Unfortunately, these gizmos are either insanely expensive, or they are not available at all! But you can find a way out of any unpleasant situation, there is it now - and it’s very interesting and fascinating. After all, you can independently create miniatures for dolls with your own hands - anything, from food to furniture.
In the modern world, the popularity of such products is growing rapidly. They use completely different materials: cardboard, salt dough, polymer clay sets, epoxy, cork, wire, fabric, lace, beads and much more. You can create everything you see around as miniatures for dolls with your own hands - a house, a tree, furniture, flowers, food, and more.
Cardboard items for dollhouse
All mothers know that dolls are the best friend for their beloved daughter. So, you need to direct all your imagination and skill into this direction and create amazing housing for her to the envy of all friends! It is clear that you can’t do without furniture.
There are many options for building tiny furniture from thick cardboard and cardboard (matchboxes). Try 2 of them.
For the simplest way to make a doll dresser, you will need to prepare:
- 6 boxes of matches;
- double sided tape;
- 4 beads for chest legs;
- 6 beads for pens;
- colored paper or several napkins for decoration.
So, we make a chest of drawers for dolls with our own hands. Master class - further.
The first step of the work will be joining with tape or with glue boxes of 3 pieces on top of each other in 2 rows so that the boxes can extend. Glue the bottom legs in the corners of the beads.
The frame is ready, now let's decorate it. To do this, take colored paper and gently glue it to the entire surface. Above, using decoupage technique, you can glue napkins with a pattern or guipure.
And to create a beautiful open stand for a TV or an aquarium, take:
- thick cardboard;
- self-adhesive film with a "wooden" pattern;
- glue gun.
First cut out the parts shown below from cardboard.
Paste them with foil. Now connect to each other with a thermal gun.
That’s it, it’s done!
Plywood table
And how to make a miniature for dolls with your own hands in a more serious way? Try to make a table. We have it round, but you can adjust the template and make your changes.
Will be needed:
- trimming thin plywood;
- file for cutting;
- Crystal Moment;
- paint;
- clear nail polish.
Cut 2 circles from plywood - a tabletop and a lower shelf, legs and racks. Then color each part. Fasten to each other, let the glue dry and apply varnish.
Miniatures for landscaping the house
You have an idea about how to make furniture, but a house without indoor plants will be completely uncomfortable. Therefore, you just need a green plant miniature for dolls! With your own hands, try to create a very interesting composition from an artificial plant.
Prepare materials such as:
- a tiny container for a flower pot, such as a perfume lid;
- polystyrene crumb;
- narrow leaves from a plastic flower;
- glue ("Crystal Moment" is best suited);
- sand;
- yellow nail polish.
All the edges of the leaves on the edges are painted and dried. Dip the tip into the glue and fix it in the "pot-cap", pressing with foam. Carefully coat this filling with glue and sprinkle with sand without leaving gaps. We leave to dry for half an hour and pour the excess. So the indoor flower for the chrysalis is ready!
Using this method, you can make a ton of beautiful flower arrangements for your baby’s doll house.
Fish for dolls
And what is a house without a pet? Let's make some more effort and make an aquarium miniature for a doll with our own hands! It will be a goldfish in clear "water." Of course, you have to spend a little money and tinker, but the result is worth it.
Get:
- polymer clay of green, yellow and orange colors;
- epoxy resin;
- Super glue.
You will also need a small glass jar, some sand and 2 black beads.
It is necessary to mold a small fish of yellow and orange clay. To do this, from yellow clay, form an egg-like detail. With the tip of a knife, draw scales and make indentations for the eyes. Now roll the orange clay and cut out 2 fins and a tail. Fasten everything with glue. Put in the oven for drying. Glue the bead eyes. Make green algae from green clay.
Now pour sand into the jar, stick algae into it and pour 6 mm of prepared epoxy resin according to the instructions. Leave to dry. After 3 to 4 hours, add another layer of 6 mm epoxy. After this layer has hardened, place a fish in a jar, then add resin in layers until the "aquarium" is filled. Immediately a large volume cannot be poured, since the resin does not harden.
What do doll houses look like?
In this way, with the help of imagination, patience and, of course, inspiration, you can create miniatures for Barbie dolls with your own hands.
