Step 2. The pumpkin follows clean from seeds and pulp using a knife (an adult does this).

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

Step 4. Then proceed to cutting out parts... Carved shutters and other decorative items can be cut with curly kitchen attachments. It is not at all necessary to observe the accuracy and clarity of the lines (this will give the house a darker look). Attach the prepared parts to the pumpkin using small studs.

Step 5. It's time to tackle the roof of the house. 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 on a cone (in the form of a pipe) on the roof.

The second option for making a pumpkin house

This pumpkin house was made for our competition by a family: Nabukhatnaya 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,
- an acorn hat,
- pebbles,
- moss,
- thin sticks.

Decorative material:

- wooden button,
- lace,
- key.

Super glue to hold all parts together.

How to make such a pumpkin house

Step 1. Making a house. Cutting out the bottom of the pumpkin, we cleaned out all the flesh from the inside. Carved out windows and doors. The roof was made from thin pine bark by gluing the pieces on top of each other. It turned out very similar to a tiled roof. The door was a solid piece of thick bark, the handle by the door is an acorn hat.
Step 2. Decorating the house. To make the house cozy, it must be decorated. Lace curtains were glued to the windows. The flower boxes were glued together from cardboard and decorated with pine cones. Summer is over, the flowers have faded. Therefore, the boxes now contain loose leaves and pine needles. To the window on the second floor stretch "grape whips", we made them from green marsh 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 mill. 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 covered 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 are ready to live in a fairy-tale house. It is a pity that he is too small for our large family.

If you have a lot of free time, then build a home for the Barbie, and if you are running out of time, then make a small shelter for miniature toys. How to assemble a house? The first step is to draw a pattern. It should consist of three walls, one pediment, a floor, a roof and a partition between floors. Let's start creating. Cut out the details. There are two ways to fasten the workpieces together. One is to glue the cardboard with a hot gun, and the other is to create grooves in the parts. You can combine the two mounting methods for reliability. First connect the walls together, then attach the floor to them. After that, insert the partition between the floors, and the last action is to attach the roof. You can decorate the front of the house with cardboard, which will act as a pediment.

Big dollhouse

Do you want to make a stable structure and at the same time not spend a lot of time on creating crafts? Build a large open cardboard house. Before starting work, you need to draw a pattern. It will consist of two side walls aligned with the pediments, a rectangle connecting the two parts of the future building, and three partitions between the floors. We transfer the pattern to cardboard and cut out the details. In accordance with the photo attached above, cuts need to be made in the blanks. They will play the role of grooves. Thanks to this fastening, the structure will stand steadily, and if necessary, it will be easy to assemble. When the grooves are made, you can start cutting out the windows. They can be of any shape and can be located in any part of the building. To make your home prettier, frame each window with a curly frame. For this purpose, use multi-colored gouache mixed with PVA glue.

New Year's house

Children like to do such crafts for the New Year holidays. A cardboard house can play the role of a candlestick or become one of the decorative details of a room. How to assemble a similar craft? You need to start with a sketch. Draw the house you want to design. If you do not often do prototyping, then you need to start by making a one-story structure of a simple structure. The drawing is ready, now you should draw its scan. Contrary to popular belief, this is done simply. If spatial thinking does not work well for you, first mold your project from plasticine. When the pattern is ready, transfer it to cardboard and then cut it out. Glue the parts with a hot gun. Color the craft with gouache or immediately make a layout out of white cardboard. Complement the project with trees and a fence, and then sprinkle the craft with artificial snow or fine foam.

Tea house

It is always pleasant to make not only beautiful, but also utilitarian products. One of them is a cardboard tea house. A master class for making such a product is given above.

You need to design the structure with a margin so that your child can enjoy his shelter for more than one season, but several years. The two side walls must be combined with the gables. Long walls are rectangles. And the roof for the stability of the structure must be made of rectangles, rolled up with the letter "P". Such large "clips" will cling to the protrusions that need to be created in the pediment. Cut through the windows in the long walls of the house, and cut out the door in one of the side parts. You can attach it using springs or an old door mechanism.

