How to assemble a paper house. Paper crafts: house

From the most ordinary materials found in every home, you can create many original things. For example, the simplest option would be a house made of paper tubes. The ideas for creating it are completely diverse and sometimes arise during work, so bringing something original to the craft will not be a problem.

What you need

To create a piece of jewelry, you may have to visit the stationery department of any store to improve the original idea. Besides, something may still be missing. So, for the craft you will need:

• several sheets of A4;
• a pack of multi-colored cardboard;
• glue stick;
• scissors;
• straight cocktail straws.

Procurement of “building materials”

To make a house out of paper tubes with your own hands, you will need parts. To create them, the existing sheets will need to be divided into several parts, drawing them with a pencil. The size of the elements is a matter of taste of the creator.

Then the blanks are cut and twisted. To make the process easier, you can use cocktail straws by wrapping paper around them. This will give the desired shape in advance, and all that remains is to glue the parts. To avoid damage to the elements, twisting should begin from the sides, otherwise the material will wrinkle.

The number of such blanks depends on the scale of the idea, so it’s worth making them as you work, rolling up 10 pieces in advance to get used to the upcoming construction.

DIY paper tube house

Like any building, a souvenir begins with a foundation. It should be made from thick cardboard, creating something like a box with low sides. To prevent the material from being conspicuous, the outer sides are covered with shorter tubes.

Then they begin to lay out the rows according to the same principle that was used in the construction of Russian huts. Because of this, some parts will have to be made more compact so that the elements fit tightly and there are no gaps between them. When there are five improvised logs on each side, you need to mark the location of the windows and doors. To make the house made of paper tubes look symmetrical, it is recommended to place all the holes at the same height.

Windows and roof

To mark openings in the walls, you will have to use short parts, the dimensions of which are calculated independently. Places of cuts can be masked with “frames” made of colored cardboard at the end of the work. At this stage, the use of material will allow you to show the “interior decoration”. To do this, cut out a square under the opening, make an applique on it and paste it into the window.

If a village house is made from paper tubes, then for further construction the length of the parts is also adjusted independently so that the front and back walls form a triangle.

The roof is cut out of cardboard. To prevent it from collapsing, it is worth constructing several support beams from the remains and fixing the roof on them. In fact, its shape can be any, so experiments are welcome, because the originality of the idea is the most important thing in a handmade product.

It is also advisable to make the doors of the building from glued tubes and place them in the opening. If possible, such a frame is covered on top with self-adhesive wallpaper with a wood pattern.

Decorations

After the craft (a house made of paper tubes) is essentially ready, you can move on to decorating and detailing it. If desired, the building can be supplemented with various elements: a porch, shutters, a fence, etc. If you have imagination and additional materials, the possibilities are practically unlimited.

By the way, the stairs to the door are made from the remaining tubes, covering them with various self-adhesive wallpapers. This gives the house a naturalistic and unique ambience. If time allows, you can do the same with the parts for laying the walls. Naturally, you should decorate them in advance. Actually, this material is used for absolutely any purpose.

If large-scale work is planned, all parts, including the building, are fixed on a single surface. For example, cutting plywood or wood. In general, any thing that is useless individually can become a decorative element that will make a house made of paper tubes more vibrant and original.

A paper house is a great craft idea. Whether you want to create a miniature home for your toys, make decorations for a school project, or just have fun making a little paper house, you don't need anything special other than paper and water. So don’t hesitate and get to work soon!

Steps

Preparing to create a paper house

Gather everything you need. Depending on what type of house you decide to make, you will need a different set of materials. However, in any case, all materials will be easily accessible.

• For an origami-style house, you only need one sheet of plain paper, scissors, and a marker or pen.
• The dollhouse will be a little more difficult to make, but not much. It will require 10-11 sheets of paper, a pen or pencil, tape and scissors.
• If you want to make a fairy house, then you will need paper, a small bowl, water, a tray or plate.

