Making bibabo dolls. Gerasimova N.M. There are many bibabo dolls in our group to organize theatrical activities. On vacation.

To begin with, every girl dreams of a doll house. There was no such house in our group and I decided to make it for children. It took me.

Materials: - Any threads for knitting (I have balls from the store "All at the same price"). - Knitting needles circular and toe (No. 3-3.5). -Hook.

House is built. It does not matter at all whether it is big or small, made of brick or cardboard, Barbie or Snow White with the gnomes will live in it. In any case, he needs an interior, furniture and necessary accessories. In toy stores today you can buy everything. But as you know, the most fashionable things are exclusive, made in a single copy, handmade things. Therefore, we roll up our sleeves and begin work on making doll furniture with our own hands.

Making a real chair for Barbie

In the toy market, working miniature models of real human household items: cars, planes, clothes, etc. are most valued. The smaller the models, the harder they are to make. Let's try to create a similar exclusive piece of furniture.

To make doll upholstered furniture, you need to prepare:

• thick cardboard 1-1.5 mm thick;
• plain paper;
• foam board (thickness 0.5 cm) or corrugated cardboard (thickness 0.3 cm);
• a tube with a diameter of 1.5-2.5 cm from any material. You can use an old marker or a cardboard tube from under the threads;
• fleece or thin foam rubber 0.3-0.8 cm thick;
• upholstery fabric. It is better to choose chintz or staple, so that it is better saturated with glue;
• PVA glue and "moment";
• scissors, knife;
• ruler, pencil.

Making a real chair step by step

• Make drawings of parts on paper and cut them out.

• Cut out the details of the chair according to the drawings. Glue four rectangles of foam board or six of corrugated cardboard together. This will be the base of the chair, the seat. Then glue the back and front of the chair, cut out of thick cardboard. Attach the armrest tubes. Further, after pasting them with paper, they will hold well, but for now they can be slightly “basted” with pieces of adhesive tape.

• Cut out several strips of corrugated cardboard 1 cm wide and equal to the length of the tubes, and put them in a pile under the roller, smearing the layer with glue. Determine the number of layers locally. Paste over the armrest first with thin paper, and then with fleece or foam rubber.

• Cover the chair with fabric. To do this, cut out pieces of material according to the same drawings, but adding a little (1-1.5 cm) in length and width for the fold.

• Cover the back (removable) for the chair first with foam rubber on one side, and then with a cloth on all sides.

• Set the back in the chair. It can be glued to a stationary back, or it can be left collapsible.

• Do the pillow on the chair in the same way as the back.

• This is how the royal chair for your favorite doll turned out.

The manufacturing technique of this upholstered furniture is similar to the scheme described above, only this chair is not a real model, and therefore the base for it is easier to perform. It consists of a piece of foam rubber, cut according to patterns, 1-2 cm thick and a small box. These parts also need to be pasted over with a beautiful fabric, and then connected.

From a rectangular piece of foam rubber that matches the size of the box, cut out a pillow and drape it with a cloth. If there is a sufficiently long and narrow box, then you can get a chic sofa for a doll.

The desire to make furniture for very often stops the lack of materials. Of course, few people have furniture boards, wooden blocks and springs in the apartment. However, miniature furniture does not require such real details. Half-liter plastic bottles are in any home and can be used not only as containers.

If they are cut in a certain way, they can turn out to be beyond the original chairs. In order to give them a presentable look, you can sheathe or glue the edges of the plastic with a beautiful braid. Next, you need to sew two pillows with your own and fill them with some kind of filler. One of them will be the seat and the other the back.

To complete this work, we need a cardboard tube, which remains from a roll of toilet paper. The manufacturing scheme is the same as in the previous version, only in this case we will not be able to make armrests. Therefore, miniature furniture will be more like an ottoman with a back.

Cut out the desired shape from the tube and paste over it with a cloth. Make a bag, stuff it with filler and put it inside the tubes to make a seat.

Bed for doll baby

Barbie or Monster High are grown girls, so it makes sense that they might have a little baby. It also needs some furniture. For example, a crib.

There is a very simple option for making a cradle for a little Baby - a bed made of matchboxes. For the backs, you can use popsicle sticks. Glue the two boxes together and cover with colored paper. Glue the sticks and paint them. The bed is ready.

