The usual topic is how to make from cardboard. What can be made from cardboard

Master class on making a house-teremka for a mouse-hole Manyuni

PVC was chosen as the base material. Reasons: lighter than plywood, stronger than cardboard, well cut and glued.
I want to make a house with a blank facade and glazed windows, in this case I am not interested in making interior decoration. Therefore, in rear walls holes so that when transporting the house you can put staff and dolls there, and the insides are not decorated in any way.
The design consists of two separate parts, also for ease of transportation.

In the future, it is planned to select such materials so that the decor does not break or scratch during transportation and so that I do not have to carry the house like a "crystal vase". I always think about convenience and I am not ready to make some sacrifices on the altar of beauty.

Front view.

Back view.

Before painting, tests were carried out on a piece of plastic; it turned out that even with sanded PVC, acrylic peels off if it is scratched. Therefore, I decided to paste over the house with textured paper (toilet paper, as you understand, but you can also buy corrugated paper, the difference is only in show-offs). I tore it into small pieces and pasted it in random order so that the texture lay in different directions.
Glue - carpentry "Moment": since the guy introduced me to this glue, I look down on PVA a little. Joiner's is about the same, but it dries many times faster.

Closer invoice:

Pasting the walls of the house took me three evenings Painstaking and dreary work. All ends are also sealed, with a bend inward.
The roof was pasted over with simple office paper, stripes, which saved me a lot of time. There will be tiles on top, so this paper will not be visible.

Now we paint. Paints - Maimeri Acrilico in tubes, they have excellent hiding power, good mixing of colors, a slightly pasty consistency, and most importantly - the price work, and I bought a basic set of colors.
The walls of the house are painted with white acrylic, the roof is black. I already wrote that I dig hard on diorama sites, and they give a black base for all sorts of textures, so I decided not to reinvent the wheel and do as they say.

The white color, even in combination with the texture, turned out to be too flat, so I decided to add shades. I did it completely random)))
The first shade is pinkish-brick, acrylic is diluted to the consistency of thick sour cream, applied with a brush a couple of strokes to the surface and quickly rubbed cotton pad(without wasting a second, because acrylic dries instantly!) Dioramas paint with oil, it dries longer, but I don’t see the point in buying oil as well. As a result, we have colored protruding sections of the texture.
The second shade was selected already in a pair to the first, diluted the liquid-liquid greenish-brown color and washed the surface. Wiped off excess with a cotton pad. Places around the frames, under the roof and near the ground were more soiled. My Quenta house is in the woods, by a swamp, so it's supposed to be green with moisture, overgrown with moss and all that.

Both colors are clearly visible here.

Now glue wooden frames. I got the veneer because of the pull, but in general they buy it in shops for modellers. I bought a 5x5 lime rail there.
Glue - all the same carpentry "Moment", glues perfectly.
The guy offered to cut the rails with a laser, which would save me a lot of effort, but in this case, the more clumsy the better

Here we will have a balcony. We glue the frame and the wooden floor for now.

PART 2

The balcony is covered. It consists of square sections (linden) and toothpicks (bamboo). Holes were drilled in the planks for pins from toothpicks, and all this was assembled with carpentry glue.
The floor of the balcony is covered with veneer.
All wooden parts are opened with cherry wood stain. Alcohol stain, the darkest that was (specially requested not the most smelly, they come on a different basis). I really liked working with her: she perfectly impregnates the material and flows into the cracks.

I'm going to tiling. Pieces of cardboard 1x1.5 cm, rounded on one side. Spent a lot of time carving this stuff with my hands
I thought about how long it would take to paint all this with acrylic, especially the ends of each tile. I was horrified. I tried to paint cardboard with stain - suddenly I got an excellent imitation of pine bark. And random spots of glue resemble traces of resin

I glue the tiles in rows, each next I impregnate with stain.

Everything is glued on. I also spent a lot of time - but not as much as I could))
The pipe is made of Mungyo Sculpt Dry terracotta, grooved wet. Somewhere crooked, somewhere a little cracked - it's all to our advantage. The tile is also glued unevenly. In order to bring out all these nuances more clearly, the roof and chimney will still need to be painted additionally.