1. Decide what kind of house you will make. The smallest house will be an origami style house, and the largest will be a doll house. Think about how you intend to use the cabin and base your decision on that.

   Organize yourself a clean workspace. You will find it difficult to work if your workbench is cluttered, as you will need to make neat folds on papers and make straight cuts. Therefore, for this job, your table must be clean.

   Make additional folds on the paper. Fold the square in half, bringing the left side towards the right. Then turn it back around. Next, fold the square in half, pulling the top side towards the bottom. Wrinkle the fold well and unfold the paper again. Two new folds should appear on the square, forming a plus.

   Fold the paper into a smaller square. First, fold the top side of the square towards the horizontal fold in the center that was created in the previous step. Then repeat this action with the bottom side and fold it up towards the middle.

   • Next, turn the paper over to the other side. Do not unroll the folds you have made before.
   • Now fold the left and right sides of the square towards the center. They should meet in the center at the vertical fold line.

2. Straighten the roof of the house. To get the roof of the house, you need to open the flaps of the upper corners of the paper. Lift them up, pull them to the side, and then push them down so that the corners of the roof extend beyond the sides of the house. After this operation, the paper folds should form isosceles triangles. An isosceles triangle has two sides of equal length.

   Complete the decoration of the house. Turn the paper over to the other side. Draw a door, window and other details that you want on the house. All is ready!

Making a dollhouse from paper

Tape two sheets of paper together. You need to glue two sheets of paper with the short sides. Start by folding these two sheets in half (“sandwich”). Be sure to press the folds well. Then lay out the sheets and glue them together with tape. You must glue those sides that run parallel to the folds you made earlier. Label the glued sheets with the letter A and set them aside.

Glue two more sheets together. Now you need to glue the two sheets together with the long sides. Label the resulting part with the letter B.

Draw a line on part B. The line should be 7.5 cm from the tape. Cut the sheet along this line. Try to cut the paper as straight as possible. This will be the front side of the house.

Add a door. Place part B so that the tape strip is at the top. In the lower, larger part of part B, draw a door. You can also paint some windows and flower pots or any other design details for the front of the house.

Connect the front of the house to the floor. Use folded piece A for the floor and side walls. Tape the bottom side of Sheet B (which you just drew on) to the side of Sheet A halfway between the folds. Before gluing the parts, make sure that the side edges of the front sheet line up with the fold lines on sheet A (the sheet with the floor). If this does not happen, remake sheet A again according to the instructions above, or simply make a new fold on the old sheet in the required place.

Raise the walls of the house. Raise the side walls of the house and connect them to the sides of the front wall. Tape the walls together. Don't worry if the side walls are too short. You'll fix it soon.

Measure the height of the walls. Measure the empty space above the side walls to get an idea of ​​how much paper you will need to make them larger. Then cut out two rectangles of the appropriate size from paper. If you want, you can also paint (or stick) windows and other home decoration details on the side walls.

Tape rectangles to the side walls of the house to increase their height. Also be sure to glue them to the front wall of the house to increase the strength of the house.

Cut out the door. Cut the door on the facade so that it remains attached to the house on one side. Then crease the fold at this point so that the door can be opened and closed as desired.

Draw two large isosceles triangles on a separate sheet of paper. An isosceles triangle has two sides of equal length. Then cut out these triangles. They will become the sides of the roof. If you want, also draw or stick on the attic windows.

Measure the width of the front of the house to create the roof slopes. Cut two rectangles with a height the length of the side of the above triangles and the same width as the width of the front of the house. To create a more realistic roof, decorate the rectangles with a tile pattern.

Glue the rectangular roof slopes to the triangles. First, glue the rectangular and triangular roof parts together with their sides. Then glue the top sides of the rectangles (the roof ridge). You should get a large volumetric prism.

Glue the roof prism to the walls of the house. The house itself is already ready! Now you can complete the decoration by arranging the toy furniture, after which your dolls will have a great home!

