How to make a house out of paper

Materials and tools:

• scheme
• cardboard (white and colored)
• colored paper
• gift paper
• paints
• scissors
• pencil

Decorative elements:

• tapes
• beads
• artificial flowers
• bumps
• berries
• twigs
• moss, etc.

1. First, let's choose a diagram for the future house

The template you like can be printed on a printer or simply carefully, without pressing, transferred through the monitor screen onto thin paper, having first enlarged the picture to the desired size. The template thus obtained is cut out, placed on cardboard for the future house and completely outlined in pencil. After the diagram is drawn, it should be carefully cut out and prepared for gluing. To do this, you need to run the blunt side of the scissors along the fold line of the walls so that the cardboard bends easily and cut out doors and windows. If you have never made a paper house before, we advise you not to get fancy with complex diagrams and small details, but to choose an option that is easier to implement. Your paper house design, which is simple and clear, has every chance of turning out beautiful and original the first time. Some types of schemes for paper houses are presented below.

2. Cut out doors and windows

Doors can be opening if the opening is not completely or completely arched. It’s the same with windows: the shutters in them can open, or the window will be designed without shutters. The finished window made of colored cardboard can be glued separately to the wall of the house without cutting out the opening. Here everything will depend on the scheme that you chose or made amendments to the design of the house at your own discretion. After all the necessary parts are cut out, you can glue the house together, giving it a square shape.

3. We make the roof

The roof is glued separately. It is cut out of white or colored cardboard, folded in half and attached to the walls of the house. You can decorate it first: draw tiles or make it from separate strips of colored paper and cover it with velvet paper. If the design provides for a pipe, then it is also cut out, folded along the bends and glued to the roof. You can attach smoke to the pipe. To do this, draw a wavy smoke on cardboard, cut it out and glue it at the base to the inside of the pipe.

4. Making a stand

The finished house can be glued to any stand made of cardboard, wood or plastic, having previously cut it to the size of the house and decorated with a fence made of strips of colored cardboard, grass made of green paper, dried flowers, berries, leaves, moss. You can attach a twig to the stand using plasticine, and hang beads on it and glue flowers. The result will be a very elegant version of a summer house.

5. Decorating the house

We bring the house, already finished and mounted on a stand, to the final stage. To do this, we decorate and decorate the walls, windows, roof and base of the house. If this is a New Year's option, then the roof with the chimney can be covered with snow - foam crumbs, having previously spread the sprinkling areas with glue, covered with cotton wool, painted with white paint, depicted as snowflakes, and made snow-covered windows. Decorate the house itself with colored tinsel and beads, attach a paper silhouette of a snowman and a Christmas tree nearby. You can use ready-made pictures for decoration or cut out figures from gift paper.

The Halloween house is made of dark cardboard, with the addition of silhouettes of ghosts and bats. Windows can be made from bright yellow or orange paper, creating the effect of light in the house. You can glue trees and a cardboard fence on a stand nearby, and place a black cat on the fence. You can be sure that your child will help you cut out creepy characters from paper for a fun holiday with great interest and enthusiasm!

Do it yourself - in the material you will find templates and simple step-by-step instructions with photos.

To make a toy house out of cardboard with your own hands you will need:

How to make a toy house out of cardboard for children with your own hands. Step-by-step instructions with photos

To get started, print or draw and cut out the parts according to the template. Two walls with a projection for the roof, two walls without, two parts for the roof and one door.

Then trace the details onto the fabric. Leaving an allowance of 1-1.5 centimeters. Cut out the pieces. Cut the corners as shown in the photo.

Fold the fabric around the perimeter and glue it to the cardboard parts.

To make windows in a cardboard house, cut the fabric with the letter X where the windows are located on the cardboard piece, wrap the resulting scraps inside and glue them.

When all the parts of the cardboard house are completely ready, glue them together, as shown in the photo.

How to make a paper house for games and activities with children? Let's consider several options for making towers that an older preschooler can master. Such houses can be used as Christmas tree decorations, candle holders for electric candles, storage for stationery, housing for dolls, and decorations for theatrical productions.

House on a suspension

For Christmas tree decorations, choose the brightest multi-colored paper (sold in handicraft stores). Draw the details of the house from paper (you can create the diagrams yourself, download, print and cut them out). You should get two identical parts of the facade with a window and the back of the tower, 2 sidewalls, 2 roof halves, one foundation part.

Draw the paper details onto cardboard and cut them out with a utility knife. Cover each piece with special paper (if such material is not available, then colored cotton scraps will do). Glue all the parts together. Attach a loop with a bow to the roof.

