A fungus-teremok stands in a clearing of their soft moss. The ladder is made from wooden sticks, which are glued together for a moment of glue.

A toy Violating Mouse ran to the tower. And she began to live in it.

Decorate your home with the help of a New Year's house for the New Year 2019, and even made with your own hands - what could be cuter and more charming? Moreover, this decor in Western culture considered traditional - many decorate doll houses their children in this style (often together with the kids) or they create them on purpose.

A lot can serve as the basis for such crafts, but the main thing is that in the end they convey the very essence of the holiday - a neat and thorough thematic decor, immersion in a snowy fairy tale and the sweet comfort of a home.

Well, let's try today to create such a Christmas house of our dreams in miniature. In addition, we have prepared for you master classes on several of its options at once, so that you can choose the one you like best.

Cardboard house

As the basis of such a house, both sheets of thick corrugated cardboard and old shoe or packing boxes can serve. And we will also need:

• ornamental paper of a color suitable for walls (you can also take a self-adhesive film with some kind of traditional pattern for facades - masonry, log cabin, etc., remnants of wallpaper);
• a bright-colored thin foam polystyrene rug or colored rubber sheet;
• artificial frost in a can;
• white fluffy felt or fur;
• small toys, pieces of Christmas tree branches, pompoms, beads, bows, in a word, everything you would like to decorate a house with;
• a button of a brilliant golden or chrome hue (on the leg - a door handle);
• hot glue gun;
• a pencil with a ruler;
• scissors and cutter;
• thin lace or the remains of white organza on the curtains.

If you are not using solid boxes, but just packing cardboard, you first need to embroider the old packaging, cut out the details of the boxes from which the house will consist, and glue them together. Now we glue the entire surface of the “facade” with craft paper, felt or self-adhesive film.

If the joints at the corners turned out to be sloppy, do not be upset, they can be corrected by cutting out strips from a rubber or polystyrene colored rug (the one from which we will make frames for doors and windows), and sticking them so that they close the corner, going into neighboring "walls".

Now we turn the boxes over so that they look down with a hole, and we assemble the roof from other pieces of cardboard. It's cool to make it, of course, for many slopes - but, here it is, how you can do it. We glue all the details of the roof together, cut out pieces of white felt or fur to size and glue them on top - it will be snow.

On the end (a cardboard box and a barrel of material should stick out) we glue a strip of white tape (with or without a pattern - at your discretion). It's great if she came with small pommies sewn on in advance (you can, for example, cut off the ends of an old scarf, if there is one). If not, pompoms can be sewn onto the braid in the process.

Finally, we glue the entire roof along the contour with Christmas-tree beads (or jewelry) and fasten some kind of decoration to the vaults.

Then we prepare the details of frames and doors. We cut out windows and doors from a thin rubber mat or polystyrene (red will look very impressive!) (it’s good to do it right away with the crossbars). We try them on the places on the boxes where they will be attached, mark them with a pencil and cut holes with a cutter, placing something inside the box to stop - so as not to bend.

Now you can stick doors and windows, not forgetting, first, to glue pieces of lace along the edge of the windows along the edge to fit the holes or organza - these are curtains.

We put the roof on the house, fixing it with glue at the points of contact, and decorate the house itself with the chosen decor. It's great if you managed to make a long spruce garland in miniature with beads - an imitation of balls and a similar wreath. All this is located in outer walls, doors and windows, and at the very end lightly spray the entire structure with frost from a can.

New Year's hut-log house from sticks

Using this technology, you can make houses from matches, orange sticks, even thin twigs of the same thickness, counting sticks or ice cream sticks, and even sweet straws (but, about it - later!). For them we take:

• "building material" in large quantities;
• hot glue gun or instant superglue;
• wood varnish, azure or acrylic paint– depends on the design you choose;
• cutter;
• brush;
• a piece of plywood or pieces of wood for the door (you can also connect the sticks of the walls vertically with glue, cutting them in shape, fastening for beauty with some detail in the form of loops);
• pencil or marker for marking;
• artificial frost, synthetic winterizer and anything for Christmas decoration.

So, for starters, let's decide whether we are making a log house according to the classics - “into a bowl” or without protrusions - “into a paw”. The second is simpler, but the first, of course, is more effective, so we will focus on this option. We will assemble the whole house at once - as if growing it on a stand.

