Give or make a home for her dolls for her daughter - it's just the beginning. Next, this house will have to furnish. It is a bunch of toy furniture, techniques, accessories. On how to make furniture for dolls will be told in this article.

How to determine the size

Dolls, their houses and furnishings are reduced copies of us and our dwellings. And the most reliable way to make doll furniture with your own hands and not mistaken - measure the real items, reduce them several times, and then work with the obtained values.

Furniture for dolls - copies of our furniture

How much to reduce real sizes depends on how small or a great doll is, because they are from 7 cm to 60 cm or even higher. Accordingly, the furniture for them needs different sizes. To determine the number to which real dimensions should be divided, the average human growth in centimeters (170 cm) is divided to the height of the doll. We get some kind of number. Here on it and it will be necessary to divide the size of real furniture.

For example, the height of the doll is 15 cm. Calculate: 170 cm / 15 cm \u003d 11.3. That is the number and divide all the parameters of "human" furniture. It is still worth saying that it is 14-15 cm that is the most popular size among the doll population. Therefore, most of the finished furniture is made in a ratio of 1:12. It is possible for us to use existing dimensions at least in order to be oriented with the scale of the required parts and the number of materials.

So, the most common sizes of dolls:

• doll-man 150 mm;
• doll-Woman - 140 mm;
• doll-child - 75-100 mm;
• toy baby - 65-75 mm.

If you need furniture for dolls of such sizes, its parameters will be such:

If you have more toys more / less, you can not adjust the dimensions. With a great difference, you will have to increase or decrease (and you can count on your own).

Doll Furniture made of match boxes

The easiest way to do furniture for dolls do it yourself from ordinary match boxes. They are glued with the help of PVA glue, creating certain structures, then glued with paper or cloth, self-adhesive film, etc. You can use wooden beads as legs, drawers for drawers from small butt on legs or from long beads.

From match boxes you can make chairs, table, chest of drawers, bed, bedside table. Another thing is that the furniture is obtained for very small dolls, no more than 10 cm high. Although, you can use a larger number of boxes, gluing them into blocks, and from these blocks to create furniture for dolls with a height of about 15 cm. Also, but to work with others Materials are not much more complicated, and they are more plastic and allow you to create products of more elegant forms.

This may be your first experience in making doll furniture. Later it will be possible to take on something more serious.

Furniture for a doll house of cardboard

You can try your hand in the manufacture of furniture for dolls using cardboard. The material is inexpensive, affordable, it will be possible to try and mistake, redo. Cardboard usually connect with the help of PVA glue, you can use a glue gun or any universal glue that can glue cardboard, fabric, wood. Just making furniture for dolls with your hands from cardboard, you will also use these materials. If we talk about convenience, it is preferable to the adhesive gun - glitter quickly, it is convenient to work comfortably, the connection is reliable.

To make furniture for dolls, you can use the usual packing cardboard. He is cheap, but the furniture from it turns out very tender. It is unlikely that the child is enough for a long time. But, as "first experience", this a good option. More reliable obtained products from cardboard for scrapbooking. It is a tight, uniform, has a different thickness (from 2 mm and more), may be with a textured surface, extruded by one-photon patterns, a pattern with one or both of both sides. The lack of such cardboard is to buy it, and some types of such cardboard are not too cheap.

Cardboard Bed for Dolls

This bed for dolls from cardboard is designed for a large doll - up to 50 cm of height. If necessary, all specified dimensions can be reduced.

This option can be made literally for 10-20 minutes. It does not need glue or other clamps. Details are kept due to grooves cut in cardboard. The width of the groove is equal to the thickness of the cardboard, the length of the slots and the size of the blanks are listed on the diagram.

Green and yellow dots indicate the combined cuts. They are inserted alone in another, on what the assembly ends. If you like this model, it can be done from plywood.

Schemes for the manufacture of cardboard doll furniture

Basically, furniture for dolls from cardboard is glued. To make something openwork from this material or very complicated is unlikely to succeed, but the manufacture of simple models does not take much time. Having a diagram with dimensions, you can even do without explanation. Everything is so clear.

Such models can be done on the eye. Without a "upholstery" they look unsightly, but after quite a decent bedside table with doors and open shelf - scheme one, different execution

Furniture schemes for dolls can be used not only for making cardboard. They can be transferred to the paneur and cut with a jigsaw.

