Do-it-yourself pumpkin house: two options

The first version of the craft

This house was made by Khazipov Iskander (6 years old). Teacher - Khazipova Gulnaz Galimkhanovna, Kazan. (MADOU " Kindergarten № 174 combined type» Moskovsky district of Kazan)

Pumpkin House: Necessary Materials

Pumpkin, zucchini, rowan berries, blueberries, various sparkles, cones, dry branches, a knife, cloves, kitchen nozzles.

How to make a pumpkin house with your own hands with children

Step 1. Idea - we come up with what our pumpkin house will be like. Before you make a pumpkin house, decide how many houses will be in the composition. If everything is clear with one house, then multi-level compositions require some adjustments.

Step 2. The pumpkin should remove seeds and pulp using a knife (this is done by an adult).

Step 3 Now Mark the pumpkin with a marker in places where doors and windows will be located. Mark a window with a felt-tip pen.

Step 4. After that, proceed to cutting out details. Carved shutters and other decorative elements can be cut out using curly kitchen nozzles. It is not at all necessary to observe the accuracy and clarity of the lines (this will give the house a more gloomy look). Attach the prepared parts to the pumpkin with small carnations.

Step 5. It's time to do the roof of the house. We cut half of the zucchini and put it on top of the pumpkin and decorate with various sparkles. We spread red rowan berries on top of the pumpkin, and also put a cone (in the form of a pipe) on the roof.

Step 6 We make a composition. We put the pumpkin on the zucchini cut into rings and decorate with cones and dried blueberries.

The second option for making a pumpkin house

This pumpkin house was made for our contest by a family: Nabuhatnaya Lyubov, Nabukhatny Dmitry and their son Nabukhatny Igor (9 years old), Perm.

To make this pumpkin craft, you will need:

Natural materials:

- pumpkin,
- bark,
- cones,
- needles, leaves, grass,
- acorn hat
- pebbles
- moss,
- thin sticks.

Decorative material:

- wooden button
- lace,
- key.

Super glue for fastening all parts.

How to make a pumpkin house

Step 1. Making a house. Having cut the bottom of the pumpkin, we cleaned out all the pulp from the inside. Cut out windows and doors. The roof was made from thin pine bark, gluing pieces on top of each other. It turned out very similar to a tiled roof. A solid piece of thick bark served as the door, the handle by the door is a hat from an acorn.
Step 2. Decorating the house. To make the house cozy, you need to decorate it. Lace curtains were glued to the windows. The flower boxes were glued from cardboard and decorated with scales of pine cones. Summer is over, the flowers have faded. Therefore, in the boxes now lie around the leaves and pine needles. To the window on the second floor stretch "vine whips", we made them from green swamp grass. The carved bottom of the pumpkin served as a decoration for the back wall of the house. With a button in the middle and rays, it reminded us of a windmill. The key at the door and the steps made of sticks completed this stage in the work.
Step 3. We populate the house. The house was installed in a low box. A piece of moss became a clearing in front of the house. The rest of the surface was sprinkled with small pebbles.
At the end of the work, we dreamed for a long time who could live in our house. Maybe a gnome, or a fairy with transparent wings, or a kind old sorceress. In the end, we decided that we ourselves were ready to live in a fabulous house. Too bad it's too small for our large family.

We make a Hut on Chicken Legs with our own hands

We will show a simple scheme by which you can assemble this beautiful house for Baba Yaga. You can use other patterns, but this one is the simplest and will not cause difficulties in making either an adult or a child.

So, step by step instructions:

• We disassemble the chips and glue the house. It is best to use "liquid nails" for this;

• We make a house out of a kefir box, glue the walls themselves to create the effect of logs with large dill sticks. The hedgehog will live under stumps, which can be made from cut branches.
• We make the path leading from the house to the pond with the help of colored semolina and bean grains. We create the effect of water with the help of colored paper, pebbles - with the help of plum stones.
• We decorate the forest and the clearing with pieces of moss, dry twigs and leaves.

Photo crafts houses

A cardboard house is original and interesting, and most importantly, stylish for unusual interior.

A do-it-yourself cardboard house can play out certain functions, for example, be a real home for an animal - a cat, a dog, and sometimes even other pets.

In addition, a house can be made for a baby - children love to play where they can hide, retire with toys, and most importantly, feel like a real and only owner.

Decorative cardboard house

In order to decorate an apartment with cute houses that can imitate settlements, it is enough to stock up on the following materials:

• cardboard in different colors. You can buy a pack of plain cardboard, and then just paint it in different colors;
• paints. Even if you decide to buy multi-colored sheets of cardboard, paints will definitely come in handy for you. You can take a watercolor, it is in almost every home, in any case, where there are children;
• scissors;
• colored paper, you can also cardboard;
• glue.

