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 various thicknesses and textures. 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 IR on 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 down 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 acrylic paint and coated 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. Kitchen set- this is a large cabinet in the shape of the letter L (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 glued together from small items (photo 23).

Photo 24 shows our kitchen after applying paint and varnish.

On the 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.

Master class 1. How to build a house in half an hour from a cardboard box

The good thing about a cardboard dollhouse is that it can be made quickly and from scrap materials. It can be decorated very beautifully and periodically expanded - adding new rooms, floors and entire buildings.

Materials and tools:

A large cardboard box that will accommodate one to three floors for dolls 25-30 cm tall (Barbie, Monster High, Bratz, Winx, etc.).
Scissors and cutter.
Adhesive tape in a contrasting color (does not require painting) or masking tape (if you want to paint the house in the future). In this master class, bright green tape is used, and the house itself is not painted.
White paint.
Materials for decoration (if desired): scraps of wallpaper, wrapping paper, paint, brushes, etc.

Step 1: First, cut the box in half and cut off the top flaps from both halves.

Step 2. We put the resulting pieces of cardboard into action: cut them out triangular pediment roof from one part, and make a small hole in the other - this will be the second floor with access to the stairs. Next, glue the parts into place using tape and/or glue.

Step 3. From the unnecessary part of the box, cut out the slopes for the roof and another floor for the attic, and then glue the parts with tape. Don't forget to cut a hole in the attic for the stairs.

Step 4. Now we cut out the windows with a stationery knife and front door on the first floor, having previously drawn the markings. Then we cut out the stairs from the leftover cardboard and glue them to the floors.

Step 5. Hurray! The frame of the house is ready, now you can start “finishing”. In this master class, all the details from the tiles on the roof to the steps of the stairs were drawn with a white marker.

As soon as the “repairs” in the house are completed, you can begin creating furniture.

You can come up with your own own design at home - paint the house and the roof outside, paint the window frames, cover the walls with “wallpaper” made of fabric or scrapbooking paper, and finish the floor with linoleum or laminate. In the following selection of photos you can get ideas for decorating a dollhouse miniature of a house and furniture made of cardboard.

And here is an example of a cardboard house for dolls, upholstered with fabric, or rather with scraps of old dresses and pillowcases.

And finally, we suggest watching a video review of a dollhouse for Monster High dolls, made with your own hands from several large boxes.

Master class 2. How to make a doll house from a bookshelf or rack

Want to make a stronger house without fussing with plans and a jigsaw? Then use a small shelving unit or, say, an old bookcase as a base. With the help of simple steps you can turn an ordinary piece of furniture into great house for dolls

The best option for “construction” is a cabinet that is deep (25-30 cm) and has a back wall. For example, this master class uses a Billy shelving unit from Ikea with a depth of 30 cm and a height of 106 cm (pictured on the right). In such a house you can arrange three floors, quite suitable for a 25-centimeter Barbie or Monster High. The price of Billy's rack is 2000 rubles.

Materials and tools for remaking the frame:

Cabinet, chest of drawers or shelving;
Plywood, MDF or boards 25 mm thick, 30 cm wide and at least 120 cm long (these are the dimensions for Billy's cabinet, but you can take boards of shorter or longer length/width depending on the size of your cabinet);
Hardboard sheet, wall panel PVC or MDF (for making/replacing back wall and making partitions in rooms);
5x5x20cm block (the pipe will be made from it);
Several small photo frames that will become platbands for windows;
Decorative molding of small width (can be polyurethane);
Screws and screwdriver;
Wood glue or liquid nails;
Drill and drill bit.

Decoration materials:

Wood putty (not required, but recommended for masking fasteners and joints);
Primer (not necessary, but recommended for better paint durability);
Acrylic paints in desired colors;
Masking tape;
Brushes and/or spray gun;
Scissors;
Materials for cladding the walls of rooms (paper for scrapbooking is best);
Popsicle sticks for creating a lattice fence;
Material for making roof tiles.

Step 1. Painting the rack

This step is optional if you are happy with the color of the selected shelving or cabinet. For example, white or plain colored furniture will look great without painting.

If the cabinet is old or has a too “furniture” look, then it definitely needs to be repainted. To do this, we proceed according to the following scheme: sanding and sanding - primer (until drying) - a layer of paint (until drying) - a second layer of paint (until drying) - a layer of matte varnish.

In this master class, the dollhouse will not only be painted, but also decorated with brickwork. If you like this decor idea, then prepare the following additional accessories:

Cellulose sponge;
Gray paint;
Acrylic paint (our instructions use a mixture of two paints - the color of red brick and chocolate).

So, first we paint the entire rack with gray paint. As soon as last layer paint is dry, let's start creating brickwork. To do this, cut out a rectangle measuring approximately 3.5 x 8 cm from a sponge, which will become a template for painting.