Amazing craft for kindergarten

My daughter and I made this craft for kindergarten. Many thanks to Watercolor for the idea and inspiration http://stranamasterov.ru/node/277918

The corrugated cardboard box was covered with double-sided tape, and logs of paper tubes were attached to it.

The result is this “log house”

Shorter tubes were glued in between

All the tubes were cut off, the ends were sealed with toilet paper, and the walls were also covered with toilet paper to cover all the holes and add texture.

This is what happened

The roof was glued to the roof using double-sided tape.

We made a chimney, a ridge, a door and a canopy over it. All from corrugated cardboard and toilet paper

This is already the outline of the clearing. The house was painted with gouache. The tree is a hawthorn branch, covered with toilet paper and painted with gouache. Soon there will be berries on it. Snowman made from crumpled foil balls covered with paper. The handles are made of wire, the nose is made of a toothpick. The bucket is a paper cylinder covered with the same toilet paper. Colored beads covered with paper were intended for Christmas trees, but they turned out to be too big.

This is closer to the ridge and the pipe

We drew the bricks, highlighted the door, and “filled” it with snow. Something is already emerging...

But this is a ready-made clearing. More about Christmas trees below.

Christmas trees made from MK paper

I made these Christmas trees for New Year's in kindergarten.

We will need:

Thick paper for the Christmas tree frame

Toilet paper

PVA glue

Bandage or gauze

To begin with, we’ll roll up a bag from thick paper to the size of the future Christmas tree, staple it in a couple of places and trim it so that it stands straight. The frame is ready. Now you need to cover it with toilet paper. Just apply liquid PVA and apply paper, one layer is enough. Let the frame dry. I dried it on the radiator.

Now take a roll of toilet paper and tear off a piece about 30cm long. Fold it three times lengthwise. We also bend the transverse edges to make it look neat.

Apply glue to one edge (where the free edge of the paper remains) and place the tip on the cone.

We press it with a brush, coat it with glue so that it does not fall off.

We begin to form folds.

When the first tier is ready, once again carefully press the joints with a brush and glue.

Then we cover the resulting frill with glue. Let it dry.

We repeat the same with the second and subsequent tiers of frills.

For strength, the finished Christmas tree can be coated with glue again and dried.

Let's start painting. I usually paint with gouache. I take a small glass, pour some water into it and mix in gouache: black and several shades of green. There should not be too much black so as not to overlap the greens. I cover the Christmas tree with this thin paint. If the color is not saturated enough (the paint is runny), you can paint the Christmas tree again after drying.

Now take a piece of bandage, roll it into a ball and put it in a jar of white paint. We stamp our Christmas tree with white paint. There shouldn’t be too much paint on the bandage; the threads need to be visible, otherwise everything will smear. It is better to stamp on paper first for control.

Now ours is covered with snow and it's time to hang the balls on it. I also make balls from toilet paper - they are light and stick well. To make a ball, tear off a small piece of toilet paper, dip it in PVA to get it completely wet and roll it into a ball. We paint the dried ball and glue it onto the Christmas tree.

To familiarize children with Russian life how and where they lived Russians people many years ago, I decided to make a layout Russian hut made of paper tubes. To make it you needed a cardboard box, A3 and A4 paper, PVA glue, brown acrylic paints, acrylic varnish (semi-matte, brush, ruler, scissors, stationery knife, (board texture background printed on a color printer) for the floor.

I made a model of the stove from small boxes. I painted the stove with primer.

This is how the layout turned out" Russian hut"!

« Russian hut» used for conducting various classes in which children are educated morally, spiritually and acquire the initial basics of patriotism. Children’s spoken language also develops well, their vocabulary expands, children get positive emotions here and learn to imagine.

Use cases with preschoolers:

1. Organization of role-playing games games:

“Putting the baby to bed”, "Tea Party".

2. Educational games:

"Kinship and Occupation", "Village courtyard", "Crafts".