How to make a cardboard house

Actions will be as follows:

• first we take paper, we make a box for a cardboard house out of it. It is better if the house is small, because you will need to make several of these. When cutting out a pattern for future crafts, it is better to turn Special attention on recesses that will be smeared with glue to fix the walls with each other;
• we remove the top of the box, which will serve as the basis for the cardboard house, and install the roof in its place. You also need to fasten it to the notches so that the product does not fall apart. If you plan to decorate the house with something else, you can fix it with a stapler, but the glue will look better, not allow the cardboard to delaminate and create gaps;
• do-it-yourself cardboard house must be installed on the base prepared paper. It should be tight so that it does not quickly wrinkle. Depending on how many houses you will have, you need to take a sheet of paper. You can select one large one, or you can stop at cut small ones. We glue the house to the base;
• we make all the other houses, after which we attach them to the base material. The colors of the houses should be arranged in the same way as the garland lamps are located (for example, if the first lamp is blue, and then red and yellow, we also place the houses). However, it is important to remember that garlands most often contain lamps that are too close to each other, so this rule may be irrelevant;
• in each house, depending on the size of the lamps and the cord, we make holes (if there is a large hole punch, this will become the best option);
• we pass the garland into each of the holes through the houses.

That's all, now you can install cardboard houses made of cardboard in a semicircular row and plug the garland into an outlet.

There will be a very beautiful glow inside. Of course, the number of windows and doors in such houses can be different, but it is better to make them multi-windowed - the glow effect will be enhanced.

Is there enough space? Of course that's enough!

And if you take, say, a box from a refrigerator, TV and microwave, the price will not be for such a cardboard house for a child.

So, it will be possible to use the highest box to create a kind of tower, in which a passage into the TV box will be cut with a clerical knife.

The kid will be given a lot of space, and most importantly, he will feel as if he is in the whole castle. A microwave box is suitable for creating a roof. What did you think?

The top of the TV box must be removed, and an L-shaped roof should be fixed in its place. And the height of the "ceilings" will be higher, and there will be more space, and the view will be more original.

By the way, the roof of a cardboard house can be finished using natural material, for which they will fit. But the walls are allowed to be pasted over with small branches - such a house will take the form of a bar, or some kind of toy forest structure.

It is better to fasten all the elements with a large stapler, since glue does not always help in the construction of such serious structures that are actively used by children, and, as you know, kids rarely remember that their “toy” can break.

It is better to either decorate the inside of the house or paste over with posters, pictures, stickers. And they will look great where doors and windows are made out.

A house made of a cardboard box will delight a child. From this material you can make a car, a palace for dolls, spaceship and much, much more.

How to make a cat house out of a box?

Probably, many cat owners have noticed that it is worth buying something new in a cardboard box into the house, as a furry pet, having sniffed it, will definitely climb inside. You can use a similar predilection of the animal by making him a cozy home according to individual project. Purchased cat houses are not cheap, but you won’t spend a single ruble on this one. In addition, such housing can be done at least every week, fortunately, there is enough material for this.

There are a lot of options here. You can build a pet shelter from a cardboard base, then glue it with colored paper, draw patterns. Children like this kind of work, so you can decorate a house for a cat or cat on your own, or with the help of a little helper. In order for the structure to stand longer, it is constructed from corrugated cardboard or glued on the outside with felt.

You will make such a spacious dwelling in 30-60 minutes. To create it, you should have at hand:

• large cardboard box;
• pencil;
• stationery or construction knife;
• white paper and glue.

Cut off the top of the box. Where there will be an entrance or window, draw with a pencil round hole. For a template, you can use a large plate, dish, or draw a figure with a compass. Now cut out the hole according to the markup.

In order for the house for a cat or for a cat to be durable, it had beautiful view, glue its corners with wide white electrical tape or paper.

Cut out a rectangle from the remnants of cardboard, also strengthen it and put it on top of the structure as a roof.

To make the cat house like the animals, it was cozy in it, lay a rug or a piece of carpet on the floor. It is better if the materials are natural and can be taken out and cleaned or washed at any time.

By creating such housing for animals, if the area allows, you can make a whole system when a cat gets from one house to another. In one house for a cat, she will eat. Then here you need to place containers for food and water. Another spacious housing will become a place for games, put your favorite animal toys, a scratching post there.

When decorating a cardboard house made with your own hands, avoid decorating it with small or sharp objects so that the cat does not swallow them and get hurt.

Speaking about how to make a house for a cat, it should be noted that the windows in it can look like real ones.

As you can see in the photo, you first need to draw a window consisting of 4 sections, then cut it out. Make the entrance according to the principle of an ordinary door for a person or a double door for an animal, as shown in the photo on the right. The roof, in this case, was constructed from blue trash bags held together with duct tape.

Here's how to make a cat house out of scrap material. Cardboard gives many more ideas that will help make housing for a doll, a springboard for a child's games, interesting do-it-yourself toys.

