How to make a chair out of origami paper. How to make a paper chair. Wardrobe made of wooden rulers

Hi friends! Our cardboard workshop received an order for the development and production of comfortable and durable school furniture for dolls from cardboard. It was necessary to make a school board, a desk and a teacher's table with a chair. At the same time, the furniture was intended for games with dolls 30-40 cm tall.

The play furniture turned out to be quite large-sized (for puppet scales). For a better understanding, here are the general sizes of items from our set:

- school board: width - 31.8 cm, height - 35 cm, the width of the racks - 16 cm;

– table (length×width×height): 30×17×20 cm;

- chair: seat - 10×10 cm, height - 21 cm;

- desk: length - 31 cm, width - 30 cm, height is about 20 cm, bench - 10×30 cm.

This is what the school desk looks like:

And here you can take a closer look at the chair.

What is at the table, what is at the desk of our doll model is very convenient. :)

Thanks to the use of several layers of cardboard, the furniture actually turns out to be strong enough for long-term use. No worse than plywood. And a definite plus is that cardboard furniture is much easier to do with your own hands. How exactly, I will now show you and tell you in detail.

Master class: how to make dollhouse school furniture out of cardboard

Materials and tools:

- sheets of A4 office paper (for printing templates);
– packaging corrugated cardboard (3 mm thick);
- standard (clerical) knife;
- creasing tool;
- metal ruler;
- scissors;
- double sided tape;
- glue "Moment Crystal", toothpick;
hot glue gun(optional).

As you can see, the materials needed for manufacturing doll furniture from cardboard, more than affordable. It is absolutely not a problem to get packaging corrugated cardboard now: something can be found at home in the pantry or on the mezzanine, huge quantities of used boxes are disposed of in furniture and grocery stores - and there it is quite possible to get the necessary amount of cardboard, and for free.

You can also buy cheap corrugated cardboard by the piece in art supply stores, packaging stores, or directly at a cardboard factory (if there is one nearby). In this case, I recommend choosing three-layer corrugated cardboard brand T-24- He's tighter. But in principle, softer cardboard of the T-23 brand is also suitable.

The process of making furniture for dolls, like all our cardboard toys, begins with the preparation of templates.

Generally speaking, having become familiar with the technology itself, if you wish, you can design doll furniture according to your size.

Or you can use ready-made templates, carefully calculated and tested in practice. A set of templates for making doll furniture "Playing school" can be ordered at.

PREPARATION OF TEMPLATES

So, if you took advantage of our offer, print the templates on sheets of A4 office paper.

Cut out small templates (which fit entirely on an A4 sheet) with small allowances.

Glue large templates according to the drafting schemes (see example). And also cut with small allowances.

Stick pieces of double-sided tape on the wrong side of the templates. Then each template must be attached to purl side of the corrugated board.

Note: the templates have a special round icon indicating the recommended wave direction of the corrugated layer. That is, the lines inside this icon should be approximately parallel to the lines that are visible on the wrong side of the cardboard.

It is not necessary to follow this direction exactly. Sometimes you have to adjust to the size of the existing piece of cardboard.

Just keep in mind that a cut made across the wave direction of the corrugated layer will be stronger and stiffer. And, on the contrary, a cut made along the waves is easily wrinkled.

Therefore, you need to try to ensure that, if possible, all the edges of the parts turn out exactly across the waves. In addition, they will look more aesthetically pleasing.

Well, now you can proceed directly to the manufacture of doll furniture with your own hands. Let's start with making a chair and a table.

TEACHER'S CHAIR FOR DOLLS

With a standard (clerical) knife, we cut out the details of the chair according to the templates C-4.1, C-4.2, C-4.3 and C-4.4. We cut long straight lines along the ruler, short and curved sections - by hand.

For details C-4.1 mark the fold lines with the tip of the knife (even before cutting out the part). Having cut out the detail, we crease it. A creasing stick used in scrapbooking is suitable for this operation. You can also score with the end of a flat screwdriver or scissors (just be careful not to tear the cardboard: the tool must be tilted as close to the surface of the cardboard as possible).

Carefully bend the piece C-4.1.

Cut out the details C-5.1, C-5.2, C-6. There is no need for scoring here. And we will make the folds on the details in the following way: along the blue lines on the template we will make cuts to about half the thickness of the cardboard (be careful not to cut through), and then separate 2 layers of cardboard in the areas between the cut lines.

To make the layers easier to separate, first fold the part along the notch lines outward. In the end it should look like this.

Chair details are ready. Let's start assembling.

