Handmade house crafts - the most unusual and interesting ideas for easy and beautifully designed crafts

For children of all ages, there is no better developmental activity than creative lessons. The best direction in this area is molding, cutting out shapes, creating three-dimensional applications.

The child should actively develop fine motor skills of the fingers, and in addition, subject perception and abstract thinking. Young masters have a vast collection of ideas and interesting ideas to choose from, one of which is a house craft.

Materials for work

The first and most important task for the master is to prepare the necessary materials, as well as tools and a workplace.

As a suitable workplace, you should choose a wide table, a comfortable chair of sufficient height.

To prevent visual impairment, it is necessary to provide the young master with quality lighting.

If the work on the crafts involves the use of paints and adhesives, it is better to take care and about reliable ventilation in the room.

Also at the first stage it is necessary to prepare the following set:

• An organizer, in which the child will store small parts, fasteners, decorative items, brushes, pens, needles. With this approach, all tools and materials used will be in a certain place, in strict order.
• A set of paints, brushes for decorating the finished craft.
• To attach the parts to each other rather often use glue, paper clips, screws (the specific choice of fasteners depends on the complexity of crafts).
• Scissors and a sharp knife are useful for cutting out small parts for subsequent assembly.
• The expendable material can be cones, wooden twigs, popsicle sticks, wooden slats, cardboard boxes.

Very original houses, serving as a souvenir or gift, can be made from the corks of bottles or ordinary matches. Beginning craftsmen necessarily need templates or samples, which the child will lead the creative work.

Variants of houses with their own hands

Today we know quite a few interesting ideas for creating a house.

It can be a dollhouse or a simple model for an engineering college student, a gift to a loved one or a decorative element for a mantelpiece.

Depending on the situation, the master himself selects the consumables, prepares a sketch or drawing, which leads to further work.

The hut

The hut is an invariable attribute of any Russian fairy tale. Distinctive features of the forest hut are the walls and roof, made of wooden logs.

In this case, you can use twigs. For a creative task, you should pick up twigs of the same size as much as possible. Instructions for the master:

• Twigs are cleaned of bark and knots.
• Glue is used for attachment.
• Composite parts are put together in the form of a natural log cabin, alternating branches in the assembly.
• The roof should be assembled as a separate block, in the form of two slopes. The branches can be tied together with textured cord or twine, or you can use ordinary glue.

The finished log cabin should be placed on a level surface. The base is either a wooden plank or a plastic base on which the house is fixed. The roof is attached with glue or metal wire.

Forest house made of cones

Another interesting idea is to create a forest house from pine or spruce cones. For the creative task we need a few well-dried cones, which open and divide into component parts.

The assembly of the walls and roof is made according to the general scheme, however, on the surface of both slopes are applied with glue cut scales from cones.

Such a product gets a very original look, and pleases the eye of the master for a long time. The walls of the "structure" can be covered with a stain, which will give a realistic look to the handicraft.

A house made of wooden cuttings

Wood has always been the best material for creative work. As the basis for the future craft can be used wood cuttings, such as from an old shovel or rake. Instructions for the craftsman:

• All cuttings are thoroughly cleaned of knots and dirt.
• Next, it is necessary to saw the part into several equal in height blanks.
• Each workpiece is sanded, and then fastened together with tape, glue or two cross slats.
• The roof of such a structure should have a stylish appearance, so prepare in advance a jigsaw for shape cutting.
• From the chipboard panel cut two blanks for the future roof, in the form of two slopes.
• Connect the parts with glue or screws, and then attach them to the base of the house.
• The most important point of the whole work is figure cutting (roof ridge, side figures) and decorating. For example, using plasticine or cold porcelain, you can decorate the roof with molded vines.

Dollhouse

There is no better entertainment for a girl than playing with dolls. Real craftsmen create dollhouses of any level of complexity, using all kinds of improvised materials, such as cardboard, plywood or foam plastic. Very popular for creativity such material as plywood.

Blueprints for a future craft can be prepared on their own or use existing projects.

Focusing on the prepared plan, cut out pieces with a jigsaw for subsequent assembly.

All sharp edges must be grinded, and workpieces are impregnated with an antiseptic solution and moisture-resistant oil. Assembly is performed in accordance with the prepared project plan.

The easiest material to create a doll house or souvenir is cardboard. Today there are several kinds of cardboard, which vary in density and strength.

The scheme of making a craft is similar to the process of assembling a house of plywood, but maximum attention is paid to the decoration of the castle. Obligatory elements of the souvenir are high spires, flags, which can be sewn from textiles of appropriate color.

A house for a gnome

Many young children love active games, while others prefer to create three-dimensional illustrations of familiar fairy tales and stories.

Using the imagination of the child and his parents, as well as various improvised materials (cardboard, popsicle sticks, plywood sheets), you can make a real gnome house.

The roof of such a structure for a realistic effect is decorated with natural moss, which perfectly complements the old structure.

New Year's Eve house

No less interesting idea is to create a Christmas toy in the form of a house. For this purpose, the master can use a variety of techniques, including molding from plasticine, salt dough, polymer clay.

Also a bright symbol of the New Year can be made from foam plastic or cardboard. The greatest attention in creating a holiday souvenir is paid to the decor of the finished craft (the use of acrylic varnish, glitter, tinsel, mother of pearl paint).

Ideas for houses made of improvised materials

In the work of the master can be used not only wood, plywood or clay, but also a variety of improvised materials. The advantages of such a basis are the maximum availability of materials, and minimal investments in preparation for the creative process.

A house made of wine corks

For those craftsmen who have accumulated a lot of bottle caps in the house, there is an opportunity to create an original house. Wine stoppers are known as a natural material, safe for humans, not causing allergic reactions.

Corks can be attached to each other with metal wire or stitched with a needle and thread.

Glue is considered a less reliable compound for fixing the components.

The walls, floor and ceiling can be made from bottle caps, and the roof, for example, from ice cream sticks.

A matchbox house

Houses assembled from matches are considered a classic option for crafts and souvenirs. For a creative assignment, prepare classical kitchen or gas matches of various lengths.

The component parts are put together one by one, at the same time making a fixation of the walls and roof slopes. Such crafts are usually perfectly tolerated decorating (covered with acrylic varnish or paint).

Ice cream sticks crafts

Ice cream sticks serve as a great material for creating interesting crafts. After thorough cleaning, the sticks are dried and then glued to any chosen surface, such as cardboard or a plastic box.

The outer surface of the house is covered with paint or transparent acrylic varnish. Such a structure has a beautiful appearance, and pleases the owners with stylish decor.

Building with cardboard boxes

The easiest way to make a house is to use a cardboard box. For further work you will need illustrated paper, sharp scissors to cut out windows, balcony doors and doorways, glue, paint and brushes.

The first step is to cut out the window and door openings, the edges of which are then sanded. The next step is to glue the walls and roof of the craft with colored or illustrated paper. On the roof you can install a chimney and an outhouse, cut out of cardboard.

Interesting contrivances to create crafts in the form of a house is known quite a lot, and all methods are an excellent way to develop creative thinking and fine motor skills of the fingers.

Choosing a technique for the assembly of crafts and the drawing of the future souvenir, you should remember about safety. Protective equipment (mask, goggles and gloves) should be used for the child, so that the creative process remains pleasant and useful for development.