Cabinet for dolls of girlfriend

The toy cabinet can be made of plywood, paint or envelop wrapping paper or self-adhesive film. There, probably, the questions will not arise - everything is clear, and if there are questions, you can look at their solution in the "natural" closet. But you can make it from all inexpensive materials. Furniture for dolls with your own hands and good that the cost of it is very small.

From a cardboard box

The main task is to find a box of dense cardboard suitable size. Moreover, it will be easier to work if it is packaging - with rejuvenable edges. Such a bending part is the finished door. It will only be necessary to finish it - hang the mirror, attach the handle, etc.

One of the options for homemade furniture la dolls - wardrobe

What is needed for work

It will take good tape for work, better - on a paper basis, as it is then easier to glue the finish. If there is a glue gun or construction (a large stationery fit) stapler with brackets is also not bad. If, in addition to cardboard and paper, you will also use other materials, the glue is better to find the universal, which glue paper, cardboard, fabric, plastic. We still need scissors and a stationery knife, a ruler.

If the box found is too big, it can be reduced, cutting off unnecessary. So that the bends were smooth, take a ruler. We apply to the place of the future fold, several times we go along the lineup of a stupid solid object (with a snap or fork). After that, the cardboard bend will be easy.

Filling for a toy cabinet

From trimming or from another box, cut the shelves. They should be a little - by 5-8 mm - longer and wider inner cabinet space. Surplus bend so that sides are formed from all sides. In the corners, folds are formed, they are gently cut off. One of the parts bending 180 ° and glue to the shelf itself. This side of the shelf will "look into the world." Three other parts bend at an angle of 90 °, we wash the glue and the shelves insert into the closet. In the photo on the right you can see how the shelves are glued. But that the places of attachments do not get into the eyes, the sides are better to wrap down.

Make furniture for dolls with your own hands - it's no less pleasure than playing with her

In addition to the shelves, you can still make a crossbar for hangers. It can be made from bamboo speakers, for example, you can try to use a tube for juices, a wire, etc. Hangers can also be twisted from color wire or cut from bags from juice, from plastic bottles etc.

Finish - creative process

Next, it's a finish. You can paint the cardboard with watercolor or acrylic (better) paints, shove the wrapping paper, cloth, felt. You can simulate a mirror surface - to attach foil (food, for example). If you want to make a "plastic" surface, look for bottles from under the water of the desired color, cut off the neck and bottom, and the "body" use as a finishing material.

Finishing - the process is creative, but, first, use the materials simpler, softer, feel easier to work with them

Handles can be made of wire, from beads, long beads. For toy larger cabinets, you can find buttons or buttons. All this "beauty" adhesive after "washing" the cabinet.

Warding Doll Cabinet Newspapers

We need old newspapers, PVA glue with a tassel, a glue gun, a couple of wires or threads, wrapping paper for trim and paint.

From the newspapers twist the dense tubes, we wash them along the edge of the PVA and leave up to dry. Then the tubes can be glued together. For this operation better suitable Adhesive pistol. There are two ways: first collect large blocks, then chop them into fragments of the desired length or immediately cut the tubes of the desired length and glue immediately blanks in size. The second path is more painting, but the waste is less.

The finished walls of the cabinet should be copped with each other. To rigidly fix the angle of 90 ° better to use a thin wire. First, wash the joints with glue, then put the walls one to another. If the wires interfere, they can be removed after drying the glue.

For the same technology, the bottom, the top, shelves are glued. Doors will need to do a little differently. So that they open up, two strips of about 1.5 cm wide from the scotch. On the edge of the door, the tape is sampled so that a little more than half hung in the air. With this free tape, we glue the door to the wall, but so that between the wall and the door there was a clearance of 2-3 mm (just tape). This will give the opportunity to close the doors. The glued door is fixed on the other side of the second scotch band.

The second way to fasten the doors - on wire. Only this time it should be tough and thick enough. Cut a piece that is 2 cm longer than the height of the cabinet. Immediately on the wire on the one hand, we make a loop using 1 cm. The loop is bending at an angle of 90 ° to the wire. Make a hole in the bottom and roof, we skip the wire through the bottom, the loop remains downstairs. We wear the door on the wire using the extreme tube instead of hinges. Slightly flexing the wire, we produce it into the hole in the roof of the cabinet, bending the surplus, fixing the door. We repeat the same operation with another door. Please note the door to the tape is needed to finish the cabinet, and on the wire - it is possible after.

There are some little things that need to say a few words. The legs and handles for the cabinet can also be made of paper tubes. Just twisted them from the paper that you finish the toy. Cutting it into a dense roller, the edge is glued with glue, then cut on the segments of the desired length and stick to the right places. Instead of the tubes there may be wooden sticks, beads, etc.