The doors are also made of veneer, pasted on a cardboard base (painted black, like the roof). I additionally applied relief with a needle.

Blanks for stones - from lumps of toilet paper. Although I have real stones, but it will be lighter in weight.

PART 3

I make shutters. I cut pieces of cardboard, paint the plane under the shutter black, the plane to the wall - white.
I cut veneer boards, apply relief with a needle.

The shutters are stained and then glued.

I build frames. Pieces of transparent acrylic are glued with a strip of paper along the end, so that everything else sticks to them more reliably. Then again I cut the veneer and glue it.
The slats on the small windows are made of matches, on the balcony window I had to take a thin round stick (torn out of a bamboo napkin) and cut off half to get a flat side.
She took a long time with shutters and windows, only frames with slats made the day.

The windows are glued to the house from the inside.

I paint tiles. The principle is this: terracotta color and I paint each tile separately in a chaotic manner - about a quarter of the total. I added white to make the tone lighter - again I paint a quarter of the entire tile. Kneaded more dark color- I paint the rest.
Due to the fact that some tiles are painted more densely, others are thinner, and four colors, it turns out such an artistic mess.
I finished painting some tiles with approximately the same batch, but less brown, and more white and black - a more gray shade came out.

I also painted the pipe with liquid diluted black - it immediately took on a shabby look.
The chimney hole is painted black.

She painted the ground thicker, several shades of green. Also painted the stones. The dark tone is the base, the lighter ones are on top: gray, brown, green, light gray spots of lichen. Toilet spools are now unrecognizable))

So, we have a beautiful new tile. The house is located in a humid area, so I will do lichen not only on the stones, but also on the roof.
I take an ordinary kitchen washcloth, I breed light gray with green tint paint and randomly poke a washcloth into the tiles. It turns out well.
Please note the absence of a pipe. I planted it on two toothpick pins, two holes in the roof. Roman advised to leave it removable - for ease of transportation))

The tiles are still too new, and the lichen stains could do with some muting. I interfere with the gray-brown-green color and poke with a washcloth, even thicker than before.
The roof is the bomb! Compare with reference.
I painted the pipe with the same colors as the tiles.

Now the shutters and frames look too new compared to the roof. I will spoil them too. The tree turns gray from the sun and water, so I breed gray paint and dirty everything wooden elements on the protruding parts, I do not touch the recesses.

The same with the balcony, and with the door.
Here you see copper rails, hinges and a handle. Everything was done using standard wirework techniques, slats are highly flattened wire.
Copper needs to be aged, I will deal with this later, so the elements are still hanging on parole.

PART 4

I think moss deserves a separate post.
Diorama makers often find materials for their compositions in the most unexpected places. That's how it happened to me. One video tutorial prompted me to this idea, in which trees were made with a crown of wood shavings (this happens if the floors are cycled, very small).
Here is the kitchen scourer that I used to texture the roof. The green abrasive part is made up of fibers that perfectly imitated moss (as it turned out). I hoped that something would work out for me, but I did not count on such a good result.
Still, it is better to take a green washcloth, because acrylic does not paint over absolutely everything.

I tore off this part, chopped it into small pieces with scissors.
Mixing paint in a jar desired color- this is the same Maimeri acrylic. I added about a teaspoon of Moment wood glue there. Throw in all the pieces and mix well.
The term of work with such a batch, until it begins to set, is up to half an hour for sure. There is no retarder in acrylic, glue plays its role. I had two of these batches. And I interfere, and separate the fibers, and stick - all with these two toothpicks, it is very convenient for me.

Result:

Roof. Live is even better, I'm still a photographer.

Moss keeps very well thanks to a large amount of high-quality glue with a plasticizer. You can grab your hands, etc.

PART 5

The flower boxes are glued together from PVC, like the frame of the house, and pasted over with toilet paper. Top painted with acrylic: brown paint in a continuous layer, and then black paint with a "dry" brush. It turned out such a multi-colored texture, and thanks to the relief of toilet paper, it generally looks like a tree))
Copper holders are inserted into holes in the wall. They hold tightly and will not fall out at the exposition, but I will take it off for transportation.