Given the time, material, imagination, the packaging will turn into a real palace, an Indian wigwam, an ancient castle.

In such a spacious housing, the child will play with pleasure. To make a similar house for children with your own hands, you should have:

• large cardboard box;
• masking tape;
• scissors and stationery knife;
• ruler;
• pencil.

First, mark the place where the door will be located. It should be of such a size that the child can pass freely. A ruler will help to draw it even, draw a horizontal and vertical strip with a pencil, cut along these lines.

To prevent the cardboard from tearing, where the door will bend when opening and closing, reinforce it with masking tape.

Next, creating children's house with your own hands, mark the outlines of the windows, cut them. On the second floor, make the attic window semicircular on one side, the other windows will protrude outward.

The roof is created from 4 opening parts of the top, they need to be cut a little and fastened with tape. Let the middle of the roof be uncovered for air access. You can decorate your home with accessories from the same material, for this you need to make cardboard beads or a garland on which swallows are located, as shown in the photo.

Home for a princess

It's even easier to create such a medieval castle. For it, you will need a tall cardboard box, for example, from under the refrigerator. The top of it is removed, in the same place you need to cut out small rectangles to frame the top of the walls in the desired style.

Next, a paper lock is made as follows. A rectangle is cut in place of the door so that the lower part remains in place. A tight rope is attached to its top, one end of which is passed through the right, and the other through the upper left corner. Now the rope needs to be fixed in the house itself, passing it inside through the doorway.

In such a house, you can play a fairy tale, the girl will like to be a princess who is waiting for the noble knight to free her. There are many plots, it’s good if several people are involved in the home performance.

But first you need to draw holes for the windows, cut them out, glue the inside of the walls. The outside can be decorated, as shown in the photo, using strips of colored paper.

To make intermediate floors, cut out 3 sheets of cardboard. Their width should be equal to the width of the walls to which the ceiling will be attached, and their length should be slightly more than the distance between two opposite walls, so that this sheet can be folded on both sides and glued to internal parts house.

Before attaching interfloor ceilings, glue a sheet of wrapping or colored paper, you can also use fabric for this. This doll house looks very stylish.

For the roof, a rectangular sheet of cardboard is taken, pre-decorated with colored paper or cloth. It needs to be bent in half and fastened with tape to the top of the walls.

To make such boxes for storing things or for dolls strong, measure 10 cm in height, bend the edges inward, glue them. If the container is already dense, then cut off the excess according to the markup.

The size of the canvas should be such that, bending it inward, one goes to the bottom by 2 cm.

To cover the container with a cloth, lay the canvas on a flat surface, and place the box on top. First, apply glue on one side of it in the way shown in the photo, glue it.

Then decorate the other 3 sides of the cardboard box in the same way.

6. Concerning interior decoration, here, too, do not skimp on fantasy. After the next repair in the apartment, there will always be pieces of wallpaper, fabric, oilcloth. They can also be placed inside and pasted over the dollhouse.

Scheme

For babies

Sometimes children want not to play with dolls, but to climb into a small children's house themselves and arrange their space in it. Let's give them that opportunity! Making a children's house with your own hands is also very simple. The difference will only be in size, so you will have to look for a large box from under household appliances, such as a refrigerator or washing machine.

1. Glue the sides of the box or tape them together.
2. With a clerical knife, make holes for the entrance and windows.
3. In order to have more space in the house, you can remove the top of the box and attach an L-shaped roof in its place. Thanks to this technique, the kids will feel more spacious in the house.
4. Now it remains to do the finishing. Children's house can be decorated natural materials: twigs, bars, cones, etc. You can simply paste over with paper and paint.

An ideal mount for all elements would be tape or a stapler. Glue is an unreliable material: the children's house may break during the game.

This is what the children's house looks like in the photo. Agree, the craft scheme is very simple and is unlikely to complicate loving parents.

Wood

For the New Year

New Year's house for children will differ only exterior trim. The craft scheme will be the same. To give the product a fabulous, New Year's look, cover it with sparkles, cotton wool, attach paper snowflakes.

Inside you can put a small artificial Christmas tree and decorate it, and Santa Claus with the Snow Maiden or a snowman can live in this house.

This is how the New Year's house for children will look in the photo.

You can put it under the Christmas tree or decorate a room with it.

If you want to make a small dollhouse, it is recommended to take designer cardboard or just thick paper. Cardboard from under household appliances will look rough, it will be difficult to glue it.

Windows from the inside can be imitated with adhesive tape. If you want to arrange a backlight, stock up on a flashlight, turn it on and put it inside the house. You can use a garland. Here is what such a craft for children looks like in the photo.

Crafts for children is always an opportunity for parents and kids to communicate, show their creative abilities. Let your house be the way you dream to see it!
