Little owner dollhouse definitely wants to furnish it beautiful furniture and will ask her parents to help her with this. The house must have a sofa, table, bed, chairs and other pieces of furniture. Of course you can buy them. But you can easily make it yourself, using a minimum of funds.
Approximate Dimensions
Before you think about how to make a table for dolls yourself and from what material, you need to decide on the dimensions. You need to start from the height of the doll itself and the size of the house. The interior will look beautiful if all the furniture is approximately the same scale and style.
The easiest way to make all objects proportionally the same is to calculate the scale. Need to divide by doll size average height person. You will get a number by which you will subsequently need to divide all the real sizes of the furniture to get the doll sizes.
For example, the height of a doll is 20 cm. We divide the average height of a person 175 cm by 20 cm = 8.75. The actual dimensions of human furniture must be divided by this number to obtain the dimensions of doll furniture.
On average, dolls have a size from 7.5 to 15 cm. If the doll for which this or that piece of furniture is made fits these parameters, you can use the following sizes:
Furniture for dolls made from matchboxes
This is just a godsend for creating a dollhouse environment. From them you can create great amount furniture items:
An excellent material for making a doll set is cardboard. It is very easy to cut and is glued with regular PVA or hot glue. From the old cardboard box you can make all the furniture in the house. The only drawback of cardboard- this is that without decoration and finishing on top with some kind of material, it does not look very beautiful.
Corrugated packaging cardboard will not last long, as it wrinkles quite quickly and loses its shape. It is better to use cardboard for scrapbooking or just thick cardboard.
Gluing a bed out of cardboard is quite simple. You need to cut the bed walls to the required size and connect them with glue. The back can be decorated with wrapping paper or decorated using decoupage technique.
You can make a bed without glue. The walls will be fixed using grooves cut in the walls.
Making furniture from paper
If it is not possible to buy ready-made doll furniture, you can make it from paper. How to make a chair out of paper so that it is strong and does not immediately wrinkle? Roll the paper into tubes! From newspaper tubes craftswomen have been weaving anything for a long time. Sets for dolls will be no exception. Weaving patterns can be found on the Internet. Such items will decorate the house and look very cozy. In addition, they will be quite durable if painted or coated with several layers of varnish.
For the manufacture of paper furniture you will need:
You need to roll thin tubes out of paper. This can be done using a knitting needle. They should dry well. Then the tubes need to be glued lengthwise using glue. Better to use hot gun, so the connection will be stronger and the paper will not get wet.
In this way, small blocks (walls) are glued together, which are then connected to each other. They are easy to cut into the desired pieces. For better fastening, you can use wire or thread.
Then shelves and doors are made in the same way.. The doors need to be secured with tape or wire.
The legs and arms are made from the same tubes, rolled into a roll. The edge needs to be glued with hot glue.
Plywood doll products
A doll's wardrobe for clothes can also be made from plywood. He will serve his owner for a very long time. You can connect the walls and shelves together with hot glue or PVA. A hanger bar can be made from a wooden skewer or Chinese stick. Hangers are made from straightened paper clips.
The bed, table and chairs can also be made from this durable material. Some craftsmen even carve beautiful patterns on such furniture, imitating carved furniture. It looks very nice. The plywood needs to be painted or covered with fabric.
It is better to stuff the sofa with cotton wool or foam rubber so that it takes shape, and then cover it with fabric.
The table can be made as square, and round using a jigsaw. The legs will be wooden skewers or sticks. Chairs are made using the same principle.
Cardboard box furniture
From one TV box you can make all the furniture in the house. To create it you will need:
- The box itself.
- Double sided tape.
- Scissors.
- Regular wide tape.
- Glue gun or PVA glue.
- Materials for decoration.
All furniture must be cut out, cut into the necessary parts and glued together.
Next, the most interesting process begins - finishing. Cardboard can be painted, covered with wallpaper or paper . On the front of the cabinet or dressing table you should glue a piece of foil, imitating a mirror. You need to put a tablecloth on the table, and pillows on the sofa - this will add coziness.
Be sure to involve the child himself in the decorating process. This is a great opportunity to feel like an interior designer and show your creative thinking. Anything can be used: small stones, shells, beads, rhinestones, stickers.
After finishing the design work, the arrangement of furniture in the house and filling it with details (vases, figurines) begins.
Of course, you need dishes in the kitchen. It can be cut out of cardboard, wood or molded from plasticine. How to make a bottle for dolls is a more complicated question. Here you can use bottles of drops for the eyes or nose, or ran out of perfume samples.
Cabinet made of wooden rulers
Another way to quickly create a doll closet. To make one cabinet you will need approximately six rulers. You will also need a jigsaw and PVA glue for the job..
Cut and sand the rulers to prevent splinters. Everything was glued with PVA glue. After the product has completely dried, it can be painted. For a beautiful, even color, you need to cover the cabinet first with a layer of white paint, and then with the desired color.
In the same way you can make tables, chairs, bedside tables and other furniture for dolls.
How to make furniture from clothespins
It is not necessary to use wooden ones; they can also be used plastic clothespins. They vary in size and color, but with wooden clothespins the furniture turns out more comfortable and beautiful.
To make a table or chair from clothespins, you need to separate them. Halves of clothespins are used, which are connected to each other. Connecting them in a circle, make a tabletop, legs can also be made from halves of clothespins.
The beauty of this material is that you can easily shape the clothespin into the desired shape or cut off as much as necessary. Some people make their own theater on clothespins. Templates can be found online.
Making furniture for dolls is a rather exciting process in which the whole family can be involved. Dad can do the crafting, gluing, twisting, and preparing for framing. Mom and daughter will be happy to paint furniture, decorate it, sew tablecloths, pillows and bedspreads. This is a wonderful family activity that will delight your little princess.

Children's games require a lot. In this case, you cannot do without it, which may require a lot. If the furniture in the toys does not fit in size, you can make it yourself. In particular, our master class offers step by step process making a chair out of paper.
To work you will need:
- square sheet of paper;
- scissors;
- scotch.
The final dimensions of the chair will depend on the size of the sheet. 
Stages of making a paper chair:
Fold the square in half. 
After this, the edges need to be folded towards the resulting midline. As a result, we got two more folds. 
The square sheet is divided into four parts, one of which needs to be cut off. We do this with scissors. 
Fold the resulting workpiece in half. 
We bend its right edge and form a triangular fold in the upper part. 
You also need to do the same with the left edge. 
We bend the right edge of our future chair towards the center. 
We do the same with the left edge. These will be the sides of the future high chair. 
We slightly unfold the edges and bend the central part upward. This is the seat of our chair. 
We give our blank the shape of a chair. Now all that remains is to secure the seat. To do this you will need scissors and transparent tape. We fix the seat from below (on both sides) with small strips of tape. Our paper chair is ready.
