How to make a home-made house?

  1. We take in advance dried between pages of books small leaves and twigs of the same thickness.
  2. Cut the twigs, leveling them with a clerical knife to an equal size (approximately 20 cm). We put together a home-made house of twigs, fastening them together with universal glue.
  3. While the glue dries, we begin to make a roof. To do this, we take a sheet of half-cardboard in size A4 and add it in half - we get the side slopes of the roof. The attic part of the roof is made of two triangles, with the cutting provided for the hem. Lubricate the triangles' bends with glue, and attach the roof slope to the attic
  4. With the help of a stapler we attach the leaves in the form of tiles (if the stapler is not available, the leaves can be glued).
  5. A roof with fixed leaves is glued to the walls of the house. We let the structures dry out. On a small veneer with universal glue we strengthen the house. From plasticine create windows and doors. To complete the composition, you can make a figure of a man from spruce cones and chestnuts.

Details of crafts-houses made of natural material a child can come up with independently, showing creativity. The kid will be happy to use in handicrafts hand-made articles. Gradually, he will be able to make interesting neat products, following a certain image.

With a child of school age, you can make a more complex house of natural and waste material. For example, to create such a decorative structure will need a tree bark, cones, moss, cardboard, spatulas and toilet paper. An intricate hand-crafted article can decorate a garden plot or territory near a country house.

In order that the house does not flood with water, when it rains, it can be strengthened on natural hemp, then you get a real fairy-tale hut on chicken legs.

This house will be an excellent option for crafts on the theme of "autumn" for kindergarten or school.