I repainted the pipe to match the color of stone, not clay.
Pieces of Icelandic moss, pine needles, etc. are pasted on the roof.

Lantern: glasses - a thin acrylic film (it was a badge from the exhibition), vertical strips - ordinary office paper, bottom and cover - PVC. Everything is assembled with superglue, because otherwise the acrylic will peel off. Inside is a piece of toothpick instead of a candle. Everything is painted with a variety of acrylics: the base is dark brown, the accents are gold and black paints.

The flashlight is also held in the wall by a hole. At first I wanted to hang it on the right end of the house above the window, but since that facade would be practically invisible at the exposition, I changed my mind.
I'm still in no hurry to patinate copper elements: what if I want to do something else?

I'm going to the swamp. A piece of acrylic 3 mm thick (which was) Roman cut me with a laser. It was possible to cut it out with your hands, but there is less risk of ruining a good piece of acrylic.
Under the acrylic is cardboard. I only had green, so I had to paint it black.

The edges of the swamp are covered with toilet paper to keep the whole structure together. Next, painting the edge: a dark brown-green tone as a base, lighter ones are applied with a washcloth. Also, the surface of the swamp was tamped with a washcloth to imitate duckweed.

My first experience of sculpting flowers from Claycraft Deco)) I bought it in Handmade Studio. The scale for this work is a little abnormal, the diameter of the water lilies is 1 cm, which is approximately 1/6 of the format. Blue flowers - 4 mm in diameter. even mine fine motor skills not always enough for desired result, But I'm trying. That yellow one is blanks-middles for the following flowers, I have not yet figured out which ones.

There are a lot of Deco courses on modeling in Russian. both material and technology are patented, but we are not looking for hard ways))

PART 6

I stuck water lily leaves. They turned out the second time: I wanted to make it so that you could just put groups of leaves on the swamp, and not glue them tightly, this is necessary for ease of transportation. So, the bottom side should be flat. The first version of the leaves was thick enough, but it was warped (I did not throw the leaves away - maybe they will come in handy, they lie on the sides of the swamp). I googled the Deco properties: they still write that it warps when it dries (((I had to come up with a workaround: what if the leaves are made thinner and glued onto a piece of cardboard? No sooner said than done.

This is the limit of paint mixing, at which the clay does not fall apart into pieces when sculpting.

Seen here different stages process: on the left - a cardboard template for leaves, in the center - a glued island from the inside, on the top right - another one on the front side, on the bottom right - a finished island of leaves, already pasted on cardboard. As you can see, it is quite flat.

I painted the leaves in a dull color, because the water lilies are very monochromatic (and why did I different colors sculpted, I don’t know myself?), glued water lilies. I added moss along the edges of the swamp, tinted it with different colors.

And this is strawberries in boxes. It took me a lot of time, because the flowers are molded in stages. I successfully adapted the eye of the needle to form the middle of the petals, and generally learned a lot of new things))

The process looks like this:
1. I make flowers. I knead the green paint into the clay, sculpt the leaves.
The details are dry.
2. I cut the wires, with one I bend the loop at the end - this is under the buds and berries, with the other - a circle bent perpendicularly, under the flowers, and I leave part of the wires like this - this is under the leaves.
3. I glue the flowers and leaves on the wires, I stick the buds raw on the wires with a loop. Mixing red paint. I form berries, poke needles with an eye to give texture, put them on wires.
The glue dries. I look forward to complete drying. Freshly molded parts also dry.
4. I tear off the buds and berries from the wires, dip the wires into the glue, stick them back.
The glue dries.
5. Again I knead the green clay. On flowers, berries and buds I form blanks for sepals.
6. While the sepals are drying, on the already dried leaves I cut out the teeth with a dummy knife. I collect leaf blanks in threes, twist the wires.
7. Gently tear off the sepals, cut out the cloves, glue them back.
8. I paint the middle of the leaves in green, trying to make a gradient to the edges. I paint all the stems and legs with acrylic, it fits perfectly on the wire and does not crack when bent. I paint the noses of the berries in light green and the centers of the flowers in yellow.
In short, I fiddled with all this for more than one day)))

Time to plant our strawberries! I glued the leaves to the bottom of the boxes. Instead of earth, I stuffed the same moss on glue into the boxes and stuck flowers-berries. Beautifully arranged everything and waiting for the glue to dry.
Ready!

