Do you want to please your daughter? original toys? Make furniture for her dolls with your own hands. I will tell you how to do this and offer auxiliary schemes and detailed photo reports for each of the projects presented in the article.

Project No. 1: armchair

Let's start by assembling a chair that is perfect for both Barbie and any other modern doll.

materials

Most puppet furniture items are made from improvised materials. The need to go to the store arises infrequently, but in any case, it is better to make sure that the necessary props are available at home:

A photo	Name
	Thick cardboard 1-1.5 mm thick
	plain paper
	thick material high density, which is suitable for: Foamboard 5 mm thick; Corrugated cardboard 3 mm thick
	A tube from any material with a cross section of 15-25 mm, which can be used as a case from an old marker
	Piece of thin foam or fleece
	Fragment liked upholstery fabric
	Consumables and tools: PVA glue; Glue "Moment"; Scissors; Stationery knife; Ruler with pencil

For do-it-yourself upholstery of toy furniture, I recommend choosing chintz, as it is better saturated with glue.

Work progress

Having prepared everything you need, we begin to make a chair for dollhouse:

Image Description	Description
	We draw on paper, all the elements of the future chair are life-size; Cut out patterns
	Cut and paste a stack of four foam board rectangles or six corrugated cardboard rectangles; Cut out from cardboard front and back parts, after which we glue them to the resulting base of the chair
	We cut prepared tube for two armrests; We fix them between the back and front part in the right places
	Cut out from foam board or corrugated cardboard, several strips, the length of which is equal to the length of the armrests, and the width is 10 mm
	Glue the strips under the armrests in several layers to fill the space between them and the seat
	Cut out from paper and foam rubber, fragments of sufficient size to cover the armrests; Glue paper first, then foam rubber on top
	We cut pieces of upholstery fabric according to the same drawings according to which the patterns were made, only we add 10 mm to each side for a turn
	Pasting over armchair cloth
	back cushion first, on one side, we glue it with foam rubber, then on all sides - with a cloth
	seat cushion also, first we glue foam rubber on one side, then on all sides with a cloth
	We transport finished chair in Dollhouse ik

As you can see, the final price of such a toy is scanty, because it does not require any special materials Almost everything can be found at home. But the daughter's doll gets an exclusive chair, which no one else has.

Project #2: chest of drawers

Cabinets, chests of drawers and kitchen furniture very convenient to make from matchboxes. In total you will need the following props:

materials

A photo	Name
	matchboxes- 4 things.
	beads: For legs- 4 things.; For pens- 4 things.

	Wrapping the resulting design with colored paper, which we also put on glue
	Glue the beads: One for each retractable part of the box, thereby imitating the drawer handles of a real chest of drawers; One in each corner of the bottom of the toy furniture to create legs
	Install ready chest of drawers in the right place

Such toy furniture will already give your daughter's doll house a uniqueness, but this is far from the limit of what you can do with your own hands. Move on.

Project No. 3: dressing table

A dressing table or a dressing table is necessary for every fashionista, which is probably your daughter's doll. We collect everything necessary for the manufacture of such a piece of furniture interior:

Materials and tools

A photo	Name
	Cardboard box small size to match the doll; scissors and a ruler with a pencil; PVA glue
	piece of foil
	Colored or white paper

Now let's figure out how to make an elegant puppet dressing table from all of the above:

Image	Description
	Cutting the box under the growth of the doll, as a rule, it is enough to leave 60-80 mm
	Cut out from the excess part of the box, a rectangle measuring 60-80 mm by 150 mm

	Cut and paste a piece of foil as a mirror on a protruding cardboard; We also glue small pieces in places marked as drawer and door handles
	Install finished dressing table to where the rest of the furniture is already located

And this do-it-yourself doll furniture is made very simply. In principle, the child will be able to cope with the described task even without your help. Now I propose to consider a more complex project.

• matchboxes (of which it is easy to build real drawers for dressing tables and cabinets)
• cardboard boxes for shoes, cosmetics and small household appliances;

Workshops on creating furniture for dolls: detailed instructions for your creativity

Any mother knows that her daughter's best friend is a doll. And this means that you will have to make every effort to create a decent home for your princess's favorite toy. And you can't do without furniture filling. We offer you several master classes that will tell you how to make furniture for Barbie, Monster High dolls, Winx dolls, baby dolls and so on with your own hands, and you just have to choose the appropriate option.