Puppet Bookcase or Lines Shelf

You can make furniture for dolls with your own hands from school wooden lines. They are good for those already processed, have the same width and thickness. In the stationery store you can find the desired size - more / less, wider / already - at will. For example, for the manufacture of a puppet bookcase, you need 6 lines of 15 cm long.

Still, you will need a jigsaw. If there is an electric - excellent, if not, is suitable and manual, as it is not too much work. We also need emery paper with small grain, glue (PVA or carpentry) and paint (acrylic or gouache).

From the line, cut segments: 4 pieces of 6 cm, one - 8 cm. The edges sand up to an even state, remove the markup and bar codes. Between the two line, we have the shelves (which are 6 cm), we leave the same distance from above the same distance - under the cover (segment of 8 cm). The joints are missing the PVA liner or carpentry, we connect and tighten with a painting tape, we leave for a day. When the glue is dry, we glue the latest item - the lid on top. Actually, the shelf itself is ready, it remains to paint it.

To obtain a smooth and bright color, the design is better covered with white, after drying it is already painted with the desired tint. Also made with your own hands, doll furniture can be decorated in.

Furniture for dolls: photo ideas

You can make furniture for dolls with your own hands from the most unexpected materials. How to use newspapers and wooden rules you have already seen. But you can make tables, chairs, chairs, sofas, beds, shelves, cabinets, etc. From sticks for ice cream.

Garden bench or sofa - depending on the finish

What is good for this material, you probably have already understood - it has rounded treated edges, the same in size and well-processed. If the sticks seem too rough, milk them to smoothness with the help of sandpaper with small grain.

From the clothespins, quite good chairs and chairs are obtained. They are disassembled on halves and are connected using joinery glue. Figure products are obtained by almost several dozen minutes.

Armchair, table - also you can make clothespins

Almost always for the manufacture of doll furniture use wooden clothespins. But no one forbids to take plastic. It is also difficult to work with them just the difficulty in the fact that the wooden is easier to refine, changing the thickness of the form, etc. If the product is simple, refinement does not require, you can also take plastic. They are more diverse in shape and sizes, already painted, so there is less than one with them.

With an increase in skill, you can go to a more complex material - a fane or wood. The complexity is that the outtage and cutting of miniature parts requires filigree accuracy, perfection and takes away the mass of time. But you can do everything you wish.

In addition, I think that after purchasing the necessary skills, experience and your own developments, you can try to organize a piece of furniture manufacturing from cardboard.

You will need the source material, that is, an ordinary packaging cardboard. If you recently bought household appliances Or furniture and have not thrown boxes yet - let them in the case. If at home did not find anything suitable, walk to the nearest store and ask to give you a packaging container.

Types of cardon

In the manufacture of furniture from cardboard, a packing cardboard is used, which can be found in furniture stores, electrical appliances, in autogaras.
The thickness of the cardboard plays a big role, which is measured by layers. Cardboard layer are small waves from which it consists. As a rule, the more such layers, the stronger the cardboard. Depending on the type of furniture and / or part of the model in the manufacture of furniture, one-, two and three-layer cardboard are used.

Single-layer cardboard is most often used to fill the inner walls of models with rounded, curves; To fill the inner walls of models with straight lines, it is preferable to use two or three-layer cardboard. Also, the cardboard is a darker color usually more durable than light.

The front side of the cardboard is smoother, on which you can meet the inscriptions, the exhaust is less smooth.

It is very important to take into account the direction of "waves" of cardboard, the strength of the furniture depends on this. Usually, when duplicating the walls of furniture (consists of two glued identical parts), the first "cuts out" on the cardboard, where the layers (waves) are directed vertically, the second, on the contrary, where the layers go horizontally.

In the manufacture of furniture you will be useful to any cardboard. As a rule, it is measured by layers (these are small waves that can be seen on the cut): the more layers, the stronger the cardboard. You can meet one-, two- and three-layer cardboard: one-layer is most often used to fill the inner walls of objects with rounded, curves; Two-layer and three-layer - to fill the inner walls of items with straight lines. Cardboard has a facial (smoother on which the inscriptions are applied) side and the wrong (less smooth).

Kraft Paper (Papier Kraft)

Kraft paper brown color Used only outside the furniture. It sticks with glue for wallpaper on the finished shape (furniture). It must be broken, and in no case do not cut with scissors. This processing is needed in order to make the surface smoother, prepare it for further salary decorative paper.