3. Educational conversations:

"Life Russian people" "Folklore"

New Year is always a sea of ​​gifts. Adults, as usual, go to the shops, and children try to make something with their own hands. Crafts made.

Hello, friends and colleagues! You have already become acquainted with my events at the Russian Izba mini-museum, and now I want to introduce you to.

Joint creativity is a great idea for a family weekend or a relaxing evening in bad weather. Children always happily respond to an offer to spend time with their parents, and to fill this period with joy and make it useful for development, you can start making crafts. The most accessible material for homemade products is paper. It is sure to be in every home where there is a child, and provides enormous scope for the development of fantasy and imagination.

Paper craft options

Paper is an excellent material for children's creativity: easy to use, convenient, safe even for small children. It offers a variety of applications. In addition to the fact that it is used for drawing with any tools (paints, pencils, crayons, milk, ink, sponge, plasticine), it is glued, torn, and crushed. Paper is produced in various colors, sizes, textures, and densities.

You can cut out figures from paper to later act out scenes with them. It will be interesting for girls playing with paper dolls and clothes for them, made of the same material. Boys will enjoy making appliqués from colored sheets with the help of mom or dad.

Art is of genuine interest origami- making figures from paper by folding it in different directions according to the proposed patterns.

Another unusual technique - papier mache, with the help of which real sculptural images are created from soaked pieces of paper.

Having decided on the material for the craft, you should figure out what to make.

One of the simplest options for paper crafts is making a house. A house is an image that is understandable and close to children. A variety of building options: a hut, a castle, a school, a country house, a high-rise building, a palace - allow you to show your imagination and realize any creative idea of ​​a child. In the future, the building can be actively used in role-playing games and dramatizations.

Ideas for making a paper house

As noted above, there are a great many options for manufacturing various designs. What kind of paper house to make depends on the desires and capabilities of the child. Very young children 2-3 years old will be able to participate in creating an applique or coloring a finished sample. Older preschoolers can already be actively involved in creating crafts based on drawings.

Boys will be interested in the process of making a real knight's castle, and girls will be interested in a palace for a princess or a fairy refuge.

They can be made from the same paper house templates, but decorated differently.

On New Year's Eve, construction of snow-covered forest huts, elf huts or Santa Claus will generate interest. They can be made small in size and used as Christmas tree decorations. Christmas houses are given a special charm by the lights of Christmas tree garlands attached from the inside or on the back side of the facade.

Application made of colored paper

Making appliques from colored paper is suitable for young children who are just learning how to work with paper material and glue. It is also good to use this technique when preparing homemade cards.

For a house made of colored paper using the applique technique you will need very few materials:

• colored paper;
• White paper;
• cardboard;
• glue stick;
• felt-tip pens or paints;
• scissors.

You can use ready-made diagrams or create a picture according to your own design. The main idea is to create a drawing of a house from geometric shapes cut out of colored paper or hand-painted. It is enough to prepare a square and a triangle, stick them on the base - and you have the simplest house. The pipe, windows, doors, fence can be drawn or cut out additionally.

To create a castle or a beautiful tower, it is better to use ready-made templates, widely presented on various sites dedicated to creativity, scrapbooking, and postcard making. The diagram is printed on white paper using a printer, cut out along the indicated lines, colored with paints or felt-tip pens and glued to a postcard base or plain white cardboard. Decoration with rhinestones, beads, ribbons, sparkles will give a unique and festive look to even the simplest picture.

Cardboard house according to template

To make a three-dimensional model of a home, you will need to draw a scan or use ready-made paper house templates for printing.

The simplest diagram is presented below. It is enough to print this blank on a printer, decorate it as you wish and glue it onto a thick sheet of cardboard. Next, you need to get a layout, carefully cutting along solid lines and not forgetting to leave space for glue. By running scissors or a narrow stick along the fold lines, you need assemble the product into a 3D model And glue with a glue stick or PVA on the sides. The house is ready!