Glue the part C-5.2 inside the part C-5.1 on the glue "Moment Crystal". Glue is enough to apply around the edges and around the holes. And in order to prevent the excess from flowing out, smear the glue with a toothpick in a thin layer.

Glue the second piece C-5.1- it turned out the seat of the chair. Glue the halves C-6(back of chair). At the same time, we apply glue to single-layer sections.

Place the glued parts under the press for a short time (for example, several books) - for reliable connection.

Notice how neat and accurate the end of the seat turned out - this is due to the fact that in this area we separated 2 layers of cardboard.

inside the part C-4.1 glue the part first C-4.2, then - C-4.3 and C-4.4 front sides out.

Check: when bending the legs of the chair, these parts must fit exactly at right angles to each other.

When the legs of the chair are dry, glue them to the seat. Pour glue into the slots of the seat, grease the protrusions on the legs with a toothpick. We connect the parts as shown in the photo.

Glue the back of the chair. Here, in addition to the protrusion and slot, we also lubricate the back surface of the legs with glue.

We connect everything, press and hold until the glue seizes.

The cardboard doll chair is ready.

TEACHER'S TABLE FOR DOLLS

Now let's figure out how to make a table for a doll.

Cut out the details C-1.1 and C-1.2: 2 pcs. with slots and 1 pc. - without slots.

Cut out 2 pieces C-2 and table top details C-3.1 and C-3.2.

We glue on the glue "Moment Crystal" the supports of the doll table: 1 part C-1.1/C-1.2 without slot + 2 parts C-1.1/C-1.2 with slots. In this case, the parts must be positioned so that on both sides of the support the cardboard is facing out.

We also glue the cross.

And glue the tabletop: first, inside the C-3.1 part, glue the C-3.2 part, then bend and glue the free halves. Don't forget to apply glue to single layer areas as well.

The elements of the table are ready. We collect: we glue the supports and the crossbar, then we glue the countertop. For this operation, you can use a hot glue gun. This will make it faster and stronger.

That's all. The table for dolls is ready!

Let's move on to the next piece of doll school furniture.

SCHOOL DESK FOR DOLLS

According to the templates, cut out the details of the supports P-1.1 and P-1.2(2 pcs.), P-2.1 and P-2.2(1 pc.), P-3(2×3 pcs.).

To speed up the process, repeating parts can be cut in 2 layers: Fold 2 pieces of cardboard right sides together and secure the edges with pieces of masking tape. In this case, you will not need to print additional templates.

But cutting in 2 layers requires more strength. Therefore, if this method turns out to be inconvenient, it is better to cut all the details in 1 layer. It will be more careful.

Cut out the details of the bench P-5.1 and P-5.2, P-6.1 and P-6.2. Do not forget: we only make cuts along the blue lines, then we separate 2 layers of cardboard between them.

Cut out the details of the crossbars for the desk P-7 and P-8- 3 pcs.

According to the P-8 template, it is necessary to cut out 3 parts that are slightly different in size (3 parallel lines are drawn along one long edge of the template). You can do this in the following way:

- attach the template to the cardboard and use the tip of a compass (or a sewing needle) to mark all the corners of the part along the outer contour;

- transfer the template to a free area of ​​\u200b\u200bcardboard and mark the corners of the part with the tip of a compass, but now using the middle of 3 parallel lines along one long edge;

- once again transfer the template and mark the corners of the smallest detail.

Mark with a pencil where the detail is, and where they have the top, so as not to get confused when gluing. Differences in size are necessary so that the upper end of the crossbar is at an angle corresponding to the slope of the desk top.

In addition, we cut out the details of the base of the desk P-9(6 pcs.). The photo shows parts with rounded corners (although on the templates all corners are straight - for ease of cutting). You can also do this if you wish. To do this, round each corner of the part with nail scissors, first cutting off only the top layer of cardboard, then only the bottom.

The tabletop for the desk is made in the same way as for the teacher's table.

We glue all the details, as shown in the photo. The principle, I think, is already clear.

And let's start assembling. On this stage You can use a hot glue gun. Or you can continue to use Moment Crystal glue.

We glue the parts of the bench by inserting the protrusions into the grooves.

We assemble the desk: first we glue the supports and crossbars, then we glue the tabletop.

Glue the board to the base.

And glue the bench to the base.

School desk ready for dolls!

SCHOOL BOARD FOR DOLLS

The final element of our furniture set.

Cut out the details D-1(1×2 pcs.), D-2.1 and D-2.2(2×2 pcs.).

