From the bookshelf or shelf you can make a great dollhouse. Make it very easy, because you already have a ready basis. For registration of the house, use cardboard, wallpaper, self-adhesive paper, suitable and wrapping paper.

If the house is located stationary against the wall, then you can make the roof of the house using black electrical tape, gluing the contours. Similarly, glue the chimney. If you need to move the house to another place, the tape can be easily peeled off without damaging the wallpaper in the room. Furniture for dolls, you can buy ready-made or show your imagination and do it yourself.

Is your daughter asking for a dollhouse, and is there an old chest of drawers gathering dust in the garage? In the old, already unnecessary furniture, you can breathe a second life. Treat your child by making a dollhouse from an old locker or dresser. Such houses are very convenient for those whose children play with large or tall dolls.

First of all, you need to know the height of the dolls. This is necessary so that the dolls can be placed in rooms in full growth. You may have to combine 2 shelves, removing unnecessary partitions. Work carefully, trying not to break the inner walls of the cabinet or chest of drawers. In place of the partitions that we removed, an empty void will appear. It can be sealed with thin strips that fit the size.

After waiting for the glue to dry completely, apply a thin layer of putty to the walls of the dresser. After that, the chest must be sanded, then it will become even and smooth. With the jigsaw you can cut windows.

The final step will be the design of your house. Outside it can be painted. Most likely, you will have to paint it in several layers in order to paint over the old color of the dresser. The walls inside can be covered with wallpaper, colored, packaging or self-adhesive paper. And you can also just paint them. We arrange furniture, hang pictures and mirrors on the walls, curtains, spread carpets and invite dolls to the housewarming party. Now in the room of your daughter dolls will always be cleaned!

We will need:

• corrugated cardboard for the framework of the house;
• decorative cardboard for home decoration;
• templates of parts, which will depend on the size of your future house; sweep;
• stationery: pencil, ruler, eraser, scissors;
• knife, paints, brushes, markers;
• glue gun;
• colored, wrapping and self-adhesive paper;
• the cloth;
• decorative elements - beads, rhinestones, stones, artificial flowers.

Getting to the manufacture of the house:

1. If you have a large sheet of corrugated cardboard, then it will be possible to spread a scan on it. Size to choose based on the size of the house. If there are no large sheets, then each part must be cut separately. The front wall is not necessary.

1. In order for the cardboard to be comfortable to bend, it is necessary to make a groove in the place of the bend, holding it with a ruler. If all the details are cut out, we glue them at the joints of the cardboard.
2. Cut and glue interior partitions. In such a house they are simply necessary. They will perform the carrier function.

The design is assembled. You can proceed to registration.

Inside the wall is better to paste over with decorative paper or cloth. So you hide the seams in the places of gluing. Outside the wall, you can arrange to your taste: paint, glue. Decorate the house with beads, rhinestones, stones or other items at your discretion. Pay attention to the elements of the decor are well kept on the cardboard, otherwise in the process of playing the house will lose its appeal.

Arrange the furniture and invite the child to the game.

Very easy to make a doll house from the boxes. For it, you will need to find suitable boxes. The size will depend on the height of the dolls for which this house is made. The number of boxes will depend on the number of rooms you are going to make. One box - one room. Such a house can be made multi-storey, sticking boxes one on top of another. This will save room space.

It is necessary to fasten the boxes to each other so that its top is on its side, revealing the inner space of the room. This can be done in various ways: using a stapler, glue, double-sided tape.

It remains to open the folder and put them vertically. Add the necessary furniture.

It is possible to make a separate room from each folder of the folders.

For its manufacture, we need a dense fabric for the back wall of the base. The length must be calculated from the number of floors and the height of the dolls. We sew a rectangle-based. Next, we sew pockets in which we put a sheet of cardboard - this will be the floor of our rooms. We sew ribbons or ribbons to the two corners of the pocket. All that is left to do is to sew the pockets on our base with rectangles with one edge, the corners with ribbons should be on the other side. Now we raise the floor in the rooms with the help of ribbons and fix them by sewing the ribbons to the base. Using a ribbon, make a handle by which you hang your house on hooks. Fabric applications can be issued to the back wall and start playing.