Pour paint into a container, soak a sponge in it and, starting from the bottom of the cabinet, print bricks - first one row, then the second row in a checkerboard pattern. Remember to maintain approximately 5 mm gaps between bricks. Paint about 1/3 of the house this way.

Step 2. Making windows

This step is also optional, but if you want to create a realistic miniature of a house, then it is better not to skip it. In order to cut out windows, you first need to measure the window “frames” (if you have them) and draw markings on the outside of the cabinet walls.

Once the markings of all the windows are ready, you can start cutting. To do this, use a drill to make holes in the corners of the markings inside the border to create a starting point for the jigsaw blade. To make the window edges look neater from the inside, with inside The cabinet should be glued with masking tape along the contour of the marking. In the photo below you can see the work process.

To give your windows a more finished look, caulk and paint the “window niches,” remove the tape, and glue the frames to the outside of the house.

Step 3. Installation and roof decoration

In order to make a roof, you need to cut 2 boards from plywood (or other lumber) 30 cm wide, but of different lengths - 61 cm and 59 cm.

Now we join the end of the shorter board at right angles to the edge of the 61-centimeter board and drill holes again, but only at the end of the short board, passing the drill through the previously made three holes in the edge of the long board. This stage is clearly shown in the following photo.

Glue the two boards together, then secure with screws. If desired, the joint can be sealed with putty.

Next we proceed to finishing the roof. It can either be painted in 2 layers, or covered with “tiles” made from scrap materials, for example, cardboard or cork sheets. And finally, we glue 2 pieces of molding to the ends on the front side of the roof.

Step 4. Creation and installation of a pipe, installation of a roof

It's time to turn wooden block size 5x5x20 cm into the chimney. To do this, simply saw off one of its corners (45 degrees) and paint according to the principle described in Step No. 1. When the paint has dried, we attach the chimney to the roof using screws.

Well, that's all, the roof is ready, all that remains is to screw it to the cabinet in internal corners as shown in the photo.

Step 5: Replacing or installing the back wall

The next step involves equipping the rack with a wall, if there is none, replacing the existing wall with a nicer one (for example, under white lining) or simply installing the missing wall for attic floor. We carry out the following actions: we take the necessary measurements, cut out a blank from the hardboard/wall panel and attach it on the back side with nails/screws/glue.

Step 6. Install partitions to create rooms

Cut from any material (hardboard, wood, MDF, plywood) interior partitions, then cut doorways into them and install using glue or screws. Woo-ala! The dollhouse is built, you can begin the most exciting part of the work - decorating and filling the rooms with furniture.

If you add wheels to the rack, the house will turn out to be mobile

And here is an example of equipping a dollhouse with lighting, which can not only create coziness in it, but also play the role of a night light.

Master class 3. How to make a dollhouse from plywood

Making a dollhouse from plywood or wood is somewhat more difficult, but it will look better and will last so long that in the future it can even be passed on by inheritance. To create such a house you do not need to have any special skills. It is enough to have the tools, strictly follow the drawing and the following video instructions, from which you will learn how to make a dollhouse with your own hands for 25-centimeter Barbie and other dolls 25-26 cm tall.

Useful tips

Sooner or later, everyone ends up with cardboard boxes on their balcony, storage room or dacha.

Not all of these boxes should be thrown away, as you can make many interesting and even useful crafts from them.

One of these crafts is playhouse for children.

Such a house can be built and decorated together with children, who will be very interested in joining something new.

Folding cardboard house

1. Start with an empty box. Turn it on its side so that the open part is perpendicular to the floor.

2. Cut top part boxes and save it - this will later serve as half of the roof.

3. Use wide tape to secure some parts of the box.

4. Cut a piece from another cardboard that will be the second half of the roof.

5. Tape the roof halves together.

6. Connect the roof and the house and secure them with tape.

7. Make the house foldable. Place the house face down and cut the back part down the middle and bottom part house. Also cut where the bottom and back of the house meet.

8. Add tape to the places where you made the cuts. Make sure the bottom and back of the house fold in the right direction. Secure with tape the areas that you feel are loose.

DIY cardboard house with pipe and door

You will need:

Hot glue with a glue gun

Stationery knife

Scissors

Some cardboard boxes.

The large box will be the main part of the house, and small boxes will be needed for small things such as a pipe and window frames.

1. Cut off the pieces of the large box that form the lid - these will be used to create the roof.

2. Turn the box upside down. Cut out the door by making a large "L" shaped cut.

3. Cut out the squares for the windows using a utility knife.

4. Glue together 2 parts of the cut box lid. Repeat the same with the other two parts of the lid. You will get 2 halves from which you can make the roof of the house.

