What does a little girl need for happiness, except for a doll? Of course, a doll house! Make it is not difficult, but how much joy it will deliver to your baby! So, parents are offered a step-by-step instruction on how to make a doll house.
Master class on making a doll house by own hands
Most homemade doll houses are made from plywood or chipboard. You can also convert an unnecessary bookshelf or kitchen cabinet into a house. The design of a doll house is usually a "box" with an opening front wall or even without it, so that the child can play more conveniently.
So, let's start the construction!
1. Mark the sheet of plywood according to the scheme, and using the jig saw we cut out the following details for the doll house:
- A - the rear wall;
- B - sex;
- В - the second floor;
- D - side wall;
- D - front wall;
- E - inner wall (right);
- F - inner wall (left);
- З - roof (left part);
- And - the roof (right side).
2. All these elements must be fastened together, as shown in the figure. To ensure that the joints are invisible, use finishing nails. Use a jigsaw to gently cut out the windows, focusing on the width of the walls.
3. If cracks are formed when assembling parts, gently coat them with putty, and then sand these places with fine sandpaper. The house is ready for painting! This is how it should look at this stage.

4. Prime the walls from the outside, and then paint them with bright paint. Also it is possible to cover with a layer of a ground and ceilings from within.

Do not forget to ask the girl what color she likes, because she is the future owner of this house! Use for exterior finishing works water-based paint and pigment-pigment.
5. The next step is the creative design of the house. Decorate the building from the inside, giving each room a uniqueness. Select the finishes for the doll house in such a way that they harmonize with each other and with the situation as a whole. To decorate the walls, you can take the scraps of real wallpaper of different colors and textures or use the handy materials - self-adhesive, beautiful wrapping paper, etc. Correspondingly, decorate and flooring. It can be a fluffy rug, striped knitted path or a piece of real linoleum. Glue the cover to the floor so that it does not slip. Door and window openings can be made from photo frames or ordinary wooden slats, gluing them in the form of a rectangle.
Furniture for doll house by own hands
6. As long as we make a doll house with our own hands, do not forget to gradually think about the furniture question. Make room for each room of a worthy princess who will live in it. Of course, in shops ready-made doll houses with furniture are sold, but after all, you will agree, it is much more interesting to make your child such a grandiose toy on his own.
For example, a cute bed for a doll can be made from two or three pieces of wood, adding this piece with a piece of foam (mattress) and sewing a real miniature bed: soft pads stuffed with sintepon, quilted blankets. Wonderful chairs are made from cut plastic bottles (frame) and sponges for washing dishes (soft part). It is only necessary to decorate the structure with a beautiful satin cloth, and no one will guess what this armchair made of.
From the back wall of the house you can hang paintings that mimic the view from the window.
In the bathroom the dolls, of course, need mirrors and lockers that can be made from small cardboard boxes, giving them stiffness and pasting with beautiful napkins.
Decorate the house windows with small flower pots, "dropping" colorful colorful flowers out of satin ribbons or corrugated paper.
Here such a wonderful house for dolls can be made, having in reserve a little time, a drop of imagination and a great desire to make a pleasant surprise to your child!