But, first you need to prepare the "building material" - if you need to paint over, varnish, etc. It is very important that all sticks-twigs are exactly the same length. Ideally - and width, but if there are discrepancies somewhere up to two millimeters, then we can easily mask them with decor or artificial snow.

Now we glue the first stick to the stand. The second one is perpendicular to it, retreating 1-2 cm from the right edge, depending on the size of the house. The third is perpendicular to the second with a similar indent. The fourth is also exactly in relation to the third, and it turns out that with its side in the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe indicated indent, it will rest against the end of the first stick.

We put the next row on the contrary - shifting to the left on the same ledge. As a result, a kind of checkerboard is obtained, in which, through one crown, the details of the bowl stick out in each plane, and where the wall goes, there is a solid canvas.

After the first or second row, it is advisable to organize the door in the chosen place. To do this, cut off the sticks of this wall before gluing to the border where it passes (it is convenient to apply immediately along the way, mark, cut off, and then glue). And we put the next one on this crown with an indent, the width of a door (we measure the size of this stick in the same way).

When the door ends, just start putting sticks on the entire length of the wall. We reach the windows - the operation is repeated. If desired, jumpers can be immediately built into the windows. To do this, where the horizontal ones will pass, we simply don’t cut it, as before, under the window border, but put a whole stick along the entire length of the wall. Then we will glue the vertical one separately when the window is ready.

After that, glue the sticks to the size of the door and window frame beautifully along the end of the openings.

Thus, we pass the walls to the top until the roof slope begins. There we simply glue each subsequent crown only on two opposite walls in a row, gradually reducing the length of the stick until it comes to naught. Now we make the roof: we glue the sticks of the same length together to get a little more than the length of the side of the triangle of the wall.

We take another of the same stick and on both sides, at an angle of slope, glue the sides of the roof to it. After that, it is worth assembling the door and fitting it, and then sticking the roof on the walls and decorating the house with the chosen method.

Bonus: Hansel and Gretel Gingerbread House

If you are too lazy to mess around with pastries, but you still want to put a traditional gingerbread house as a sweet decoration for a New Year's house (yes, and treats, of course!) You can easily and quickly assemble one from improvised sweets. For him, stock up:

• several packages of sweet straws (preferably thick);
• melted caramel (you can just boil sugar syrup);
• melted white chocolate or protein cream;
• New Year's edible mastic decor, homemade or purchased;
• granulated sugar or coconut flakes;
• colored sprinkles with large peas or sticks;
• dish.

So, for starters, let's assemble the walls separately, dipping each stick in caramel, not forgetting to leave gaps for doors and windows. Here, as in the previous case, we will not fool around with laying logs according to the classic log house - we will simply glue them with rectangles. Don't forget two opposite walls make descents into a triangle under the vaults of the roof.

Now, placing the walls perpendicular to each other, we glue them with caramel between each other. Similarly, we make two canvas-slopes from sticks for the roof and connect them at a right angle. We cover our house with a roof, smearing the joints with caramel. Separately, we assemble a door from vertical sticks and ajar - a little at an angle, glue it to the edge of the door.

If you want to make jumpers for windows, we do with them in the same way as in the previous case - we build horizontal ones right away, and vertical ones - when the window is ready, in front of the roof.

Now it remains to decorate our house thematically. To do this, put melted white chocolate into a confectionery syringe or protein glaze and we cover the roof, mounds near the house - you can even make a snow-covered composition around with snowdrifts and a Christmas tree! And at the end we decorate everything with sprinkles, sprinkle with sugar and glue the same mastic decor on the caramel.

These are our wonderful craft houses for the New Year! And let them manage to create a truly festive mood in your own real home!

Hello dear readers! By the New Year, store shelves are traditionally filled with themed decorations - Christmas balls, garlands, tinsel, snow globes, miniature decorative houses.

Moreover, a number of goods sold in the relevant departments can be made independently without much difficulty and expense. We considered how to make rope balls, but today we will make such a small winter house:

What is needed to implement the idea.

It is necessary to prepare: thick cardboard or expanded polystyrene sheets (sold in packages in hardware stores, it’s simply an accordion under the laminate, the material is perfectly cut and glued), glue moment gel, scissors, stationery knife, ruler, pencil, cotton wool, rhinestones, 7 cm of rope, PVA glue, two 3 cm pieces of thin wire, 2 wooden skewers, a can of silver paint.