Various sites dedicated to children's creativity provide many drawings with detailed instructions for cutting and assembling. You can create a house layout with your own hands.

When using ready-made circuits, you should remember some points:

• Larger items require larger sheets of paper to print. If you don’t have them, you can make a diagram from several standard A4 sheets, gluing them with tape or glue.
• Windows and doors need to be cut so that they open like real ones. It is convenient to do this with a stationery knife or one side of scissors.
• It is more convenient to decorate and paint a house when it is not yet assembled. In addition, imagining the finished product in the mind develops the child’s spatial and creative thinking.
• To ensure the stability of the structure, you should use thick cardboard as a base for the walls or prepare a substrate to which the structure will be attached.

Interesting volumetric products are obtained if the walls are made not rectangular, but round, like in a palace. To do this, you need to fold the rectangle with the short sides facing each other and glue them together. The result is a cylinder that serves as a tower for the castle. For the roof, take a sheet, roll it into a cone and fasten it in this state. After this, all that remains is to connect the two parts together using glue or tape.

If you prepare several cylinders, painting them in advance, you will get a luxurious castle for a real princess. By cutting out tree shapes and a blue circle from colored cardboard, you can create a park with a lake around the building.

Hut made of paper tubes

An unusual hut can be make from paper tubes, using them as logs. To do this you will need the following materials:

• small rectangular sheets of thin paper for making logs;
• glue;
• scissors;
• felt-tip pens or paints;
• a sheet of cardboard or colored paper for the roof.

Need to prepare in advance identical paper rectangles, which, when rolled up, will form small tubes. When there are enough blanks, you can start creating “logs”. To do this, take one rectangle-blank, its edges are smeared with glue, and then connected. It is convenient to collect tubes by wrapping paper around a pencil.

The next stage will be the construction of a log house. Two paper tubes are laid opposite each other, two more tubes are placed on top of them, perpendicular to the first ones, it should turn out to be a square when viewed from above. The “logs” are held together with glue, then the second row and subsequent ones are laid in the same way. Construction is completed by attaching a gable roof to the finished frame. To do this, a thick sheet of cardboard is folded in half, and the end parts in the form of arrows are attached to the fold, which are lowered inside the house along opposite sides.

After the product has dried, you can cut out windows and doors in the walls with a sharp knife, or simply glue them on the outside. The windows can be decorated with platbands, coloring the structure accordingly.

You can use more than just scissors and glue to get an image of a house on paper. It will be much more exciting create a craft in origami style, following the instructions for folding the figure:

In European countries there is a tradition of decorating the windowsills of residential premises for Christmas. One of the most popular installations is a cardboard silhouette of houses with glowing windows.

To make such a decoration yourself, you will need to find your favorite template for building facades in the Scandinavian style. Designs with a large number of windows in multi-story buildings look especially attractive.

Having selected a suitable design, all that remains is to carefully cut out the silhouettes along the contour, cut out all the windows and doors in them, install the craft on a cardboard stand with the façade facing the street, and hang an LED garland from behind or place electric candles. Garland lamps should be attached with tape to the back of each window. You can make snowdrifts of cotton wool near the buildings, add glitter and the cardboard sheet will look like a magical Christmas town!

Girls will be delighted with a homemade home for dolls or small collectible figurines.

You can make such a craft from a large sheet of thick cardboard according to the drawing or use a box from household appliances for this.

The assembled model or finished box must be covered with colored or wrapping paper and painted. You can paint not only windows, but also furniture, paintings, flowers and indoor plants on the walls.

In a structure intended for games, large openings should be left on the sides. The child's hand should easily pass through them to place furniture and dolls inside. You don't have to make a roof, leaving the walls. In this case, the house will be one-story.

Making a house out of paper is an interesting and creative activity that will be of interest to both adults and children. This affordable material can easily be used to make various crafts that can be used in games or to decorate a room.