If desired, here you can use the cutting method in 2 layers of cardboard (see description above).

Cut out the details D-3, D-4 and D-5.

We glue the board itself: inside the part D-3 glue the details D-4 and D-5 as shown in the photo. Glue is applied only along the edges and smeared with a toothpick in a thin layer.

We bend and glue the extreme parts of the board.

We apply glue in the gap between the main part of the board and the shelf. We bend the shelf and press until the glue seizes.

It remains only to glue the board to the supports. And it's done!

Puppet school board in all its glory. :)

Let's admire a little more doll furniture in action.

School furniture for dolls turned out just like the real thing, durable and comfortable. And, importantly, harmless - there are no sharp corners or breaking off small parts and the material is environmentally friendly!

On a capacious shelf of the board (its width is 4 cm), it is quite possible to put home-made visual aids, mini-books, put pieces of chalk or a felt-tip pen.

You can attach a sheet of paper to the board and write problems on it, or you can stick a special film that imitates a school board, and then you can even write with crayons - in general, everything will be real! And the kids will love it!

If desired, doll furniture made of cardboard can be painted. Better use for this acrylic paints.

Although, in my opinion, and so very stylish. :)

Now you know how to make furniture for dolls out of cardboard. And you can do the same with your own hands for your children or for your group in kindergarten. And our templates will help you with this!

I wish you pleasant creativity and entertaining games with your children!

If you have any questions about making doll furniture, write them in the comments. I would be happy to clarify all points.

Yours, Inna Pyshkina and the Kartonkino team.

In interior decoration, paper furniture is in demand - you can make simple figures with your own hands. Another area of ​​application of these items is toys for children. Every child will want to have a dollhouse with beautiful handmade paper furniture. To make such products, you will not need additional origami skills, you just need to follow the instructions provided.

Origami furniture is an interesting direction that requires special attention. The production of such figurines does not take a large number time, and the resulting result pleases with its appearance adults and children. main feature products - the maximum similarity with the real items of sets: sofas, tables, cabinets, armchairs and chests of drawers.

Use this furniture real life unlikely to succeed, but objects will become good option to create a layout of a future room or design dollhouse. To achieve similarity with real furniture, textured paper is used in the design, imitating various surfaces: stone, leather, fabric, wood and metal. When creating objects, it is better to use paint, which does not completely impregnate the material, but only gives it color.

The following materials are used for manufacturing:

  • Base material - matchboxes, a little corrugated cardboard, colored thick paper;
  • Pieces of fabric, decorative film and texture paper for finishing finished items;
  • Scissors;
  • Pencil or black pen;
  • PVA glue or any other for working with paper.

You can work with paper on your own, or you can connect loved ones to the process. Then the resulting products will be diverse, but together they will form a single ensemble.

How to do the following options

You can make anything out of paper. You just need to show imagination and perseverance. Consider master classes in the manufacture of popular types of furniture. Based on detailed instructions, you can make other types of interior items. The most popular are:

  • Sofa;
  • Dresser;
  • Armchair;
  • Closet;
  • Table.

To find out how paper furniture is designed correctly, you need to consider each option separately.

Sofa

A paper sofa will look great in a dollhouse or a miniature replica. real interior. Before you start, pay attention to the paper sizes:

  • For miniature options, you should choose colored paper 10x10 cm;
  • For execution in medium sizes, you need to give preference to a workpiece of 20x20 cm;
  • To create a large-sized sofa, the dimensions of the material increase proportionally.

The color of the paper is chosen at will, but it is better that it fits into the future interior or imitates real furniture. Having picked up the materials, you can start manufacturing:

  1. A square sheet is folded in half, after which it is opened and folded perpendicular to the first;
  2. The next step will be an additional hem. bottom edge wrap to the middle fold line, then fold again. The output is 3 fold lines, not counting the central one;
  3. The lower thin strip is wrapped on the first fold, after which two identical triangles are laid by bending the side parts diagonally;
  4. The accordion is folded to the end, and the upper part of the workpiece is bent to the middle. The workpiece is turned over;
  5. The lower corners are folded up in turn, and the upper ones are folded down diagonally;
  6. The workpiece is turned over again, bending one corner inward. This is how the back is formed.

Turning the product over, it is necessary to form the legs of the sofa and it will be ready. So handsome and original item will become a real decoration of a toy living room or an original art object.

