Barbie doll is a fashionable and bright girl, she has a lot of different beautiful clothes and accessories. This means that the house should be large and unusual. Such a toy - the girls' dream - can be purchased in the store, but it is much more interesting to make a house with the whole family with your own hands. In addition, the materials for this are at hand.
How to build a multi-story barbie house
The material for construction is the most ordinary cardboard boxes. The stronger they are, the better. Pick up several boxes of about the same size, but even if they are different, you can still use them to make a house.
In addition, prepare:
- scotch tape;
- glue "Moment";
- PVA glue;
- the remains of wallpaper;
- scissors;
- stationery knife;
- metal ruler;
- juice box;
- 2 spools of thread;
- leftover yarn.
Measure the sidewalls of the boxes. Trim off the excess from the larger sides. Place 2 boxes with the opening facing you. Lubricate the side with Moment glue, attach the wall of the second box and fix everything with tape. Fold the rest of the boxes in the same way. Place the rows on top of each other and glue them together. You can make 2 or 3 floors. But keep in mind that a construction of more boxes will not be stable.
In the side walls of the boxes, cut openings for the windows with a utility knife. Cover the inside of the boxes with pieces of wallpaper. You can also paint the walls with gouache in your desired colors. Lay the pieces of linoleum left over after repairs on the floor, or glue wood-like wallpaper.
How to make an elevator
Equip the Barbie house with an elevator. Make it out of a juice box. Cut off the side of it. Cover with beautiful wallpaper on all sides. Make a rectangular or oval mirror from a piece of foil and glue it to the wall with PVA glue.
Attach 4 threads to the corners of the top wall of the box, connect them together and tie to a piece of yarn. Attach one coil to the roof of the house and in its lower part with wire. Throw yarn over them and tie. The elevator can now go up and down by pulling on the strings.
How to make furniture
The house for the beautiful Barbie is ready, but it needs to be furnished with furniture, which can also be done by hand. Use matchboxes to make cabinets, shelves and nightstands. Cover them with self-adhesive wood-textured paper. For the handles, use beads that are attached to the boxes with wire. Make upholstered furniture from pieces of foam rubber. Sheathe the sofa and armchairs with thick furniture fabric on top.
Vases, flower pots, dishes can be molded from plasticine, but this material is fragile and it is inconvenient to play with such objects. Alternatively, use plastic to make small items, which is as pliable as plasticine, but becomes hard when baked.