ATTENTION: for the manufacture of a miniature house, you can use thick cardboard, in this master class we replaced the cardboard with polystyrene foam sheets, but you can use ordinary cardboard!

The templates below will help you navigate, redraw them on plain paper, cut them out, apply them to sheets of polystyrene foam - circle them with a pencil, cut them out with a clerical knife, under the ruler. The following parts should be obtained: floor 1 pc, side walls 2 pcs, end and back parts 1 pc each, roof slopes 2 pcs.

We cut out a window on the back of the house, glue the house with transparent glue with a moment, for this we glue the side walls to the “floor” part, then the end and back, and at the end of the roof slopes.

Prepare the rest of the decorative details.

Porch.

The photo below shows the details that need to be prepared, cut them out and glue them together.

Then we prepare the thresholds, the number of parts will depend on the height of the steps, in this example we cut out one wide rectangular layer, three narrow strips, glue all the details, forming steps, then apply the thresholds sideways to the expanded polystyrene sheet, circle, and cut out two identical side walls, which then glued to their rightful place.

Cut out a rectangular piece - the door. We glue the door, thresholds and porch visor to the house, on the sides on the first step we glue two wooden skewers, which also need to be glued to the bottom of the visor.

Chimney.

We cut out a rectangular template, form a chimney out of it, apply it to one of the slopes on the roof (from the side), put a mark on the chimney template according to the level of the roof slope. We cut off the chimney template according to the left mark, glue it, apply it to a sheet of polystyrene foam and circle it with a pencil, cut it out, cut all the details with a clerical knife, which we then glue together in the form of a chimney. The resulting chimney is glued to one of the roof slopes. The whole process of making a chimney is shown in the photo below.

Bench.

We cut out the necessary details from polystyrene foam or cardboard, depending on what material you decide to use to make your craft decorative house. From the wire we form handles for the bench. We glue the parts into a single whole, namely the back of the bench, seat, legs and handrails.

Ladder.

We cut out the details of the future miniature staircase - two long side strips and 5 rung-steps. We glue all the details together.

Sled.

Cut out the necessary details (see the photo below). We glue the sleigh runners, glue the parts “for sitting” to them, at the end we glue the rope.

The photo below shows the details that need to be prepared for pasting the space around the window (like shutters). We cut out a square from polystyrene foam, retreat from the edge inward on each side by 7 mm, draw an inner square, which we cut out with a clerical knife and a ruler. We cut the resulting frame in the corners, and glue the parts around the window.

Painting.

The house, as well as all the above details, must be painted. The winter house craft will look even more impressive if you use several shades of paint, for example, white and silver. In this example, one paint color was used, namely silver, since the main undertone of the material used obviously looks very impressive, after painting the product resembles ice sparkling in the sun.

ATTENTION: if you took polystyrene foam as a basis, then when painting, do not overdo it with the amount of paint, it must be applied in thin layers with long distance, otherwise chemical composition the paint will simply corrode the cute, little winter house.

Create a snowy effect.

We take a shallow container, pour PVA glue into it, split the cotton wool into thin small layers, immerse them in glue, squeeze out the excess adhesive composition, and glue them to the roof surface. According to this scheme, we cover the entire surface of the roof, including the chimney, in addition, you can “snow” the corners of the house, a bench, a stepladder, and a sled. Leave the product to dry for about 24 hours.

Miniature pots with snow globes.

The front entrance to the house can be decorated with flower pots with "snow balls". We cut the woolen threads into segments 1 cm long (15-20 pieces will be enough), take a large bead, wrap it with foil, soak all the threads for 5 minutes in PVA glue, and put it on the bead in foil, forming an openwork vase. We leave to dry, near the heating battery the product will dry out somewhere in 4 hours. Such planters need to prepare 2 pcs. We remove the dried pots from the beads, carefully separating the foil, paint them from a spray can, glue the hanging ropes on the sides. Then we form balls of cotton wool according to the size of the pots, lightly coat them with PVA glue and put them in miniature pots. On the sides of the door, with an awl, we create punctures, where we insert small pieces of toothpicks, fixing them with glue for a moment, and we hang flower pots with snow balls on them.

Street lamp.

Of course, it will not glow, but it will play a decorative role. We take the lid from a transparent box with glitter-sand for nails, paint it with silver paint and glue it to the end of the veranda.

