How to make a dollhouse with your own hands

Adults forget children's dreams. Especially girls who in childhood represented their idealized future. Someone dreamed of beauty, singing, beautiful things, others presented their adult life in abundance, surrounded by happy children, with an attentive husband in a large bright house. But they all dreamed of their toy house, which will allow to realize their plans. Generations replace each other, but the desires of girls remain unchanged.

The story of the appearance of the toy has tens of centuries. Known copies found in Egypt, which relate to the existence of the state BC. e. In Europe, such products were available only to rich families, but over time, everything changed. Now there is anything in the children's store, from classic Barbie to the characters of your favorite cartoons, who can even live in castles. However, the indecently high cost of such structures may surprise the parent. But do not be upset, you can please your child with a toy made by himself.

The advantages of making a house with your own hands

Any hand-made article, especially created for its children, is filled with warmth, has strong energy, brings joy to the baby. In the process of work, individuality and creative abilities are manifested. You can gather all family members, happy to spend time surrounded by their loved ones. So, consider the advantages of self-design:

  • Exclusivity, originality. The house will be different in that it is a single piece of art. This will not be anyone else. Companies that make factory products, make them specifically with parts that spoil them, or the design is unacceptable in general, but with very attractive components. This is done intentionally. Perfect toys that have the perfect look are incredibly expensive;
  • Always in fashion. Handheld product will never lose its relevance. It does not depend on advertising. The good thing will be long like the owners;
  • Flight of fancy. When creating a house, you can embody any wishes of the child. He can be a desktop, reach human growth. Have floors, a different number of rooms, windows, interior items;
  • Saving home budget. In addition to a pleasant stay, a hand-made house will allow you to save money.

The child should participate in the manufacture of the house. He will always tell you what you would like to see, what you expect from the created structure. In addition, he will appreciate more hand-made toy.

Drafting

House - the cherished dream of many girls. It provides an opportunity to have a good rest, play with friends, embody children's desires. Work on the creation of the product begins with the question of how to make a dollhouse with your own hands, what materials to use, to determine the size. To do this, create a project of future design. He is to transfer the idea to paper. Must meet certain requirements:

  1. Functionality. Constructed building should be practical. To meet certain standards, to have an attractive external and internal appearance. Be no worse than the factory options.
  2. Simplicity of design. The autograph project should be done without unnecessary frills. Difficult schemes require certain skills. For this you need to gain experience.
  3. Calculations. It is necessary to calculate the availability and quantity of materials required. Identify the necessary tools with which to carry out the upcoming work.
  4. Accurately made drawings - the key to success. The appearance, accuracy of the future structure depends on it. You can download ready-made models from the Internet, if you have the skills, complete the drawing yourself, use special programs. The preliminary sketch can be drawn on a sheet in a cell.

The shape, height and size of the house

An important design stage is determining the size and shape of the house. It can be single, multi-storey. Have a rectangular, square shape. It is possible to create a castle with round towers. Parameters of products are different, it all depends on the area of ​​the children's room, the wishes of the child, the author's fantasy. When creating a sketch of rooms should consider the following requirements:

  • The height of the ceiling in the room is determined by the growth of its toy inhabitants, it is usually two sizes of dolls. Such a requirement will allow you to easily rearrange the inhabitants of the house to the rooms;
  • The depth of the rooms is calculated from the need for free space to place the items installed inside. The width depends on the total area of ​​the structure, the number of rooms;
  • The material used affects the area and height of the product. Each individual raw material is characterized by its ability to withstand different loads, to retain its original shape;
  • When creating a two-story buildings should be properly positioned room. The first floor is characterized by a kitchen, an entrance hall, a living room, for the second - a bedroom, a hall, a study. You can also provide for the attic, balcony, veranda.

Small houses do the hardest. It is difficult to work with small details, it is especially difficult to install windows, doors, to carry out decoration of rooms.

Materials for the construction of the dollhouse

When building a house an important factor is the choice of a suitable material, not only for the structure itself, but also for all the elements that make up its composition (table, chair, bed, wardrobe). All components must be strong, reliable. For children up to 3 years old it is advisable to use wooden parts, without varnishing, paint. This is due to the desire of the child to taste everything, he can nibble, lick a toy.

The construction can be made using different raw materials: wood, plastic, metal, fabric, plywood, linoleum, cotton wool, laminate. The main thing that the house turned out strong, durable, not collapsed at the first contact with the child. The most practical, sustainable structures are made of wood, plywood, laminate. They are not much different from factory products. Let us dwell in more detail on the popular materials used in construction.