Do-it-yourself furniture for dolls from boxes

We offer you two simple options making miniature furniture out of cardboard boxes. We will make a dressing table and chest of drawers.

For the manufacture of dressing table we will need:

• a small cardboard box (hair dye packaging is suitable);
• scissors or stationery knife;
• Ruler and pencil;
• foil;
• glue;
• white or colored paper for gluing the finished product.

To begin with, determine how high the future table will be so that the doll is comfortable in front of it. If you are making doll furniture standard height(Barbie, Monster High, Winx and so on), it can be 6-8 cm. Cut the box at this height.

Cut off a flat piece of cardboard from the rest of the box (a blank for a mirror), the width of which matches the width of the table and has a height of 15-16 cm. Lubricate it with glue and attach it to the base.

Decorate the upper edge of the future mirror with curly openwork patterns or just make it round.

Paste a table with a mirror with white or colored paper.

Decorate the workpiece with painted doors and drawers (they will not open and slide out). You can also decorate the walls of the table and the place for the mirror with any patterns.

The final touch: you need to cut out the foil " mirror” and handles for drawers and doors, and stick them on the places provided for this.

Advice! Complete the dressing table with cardboard crib made in the same style (for example, you can decorate its headboard with patterns similar to the decor of a table and a mirror). This will help to design the interior of the doll's bedroom in a single way.

Connect the matchboxes together with glue so that their drawers slide out. When the furniture is ready, cover it with decorative paper.

As you can see, DIY furniture for dolls out of cardboard is very easy, and at the same time it looks just as beautiful as the purchased one.

Do-it-yourself plywood furniture for dolls

We offer you a simple master class on making a round coffee table for a doll.

For its manufacture you will need:

• plywood;
• a device for cutting plywood (for example, a jigsaw);
• glue;
• varnish or acrylic paint.

First you need to cut out two identical round elements (table surface and shelf), as well as legs and racks for the shelf. Next, connect them together with glue, as shown in the diagrams given by us, and cover with varnish or paint.

Do-it-yourself wooden doll furniture

We suggest you make a puppet sofa from wood and fabric. For this we need the following:

• flat wooden planks about 1 cm thick;
• wood cutting tool;
• glue;
• wrapping fabric.

Cut out five elements of the future sofa: the base (H6 cm * D16.4 cm), the same back and bottom (H6 cm * D14 cm) and two armrests, smoothly expanding towards the top (H4 cm * D6 cm at the bottom * D7 cm at the top).

Glue them together (except for the bottom).

Cut fabric elements of the same size and stick them on a wooden blank.

Separately, glue the bottom of the sofa with a cloth and lay it on the base.

Do-it-yourself furniture for paper dolls

To make a miniature paper doll table with a paper top mosaics, we will need:

• very thick paper or cardboard for the base;
• ruler;
• awl;
• scissors / clerical knife;
• colored plain cardboard for mosaic;
• toothpicks or wooden skewers;
• thick threads;
• glue.

First of all, we cut out the base for the countertop from cardboard or thick paper. Its dimensions can be any. Make small holes for the legs on it in the corners with an awl, and on the four sides for the racks that you will need to decorate the table with weaving.

Cut small squares of the same size from colored cardboard to decorate the table. Glue them to the top of the countertop in the form of a mosaic.

Insert toothpicks or skewers into the holes and additionally fix them with a small amount of glue. Braid the legs of the table in a spiral with threads, the edges of which are fixed with glue.

Glue the end of a thick thread to the underside of the countertop near one of the racks. Start braiding the legs and racks, passing the thread alternately under them, then over them. Make sure that the weaves of threads are tight, but do not tighten the racks too much, as this can lead to deformation of the finished product. Braid the table as much as you want, then decorate the lower and upper edges of the weaving with a decorative pigtail from the same threads.

Furniture for dolls is a decoration for dolls. If you take your time and approach this issue seriously, then you can really do a beautiful craft which will please the eye. First, decide what exactly you will create it for. If it’s just for decoration, this is one thing, but if it’s for a child, then it’s completely different. Then it is necessary that the furniture is resistant to breaking and does not contain irregularities that the child can get hurt on.

Now we will tell you in what ways you can make furniture for dolls.

Bedside table

This is the easiest piece of furniture to make. To make it, you just need the right number of boxes (their number depends on the number of drawers) glued together using any kind of glue. In this case, the retractable parts will resemble the drawers of the nightstand.