Matchboxes are an excellent building material for dollhouse furniture. These are ready made drawers. You can make a whole kitchen set out of them.

1. Take 9 boxes and fold them into three rows, gluing them together.
2. Tape around the perimeter with colored paper tape.
3. Make staples at the ends of the "boxes" with a stapler. These will be the handles.
4. Make hanging cabinets from three boxes.
5. Glue two pieces in each box.
6. Paint or cover them with colored paper.
7. Cut the top of the box down the middle. These will be the doors. Handles on them can be drawn with a felt-tip pen or glued on a grain of rice.

From matchboxes you can construct a wonderful chest of drawers. For this we need:

• 4 matchboxes;
• 4 beads for legs and 4 for handles;
• thin fabric or colored paper;
• beautiful braid;
• glue, paint.

Paint all boxes inside and out with a solid color paint. Glue them together and wrap with cloth or paper. Glue a braid along the contour, 4 bead legs on the bottom, and bead handles on each box.

From matchboxes dressers and doll furniture.

Crafts from matchboxes.

Hello, dear wizards :) If you use matches, then I suggest you not to throw away empty boxes later, but to see what original crafts can be made from this waste material :)

For example, dressers and many other interesting crafts that you can see on this page.

This chest of drawers is made independently, but we can easily implement it using matchboxes.

For this project you will need:

We connect two boxes together, putting them on glue.

With the help of cutting, we make paper lace, with which we will then wrap the chest of drawers.

For the legs, wooden beads are used, which we glue on a hot gun

The wooden legs will be perfectly combined with wooden buttons, which instead of handles are decorated with drawers, decorated with an oval printout.

A matching satin bow to this mini chest of drawers will decorate it additionally, giving it elegance and femininity.

as you can see, this project is made from available materials, and it looks very impressive :) If you have not purchased a cutting yet, then you can replace this step with any beautiful lace that will go well with a satin bow :)

Based on materials from the site-.thehybridchick.com/2009/11/romance-pack/

And another very interesting version of a homemade chest of drawers from matchboxes. For an additional volume of parts, foam trays were used, in which products are packaged in stores. Great idea for creating bas-relief protruding parts! get armed :)

The third version of a homemade chest of drawers. Several boxes, pre-painted in the desired tone, are glued to each other. and then wrapped in a common paper case. Buttons or any other mini decor is glued to the end of each drawer, which has a flat base for coupling with the surface to be decorated. do not forget about the legs, for which you can also use similar buttons or pick up others that fit this chest of drawers.

and another chest of drawers - as an idea for a different design.

Floor lamp

For manufacturing you will need:

• thick cardboard;
• glue;
• pencil;
• lace stripes;
• empty core from a helium pen;
• thin wire;
• a small diameter lid (caps from jars of medicines, from ketchup are suitable)

We draw a cone blank on cardboard. Cut and glue it. Cut off the top of the cone. It turned out the base of the lampshade of the floor lamp. Wrap it with lace. We bend the wire in half and pass it through the rod. From above, we fasten the lampshade to the wire, from below to the lid - to give stability to the floor lamp. The lid can be decorated with a lace skirt. Instead of a rod, you can use beads as a stand by passing the wire through them. In this case, we also decorate the lampshade with beads.

Watch the video for a master class on making doll furniture from old boxes.

Chandelier

To make a chandelier, we need a small container. You can use measuring cups for medicines, disposable plastic piles, the simplest candles in a metal case.

To decorate the chandelier, you will need strips of lace, thin strips of satin ribbon. They need to glue the plastic base of the chandelier. The metal case can not even be decorated, you get the original chandelier. We attach an LED to the base of the container that we used, if you thought over a house with real lighting. We hang it from the ceiling. The method of fastening to the ceiling will depend on the materials from which the house is made.

Thus, you can make lamps in any room of your dollhouse.

dollhouse kitchen

For the manufacture of the kitchen will be convenient to use small boxes. If there are no such boxes, then it will be necessary to make them from cardboard. It is quite easy to do this. It will be convenient to use if the boxes are glued together, making a single structure.