Plywood

This is a great choice for creating crafts. It is a layered slab formed by gluing several rows of veneer. It has a number of advantages, which are expressed in:

  • High strength. Toys differ in long service life, do not break in children's hands;
  • Appearance. The top layer of veneer has a woody pattern;
  • Low heat emission. Plywood is warm when touched - an important quality for a baby;
  • Simple processing. Painting, cutting, drilling, milling, fastening - will not be difficult;
  • Reasonable price. For plywood house requires a little raw materials, and its cost is small.

The content of formaldehyde in the glue should be minimal, correspond to the marking E0. For a child requires an environmentally friendly product.

Getting started is to prepare materials and tools. For this we need: sheet plywood, not less than 5 mm thick; hacksaw or jigsaw; PVA, wood glue, adhesive tape; pieces of wallpaper (you can use the remnants of the repair work); measuring instruments, pencil, pen.

The next stage of construction will be the preparation of the drawing. It can be downloaded from the network, draw it yourself. Having everything you need, we proceed to work. Consider a step by step mater class:

  1. According to the drawing, we draw up templates that are transferred onto a sheet of plywood.
  2. Hacksaw or jigsaw cut out the structural elements, cut out window openings, doors.
  3. We clean the sharp corners and edges with a file, sandpaper.
  4. Using glue or nails, we connect all the elements, starting with the attachment to the base of the side walls, then go to the back.
  5. When the frame is ready, we proceed to the partitions, above we fix the ceiling.
  6. If there is a second floor, we make the assembly in the same way.
  7. We install the roof, imitate the roof covering on it, for example, glue colored, chopped cardboard.
  8. The next step will be the interior trim. To do this, you can stick a film with a wood pattern on the floor, attach pieces of fabric, lay linoleum. The walls are painted, plastered with wallpaper.
  9. If the house is multi-storey, inside you can install stairs.
  10. At the final stage, we arrange the interior items and place them inside the dolls.



Tree

Working with wood is a bit more difficult. In the process of manufacturing facilities will require the following materials and equipment:

  • sheet of paper, ruler, meter, pencil;
  • boards of coniferous or hardwood of the smallest thickness (according to GOST minimum - 16 mm);
  • plywood, files, sandpaper;
  • glue on wood, nails;
  • wooden bars;
  • circular saw, jigsaw, hand-milling equipment;
  • protective mask, glasses.

The work takes place in several stages:

  1. According to the drawings we prepare templates.
  2. We attach the templates to the board and transfer the markup to it.
  3. Circular saw cut out the outlined billet.
  4. On the elements of the roof in the place of their upper connection we cut a slope with an angle of 45 degrees.
  5. To cut windows and doors with a jigsaw, drill along the marked edges of the hole.
  6. The final size of the openings make manual milling equipment, if there is none, you can use the file.
  7. Sharp edges and all holes are ground with sandpaper.
  8. We assemble our structure with glue and nails. On the basis we install side walls, which should reach the roof, interfloor partitions are located between them. Install the roof.
  9. As the back wall we use a sheet of plywood, fiberboard with a thickness of more than 3 mm. It should extend beyond all edges by a few mm. After its fixing with a milling machine, we complete the treatment of the walls of the house.
  10. If necessary, install a balcony. To do this, we take four identical rectangular bars, make a hole in them at the upper edge, where we insert round slats that serve as partitions. Next, this design is installed on a special ledge.
  11. At the final stage we install the chimney on the roof, clean the craft from dust.







Chipboard

The plate made in the process of pressing wood chips, used in furniture production. Easy enough to handle. Contains formaldehydes. To work take the product type of emission E0, E1. To build a house, we need:

  • Chipboard sheets, of a thickness of 8 mm or more, lined with veneer, paper, or laminated chipboard, covered with a polymer film;
  • screwdriver, screws, glue;
  • drill with special nozzles for cutting holes;
  • jigsaw, hacksaw;
  • sheet, simple pencil;
  • measuring instruments.

