House on three floors
This is a more complex craft, and the house will be on wheels.
Let's collect everything you need to build the structure: plywood sheets, a wood saw, an electric drill, a pencil, glue, a stapler, brown and gray paint, a paint brush, a primer, leftover laminate or pieces of linoleum. You will need wheels.
Let's start the creation process:
- The first step is to make a sketch according to the selected size. We cut out the marked elements, not forgetting to estimate the places on the walls for windows and doors.
- Now they need to be cut through. This is a job that requires patience and care.
- We are preparing the blocks for the windows. We connect them with a construction stapler and glue.
- We put the building on wheels.
- We paint the shelves brown.
- We treat the outside with a primer and let it dry. Paint it grey. The roof can be made in the opposite color for added color.
- We cover the shelves with laminate or linoleum.
The three-story house is ready with your own hands!
Dollhouse
Every girl wants to have the most beautiful home for her favorite doll.
However, such houses are quite expensive. It’s easier to apply your skills to inexpensive materials, and you’ll get a real miracle! Required accessories:
- fiberboard sheet;
- a set of colored paper;
- sheets of white and brown cardboard;
- glue and scissors;
- a piece of corrugated cardboard;
- pieces of wallpaper that are in the house.
On a sheet of fiberboard we draw an approximate sketch of the house and cut out the parts.
- We fasten them together with glue. The roof is constructed from corrugated cardboard.
- We cover the outer walls using sheets of colored paper of your choice. We make decorative markings on it.
- For additional decoration, brown cardboard rectangles imitating bricks are glued on.
- The entire structure is attached with glue to a blank cut from fiberboard for better stability.
- We use white cardboard for window frames. Having cut them out, we place them on the sides of all the windows.
- We also cover the balcony.
- The door with the door frame is made of brown cardboard.
- Interior wall decoration with prepared wallpaper or colored paper.
An amazingly bright house is ready to welcome its little owners!
We create houses from old furniture
In our version, the dollhouse will be made from an old chest of drawers.
The work will also require: a wood saw, a brush and a brush, glue, white paint, putty, sandpaper.
- If the chest of drawers is tall, you will have to remove the extra partitions, leaving two floors.
- Apply glue to the empty space that appears with a brush, lay wooden slats over it and leave to dry.
- In the meantime, we fill up scratches and gouges on the furniture with putty.
- After drying, sand the entire workpiece with sandpaper until smooth.
- We paint the entire miracle house white. Now it can fit all the dolls in the house.
Trying to create a mystical Euwa tree with a job description
In James Cameroon's film Avatar, we all saw a beautiful tree that grants wishes - the Eiwa tree. It is made from purple-lilac beads.
This is how it will look at the end of our work.
For such a tree you need a lot of beads in purple-lilac shades.
Now we need to string the beads onto a long thin wire.
After this, we proceed to making the tree frame. We twist it from 12 pieces of thick wire, plaster the barrel with a solution of gypsum and PVA and dry it.
As soon as our trunk is dry, we will put our beaded threads on it.
When everything is ready, the tree will look like this.
You can use LEDs for lighting.
Our magical eiwa tree is ready. You can make your wishes.
To strengthen the skills of making trees from beads, we will make a blooming apple tree.
Important nuances to consider during construction
If you decide to create one, then re-read fairy tales for children that mention fairies or gnomes. Little fairy-tale creatures can be not only kind, but also evil, ready to constantly interfere in people's lives. A ringing bell will help protect you from such a misfortune. Its ringing will scare away evil forces.

Learning to make topiary: “anatomy” of the tree of happiness ↑
Mastering the art of creating homemade topiary is not difficult. Even a beginner in handmade crafts can cope with this task perfectly. In addition, all the materials necessary for topiary are affordable and can always be found on sale. To make topiary you will need:
- Potty
The diameter of the pot should not exceed the diameter of the crown ball. You can purchase a ready-made pot or make it yourself from a container of the desired shape, and then paint it, cover it with fabric, or decorate it in some other original way. In fact, choosing a pot that is suitable for the style and color of the product is not an easy task, so if you first purchased a pot, most likely you will have to come up with a composition to match it.
- Crown ball
To create a crown you will need a plastic or paper ball. You can make a paper ball from crumpled paper or newspapers, and then coat the ball with paste or wrap it with thread. Rubber balls are more difficult to use because they lose their shape when pierced. If the decorative elements will not be glued, but stuck in, a foam ball will be perfect for floral arrangements.
- Stick for the trunk
A branch or any suitable stick, for example, a stick from blinds, which is subsequently painted or wrapped with ribbons, will do. It is advisable to choose a longer stick, because it will be attached almost to the base in the pot and a ball will be placed on it. A trunk that is too short can ruin the entire composition.
- Glue
Any all-purpose glue will work fine. For individual elements you may need super glue, a glue gun or liquid nails.
- Cement, gypsum, alabaster
We seal the hole in the bottom of the pot. Having prepared the solution, quickly stir it, pour it into the pot and immediately insert the stick-trunk until the solution hardens. The cement will prevent the crown ball from outweighing the pot. But if the pot is already quite heavy, the cement can be replaced with polyurethane foam.