5. For windows, you can cut out 2 wide cardboard strips and glue them to the window. You can also cut several strips to create a window frame.

6. To glue the roof to the house, you must first connect the roof halves using small L-shaped cardboard pieces. Next, use the same parts to glue the roof to the house.

7. Now we make a small roof. You will need a sheet of cardboard of the appropriate size. Divide it in half (or just bend it) and glue it to the house in the same way as big roof, i.e. L-shaped parts.

8. You can make a window in the door and, if desired, glue a cardboard window frame to it.

9. Optional : If you want to make a pipe for a house, you will need a small box or 4 cardboard pieces of the same size, which you need to glue into a small box.

10. Mark on a small box the places that need to be cut so that the pipe will lie flat on the roof of the house. To make this easier, lean the box against the roof exactly on the side and draw lines with a pencil. Once you have glued the pipe to the roof, you can cover it with a cardboard lid and glue a cardboard toilet paper cylinder.

11. Optional: you can add a handle to the door. Use any old handle and glue it to the door. You can also make a handle from cardboard.

How to make a house out of cardboard with your own hands

You will need:

Large cardboard box

Wide tape (adhesive tape)

Stationery or construction knife

Metal ruler (to make straight cuts)

Black marker

Double-sided tape (if necessary)

Fabric for curtains (if necessary).

1. Disassemble the box and turn it inside out so that the house will later be brown and plain, and all the drawings on the boxes will be hidden.

2. To make the house larger, those parts that form the lid of the box on one side must be lifted and secured in a vertical position using tape (adhesive tape). Place the box on its side so that there is an “entrance” to the house on one side.

3.Optional: to make a diagonal roof for the house, use a stationery (or construction) knife to cut diagonally (small angle) the upper part of the future house (the part that is now at the top, after you turned the box over).

Cut triangular pieces from a cut piece of cardboard and tape the roof back to the house.

4. Cut off the lower part of the house (the floor opposite the roof), fasten it with tape if necessary, and attach it to the open part of the box (“entrance”, which was obtained in step 2).

5. Now it’s time to cut out windows and doors in the cardboard house with a stationery knife.

If you wish, you can use a marker to draw window frames, bricks and other details. You can also cut out a small handle in the door (a semi-oval at the edge of the door).

This craft will not take a lot of time and materials, and this activity will be very useful for the child.

nom. When working with paper and three-dimensional figures, spatial thinking develops, imagination and ingenuity work. Among other things, this is simply a fun activity for both adults and children.

Every girl dreams of her favorite doll living in a house. Is it worth spending huge sums of money on purchasing a doll’s home if you can easily make it with your own hands? In addition, the child will treat the toy more carefully when he himself takes part in its creation.

House project:

According to the drawing, cut out sketches of the future toy house from a cardboard box.
Cut through windows and doors. Remove unnecessary pieces of cardboard.
The joints need to be taped.
If the folds are glued together correctly, the house can be folded, and in this form it will take up very little space.
The roof of the house is made from the end parts of the box. They are fastened together with tape, and the roof can be covered with colored paper on top.
To make a second floor, you need to install an interior partition. Place a sheet of cardboard on top and secure it firmly along the edges with the walls of the house.
The staircase between floors is also cut out of cardboard.

Now the house can be decorated doll furniture or make it yourself from cardboard.

How to make a cardboard house with your own hands: step by step with pictures

Handsome and original house for Barbie can be made not only from boxes, but also from ordinary colored sheets of cardboard. Let your daughter help you create a house, do the layout and think through the decor.

For work you will need sheets of thick cardboard, colored tape, felt-tip pens and a stationery knife.

Let's get started:

Our house will not have a front wall - this makes it more convenient for a child to play with a doll if the house has several tiers.
The basis of the house are four standard sheet cardboard, which are fastened together with colored tape.
Before joining the sheets, you need to cut out the window of the future house.
Having fastened the sheets, we make the second floor. To do this, you need to connect 3-4 sheets together to make the overlap more durable.
Glue the sheets along the entire perimeter to the walls of the house using tape.
The walls of the house can be covered with wrapping paper, imitating wallpaper, and thin felt can be laid on the floor - like a warm carpet.

The child will be very interested in playing with the new acquisition and decorating the house. These skills will definitely be useful in adulthood.

If the child is already going to school, he can take his creation to an exhibition or simply show off to his classmates.

DIY cardboard house: how to decorate a doll's house

Dollhouse, like ordinary apartment, requires comfort. To make your home more comfortable, you need to put wallpaper on the walls - made from colored paper, packaging wrapper or simple glossy magazines. You can hang curtains on the windows; you probably have a piece of unnecessary fabric. To attach them, use pushpins or a stapler.