Stages of creating a house with an open balcony and a lean-to roof:

  1. On the sheets of plywood move the elements of the drawing.
  2. Cut out all parts of the structure.
  3. We fix side walls and partitions to the base. Fixation occurs with screws. Holes must be drilled in the places where they are screwed in so that the chipboard does not separate;
  4. Next, fasten the ceiling, which will be the basis for the second floor.
  5. To get a shed roof, the wall to which the balcony adjoins is done higher than the side one. We fasten our roof on them.
  6. The side wall and the partition of the balcony are one piece, but its side parts will have to be cut.
  7. Before fixing the rear partition, we pre-drill windows in the shape of a circle in it, for this we use a drill with a special nozzle.




Laminate

To create a layout, you can use wood flooring. Materials for making are similar to wood. They are as follows:

  • laminate boards with a thickness of 8, 12 mm;
  • paper, pen, ruler;
  • jigsaw drill;
  • glue, stationery knife.

When creating such a house, you will be lucky for people who still have excess building material after repairs. Consider a master class on building a house with a garage and a gable roof:

  1. We draw the scheme, we swing it in a network.
  2. If the structure is small, the wall can be made of one board, its width should be enough. For larger structures will have to connect several lamellae.
  3. From the front side we cut windows, a doorway and entrance gates to the garage. On the side wall from the side of the garage we make round holes with a drill with a nozzle, they will serve as ventilation holes. Windows on the sides are not required, they are best done on the rear partition.
  4. As the base, the foundation we use thicker boards of 12 mm.
  5. The walls can be connected with glue, it is better to fasten with iron corners, installing them at the internal junction of partitions.
  6. We make the front side removable.
  7. At the final stage install the roof.
  8. If there is a lot of free time, you can make an entrance door and a gate from a laminate by attaching them with small hinges.




Drywall

The product of this raw material is easy, but rather fragile. To create a house you will need:

  • drywall sheet;
  • PVA glue, carpentry;
  • pencil measuring tools;
  • construction knife, metal corner, profile.

Step-by-step master class of a standard house in three floors:

  1. Mark up a sheet of drywall.
  2. First, we cut two side walls with a construction knife, then two horizontal partitions.
  3. Expose our side walls to the ribs so that they are parallel, at the same level. In the places of fastenings of partitions, on both sides we make a hole and fix the corners, which will serve as an additional support. Sheets of plasterboard, on the ends adjacent to the walls we smear with glue and put it on the corners, which can be disguised with a putty.
  4. Cut the base. It is also connected to the structure with glue and corners.
  5. Install the back panel. For its pre-fixing use the tape.
  6. The roof is fixed on the sides and on the ledge of the rear wall. To get the bend is not completely cut a sheet of drywall.
  7. The final stage will be the installation of vertical partitions, preferably one of them to strengthen the roof.
  8. If necessary, the product can be made mobile. To do this, reinforce the base by attaching to it a rectangular structure made of a building profile, to which the wheels will be attached.

Styrofoam

Inexpensive raw materials that can be found in almost every home. Usually it remains from the packaging of household appliances. This is a very fragile material. Work with him should be neat. To create the product we need:

  • sheet foam;
  • matches, toothpicks;
  • ceiling foam plinth;
  • measuring objects, glue or gun;
  • stationery knife.

The phased process is as follows:

  1. We make drawings and create patterns.
  2. Use a stationery knife to cut out blanks using templates. In order to avoid crumbs, it is better to use a special thermal knife for cutting foam.
  3. In the walls we cut doorways, window openings.
  4. Walls, a ceiling, the basis we fasten among themselves toothpicks or matches. They pierce the ends and side surfaces of the foam plane (junction). When joining parts, they are additionally glued together in the contact area.
  5. We collect the first floor of the building, starting with the installation of the front side, then the side.
  6. The second floor is collected by analogy with the first.
  7. To create the roof we use props, they will strengthen it.
  8. The top of the roof is fastened with matches, additionally reinforcing with scotch tape until glue dries.
  9. Between the floors we build a staircase. It is also made from foam. Bamboo sticks can be used as a railing (they are also used to strengthen the structure).
  10. At the final stage, make the exterior and interior. Ceiling baseboards are used to create window sills.

Cardboard

Cardboard house - unreliable design. The little girl will break it quickly. The material bends easily. The product is created from:

  • corrugated cardboard;
  • pencil, ruler;
  • scissors, stationery knife;
  • electrical tape, glue, adhesive tape.

The technology for creating children's toys is as follows:

  1. The drawing is transferred to the cardboard, from which the components of the structure are cut out.
  2. In a cardboard make window openings.
  3. Further, all structural elements are glued together.
  4. To strengthen the design, the edges of the walls are not cut, but wrapped and glued to other planes.
  5. Parts of the roof that protrude outside the house should be glued with tape, tape.
  6. The house is very fragile, so it is better to place a small doll in it. Furniture, respectively, should also be light, small.