If hanging cabinets are planned near the kitchen, then we glue a sheet of cardboard to the back wall of the cabinets, on which we paste these cabinets. You can strengthen the structure by gluing long flat sticks to the back of the cardboard sheet. In boxes it is necessary to cut through the doors of the lockers.

To decorate our kitchen, we use self-adhesive paper, or any other beautiful paper. We glue the cabinets, with the help of wire and beads we make handles for them. A faucet can be made from wire, mixer handles from small beads. The sink has a deep lid. We attach it to the tabletop. Stove burners can be made from buttons. You can decorate the space between the cabinets in the form of a tiled apron. To do this, find a suitable picture on the Internet and print it. Stick it on a sheet of cardboard on which the cabinets are fixed.

We arrange dishes and products. The kitchen is ready, you can send the hostess to cook!

Each parent tries to give the best to the baby: interesting educational toys designed specifically for children's needs. And the kids will definitely love it!

But is the finished toy always beneficial to the child? Many of us have observed how modern children have a moment of “satiation” with blessings. Then they simply lose interest in toys: there are too many of them. Often, when meeting, children do not come up with joint games, but simply engage in “sorting out” toys - they only have time to get acquainted with the toys at a party, but not to play.

And parents only shrug their hands: we would have such toys in our childhood! What did we play, remember? We made furniture for dolls from matchboxes, cardboard houses; grass and fruits in the yard were the most varied food: yellow dandelions - eggs, dandelion leaves - cucumbers, acorns - zucchini, chestnuts - pumpkins, "helicopter noses" - bananas, leaves were banknotes. Yes, and the houses themselves, the store, the hospital, we sometimes arranged on a tree. Was it interesting? Certainly!!! After all, we ourselves invented all this, and in the country of children's fantasies, attributes are not so important. No wonder they say that before, to become a princess, it was enough just to put tights on your head. But with our children, for some reason, we go the other way, taking away the opportunity to experiment and invent.

The fact is that the mass of ready-made toys interferes with the flight of children's imagination. Who can prove that beautiful plastic vegetables and fruits are better than our children's dandelions? For children, the process of playing and inventing is important, and not the result - a specific object - a toy.

The Maternity.ru portal offers to plunge into the world of forgotten crafts from matchboxes. We will show you how you can build military equipment, furniture for dolls, fairy-tale characters and animals, interesting details from them.

Military equipment

On the eve of the holiday on February 23, we will first of all talk about models of military equipment. They can be presented to dad, grandfathers, taken to kindergarten and school, used to play at home.

See what theater of war your son or grandson can play. With the independent production of such toys, the child perfectly develops fine motor skills of the hands, perseverance and the desire to achieve the goal, the child has interest and motivation, he gains self-confidence from the fact that he himself can do all this. Let's not deprive our children of this, shall we?

Special equipment

Various cars can be made from this wonderful improvised material. For example, an ambulance, a fire truck, a bus, a taxi, a traffic police car.

With such crafts, you can participate in various competitions.

Heroes of fairy tales, animals

Using colored paper, glue, matchboxes, you can make heroes of your favorite fairy tale or cartoon. Look at the heroes of which fairy tale are shown in the photo?

Wonderful African animals and our native Cheburashka are also made from matchboxes.

Young children love small toys and interesting attributes to them. Inside a matchbox, a whole house for an unusual animal may well be located. You can put it in your pocket and take it everywhere with you.

Educational games from matchboxes

On the basis of matchboxes, you can make games for the development of the child.

It can be an association game, learning letters and numbers, and so on. Make thematic images: who lives where; who eats what.

Matchbox toy furniture

Matchboxes are the basis for making toy furniture, and then it all depends on your imagination and decor material.
The furniture assembly scheme looks like this:

You can decorate furniture in your own way: with colored paper, fabric, toothpicks, wallpaper and self-adhesive film, using decoupage technique.

With the help of matchboxes, you can also make unusual interior items: a TV, a washing machine, a piano, a suitcase, a frame for photographs or paintings in a doll house.

Once again, we emphasize that everything ingenious is quite simple. And the interesting new is the well-forgotten old. Now you most likely will not throw away matchboxes and miss out on the material for a wide variety of creative designs!