Like any apartment, the house should not be empty. Your favorite doll also needs furniture. From the boxes you can build a voluminous sofa, a wardrobe or bookcase, a table and chairs. They can be painted with watercolors or pasted over with appliqués.

The floor can be covered with felt, which is attached to the box using glue gun. Now the Barbie doll can walk on the floor barefoot.

To make the house light and cozy, you can hang LED garlands along the walls.

Around the house you can place decorative flowers in pots and build a fence from plastic bottles. However, this option is acceptable if space in the nursery allows.

Let your child decorate the house himself, as your tastes may differ. Entrust this work to your baby, let him develop his imagination!

Step-by-step master class: how to make a cardboard house for a cat

If you have a tailed, mustachioed animal living at home, you know how cats love to hide - they jump into a stroller, climb into boxes or onto shelves. You can make a house out of a box and your pet will have a personal apartment that no one will claim.

Cardboard cat box - original and interesting idea, but, alas, such a house will quickly fall into disrepair. Cardboard is afraid of water, so it cannot be washed. If your pet confuses the house with the litter box, the cat's apartment will have to be thrown away.

In addition, cats love to sharpen their claws, and this can also damage the house.

Despite the disadvantages, this option is the cheapest and fastest to implement.

Building a cat house:

You need to choose a box in which your cat will not feel cramped. Cats love space and enjoy visibility, so you shouldn't place the box in the farthest corner of the room.
You need to lay a rug or a pillow on the floor.
You can cover the outside of the house with old wallpaper so that the cat’s home does not disturb the interior of the “human” room.

When the house is ready, invite the cat to explore it. Let him get used to the new thing, study it. There is no need to force the cat to immediately climb inside, this may only scare him away.

How to make a house out of cardboard (video)

If you have imagination and love to tinker, you will be able to make toy house from cardboard. This gift will appeal to both babies and older children. Even an adult girl will appreciate such a gift, because very often you want to return to a carefree childhood and play with Barbie dolls again.

Need unusual gift wrapping? Need a craft in the form architectural structure? If you like to do creative things 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.

Beautiful houses: options and ideas

A cardboard house can be made in the following options:

A play structure for children of such a size that they can go inside (an alternative to expensive plastic complexes).
Small architectural form for dolls with a removable or missing front wall and a detailed room interior.
Crafts on a New Year theme, for example, Santa Claus's house.
Gift box of unusual shape.

As you can see, there are several possibilities. Choose suitable option. Make children's play more interesting and educational using accessible means.

What you need

To make a house from you need to prepare the following:

Cardboard (corrugated for frame, decorative for decoration).
Part templates, diagrams and developments.
Pencil.
Ruler.
Eraser.
Scissors.
Glue or heat gun.
for registration.
Textile.
Paints.
Brushes.
Markers.
Suitable decoration elements (pebbles, flowers, beads, seed beads).

The set and quantity of materials will depend on what kind of house you will be making and for what purpose. A growth structure requires a strong frame, and thin cardboard or thick paper is also suitable for packaging. The packaging design can be completely designed on a computer or a ready-made template can be printed. Big house you'll have to do it by hand.

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.

Manufacturing technology

This section contains the general sequence of steps. Each specific case will have its own nuances. So, to make a cardboard house with your own hands, work as follows:

Prepare the base material and draw on it a diagram of the house or its component parts.
Cut out the elements.
If there are fold lines on the workpieces, draw along them with the corner of a ruler or other similar object. So, you will make grooves that will help you fold the thick cardboard evenly and neatly along the line.
Make the folds.
Tape the seams.
If interior partitions are supposed to be inside the house, glue them in using a heat 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.

Although you can lay out the lower part from pebbles or appliqué elements (paper parts). In a word, arrange all the decor at your discretion. 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).

Particular attention is paid to the organization and design of the internal space. Be sure to create several partition walls between rooms. They will also play a role load-bearing structure. It is important to make furniture (or place purchased doll furniture). Pay attention to the wall decoration. If you think through everything properly, the house will turn out to be very realistic, and the design process itself will turn into an interesting activity for young craftswomen.

New Year's houses made of cardboard

This option will have some features. If you are just creating a craft for a competition or interior decoration, it is enough to make it using a cardboard box. Such a product may not be opening, but the design (windows, doors) will be drawn or made in the form of an appliqué.

If you want to make gift wrapping like a cardboard house, the design of the product should be such that there is an opening part. It should be convenient to remove the contents of the gift, and the packaging should not be deformed. The roof of the house box can be removed, one of the roof slopes can be opened, and the base can be removed or moved.

So, you can make a beautiful cardboard house with your own hands both for play purposes in a natural size that is comfortable for a child, and as a souvenir gift (packaging or doll house).