Houses from old furniture

Renovation of the house, apartment, renovation of the interior in them is often accompanied by the purchase of new furniture, while the old one goes to the loggia, attic, and basement. We'll have to print the bins, because the unused dressers, lockers, shelves will become an indispensable material in the construction of the dollhouse. Working with a model does not take much time, because walls, ceiling, base are ready. In the massive structure will fit a regiment of toys. To work we need:

  • pencil, measuring objects;
  • plywood board;
  • hammer, screwdriver, jigsaw, grinder;
  • nails, screws;
  • old furniture;
  • paint, glue.

The step-by-step instruction consists of the following actions:

  1. The frame of the house is ready, it remains to build a roof. To do this, measure the width of the cabinet and its depth. After that we cut the boards, at the upper joint making a slope of 45 degrees. Because the depth of the cabinet is wider than the standard board, you have to put together a few pieces together. После установки крыши усиливаем ее перегородками по бокам, заодно разделяем чердачное пространство на несколько частей.
  2. Vertical partitions in the shelf can be left, if necessary, add new ones.
  3. The doors of the locker can be used as the front side of the house, which closes. Next, cut the window, if necessary - the doorway, using a jigsaw and drill.
  4. The next step is to clean the internal and external surfaces with a grinder from the old coating. Then we clean the entire structure of dirt, put a layer of paint.
  5. All the following actions are related to decorating the structure.

Cardboard box house

The easiest way to create a house. It is necessary to pick up boxes of appropriate sizes. Materials for the work is also necessary for a minimum:

  • household appliances cardboard boxes, ordinary gray;
  • pencil, ruler;
  • office knife, stapler, glue.

Work with the material is as follows:

  1. We use stronger boxes from household appliances as floors, as long as they are the same size.
  2. Cut out the sides of each box box.
  3. We glue three boxes together, while leaving the top box without a partition, which plays the role of the ceiling.
  4. Getting to the roof. To do this, we take the cut cardboard covers and cut two strips from them, which will be the roof slopes. Bending and putting the edges on each other, we fix them with the side walls and on the upper point of the roof between themselves with the help of a stapler and glue. We also attach the back wall of the attic.
  5. Internal partitions can be installed from individual sheets of cardboard, or the size of the box can be selected, which exactly fit into the floor, while still strengthening the structure as a whole.
  6. We decorate the house with the help of fabric, fringe, ribbons, foam products.

Fabric house

Unique crafts. Expanding the bag, we get a house located on the same plane. To create such a miracle is necessary:

  • a couple of pieces of HB tissue or felt, size 50x40 cm;
  • smaller fabric trimming;
  • Buttons, threads, ribbons;
  • pencil, paper;
  • scissors, needles, sewing machine.

Consider a detailed master class:

  1. To begin with, draw a sketch on paper, cut out patterns.
  2. Fasten the fabric to the template and transfer to it the contour.
  3. On the main pieces of fabric, we cut out the doorway and windows successively, i.e. Do not proceed to the next hole, while we install the patch on the existing one.
  4. After completing all the external elements, proceed to the internal. Here we can accommodate four rooms (the best option). This is a bathroom, kitchen, bedroom, hall.
  5. For each separate room we sew pieces of cloth, imitating characteristic objects. For example, in the bedroom you can place a wardrobe with opening doors, a bed in which you can put a small doll. In the bathroom - washbasin with mirror, shower.
  6. At the final stage, we sew handles on the purse, which we fasten to the inside of the fabric that imitates the walls.

Options for exterior design

The facade is built, the house is almost ready, there are several stages left before handing it over to the baby. It is necessary to carry out the exterior finish of the structure, to create the product design Consider several design options:

  1. Imitation of brickwork walls, tiles on the roof. To do this, take the ice cream sticks and mode them into four parts. From the pieces that have a rounding, lay out the roof starting from the bottom row, gradually moving upward. Each subsequent row overlap the previous one. The upper joint of the roof slopes is covered with solid chopsticks, perpendicular to the tiles. Next, proceed to the facade. Cut rectangular sticks glued to the walls in the form of brickwork. The final stage will be painting the roof and facade paints.
  2. Simple house painting. The most common and fastest option. We paint the roof in pink color, the walls in white.