Dresser

The most optimal and profitable way creating a paper chest of drawers - using matchboxes. They are conveniently put forward, so making an item is not difficult. If you want to make a chest of drawers out of paper, then you should use paper blanks. It is convenient to store small light things in this chest of drawers. Beads, beads, locks, clips and other little things for creativity and needlework will perfectly fit here. The top of the chest of drawers can be painted with colored felt-tip pens, giving it an original look.

The design of a chest of drawers from paper consists of the following steps:

  • Drawing a diagram for creating boxes: this step is skipped if ready-made matchboxes or other blanks are used;
  • Cutting diagrams along the lines, as well as assembling boxes for future chest of drawers;
  • The entire chest of drawers is glued with cardboard for strength, however, it is not necessary to glue the front part where the boxes will be inserted;
  • The facades of the boxes are pasted over with any material - fabric, film, leather, and a bead or button is attached as a handle;
  • Legs for a chest of drawers can be made from pushpins - for miniature furniture or pipes from toilet paper- for oversized items.

This chest of drawers is also a good gift for a girl with a lot of jewelry: all the jewelry will fit in the boxes.

Armchair

Making a stylish chair out of colored paper is also not difficult. To create it, you don’t even need glue and adhesive tape, you only need a sheet of paper of the required color. It is worth noting that cutting blanks from beautiful textured paper will give best result than furniture made of ordinary plain material. In addition, if you find diagrams that show pieces of furniture made in various styles- you can make a chair that is as similar as possible to real furniture. For work, you need one sheet of paper in the shape of a square. Its dimensions are selected depending on the dimensions of the future product:

  1. Bend the square sheet in half, then open it and press one of the halves to the center fold line;
  2. Press the second part of the square to the center of the workpiece. Next, go over all the fold lines with your hand to clearly outline the lines formed. Open the workpiece and turn the front side towards you;
  3. One part of the 4 lines obtained must be cut off: this is done with scissors or a metal ruler;
  4. Fold the workpiece across the resulting lines, visually marking the center, bend the triangle to the right. Do the same with the left side, you should end up with two triangles superimposed on each other;
  5. The middle strip, remaining at the bottom, is bent over the triangles. Each fold line is additionally smoothed with fingers;
  6. The strip, which was previously bent up, is bent - it will serve as a seat. The side parts will become handholds, they must be glued from the inside to the seat.

It turns out an original and easy-to-make chair made of paper. To diversify its surface, you can stick on the seat decorative paper imitating skin.

Closet

The design of the cabinet is similar to the manufacture of a chest of drawers, which was described earlier. The difference will be that the frame should be higher, and besides drawers need shelves. Some of the nuances of making a paper cabinet:

  • For the blank, it is necessary to use a scan from a rectangular sheet of thick paper;
  • The ideal size would be A4 format, if you need a larger product - the dimensions increase proportionally;
  • After you draw the diagram, it must be cut out: first, the main elements are cut out along the lines, after which they proceed to cutting the overhead valves;
  • The frame of the model is glued without doors;
  • The doors are cut out of the same paper. Later they can be decorated with a film: the adhesive layer of such material will allow you to apply it to the base without any problems.

Finally, decorative handles are glued to the doors. For this, buttons or beads are suitable. The legs are made from thick cardboard.

Table

Assembling a paper table is not difficult, especially if you already have experience with this material. There are many options for creating tables, but beginners should choose less hard way. It consists of the following actions:

  • For work, a square sheet of paper is used;
  • All sides of the square fold inward, forming mini-squares;
  • Each square folds inward to form triangles;
  • The triangles curve outward;
  • The final step is the formation of the legs.

To ennoble the tabletop, stick beautiful decorative paper on it or paint it with colored felt-tip pens and acrylic.

decoration

A separate step is to highlight the decoration of finished products. Do-it-yourself furniture, the schemes of which can be found in this material, is decorated as follows.

Material Peculiarities What is suitable for
Self-adhesive paper for furniture Use given material possible in the manufacture of any type of furniture. Such a film is ideal for beginners, because it is easy to cut, and the adhesive layer allows you to decorate the surface without any problems. For countertops, chair seats, sofas and armchairs, for decorating cabinet doors and chest of drawers.
Use of paints Paints allow you to show creativity, move away from the standards. Using paint, you can draw any pattern and pattern. When choosing a tool, pay attention to the fact that it does not damage paper base. Acrylic or water-based formulations are preferred. For all kinds of crafts, especially for decorating the front parts of products.
Fabric Application The fabric allows you to imitate the structure of the furniture as much as possible. Suitable for sofas, armchairs and chairs.

If gouache is used for decoration, you need to mix it with PVA glue (1: 1). After drying, the paint will not be imprinted on the hands, and the product will receive additional rigidity.

