Steps

Preparing to create a paper house

Gather everything you need. Depending on what type of house you decide to make, you will need a different set of materials. However, in any case, all materials will be easily accessible.

• For an origami-style house, you only need one sheet of plain paper, scissors, and a marker or pen.
• The dollhouse will be a little more difficult to make, but not much. It will require 10-11 sheets of paper, a pen or pencil, tape and scissors.
• If you want to make a fairy house, then you will need paper, a small bowl, water, a tray or plate.

1. Decide what kind of house you will make. The smallest house will be an origami style house, and the largest will be a doll house. Think about how you intend to use the cabin and base your decision on that.

   Organize yourself a clean workspace. You will find it difficult to work if your workbench is cluttered, as you will need to make neat folds on papers and make straight cuts. Therefore, for this job, your table must be clean.

   Make additional folds on the paper. Fold the square in half, bringing the left side towards the right. Then unfold it back. Next, fold the square in half, pulling the top side towards the bottom. Wrinkle the fold well and unfold the paper again. Two new folds should appear on the square, forming a plus.

   Fold the paper into a smaller square. First, fold the top side of the square towards the horizontal fold in the center that was created in the previous step. Then repeat this action with the bottom side and fold it up towards the middle.

   • Next, turn the paper over to the other side. Do not unroll the folds you have made before.
   • Now fold the left and right sides of the square towards the center. They should meet in the center at the vertical fold line.

2. Straighten the roof of the house. To get the roof of the house, you need to open the flaps of the upper corners of the paper. Lift them up, pull them to the side, and then push them down so that the corners of the roof extend beyond the sides of the house. After this operation, the paper folds should form isosceles triangles. An isosceles triangle has two sides of equal length.

   Complete the decoration of the house. Turn the paper over to the other side. Draw a door, window and other details that you want on the house. Everything is ready!

Making a dollhouse from paper

Tape two sheets of paper together. You need to glue two sheets of paper with the short sides. Start by folding these two sheets in half (“sandwich”). Be sure to press the folds well. Then lay out the sheets and glue them together with tape. You must glue those sides that run parallel to the folds you made earlier. Label the glued sheets with the letter A and set them aside.

Glue two more sheets together. Now you need to glue the two sheets together with the long sides. Label the resulting part with the letter B.

Draw a line on piece B. The line should be 7.5 cm from the tape. Cut the sheet along this line. Try to cut the paper as straight as possible. This will be the front side of the house.

Add a door. Place part B so that the tape strip is at the top. In the lower, larger part of part B, draw a door. You can also paint some windows and flower pots or any other design details for the front of the house.

Connect the front of the house to the floor. Use folded piece A for the floor and side walls. Tape the bottom side of Sheet B (which you just drew on) to the side of Sheet A halfway between the folds. Before gluing the parts, make sure that the side edges of the front sheet line up with the fold lines on sheet A (the sheet with the floor). If this does not happen, redo sheet A again according to the instructions above, or simply make a new fold on the old sheet in the required place.

Raise the walls of the house. Raise the side walls of the house and connect them to the sides of the front wall. Tape the walls together. Don't worry if the side walls are too short. You'll fix it soon.

Measure the height of the walls. Measure the empty space above the side walls to get an idea of ​​how much paper you will need to make them larger. Then cut out two rectangles of the appropriate size from paper. If you want, you can also paint (or stick) windows and other home decoration details on the side walls.

Tape rectangles to the side walls of the house to increase their height. Also be sure to glue them to the front wall of the house to increase the strength of the house.

Cut out the door. Cut the door on the facade so that it remains attached to the house on one side. Then crease the fold at this point so that the door can be opened and closed as desired.

Draw two large isosceles triangles on a separate sheet of paper. U isosceles triangle the two sides are the same length. Then cut out these triangles. They will become the sides of the roof. If you want, also draw or stick on the attic windows.

Measure the width of the front of the house to create the roof slopes. Cut two rectangles with a height the length of the side of the above triangles and the same width as the width of the front of the house. To create a more realistic roof, decorate the rectangles with a tile pattern.

Glue the rectangular roof slopes to the triangles. First, glue the rectangular and triangular roof parts together with their sides. Then glue the top sides of the rectangles (the roof ridge). You should get a large volumetric prism.

Glue the roof prism to the walls of the house. The house itself is already ready! Now you can complete the decoration by arranging the toy furniture, after which your dolls will have a great home!

Making a paper fairy house

Prepare 10-12 sheets of paper. If you don't have separate sheets, you can tear the sheets out of your notebook. Take one piece of paper and place it in water. It should get thoroughly wet.

Slowly crumple the leaf and squeeze out the water. You don't want to squeeze the sheet until it forms a hard ball, but rather a soft, pliable ball. In other words, the wet paper should have the consistency of Play-Doh. Therefore, additionally wet the sheet or squeeze water out of it until it reaches the desired consistency.

Form a stick out of a paper ball. It will look a little like a sausage. Before performing this operation, you need to wait until the paper becomes like plasticine.

Need unusual gift wrapping? Need a craft in the form architectural structure? If you like to be creative with children, you can make a cardboard house together. The execution technologies will be similar, but choose the size and design in accordance with your individual idea.

How to make a diagram

If you want to make a small cardboard house with your own hands, it is better to use ready-made template, which can be printed directly on the product sheet. It would be better to draw a blank on thick cardboard. It is easy to build a small house like a box from a whole sheet of cardboard with fold lines.

If you are going to make a large sized house for children, it is better to cut out all the parts separately, although if the size of the material allows, it is easy to make a blank in the form of a development, as for a box. The diagram is quite suitable as a sample small house. It is enough to increase the size of the constituent elements proportionally. If you have a large box of the right size, it's good to use it. Then you just need to cut out the doors, windows, possibly strengthen the structure, build a roof on top (a gable roof is more convenient) and, of course, decorate the frame.

4. Make the folds.
5. Tape the seams.
6. If inside the house there are supposed interior partitions, glue them in using a hot glue gun (hot glue can be applied to the ends of cardboard blanks) or regular glue. In the second case, it is better to use additional connecting parts in the form of strips bent in half. One edge of such a paper tape will go to the right joining wall, the other - to the left.

When the entire structure is assembled, start decorating. Internal walls, especially if the joining elements are visible, it is better to cover it with decorative paper or fabric. It is enough to paint the outer walls of the house.

The main thing is that it is appropriate, and it is important to securely fasten it so that during the game the house does not immediately lose its attractive appearance.

made of cardboard

The technology for manufacturing the frame will be similar to that already described. The only difference is that the facade wall is either not made at all, or is made to open like a door on hinges. This can be done on tapes or cardboard strips. When creating a plaything, it is important to make it in proportions suitable for the dolls, commensurate with them, so that they fit there and feel comfortable (sitting, standing).