- Pebbles, sand, shells, colored salt, beans...
Glued on top of the mortar at the base of the tree.
- Accessories for decorating wood
Dried flowers, artificial flowers, shells, pebbles, pine cones, bows, cocktail umbrellas, coffee beans, beans, pistachios, shells, corrugated paper and anything else that comes to your mind.
The simplest projects of unusual houses
The house can be a box that can be easily made with your own hands from plasterboard. Reliable fastening is ensured by the use of furniture staples. A sheet of cardboard is used to make the roof. It is simply bent in half.
In this position, it is attached to a plasterboard box with cut out windows and a door, and the top is covered with a concrete solution.
Apply the coating unevenly to create a tile effect. Paint the finished product and add accessories.
Several options for simple children's houses You can use a plywood base for the house. And the walls are made of thick cardboard of any color. For the roof, two identical parts are cut out of cardboard. Electricity can be installed inside the structure. LED light sources can serve as original lighting.
Master class on making oak from beads
Sketch
Any product is created on the basis of some idea, be it a visually captured picture or an idea that has not yet been realized. One way or another, you should create at least a rough sketch in order to understand in which direction to move when creating our tree and which patterns are best to choose for weaving.
Oak weaving
Our beaded oak will be formed in several stages, at each of which we will dwell in detail.
Leaves-branches
We will begin our work with perhaps the most painstaking part: creating the tree crown. We will need to make quite a lot of leaves and twigs so that we can form a tree. So let's get started.
We take a coil of wire and, stepping back 12 cm from the end, begin to string the beads, weaving using the loop technique. For beginners, demonstration diagrams will come in very handy, allowing you to clearly see the implementation process. In the process of work, we should get 11 loops, consisting of 7 beads each. We cut the wire and fold the resulting piece in half, twisting between the loops.
Usually one oak branch is formed from 2 such blanks. Having made 3 such branches, we can already assemble a larger branch.
Alternatively, you can use other technology. It is also based on the loop technique, but has a slightly different look. To decorate the sheet, make a loop of 5 beads on the wire. Around the resulting loop, make another loop of 14-16 beads. Thus, a leaf is obtained. There will be 3 such leaves on a branch. Weaving, in this case, starts from the central sheet.
To decorate the oak crown we will need about 200 similar branches. To give the tree maximum natural resemblance, we replace some of the beads on the leaves with beads, simulating the presence of acorns.
Large branches and trunk
Having formed larger branches from leaves-twigs, we proceed to creating the main branches. To do this, we cut pieces of the required length and quantity from thick steel wire, according to our sketch. We attach the branch blanks to them with tape or tape. To give a natural thickening, before finishing with threads, we wrap the near-trunk part with tape to the desired thickness.
When the branches are ready, we begin to form the trunk. We select a branch that serves as the core of the trunk, to which we will attach the side branches (we will have 4 of them).
At this stage, it is very important to correctly design the crown, straightening all the leaves and twigs. Then this will be possible only after the fixing solution has completely hardened.
Plastering the trunk
Before finishing with plaster, we check the wood again for the strength of fastening of the elements. Next, coat the entire trunk with plaster or clay; to do this, dilute part of the gypsum base with PVA until it becomes creamy and apply it to the surface of the trunk and branches with a soft brush. Let it dry, after which, thickening the mixture a little, apply another layer, changing the brush to a hard one.
If a piece falls off during work, don’t worry. Just soak the piece with water and place it in place.
When applying the finishing layer, try to avoid a smooth surface; on the contrary, create uneven surfaces with a knife to create the effect of tree bark.
Landing
Most often, such decorative trees are “planted” in a pot, ceramic tray, or placed on a stand, traditionally using a glue gun or plaster mixture.
Finishing
Using acrylic paints, we give the trunk and branches the necessary natural color, playing with shades and tints, or painting everything in one color. Remember that you need to apply paint with a hard brush using wide, superficial strokes.
We place our tree in a beautiful ceramic pot on plaster. We decorate the soil with pebbles, special sand and several acorn beads.
That's it, our beaded oak is ready.
Making an apple tree using beading technique with diagrams
We will need:
- Wire;
- Pink beads - 50 g;
- Green beads - 15 g;
- Thread for winding;
- Plaster or alabaster;
- PVA;
- Brown paint;
- Pot.
Mix all the pink and green beads. On a wire 70 cm long, mark with a loop a distance of 15 cm from the edge. Let's collect beads, twist loops of 5 beads half a centimeter from each other, twist the petioles. Let's reach the mark and complete the weaving. Twist the workpiece and fold it in half. Let's give the loops a shape. For our sakura we will weave another 53 pieces. Let's distribute them into nine different groups of six blanks. Let's twist it. Let's make the main branch by twisting three large pieces. Three side branches (each with two blanks). Sequentially screw the side branches to the main one. Wrap the branches and trunk with thread (you can use masking tape or floral tape). We pour plaster into the flowerpot and secure the tree, initially making a loop at the end of the trunk. Fill the soil with the remaining beads (coated with glue). Let's paint the trunk and branches. Our blooming apple tree is ready!