Do-it-yourself paper furniture will be an excellent option for a dollhouse or designing layouts for a future interior. Making miniature items is a fun activity that everyone in the family can get involved in.

Drawings and diagrams

The little owner of a dollhouse will definitely want to furnish it beautiful furniture and will ask her parents to help her with this. The house must have a sofa, table, bed, chairs and other pieces of furniture. Of course you can buy them. But it can be easily made with your own hands, using a minimum of funds.

Approximate Dimensions

Before thinking about how to make a table for dolls on your own and from what material, you need to decide on the size. It is necessary to build on the growth of the doll itself and the size of the house. The interior will look beautiful if all the furniture is approximately the same scale and style.

The easiest way to make all objects proportionally the same is to calculate the scale. It is necessary to divide by the size of the doll the average height of a person. You will get a number by which you will subsequently need to divide all the real dimensions of the furniture in order to get puppet ones.

For example, the doll's height is 20 cm. Divide the average person's height of 175 cm by 20 cm = 8.75. By this number, you need to divide the actual dimensions of human furniture to get the dimensions of doll furniture.

On average, dolls have a size of 7.5 to 15 cm. If the doll under which this or that piece of furniture is made fits these parameters, the following sizes can be used:

Furniture for dolls from matchboxes

This is just a godsend for creating a dollhouse environment. From them you can create a huge number of pieces of furniture:

An excellent material for making a doll set is cardboard. It is very easy to cut, and it is glued with ordinary PVA or hot glue. From the old cardboard box you can make all the furniture in the house. The only disadvantage of cardboard- this is that without decoration and finishing on top with any material, it does not look very beautiful.

Corrugated packaging cardboard will not last long, as it quickly wrinkles and loses its shape. It is better to use scrapbooking cardboard or just thick cardboard.

Gluing a cardboard bed is quite simple. Need to cut the walls of the bed required size and connect them with glue. The back can be decorated with wrapping paper or decorated using decoupage technique.

You can make a bed without the help of glue. The walls will be fixed with the help of grooves cut in the walls.

Production of paper furniture

If it is not possible to buy ready-made doll furniture, you can make it out of paper. How to make a chair out of paper so that it is strong and does not immediately wrinkle? Roll paper into tubes! From newspaper tubes craftsmen have been weaving anything for a long time. Doll sets will not be an exception. Weaving patterns can be found on the Internet.. Such items will decorate the house and look very cozy. In addition, they will be quite durable if they are painted or coated with several layers of varnish.

For the manufacture of paper furniture will need:

From paper you need to twist thin tubes. This can be done with a knitting needle. They should dry well. Then the tubes need to be glued along with glue. It is better to use a hot gun, so the connection will be stronger and the paper will not get wet.

In this way, small blocks (walls) are glued together, which are then interconnected. They are easy to cut into the desired fragments. For better bonding, you can use wire or thread.

Then shelves and doors are made in the same way.. You need to fix the doors with tape or with wire.

Legs and handles are made from the same tubules, twisted into a roll. The edge must be glued with hot glue.

plywood dolls

A doll wardrobe for outfits can also be made from plywood. He will serve his mistress for a very long time. You can connect the walls and shelves to each other with hot glue or PVA. A hanger bar can be made from a wooden skewer or Chinese stick. Hangers are made from straightened paper clips.

Bed, table and chairs can also be made from this durable material. Some craftsmen even carve on such furniture beautiful patterns imitating carved furniture. It looks very nice. Plywood needs to be painted or covered with fabric.

It is better to fill the sofa with cotton wool or foam rubber so that it takes shape, and then cover it with a cloth.

The table can be made as a square, and round with a jigsaw. The legs will be wooden skewers or sticks. Chairs are made in the same way.

Furniture from a cardboard box

From one TV box you can make all the furniture in the house. To create it you will need:

  • The box itself.
  • Double sided tape.
  • Scissors.
  • Plain wide tape.
  • Glue gun or PVA glue.
  • Materials for registration.

All furniture must be cut out, cut into the necessary parts and glued.

Then the most interesting process begins - finishing. Cardboard can be painted, pasted over with wallpaper or paper . On the cabinet front or a dressing table, glue a piece of foil, imitating a mirror. You need to make a tablecloth on the table, and pillows on the sofa - this will add comfort.

Be sure to involve the child himself in the decorating process. This is a great opportunity to feel like an interior designer and show creative thinking. Everything will be used: small pebbles, shells, beads, rhinestones, stickers.