PART 7

I stuck different leaves and flowers, painted the wire stems with acrylic, glued the leaves.

Stems for reeds - the same wire, but with unremoved insulation (green), extracted from a twisted pair. On top it is painted with acrylic, then a reed peduncle is stuck.
Reed leaves were made like this: a sausage rolls on a flat surface, then it is flattened on the handle of a brush - this is how we get a semicircular shape in cross section, it bends in the right way and is put to dry. The bottom of the sheet is made more embossed, the top is flatter.

You can see blanks of leaves for ivy on the left, on tubes of paint)) After drying, they will not be flat, but semicircular. From the blank you will get two leaves.

The ivy stem was made from very fine wire, the leaves after drying the blanks were cut with a breadboard model. Here are three piles different colors: the lightest leaves will be at the ends of the branches, darker - at the base.

Flowers planted under the house different varieties and species)) For the leaves, I also kneaded clay of different colors, some were also painted.
Made on the windows and balcony door curtains, since the interior was not made - in general, so that it is not very conspicuous))

Ivy on the house.
The technology is still the same: we paint the branches with acrylic, let it dry, glue each sheet on PVA. It is fastened to the wall with small wire staples, under which holes are pierced in the wall with a needle. On the leaves, I walked a little with a brush to give heterogeneity.

A little more general.

I also decided to make the reeds separate elements, for ease of transportation. The bases are cut out of PVC, glued with toilet paper, painted, then holes are stuffed with an awl, wire stems are glued into them. I also glued individual wire pins to individual leaves.

Inserted with minimal clearances.
The bottom of the "islands" with reeds is decorated with grass from a washcloth, like the shores of the lake.

That's almost everything)) You need to literally finish some little things, add to the location household items to give the house a residential feel.

PART 8

Stools. Made of veneer and square-section slats (the same ones used to make the balcony railing in 2 parts), stain on top, subsequent sanding. I tried to paint them with acrylic, but it did not work out.
Two gray byaki are blanks for pumpkins: toilet paper, thread, glue. Made to save material, although they could be fashioned entirely from Deco.

The pumpkins are ready. I tinted the depressions a little with brown paint for a more lively look.
A bench made of the same materials as the balcony: there were still a lot of these square slats, it was a pity)) Thin crossbars - from loose bamboo rug.

Mushrooms! I did it for several evenings: I stuck a bunch, walked around and around - it seemed a little, stuck more, and so on several times)))
The container for mushrooms was also made of bamboo mat: there were two types of planks. Paper hoops, assembled with glue. The bottom is triple, slats-cardboard-slats, sits in a barrel on glue.
Deco bowl.

They also have mushrooms on the balcony under the roof. She laid a linen rug, made another jug ​​from Deco, bought a mug at the Monpasier bead shop.

Yes, I know that the exhibition is in the spring, and we have mushrooms and pumpkins here - but I strongly associate mice with housekeeping and thriftiness, so the topic of the harvest was revealed.
The composition will also include a wheelbarrow and a bag of sugar from the very same photo shoot - why waste it))

Well, that's all, the work is finished. See photos of Manyuni in the entourage

When buying a large household appliances, food, shoes and other goods in the house there are packages that must be stored until the warranty period expires. Then they can be taken out to the trash, but there are more constructive solution- make them interesting decorations for the interior of the children's room, gifts. Ideas for what can be made out of cardboard come spontaneously. They are pushed by the forms of packaging materials, the need to complement the gift unusual shape packaging or an interesting postcard.

As a rule, cardboard is remembered when it is necessary to make a carnival costume, which must keep its shape.

Dinosaurs, tractors, maize workers, robots, Cell Phones- such full-length and symbolically made costumes will please the kids. They are necessary not for carnivals, but for the game. With the help of such costumes, children can be captivated new game, learn new livers, poems with them. Everything that kids fail to learn under the strict supervision of their parents, they will remember better in a playful way.

