The current toy industry is truly amazing in its variety of products. Indeed, modern children have access to what their parents did not even dream of in their distant childhood.
Relevance
Plush animals, dolls of various sizes, houses, furniture and clothing for them, radio-controlled cars and even helicopters. It is not surprising that often parents themselves are not averse to trying out all these new products with their children. But there was a time when all this had to be done with one's own hands, and therefore each such thing was unique and became the subject of boasting and pride in front of friends. So let's bring these wonderful moments to life again and remember how to make doll houses for our beloved daughters. In addition, the process itself will greatly delight you and your children, as well as significantly strengthen relationships with them.
Training
Perhaps the cheapest option is a cardboard
dollhouse . It is not difficult to do such a thing: for this you need to cut the old box from under the TV or a washing machine (they are the most suitable in size) in half, taking the first half as a base, and from the second making partitions for floors, stairs and, if left, small furniture. It remains only to decorate it with colored paper, self-adhesive wallpaper or paints and equip the premises. However, such a house will last quite a while, even if you handle it carefully. Therefore, the best and only option for us is nothing more than to make the dollhouse itself out of wood or a finished small bookshelf by adding a roof to it. In this case, it would be better to introduce the second parent of the family, having previously come up with a sketch. After all, who, if not a man with golden hands, will tell you how to make doll houses reliable and strong.
And he will independently acquire the material and make the basis for our creativity from plywood or particleboard, without forgetting about the slots for doors and windows. Then we cover all the surfaces inside and out with varnish or plain paint, using large brushes for the outside and smaller ones for the “walls, ceilings and floor” of each room. But how to make doll houses cute and interesting, only your daughter knows best. Together with it, we proceed to the next stage of manufacturing.
Interior and furnishing
We find scraps of old wallpaper or purchase scrapbooking paper in specialized departments, cut pieces from it in proportion to each department of the room and glue it to wood glue. In some departments, such as a bedroom or a living room, trimmings of carpet or wool can also be attached to the floor. Also, “paintings” can be glued to the walls, making them from magazine applications or small parts of trinkets and souvenirs. By the way, in the matter of how to make doll houses even more comfortable, miniature figurines and small artificial flowers will help, which can also be used for interior decoration. Now it remains only to pick up furniture. It can be bought in a toy store, and then painted with your daughter using colored nail polishes. We make the final touches: “make a bed” of scraps of fabric in the bedrooms, arrange the pupae in the rooms. Now your daughter will be proud of her talented parents whenever she plays with dolls in such a wonderful house!