After the completion of the design work, the arrangement of furniture in the house begins and filling it with details (vases, figurines)

Of course, the kitchen needs utensils. It can be cut out of cardboard, wood or molded from plasticine. How to make a bottle for dolls is a more difficult question. Here you can use bottles of drops for the eyes or nose, over perfume samples.

Wardrobe made of wooden rulers

Another quick way to create a doll wardrobe. To make one cabinet, you will need about six rulers. You will also need a jigsaw and PVA glue to work..

Cut and sand the rulers so that there are no splinters. Everything was glued with PVA glue. After complete drying of the product, it can be painted. For a beautiful even color, you need to cover the cabinet first with a layer of white paint, and then with the desired color.

In the same way, you can make tables, chairs, bedside tables and other furniture for dolls.

How to make furniture out of clothespins

It is not necessary to use wooden ones, plastic clothespins are also used. They are varied in size and color, but with wooden clothespins, the furniture turns out to be cozier and more beautiful.

To make a table or chair from clothespins, they need to be separated. Halves of clothespins are used, which are interconnected. Connecting them around, make a tabletop, legs can also be made from halves of clothespins.

The beauty of this material is that you can easily shape the clothespin to the desired shape or cut as much as you need. Some make theater on clothespins with their own hands. Templates can be found online.

Making furniture for dolls - pretty fascinating process in which the whole family can be involved. Dad can be involved in creating objects, gluing, twisting and preparing for decoration. Mom and daughter will be happy to paint furniture, decorate it, sew tablecloths, pillows and bedspreads. This is a wonderful family activity that will make the little princess very happy.

Attention, only TODAY!


1. You will need: boxes from under the "liquid" "whiskas", a pencil, a ruler, scissors, a paper knife and, preferably, a self-adhesive "magnetic tape".
2. We print stencils on the printer (it is advisable to copy them into word .doc and stretch them over the entire sheet from the upper left corner to the lower right - they are “sharpened” specifically for printing in this document).
3. Lay out the stencils on cardboard. It is advisable to lay the shelves so that the corrugation runs along them, and not across them - this way they will be stronger. We circle everything with a pencil, we crush the places indicated on the stencils with a dotted line with the end of the scissors, drawing them along the ruler - for the correct fold, we begin to cut.
This is what the "school" and school furniture will look like in the end:

MAKE A PARTY:




For one desk you will need three of these parts:


The most difficult thing is to cut through the place of "docking" of the table and chair. Here you will need a paper knife, a ruler and caution. To insert the seat into the chair, start from this difficult place: thread half of the seat into this cutout, then into the second, and then push the seat to the back.


Here it is - a desk.

To seat the doll at a desk, slide the tabletop.

MAKE A SCHOOL BOARD:




Blackboard details: rack, board and shelf. It is advisable to stick a flexible “magnetic tape” on the board (as on fridge magnets), so that later, with the help of small magnets, “manuals” and “training material” can be attached to it.




MAKE A CABINET RACK:



The cabinet consists of a body, a large shelf and 4 small shelves.
Please note: the cabinet body is cut out of a "whiskas" box with ready-made folds:


The shelves are inserted into the slots.


Having collected a wardrobe, a board and several desks, you can arrange a real lesson.
Eliza and Elias are now in the plant growing class at the school of forest fairies.





Hi friends! Our cardboard workshop received an order for the development and production of comfortable and durable school furniture for dolls from cardboard. It was necessary to make a school board, a desk and a teacher's table with a chair. At the same time, the furniture was intended for games with dolls 30-40 cm tall.

The play furniture turned out to be quite large-sized (for puppet scales). For a better understanding, here are the general sizes of items from our set:

- school board: width - 31.8 cm, height - 35 cm, the width of the racks - 16 cm;

– table (length×width×height): 30×17×20 cm;

- chair: seat - 10×10 cm, height - 21 cm;

- desk: length - 31 cm, width - 30 cm, height is about 20 cm, bench - 10×30 cm.

This is what the school desk looks like:

And here you can take a closer look at the chair.

What is at the table, what is at the desk of our doll model is very convenient. :)

Thanks to the use of several layers of cardboard, the furniture actually turns out to be strong enough for long-term use. No worse than plywood. And a definite plus is that cardboard furniture is much easier to do with your own hands. How exactly, I will now show you and tell you in detail.