At first, the Kraft paper serves to puncture all the edges and seams of furniture, then the entire area of \u200b\u200bfurniture.

White craft paper is used to envelop the entire surface of the furniture, when the subsequent decor is made in light tones of fine, transparent paper. If you do not have a white craft, you can use dark and then covered with one layer of white actultural paint).

P.S. Some replace the craft paper on the traction (paper for grids), it is also thin and cheaper (it is also necessary to tear, and not cut), but for the crossing of the angles, protective tape (sold by a roll), which glues a wet sponge.

Cutting cardboard

For cutting of cardboard, you can use the jigsaw (the simplest model with blades for cutting metal). Its use saves time and results in more clear forms, TC, at a time, you can cut several layers of cardboard (facade, internal and rear walls, after biting them with paper scotch). Using the jigsaw, do not try to challenge the form at a time, it is better to bring the line to the corner, take the jigsaw and cut to cut, taking a little away from the corner. The remaining corners are then cutting with a cutting knife.

When using a cutting knife (CATER) so that the lines are clear, you need to take a heavy metal line, which is put on the cut line and are carried out with a knife.

Furniture shape and size

When you make a drawing of your furniture, consider not only the harmony of forms, but also their balance. It is very important. Furniture, with a large protrusion, not proportional to it, will not be stable. In case of symmetric furniture, you can draw only half of the model, the second half of which will only be transferred to cardboard. It is also no need to forget about the proportions of the depth and width of future furniture, and, of course, about its use.

The furniture consists of at least 3-elements: the facade, the rear wall and one or more internal elements. Internal elements are parts of the cardboard on which scubons are put in which the transverse parts are then inserted, which make up the skeleton of furniture. Their number depends on the depth of the furniture, as well as on the desired stability of furniture, depending on its forms, nr curved or with different levels of depth. Furniture, a depth of 30 cm, just one inner element.

It is also necessary to think about the future use of your furniture, in order to determine its structure: the furniture on which the alarm clock or TV is strengthened in different ways. All this affects the quantity and location of scubons on the inner element of furniture. Also at the time of designing furniture, you must always keep 0.6 cm. "Clothes" of furniture (crackle-paper and decorative paper), which will be added to the end of your furniture.

Where to begin?

It is not necessary to immediately take for a closet of a complex shape or a chest of drawers with many boxes and shelves, you need to start with something small to understand the technology, understand the details and do not overcome in the middle of the way. You can use ready-made patterns from books or from sites, and you can come up with something. It will be very interesting to try their forces on furniture for children, for example, a small table or shelf, or tobabere. If you attract a child to this lesson - new furniture It will become the most beloved, because it will be done with my mother or dad. In addition, it is light and safe, and when decorating your baby will finally paint the table or a chair, without fearing to spoil furniture.

To make a small table, you need to carve two parts from a solid cardboard in the form of a future tabletop (a regular rectangle, a circle, oval or something else) and cutting the cardboard strips of a width equal to the desired table top thick (about 7-10 cm). Then, one of the surfaces apply hot glue and stick the cardboard strips folded by a harmonic edge to the base. The more you stick strips, the more durable will be your table.

As a result of this operation, you will get a kind of cellular surface. Cover it the second part of the table top and glue. Then take the sides of the cardboard strips, and to get smooth edges, take the edges of the basics of paper.

Is the familiar cardboard suitable for furniture production? Is it possible to make high-quality chairs, stools, tables, bedside tables and other elements, without which it is difficult to imagine a modern home.

On the one hand, everyone knows that cardboard is mechanically not too stable material, so rarely who represents that the furniture from it will be strong and reliable.

But this is a fact, from the cardboard it is quite possible to make not only lockers and beds for dolls, but also chairs that will easily withstand the weight of an adult.

Such interior items will serve for a long time, they are safe in environmental terms. But most importantly dignity in the other: cardboard furniture can create each, implementing the most courageous fantasies.

How and from what makes cardboard furniture yourself?

For the manufacture of furniture use corrugated cardboard. This is a product that consists of alternating layers of smooth and wavy paper glued together. In the lower and upper part of such a cardboard - ordinary paper. His strength depends on the quality of paper, and on the number of layers (from one layer and more, usually up to seven).

What corrugated cardboard pick up for some furniture? The less load, the less layers. For lampshar, a single-layer, for a bookcase - preferably a five-layer one.

It should be remembered that the cardboard has the front side and wrong. White products are considered better, light brown - less, although this rule does not always work.
