Every girl dreams of a house for dolls, for example, Barbie, she wants the house to have a bed for a doll, a table, a chair and even a floor lamp. But it is not necessary to buy everything, because you can do it yourself, and then it will be much more interesting for children to play.

Just today I will tell you how to make a house for dolls with your own hands. In my case, the house will be made of plywood, and anyone who even a little bit owns a hacksaw and a jigsaw can easily repeat it all.

If you are far from such skill, then the doll house can also be made from cardboard, for example, from a large box.

I promised everyone for a long time to show what house my father made for Barbie with his own hands, now you have to guess who I am such a creative mother. I will start just with a house for dolls, and finish with furniture for the house. I'll tell you everything briefly and clearly.

Do-it-yourself plywood doll house, drawings

To make our own house for dolls measuring 110 cm by 131 cm, we needed two sheets of plywood. Before you cut something, you need to draw everything.
You can take your own dimensions, which are convenient for you, we have a house height without a pediment 112 cm, a width of 131 cm, and a depth of 30 cm, a height of rooms of 34 cm, passages in the form of an arch are made in the walls.
Of course, if your doll house is made of cardboard, then the dimensions must be significantly reduced, because the design will be unreliable.

To assemble the frame of the house, you need to cut three boards 30 cm wide and 76 cm long from a sheet of plywood, one board 30 cm wide and 110 cm long. The last board of this length, because it will serve as the base of the house, the side a wardrobe for dolls and a library with books, which is why they are longer.

Then you need to cut two boards 112 cm long and 30 cm wide, these will be our box walls.
The back wall of the house and the roof are also made of plywood. All this was cut out with a jigsaw and fastened with a screwdriver and small bolts. I advise you to choose a figure eight for plywood, because it will be difficult to fasten the walls and all other details of the house to a thin one.

Having cut off a small piece of tulle, 50 centimeters long and 6 cm wide, I strung it along the edge with a thread, too of blue color. Next, I took the cap from a five-liter bottle and, having made a hole in it, placed it in a sushi stick and filled it with hot glue.

Step-by-step master class: how to make a cardboard house for a cat

If you have a tailed whiskered animal at home, you know how cats love to hide - they jump into a stroller, climb into boxes or on a rack. You can make a house out of the box and your pet will have a personal apartment that no one will claim.

Cardboard box for a cat - original and interesting idea, but, alas, such a house will quickly become unusable. Cardboard is afraid of water, so it cannot be washed. If your pet confuses the house with the tray, the cat's apartment will have to be thrown away.

In addition, cats like to sharpen their claws, and this will also harm the house.

Despite the disadvantages, this option is the cheapest and fastest to perform.

Building a cat house

  1. You need to choose a box in which your cat will not be cramped. Cats love space and love visibility, so don't put the box in the farthest corner of the room.
  2. Place a rug or pillow on the floor.
  3. You can paste over the outside of the house with old wallpaper so that the cat's home does not violate the interior of the "human" room.

When the house is ready, invite the cat to examine it. Let him get used to the new thing, study it. It is not necessary to force the cat to immediately climb inside, this can only scare him away.

How to make a cardboard house (video)

If you have a fantasy and love to craft, you can do toy house from cardboard. Such a gift will appeal to both toddlers and older children. Even an adult girl will appreciate such a gift, because very often you want to return to a carefree childhood and play with Barbie dolls again.

Many mistakenly believe that dollhouses are child's play. However, doll collectors do not agree with this statement. Indeed, a simple do-it-yourself dollhouse out of the box is more suitable for children's play for several times, because not only are such houses usually short-lived, but also the child, having played enough, will soon forget about the house out of the box.

Features of homemade construction

Make a house with your own hands or buy a ready-made one - everyone decides for himself. But since the process of creation itself is important for many, this question disappears by itself.

The purpose of the house can be different: from a model of a real apartment to a kind of showcase for an exhibition of dolls. In any case, the main thing is to correctly determine the scale, because the dolls will not be able to interact with objects that are not suitable in size, and what can we say about the height of the ceiling.

The level of detail of interior items also depends on the scale: the bigger the thing, the more small parts will have to be worked out. Well, of course, it depends on the skill level.

How to make a house out of a box

It is convenient to use a box as a material for building a toy home. However, a house made of a cardboard box will not best solution both aesthetically and in terms of durability. A house made of plywood or hardboard will look much better.

During work, materials and tools may be required:

Of course, this is only sample list that may be useful at work.

Interior and room design

Each room, as in a real apartment, should differ not only in furniture and its purpose, but also in wallpaper and flooring. Instead of wallpaper, self-adhesive paper is perfect. You should not use real wallpapers for pasting walls, because their pattern is too large, and they will look bad in a doll's room.

But for the floor, pieces of thin plain linoleum or carpet are quite suitable. Of course, if the house is being made, for example, for an exhibition or it must exactly repeat a real apartment, you can put parquet or laminate, the boards of which can be easily made from popsicle sticks. But often you can get by with ready-made options.

Making a doll's living room

The main room of the dollhouse, as in ordinary apartment is the living room. The set of furniture here may be different, but we will consider classic version furnishings by adding places for pets.