Master class: how to make dollhouse school furniture out of cardboard

Materials and tools:

- sheets of A4 office paper (for printing templates);
– packaging corrugated cardboard (3 mm thick);
- standard (clerical) knife;
- creasing tool;
- metal ruler;
- scissors;
- double sided tape;
- glue "Moment Crystal", toothpick;
- hot glue gun (optional)

As you can see, the materials needed to make cardboard doll furniture are more than affordable. It is absolutely not a problem to get packaging corrugated cardboard now: something can be found at home in the pantry or on the mezzanine, huge quantities of used boxes are disposed of in furniture and grocery stores - and there it is quite possible to get the necessary amount of cardboard, and for free.

You can also buy cheap corrugated cardboard by the piece in art supply stores, packaging stores, or directly at a cardboard factory (if there is one nearby). In this case, I recommend choosing three-layer corrugated cardboard brand T-24- He's tighter. But in principle, softer cardboard of the T-23 brand is also suitable.

The process of making furniture for dolls, like all our cardboard toys, begins with the preparation of templates.

Generally speaking, having become familiar with the technology itself, if you wish, you can design doll furniture according to your size.

Or you can use ready-made templates, carefully calculated and tested in practice. A set of templates for making doll furniture "Playing school" can be ordered at.

PREPARATION OF TEMPLATES

So, if you took advantage of our offer, print the templates on sheets of A4 office paper.

Cut out small templates (which fit entirely on an A4 sheet) with small allowances.

Glue large templates according to the drafting schemes (see example). And also cut with small allowances.

Stick pieces of double-sided tape on the wrong side of the templates. Then each template must be attached to purl side of the corrugated board.

Note: the templates have a special round icon indicating the recommended wave direction of the corrugated layer. That is, the lines inside this icon should be approximately parallel to the lines that are visible on the wrong side of the cardboard.

It is not necessary to follow this direction exactly. Sometimes you have to adjust to the size of the existing piece of cardboard.

Just keep in mind that a cut made across the wave direction of the corrugated layer will be stronger and stiffer. And, on the contrary, a cut made along the waves is easily wrinkled.

Therefore, you need to try to ensure that, if possible, all the edges of the parts turn out exactly across the waves. In addition, they will look more aesthetically pleasing.

Well, now you can proceed directly to the manufacture of doll furniture with your own hands. Let's start with making a chair and a table.

TEACHER'S CHAIR FOR DOLLS

With a standard (clerical) knife, we cut out the details of the chair according to the templates C-4.1, C-4.2, C-4.3 and C-4.4. We cut long straight lines along the ruler, short and curved sections - by hand.

For details C-4.1 mark the fold lines with the tip of the knife (even before cutting out the part). Having cut out the detail, we crease it. A creasing stick used in scrapbooking is suitable for this operation. You can also score with the end of a flat screwdriver or scissors (just be careful not to tear the cardboard: the tool must be tilted as close to the surface of the cardboard as possible).

Carefully bend the piece C-4.1.

Cut out the details C-5.1, C-5.2, C-6. There is no need for scoring here. And we will make the folds on the details in the following way: along the blue lines on the template we will make cuts to about half the thickness of the cardboard (be careful not to cut through), and then separate 2 layers of cardboard in the areas between the cut lines.

To make the layers easier to separate, first fold the part along the notch lines outward. In the end it should look like this.

Chair details are ready. Let's start assembling.

Glue the part C-5.2 inside the part C-5.1 on the glue "Moment Crystal". Glue is enough to apply around the edges and around the holes. And in order to prevent the excess from flowing out, smear the glue with a toothpick in a thin layer.

Glue the second piece C-5.1- it turned out the seat of the chair. Glue the halves C-6(back of chair). At the same time, we apply glue to single-layer sections.

Place the glued parts under the press for a short time (for example, several books) - for a reliable connection.

Notice how neat and accurate the end of the seat turned out - this is due to the fact that in this area we separated 2 layers of cardboard.

inside the part C-4.1 glue the part first C-4.2, then - C-4.3 and C-4.4 front sides out.

Check: when bending the legs of the chair, these parts must fit exactly at right angles to each other.

When the legs of the chair are dry, glue them to the seat. Pour glue into the slots of the seat, grease the protrusions on the legs with a toothpick. We connect the parts as shown in the photo.

Glue the back of the chair. Here, in addition to the protrusion and slot, we also lubricate the back surface of the legs with glue.

We connect everything, press and hold until the glue seizes.

The cardboard doll chair is ready.

TEACHER'S TABLE FOR DOLLS

Now let's figure out how to make a table for a doll.

Cut out the details C-1.1 and C-1.2: 2 pcs. with slots and 1 pc. - without slots.

Cut out 2 pieces C-2 and table top details C-3.1 and C-3.2.