Rhinestones will play the role of snowflakes shining in the sun, so we glue them wherever improvised snow is present - a roof, a bench, a ladder, a porch, sills, side walls of the house, snow globes in a pot. In addition, we select a rhinestone larger than the rest and glue it on the door, it will play a role door handle.

As a result of all the efforts, a chic winter house craft is obtained, which will significantly transform the fireplace or bookshelf, festive table or space under the Christmas tree.

Each season in kindergartens and schools begins with the manufacture of crafts. Autumn is no exception. At this time of the year, there is a lot of bright and beautiful natural material around us that can be used to make original items for future crafts. This master class provides a description of how to make a house from natural material with your own hands, photos are attached.

For the manufacture of the house we will use the scheme.

To make house frame materials needed:
1. Thick cardboard (walls) - 4 parts.
2. Scissors.
3. Thin cardboard (connecting partitions) - 4 parts.
4. PVA glue.
5. Simple pencil.

We are engaged in the manufacture of a house

1. First you need to make walls for the future home. To do this, cut out 4 parts from thick cardboard according to the drawing in the diagram. After that, partitions should be made from thin cardboard that will connect the walls. Each partition must be drawn in half (fold line).

2. Each partition along the fold line must be bent in half. It is convenient to do this work with a ruler.

3. We get 4 parts for connecting the walls of the house to each other.

4. We begin to form the frame of the house. To do this, install 2 wall parts on a flat surface. Using a square, check the right angle.

5. We connect the walls with the help of a partition.

6. In order for the partition to stick well to the walls, we fix it with clothespins on both sides.

7. We do the same with the rest of the house.

8. Finally, we connect all the walls together.

10. Using a pruner, we cut the brushwood of the reeds into pieces equal to the size of the walls. Next, glue each stick on the glue.

11. The next step is to prepare the details for the manufacture of the roof.

12. Gables are smeared with glue at the marked distance.

13. We glue the gables on both sides of the house.

14. So that in the future the house could be covered with a roof, we fix the crossbar between the gables.

15. We cover the house with a roof. We fix the edges of the roof with tape.

16. We decorate the roof with fluffy tassels of reeds. To do this, cut the brushes right size and glue them to the roof.

17. At the final stage, we make a window and a door from cardboard and glue them to the right place.

A finished house made of natural materials, made by hand, looks beautiful and original. It is sure to become a decoration of any holiday and even the interior.

First you need to cut a lot of sticks that are square in cross section on a circular saw. Approximately 16mm thick. If there are six crowns in this house, then 24 sticks are needed. Our house is square in plan, which means the sticks are needed the same length. The length of the sticks must be chosen according to the length of the future walls of the house. Plus 2 inches.

Then you need to give the sticks cylindrical shape. This is usually done on special machine. We don’t have it, so we use a regular wood lathe.

The front and rear centers of the machine leave quite noticeable indentations when processing on a stick. Therefore, the ends of the sticks, where the recesses remained, must be cut off. A centimeter on one side and a centimeter on the other. And so you need to process all 24 sticks.
In this picture, the depressions are clearly visible.

Then two indentations are cut in each stick.

Then we smear these recesses with glue "Joiner" (quick-drying PVA). If necessary, then smear the entire length of the stick.

And we glue. Crown after crown.

Until we collect the whole log house. The “joiner” will need about 15 minutes to dry. Therefore, all this time the entire log house must be pressed from above. You can just use your hands. When everything is glued together, it should look like this.

Now we mark the slots for the door and windows.

And saw through with a jigsaw.

Before cutting out the windows, we drill a hole in the wall of the house. We will then insert a file into it. Sawing windows and doorways will just show us whether we glued the sticks tightly or not.

Where necessary, cut with a knife.

As a result, we should get this.

Then we grind and trim the ends of the logs on a rotating plywood wheel with sandpaper.

We paint the house with a strong solution of manganese. Can only be outside.

When the manganese dries, wipe the house with sandpaper. So we have a stretch in color. Some places are highlighted, others remain dark.

The result should be like this. Here we have blanks for two houses at once.

Then we cut out two triangular pediments from fiberboard. The roof angle on most houses is 90 degrees. In the blank of the pediment, you need to make two semicircular cutouts for the sticks. They are made with a semicircular chisel.

Then birch bark is glued onto these blanks. And already an embossing is made on it, depicting boards and the structure of a tree. Embossing can be done with a very large needle.
