Site arrangement

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, 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 planters from the beads, carefully separating the foil, paint them from a spray can, glue the hanging ropes on the sides. Then we form balls from 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.

Playing according to the scenario "Builders", the participants "Cities of Professions" They were given the task of building their dream home. And that's what came of it! Someone's house turned out to be edible from cheese and sausage, someone's multi-storey, someone made a real palace with glowing lights on the roof, and another participant decided to create a whole model of a city for her daughter with all kinds of buildings, roads and intersections. As you can see, there are a lot of options. And which one do you want to repeat with your child at home?

We decided to build a house from soft floor plates. In addition, we only needed paper for windows and doors and adhesive tape (we glued windows and doors on double-sided tape). It turned out quickly, simply, and you can climb inside yourself, which the children really liked.

We also built a church out of plastic bottles. Here the process is, of course, more complicated.

You will need:

plastic bottles;
dye;
plasticine;
double-sided tape or strong glue.

It is necessary to cut round windows from bottles and arched doors. Then glue the bottles with glue (we glued with double-sided tape). Next is painting. You need to use paint that will not peel off plastic bottle. We have leftover paint for the ceilings after the repair. They used her.

While the paint dries, we make domes of churches from plasticine. To save plasticine, we crumpled newspaper balls and covered them with plasticine. Domes need to be attached to bottle caps and cover the seams. Now it remains only to decorate the border of windows and doors with plasticine sausages and screw caps with domes to the bottles. The church is ready.

For more than a year now, I have been planning to create a model of the city, and the KUM project for the study of professions convinced me even more of this need! To create the layout, I used cardboard folders, which I glued together. On the layout there is an automobile and railway, crossroads, park area, reservoir, stops, station, pedestrian crossings, grass and paving stones.

For the manufacture of buildings in our city, I took 5 empty boxes from Hercules and glued them on both sides with color pictures characterizing certain administrative buildings cities. It turned out 10 institutions - a cafe, a fire department, a police station, a school, an airport, a train station, a hospital, a post office, a library.

Most I found color pictures on the Internet, to create the background of the library, I scanned a page from Richard Scarry's book "From morning to evening in the City of Good Deeds." From the end I pasted the houses with colored tape, all the buildings were completely pasted over with tape for durability. Each house is numbered from 1 to 5 for subsequent games on the distribution of mail, the resettlement of animals.

I also made a 3D model of buildings - I printed out the pictures of the buildings in duplicate, pasted the lower front buildings on cardboard, glued them with a second layer. The result is a multi-layered layout that looks more interesting.

To build a house, we needed:

two cardboard boxes (one bigger, one smaller);
four jars of baby puree;
gouache;
adhesive tape;
LEDs and wires.

First, Dad cut holes for the cans in the lid of the smaller box. Then dad rolled up both boxes with white film, and Sonya painted the jars with gouache. While the jars were drying, dad made small holes for the wires in the jar lids, after which he glued the diodes to the lids and soldered the wires.

While dad was fixing the electrics, Sonya and I cut out a door, windows and hearts from self-adhesive film to decorate the house. When the glowing turrets were ready, we attached upper part houses to the base (box bigger size), glued the door, windows and hearts.

Can the craft "Winter House" be not only beautiful and decorative, but also useful? Why not? Do not be too lazy to make the roof removable and beautifully decorate the interior of the base box - and you will get an unusual box or even a small hiding place.

Use the smallest "tea" candles; they can only be placed in a figure made of flammable material in heat-resistant glass cups.

PVA glue;
Thick cardboard;
White, soft toilet paper;
Thin cardboard;
Glue "Moment";
Cotton wool;
Gouache, brushes;
Salty dough.

Execution process:

Fold A4 sheets in half and cut. From the cut sheets we twist the tubes, with a diameter of about 7 mm. We glue the edges of the tube with PVA. You need to wind about 60 such tubes, depending on the size of the box.

Next, take the box, you can leave the bottom and 4 walls from it. Select 2 parallel walls, from the side of which we will have the upper triangular parts of the facade of the house - the pediments. Measure them out on thin cardboard, cut them out and stick them to these walls.

Now measure and cut required amount windows, at your discretion. Paste the whole house with newspaper, inside you can paint with gouache.\

Then we glue the finished tubes with PVA glue, in the form of a log house. We control the length of the tubes: if necessary, cut with a knife. In places of window connectors, we measure the tubes, cut and glue. We glue the surface of the resulting log house with toilet paper, carefully covering it with PVA, pressing down with a brush. When the house dries up, you can safely paint with gouache, determining the appropriate color.

We measure the roof from thick cardboard, cut it out and glue it to the house with Moment glue. We cover the finished roof with PVA glue, cut out the connector for the pipe. We glue the pipe made of thin cardboard with Moment glue to the connector, paint it with gouache. Smoke - sintepon. On the finished roof apply white wool. We cover it with PVA on top. When the roof is dry, for the greatest whiteness, you can paint with white gouache and cover with liquid sparkles.
