Operating procedure:
It so happened that one of my daughters fell ill with chickenpox, and I needed to keep them occupied with something at home. We decided to make everything together house for our dolls. They made it according to the principle: I made it out of what I had. We didn’t have a ready-made box, but we did have a fairly large piece of cardboard and many small pieces of varying thickness and texture. I thought that our house would be a small one consisting of two rooms, but that was not the case: 2 young designers had their own thoughts about our house.
As a result, we began to do dollhouse 3 floors with 5 rooms(later the upper floor was divided into 2 parts and there were 6 rooms).
Layout
I cut out 1 piece from a large piece of cardboard - this is the back wall of our house and 2 side ones (see photo 1).
Next I bent 2 side walls and began gluing the floor and ceiling (photo 2).
The house has dimensions: height - 74 cm, width - 50 cm, depth - 30 cm.
I covered the blank for our house with pieces of wallpaper and suitable paper (see photo 3).
The outside of the house is covered with wallpaper, the roof is strips of cardboard measuring 3 cm by 31 cm, glued overlapping.
The frames are glued together from strips of cardboard.
Our house needed a variety of puppet, which we tried to make with our own hands from scrap materials. I glued everything by eye without preliminary drawings or patterns. I simply cut a cardboard rectangle and glued the necessary pieces to it. All furniture is painted with acrylic paint and covered with acrylic varnish.
Bedroom
So, room No. 1 - bedroom. There is a lot of furniture in it, and the first thing we’ll start with is this. It is quite easy to glue it together, just look at photo 4.
I covered the cardboard blank with acrylic paint, after the paint had dried, varnished it, glued a soft mattress, added a few soft pillows and a blanket.
The next pieces of furniture are a chest of drawers and a bedside table (photos 5 and 6).
The principle of their manufacture is the same - a small cardboard box to which false drawers are glued. There was also a place in the bedroom for a comfortable rocking chair (photo 7).
Big and spacious wardrobe also found its place (photo 8).
In photo 9 the whole room is in color.
You can also watch how to make a bed for dolls (and other furniture) on the “Homemade” channel:
common room
Room number 2 - common room to watch TV. The TV in our house is flat - a large cardboard rectangle was covered with black acrylic paint, after drying, a suitable picture was glued and the whole thing was covered with acrylic varnish.
The main place in this room is occupied by a spacious one, which houses a large family of dolls.
The base of the sofa is a cardboard blank (photo 10).
The back and armrests are covered with paint and varnish, and the base is glued with padding polyester and fabric. My daughters already had a table - it was a wooden construction set, onto which we glued a piece of cardboard and painted it all together.
We see room No. 2 in photo 11.
Video on how to make a cabinet:
On the second floor of our house there is a music room and a kitchen.
Living room
IN music room there is a fireplace (photo 12).
It, unlike all our furniture, is covered with cracks. At the beginning it was covered with white acrylic paint. After it dries, a layer of craquelure medium is applied. After this layer has dried, a layer of black acrylic paint is applied. After drying, the entire product is coated with matte acrylic varnish.
Since our living room is musical, then from 6 matchboxes the piano was glued together (photo 13). It was immediately covered with colored paper, but the paper turned out to be of poor quality, and later it was painted, like all the furniture in the house. In addition, I glued 2 square beads to it - these are pedals.
The piano stool (photo 14) is glued together from cardboard, painted and decorated with a velvet cushion.
Sofa (photo 15) and armchair (photo 16). I glued them together from cardboard and decided not to cover them with fabric, but simply paint them with paint; my daughters were happy to help me with this. After applying varnish, they are very similar to leather.
The entire music room after painting the furniture (photo 17).
Kitchen
Room No. 4 is the kitchen, it is small but roomy. The kitchen set is Big cupboard in the shape of the letter G (photo 18).
The sink is a small plastic jam container, the faucet is made from modeling clay, and there is a small hanging cabinet:
The stove is electric with 4 burners (photo 20), its door opens.
In the kitchen we have 2 chairs (photo 21) and a table (photo 22).
Dishes were also made from small items (photo 23).
Photo 24 shows our kitchen after applying paint and varnish.
Actually top floor we accommodated children's and toilet room.
Children's room
IN children's The main place is occupied by a bunk bed (photo 25).
She has soft mattresses and pillows. In the room there is a small table (photo 26) and a chair (photo 27).
There is also a cabinet for toys (photo 28).
In this room I did not cut a window, but simply glued a cardboard one to the side wall. The room is decorated with a colorful alphabet (cut from paper packaging from a children's toy). Photo 29 shows a children's room in color.
Almost all the chandeliers in our house are glued together from disposable containers, beads, cockerel sticks and braid.
Only one, which is in the music room, is made of beads, wire and bead fittings.
I also glued a ladder to the house, but we have it attached for now, because I am afraid that if it is glued, it will interfere with two children playing at the same time.
Bathroom and toilet
For toilet room we needed a toilet, sink and bathtub. It was necessary to make them quickly and simply.
And I decided to just sculpt them from modeling material. Which is what we subsequently did with our daughters (photo 30).
They may not be ideal, but they were made together.
Our works took about a day to dry. Next, we painted them with white acrylic paint and coated them with glossy acrylic varnish. After drying, the tank turned out to be quite heavy, then I replaced it with a lighter one (cut it out of cork and painted it). To keep the sink stable on the wall, I glued a nightstand underneath it. The bedside table was painted like all the furniture in the house. Next, I glued the bedside table to the wall and floor of the house, and then glued the sink. A tap (made from modeling clay) and beads are glued to the sink. There was no ready-made mirror, and ours is also made of cardboard.
The toilet is made of several parts - the base, cockerel sticks, a tank (made of cork), chains and beads.
This entire structure is complemented by a seat - cut out of cardboard and covered with plain fabric.
In photo 32 the entire toilet room is in color.
So quickly and cheerfully, together with our daughters, we built from scrap materials our dollhouse. Such crafts always bring joy to children.
It may be quite simple for now, but my daughters are quite happy with it and enjoy playing together.

Shelter for a cat
A cardboard house for cats can be built by the whole family in a very short amount of time. The first thing to do is to draw doors and windows using templates.
Start assembling the bottom of the box. Bend the opposite flaps, apply glue to them and fold the remaining flaps on top. Press them together until the glue dries. At the top end of the box, cut off two wide flaps. Next, cut half of the remaining sash and bend it. Do the same with the second whole sash. Secure them with glue in this position.
The next stage is creating the roof. On the top of the second box, on the small flap, draw lines from the center of the top to bottom corners. Do the same with the second flap. Then cut out one large flap. Cut the edge along the first drawn line and fold the second one. Repeat the same steps with the second leaf.
At the bottom of the second box, cut off the wide flaps, and from the first smaller one, cut off exactly half so that when gluing the two boxes there is a hole. Glue the boxes together. Then take the first wide cut flap and glue it to the bottom of the second tier to strengthen it.
The second box will be used to make the roof. To do this, cut a piece measuring 45 by 115 centimeters. Fold it in half along the long side. Apply glue to the triangles of the small flaps on the top of the second box and glue them to the wide flap. Apply glue on top and glue only the first side of the roof so that the cat can look out from under it.