The type of living room will depend on the number of people living in the house, their age and hobbies. You can put massive chairs here, and lay out books on the shelf - in case the owners are older people who prefer a relaxing holiday.

Or, on the contrary, leave more free space for playing Twister or pillow houses.

Sofa selection

The sofa is perhaps the most important part of the living room. Here the dolls will spend family evenings in front of the TV or behind board game. To make the sofa look like a real one, you need to make a strong base from thin plywood or hardboard. If you do not want to complicate the process, you can replace the material with corrugated cardboard.

The soft parts of the sofa and pillows can either be sewn on their own and stuffed with padding polyester (or any convenient filler, but not too soft and moderately elastic so that the sofa does not wrinkle), or you can cover the dishwashing sponges with a cloth, after giving them the desired shape.

The legs will look good if you make them from pieces of a sushi stick.

Bedside table with doors

It's also an aquarium stand. The least time-consuming option would be to make the frame of the bedside table out of corrugated cardboard, and put the doors out of the same cardboard on toothpicks or wooden skewers. Thus, it will the simplest option opening doors.

The external (and, if desired, internal) veneer trim will look very natural. If this is a tape for pasting countertops, then it will be more convenient to work with it due to its size.

Accessories can be made both from wood and from small plastic parts that are likely to be found at home.

Of course, you can do without it. But if you decide to do it, you need to do it as naturally as possible. There are two ways to make a quality aquarium:

For an aquarium made in the second way, you will have to make a veneer frame on top, otherwise it will look unnatural, because the water level and walls rising above the water are not visible.

Bedroom for Barbie doll

Having a bedroom in a dollhouse designed for children's play is very disciplined. Firstly, with the help of dolls it is easy to show the child that everyone goes to bed at night, and even dolls. So it's time for the baby to sleep.

Secondly, with the help of a doll bedroom, you can teach your child to put all the toys in their places at night.

Bed in the bedroom

doll bed can be made different ways. This may be a product wooden base and a massive headboard, or, conversely, a light armored mesh made of wire.

To make a mattress, a large sponge is suitable, which should be wrapped with a cloth. Also, the mattress can be quilted by hand for greater realism. It will not be superfluous and edging around the perimeter.

Wardrobe

An ordinary wardrobe with hinged doors is made in the same way as a bedside table for the living room, it differs only internal filling- inside the cabinet there is a bar with hangers. From outside or inside doors can be glued a mirror.

Slightly more difficult is the puppet wardrobe. In it, the doors will no longer rotate due to a toothpick, but move along the cabinet body along special grooves, the location of which must be foreseen in advance.

A bedside table can be made by analogy with a bedside table in the living room, or you can do it easier: glue several matchboxes and glue this design with veneer. In this case, the sliding parts of the boxes are used as a drawer. It remains only to attach the arms and legs.

Children's doll room

It may well be that, in addition to the adult inhabitants of the house, there are also children or teenagers who also need their own room. And if everything is clear with the children's room: a bed made of wooden skewers, miniature cubes, balls and pyramids that can be poured out of wax, then it will be more difficult with a teenager's room.

The child's room should reflect his character and interests.. In Barbie Punk's abode, you will surely see an unmade bed, scattered things, a guitar that is easy to make from veneer, posters - clippings from magazines - will hang on the walls.

In the room of a stereotypical excellent student, you can put a rack with books, “plant” indoor plants in pots.

The kitchen includes a stove, refrigerator, sink, drawers for storing dishes, dining table and possibly ovens, microwave oven, dishwasher.

The sink for washing dishes can be made from the bottom of a yogurt cup, painted in metal grey colour. For a faucet and faucet, large-section wire is perfect.

The rest of the furniture can be modeled after the one in other rooms, making minor adjustments. For example, oven and microwave doors should have glass inserts.

The bathroom differs from the rest of the dollhouse in the first place by covering the floor and walls. The easiest option:

As a grout, you can use different compositions: from plasticine to real tile grout (if it suddenly remains after repair)

The bath itself can be made from an oblong plastic package from yogurt or cakes, and covered with white polymer clay from the inside.

Pets for dolls

Toy pets are a great way to introduce your child to responsibility. Yes, a toy puppy will also have to be looked after, since we have a house with a claim to realism.

An animal, be it a cat, or a dog, or even a bird, needs its own corner, its own place. If the house is not apartment house, and suburban or private, you can evict the dog outside the house - in a kennel or put on a chain.

If you place all the animals in the house, then you can sew a cozy soft bedding for the cat, and attach a scratching post next to it. You can lay a blanket on the dog and give a small rubber toy.

A bird, like a real one, can be put in a wire cage by fitting a pole, a swing and a small mirror from the inside (if the scale allows).

Places of animals can be placed both in rooms and separated by partitions.

Of course, there are a lot of options to make a house for dolls out of the box, because for each purpose and for each doll you need a certain interior design, a certain size of the house. And you can also add to the house, for example, make a backlight, clad the house on the outside, hang lamps in each room, add carpets, paintings and posters, make interior doors.