The house can be glued together from ordinary self-adhesive colored paper and decorated with snowflakes. You can use pure white cardboard, which you paint with gouache and varnish. To make the mansion interesting, decorate the roof with tiles.

To do this, cut strips with a zigzag edge and bend it with scissors. Glue it to the slope of the house. This results in a voluminous roof. A preschooler can make such a tower from individual parts. Decorate the joints of the parts with a strip of paper.

How to make a house out of paper and cardboard

Preschoolers will build a house out of boxes even faster. The more boxes, the more floors. Cover the foundation box on all sides with colored paper. Mark the window with a pencil, cut out or glue an applique window with curtains and sashes.

Bend the long cardboard in half and glue it to the box. If there is no such sheet, take two parts and glue them crosswise with tape. Next, measure the triangles to the size of the roof, cut and glue. Decorate all joints with strips of colored paper. Glue the pipe on top. The result was some interesting paper crafts.

A cardboard house can be used as storage for office supplies or small parts. You can also make it as a birthday gift. To do this, instead of the window, glue a joint photo with the birthday boy. Glue the house to a long cardboard, which will be a vegetable garden with a fence made of paper strips (this will be a fence). Glue voluminous paper flowers onto the garden. This will make an extraordinary gift.

If you cover boxes of different sizes, you can make a whole city for educational games to learn road rules.

Whole houses made of paper

The tower diagrams can be one-piece, that is, you draw all the details, bend them and glue them. For such purposes, you need thick office paper or cardboard. Print out the diagram on a printer, use a utility knife to cut out windows, doors, and patterns.

Redraw the paper layout onto cardboard. Hold it with a ruler and cut all the holes with a knife. Bend the walls, roof, and doors (use a metal ruler to follow the folds so that the house stands stable).

Decorate the outer side with sequins, colored patterns, appliqué or paint, and glue a bead handle to the door. Glue the house together with glue or double-sided tape. Place it on a rectangular cardboard foundation, which you will “plant” with voluminous flowers, trees, and fence it off.

Using this scheme, you can make a small house, a castle, a fortress, a mansion. Such buildings are suitable for role-playing games and theatrical performances. In the latter option, you can make a large house out of paper with your own hands.

House for children

For these purposes, you will need cardboard from under the refrigerator and furniture. The easiest way to make a house that is suitable for schoolchildren is to fasten it with ropes and tape.

Take the cardboard, now fold it into four parts, bend all sides. You can use separate sheets and then staple them together, but solid cardboard is more convenient.

Bonding can occur in any way using glue, masking tape, threads (make punctures, pull the thread through and tie it in a knot). Mark the doors and windows with a marker and cut them out with scissors or a utility knife.

The voluminous paper house is almost ready. Use another cardboard to make a roof. If there is no long sheet, then secure the two halves with masking tape. The roof and walls are also secured with thread or glue. Now paint the house outside, wallpaper the inside, and attach curtains. That's it, you can play.

Adults can make special templates from cardboard that they use to create little paper houses. Then the structure will be prefabricated, and the tower will be stronger.

Housing for dolls

How to make a house out of paper for small baby dolls, Barbies and other dolls? You will need boxes of the same size for large household appliances or sheets of cardboard. In the first case, the building is built quickly: it is enough to cover the boxes with fabric or wallpaper and glue them together. In the second option, you need to make the boxes yourself.

First, build the walls of the house, determining the number of floors. If you have large boxes, then simply glue cardboard sheets that divide the rooms. Pay attention to the weight of the dolls (for large dolls, use a separate box for each floor). You build the roof in the usual way: bend the sheet in half, cut out a triangle and glue it.

If you have experience in building paper houses, then you can immediately paint the boxes on the outside, cover them with wallpaper, oilcloth on the inside, screw in wiring and chandeliers. Otherwise, you build a house and then do the decoration work.

Such a dwelling is made either in a side section, or without a roof, so that the child has open access to all rooms. For theatrical productions, the tower can also be made with three walls.

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).
• A small architectural form for dolls with a removable or missing front wall and a detailed interior of the rooms.
• 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 the appropriate 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. A large house will have to be made 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 a ready-made template that can be printed directly on a sheet for the product. 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 of a small house is also quite suitable as a sample. 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:

1. Prepare the base material and draw on it a diagram of the house or its component parts.
2. Cut out the elements.
3. 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.
4. Make the folds.
5. Tape the seams.
6. If there are going to be interior partitions inside the house, 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. It is better to cover internal walls, especially if the joining elements are visible, 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 serve as a supporting 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).