As a rule, cardboard is remembered when it is necessary to make a carnival costume, which must keep its shape.

Costumes of knights, gladiators, historical figures are more suitable for studying history. True, such costumes are more complex in execution. Cardboard can be painted with gouache. The only drawback of this paint is that it gets dirty even after drying. It is better to glue boxes made of corrugated cardboard, from which voluminous costumes are made, with colored paper.

For decoration, you can use large buttons, badges and other light elements made of wood or plastic.

What can be done from colored cardboard with your own hands

Colored cardboard is not very durable, it is better to use it for making postcards, gift boxes.

Do-it-yourself cardboard postcard

A postcard according to this sketch is made from two sheets of contrasting cardboard. Lighter cardboard should be smaller than bright cardboard on each side.

A postcard according to this sketch is made from two sheets of contrasting cardboard.

• The light sheet is folded in half.
• Stepping back from the edge 2 cm, on outside sheet, it is necessary to outline a line 6 cm long. At a height of 3 cm from the first line, a strip parallel to it is drawn, of the same length.
• Above it, after 2.5 cm, the next line 4 cm wide is outlined.
• The third, final, line will be at a height of 2 cm from the previous one. Its length is 2.5 cm. All outlined lines are cut through.
• Now they need to be turned inside. To make them look like a stack of gift boxes, they must be decorated with longitudinal strips of contrasting paper with small foil elements glued on.
• The edges of the card are also decorated with shiny stripes.
• The letters with the name of the holiday to which the postcard is timed are cut out of foil or velvet paper and pasted onto a cardboard base.
• It remains only to glue the decorated light sheet of cardboard onto the colored one. They fold upside down.
• The corner elements of a larger sheet are cut out in squares so that when its edges are bent to the outside of the decorated one, a neat frame is obtained.

On the outside of the resulting address, you can stick a holiday symbol (tree, date) or the word “congratulations”.

Thanks to the mirror used for the base of the structure, the light will be reflected, creating the effect of glowing from inside the ball. In the absence of external light sources, the hemisphere can be used as a candlestick.

For manufacturing, you will need cardboard thick-walled tubes, a large round mirror, glue and a varnish that protects against moisture.

You can use this decoration in landscape design by installing it in front of a homemade waterfall or illuminated fountain.

Preparation method:

1. Tubes of different diameters are cut into circles with a width of 3 cm.
2. Before installation, each element is varnished on all sides in several layers. This preparation can take a long time.
3. The assembly of the hemisphere begins with gluing the elements of the bottom row to the mirror surface.
4. At the end of the first row, the only element with the largest diameter is glued.
5. A frame is created around it from the alternation of narrow and medium elements with a slight shift inward.
6. Further work continues in a circle. The first few rows have a slight deviation from the vertical inside the sphere.
7. When the wall is equal in height to the largest structural element framed by the frame, the bevel will be steeper.
8. The top center ring is installed last.

This openwork decoration will glow not only in the evening, the sun's rays will also enliven it.

Teremok for a baby

Smooth cardboard tubes are very similar to logs. Of these, it is much easier than to make a teremok for a child from wood. It will be much more interesting than the cloth tent that commercials impose on parents.

• To " log house» turned out to be spacious, it is enough to take tubes 120 cm long.
• It is necessary to make slots in the tubes, at both ends, equal in width to the diameter. The tightness of the tubes to each other depends on the depth of the holes.
• It remains to fold the house and decorate it with a roof made of thick corrugated cardboard.
• The door and windows can be cut through after assembling the house, or you can form openings from shortened pipes in the process of folding the elements.

Smooth cardboard tubes are very similar to logs

By the same principle, you can assemble fabulous houses for dolls and other toys. Only the diameter of the pipes needs to be chosen smaller. And the material may not be so dense.

A few more ideas for using cardboard tubes in the interior

There are many practical applications for cardboard tubes with strong thick walls. They are used as organizers for pencils, pens and other necessary items. They make shelves for equipment, for storing clothes and soft toys.