Photo of crafts houses

In childhood, everything seems a little different and big, beautiful, modern house doesn't seem cozy. The kid will appreciate any decorations hung in the children's room, but not as much as you would like. It's all about the usual desire to have your own island: small house where the child can hide from "big" problems, play with dolls or read a book. To provide the little man with the desired home, we suggest making a cardboard house for children with your own hands. The templates for such a house are too large to publish, so we will offer miniature copies of children's houses.

Tools and materials

What kind of cardboard house can we talk about if you have not prepared tools and supplies? Of course not about any. So stock up on the following subjects:

• Large cardboard box from household appliances. Used packaging from a refrigerator, washing or dishwasher, several plasma TVs, wardrobes.
• Stationery knife
• Tape measure and large ruler or rail (draw straight lines)
• Old wallpaper or whatman paper if you plan to custom design
• Wallpaper glue
• Hot glue and glue gun for parts
• Plain and double-sided tape
• Pencil or marker
• Roof blanket
• A carrier and a light bulb to guide the light in the house
• Roof rafters made of plastic tubes sheathed with foam rubber

If everything is ready, we take a baby in an armful, good mood and we go on a good journey - to chic cardboard house for kids!

The process of creating a house from cardboard

First of all, decide with the size of the house: it is optimal if the walls are at least 1–1.5 meters. This will make the child feel comfortable inside. In the presence of a finished box of a given size, preparation for construction will be noticeably reduced. If there is no large box, connect together equal the height of the pieces of cardboard using adhesive tape and create the desired area of ​​the future mansion.

Cut in the roof round hole 6-10 cm in diameter, pass the light bulb connected to the carrier through it. Secure it with wire to the ceiling. It is advisable that the light bulb is not installed in the center, so the child will not touch it with his head and avoid injury. Make it a rule every day check the state of the lamp to protect the child from possible malfunctions.

Stick on the walls of the house old wallpaper or whatman paper. It is better to glue the wallpaper on special glue, and whatman paper on ordinary PVA. It is not recommended to glue thick paper on double-sided tape, as it can come off at the most inopportune moment. If you have decorated the walls of the house with Whatman paper, then the best idea for registration will become bricks drawn with marker or paint.

Arm yourself with a pencil and make markings for windows and doors:

• If you are planning closing door, measure 70–90 cm from the floor. Further from the top point, draw a perpendicular straight line 40-50 cm to the right or left. Cut the door along two lines, bend it at the end point of the horizontal line. To provide your child with intimacy, attach a wire hook to the door. Be sure to put the tip on it so that the baby does not get scratched.
• Another door option is cutting a monolithic rectangle from a cardboard wall. In this case, the door will turn out to be completely through. For the child to be able to retire, offer to decorate the door with a light blanket.

Cut the window out into a single square of cardboard, or make 4 small squares to simulate window sections. Do not forget about the decor: stock up on curtains for new apartment baby. It is better if you attach them yourself using double-sided tape or hang the fabric on a wire stretched along the windows.

On this, the house can be considered complete, although, perhaps, there is one more detail left: hang up a sign with the house number and the name of the street. This is another surprise for the kid, because this is how he can live at any address: why not settle, for example, on Baker Street?

Cat shelter

A cardboard house for cats can be built by the whole family in a very small amount of time. The first thing to do is draw doors and windows using templates.

Start picking up the bottom of the box. Bend the opposite flaps, apply glue on them and bend the rest of the flaps from above. Press them together until the glue dries. At the top end of the box, cut off two wide flaps. Next, cut off half of the one remaining sash and bend it. Do the same for the second whole sash. Secure them with glue in this position.

The next step is to create the roof. On the top of the second box, on a small flap, draw lines from the center of the top to the bottom corners. Do the same with the second sash. Then cut out one large flap. Cut off the edge along the first drawn line, and bend the second. Repeat the same steps with the second sash.

Cut off wide flaps at the bottom of the second box, and cut exactly half from the first smaller one so that when gluing two boxes there is a hole. Glue the boxes together. Then take the first cut off wide flap and glue it to the bottom of the second tier to strengthen it.

A roof will be made from the second box. To do this, cut a piece measuring 45 x 115 centimeters. Bend it along the long side in half. Glue the triangles of the small flaps on the top of the second box with glue and glue them to the wide flap. Apply glue on top and glue only the first side of the roof so that the cat can look out from under it.