We glue on the glue "Moment Crystal" the supports of the doll table: 1 part C-1.1/C-1.2 without slot + 2 parts C-1.1/C-1.2 with slots. In this case, the parts must be positioned so that on both sides of the support the cardboard is facing out.

We also glue the cross.

And glue the tabletop: first, inside the C-3.1 part, glue the C-3.2 part, then bend and glue the free halves. Don't forget to apply glue to single layer areas as well.

The elements of the table are ready. We collect: we glue the supports and the crossbar, then we glue the countertop. For this operation, you can use a hot glue gun. This will make it faster and stronger.

That's all. The table for dolls is ready!

Let's move on to the next piece of doll school furniture.

SCHOOL DESK FOR DOLLS

According to the templates, cut out the details of the supports P-1.1 and P-1.2(2 pcs.), P-2.1 and P-2.2(1 pc.), P-3(2×3 pcs.).

To speed up the process, repeating parts can be cut in 2 layers: Fold 2 pieces of cardboard right sides together and secure the edges with pieces of masking tape. In this case, you will not need to print additional templates.

But cutting in 2 layers requires more strength. Therefore, if this method turns out to be inconvenient, it is better to cut all the details in 1 layer. It will be more careful.

Cut out the details of the bench P-5.1 and P-5.2, P-6.1 and P-6.2. Do not forget: we only make cuts along the blue lines, then we separate 2 layers of cardboard between them.

Cut out the details of the crossbars for the desk P-7 and P-8- 3 pcs.

According to the P-8 template, it is necessary to cut out 3 parts that are slightly different in size (3 parallel lines are drawn along one long edge of the template). You can do this in the following way:

- attach the template to the cardboard and use the tip of a compass (or a sewing needle) to mark all the corners of the part along the outer contour;

- transfer the template to a free area of ​​\u200b\u200bcardboard and mark the corners of the part with the tip of a compass, but now using the middle of 3 parallel lines along one long edge;

- once again transfer the template and mark the corners of the smallest detail.

Mark with a pencil where the detail is, and where they have the top, so as not to get confused when gluing. Differences in size are necessary so that the upper end of the crossbar is at an angle corresponding to the slope of the desk top.

In addition, we cut out the details of the base of the desk P-9(6 pcs.). The photo shows parts with rounded corners (although on the templates all corners are straight - for ease of cutting). You can also do this if you wish. To do this, round each corner of the part with nail scissors, first cutting off only the top layer of cardboard, then only the bottom.

The tabletop for the desk is made in the same way as for the teacher's table.

We glue all the details, as shown in the photo. The principle, I think, is already clear.

And let's start assembling. At this stage, you can use the hot glue gun. Or you can continue to use Moment Crystal glue.

We glue the parts of the bench by inserting the protrusions into the grooves.

We assemble the desk: first we glue the supports and crossbars, then we glue the tabletop.

Glue the board to the base.

And glue the bench to the base.

School desk for dolls is ready!

SCHOOL BOARD FOR DOLLS

The final element of our furniture set.

Cut out the details D-1(1×2 pcs.), D-2.1 and D-2.2(2×2 pcs.).

If desired, here you can use the cutting method in 2 layers of cardboard (see description above).

Cut out the details D-3, D-4 and D-5.

We glue the board itself: inside the part D-3 glue the details D-4 and D-5 as shown in the photo. Glue is applied only along the edges and smeared with a toothpick in a thin layer.

We bend and glue the extreme parts of the board.

We apply glue in the gap between the main part of the board and the shelf. We bend the shelf and press until the glue seizes.

It remains only to glue the board to the supports. And it's done!

Puppet school board in all its glory. :)

Let's admire a little more doll furniture in action.

School furniture for dolls turned out just like the real thing, durable and comfortable. And, importantly, harmless - there are no sharp corners, no small parts breaking off, and the material is environmentally friendly!

On a capacious shelf of the board (its width is 4 cm), it is quite possible to put home-made visual aids, mini-books, put pieces of chalk or a felt-tip pen.

You can attach a sheet of paper to the board and write problems on it, or you can stick a special film that imitates a school board, and then you can even write with crayons - in general, everything will be real! And the kids will love it!

If desired, doll furniture made of cardboard can be painted. It is better to use acrylic paints for this.

Although, in my opinion, and so very stylish. :)

Now you know how to make furniture for dolls out of cardboard. And you can do the same with your own hands for your children or for your group in kindergarten. And our templates will help you with this!

I wish you pleasant creativity and entertaining games with your children!
