Scheme for the house

Step 1. Draw a template for a gingerbread house on a piece of paper (see photo).

Step 2. Cut out the parts of the house.

Preparing the dough

Step 1. Sift the flour through a sieve.

Step 2. Melt honey in water just brought to a boil. Cool the mixture to a temperature of 40 degrees (not lower than 39 degrees) and add half of the sifted flour, mix everything thoroughly with a wooden spatula, avoiding the appearance of lumps.

Hello, dear readers! Before the main New Year's celebration, the question often arises: how to create a festive mood?! In fact, everything is elementary, start preparing for the New Year, the pre-holiday bustle is so “dragging” that there is simply no time left for depression. Moreover, if you slowly start decorating your home, the festive mood will not keep you waiting! We remind you that we recently studied and also studied the topic (we recommend reading), but today we will “build” a house, or rather a house! In this review, we will look in detail at how to make a winter house for a Christmas tree with your own hands. In principle, this decorative house It doesn’t have to be placed under the Christmas tree; it will look great on a windowsill, mantel, flower stand, table, etc. Moreover, this craft will not take up a lot of your time, and upon completion it will delight you with its excellent appearance! We will get such a decorative house with our own hands as a result:

How to make a house craft.

For work you need to prepare the following materials:

✓ Foam thin sheet(backing for laminate) or thick cardboard;

✓ Pencil;

✓ Ruler;

✓ Scissors;

✓ Stationery knife;

✓ Transparent glue moment;

✓ Spray can with gold paint;

✓ PVA glue;

✓ Rhinestones and small beads.

We draw a house blank on plain paper (you can see blank templates below). It is necessary to prepare the following number of parts: floor 1 piece, side walls 2 pieces, end and rear walls 1 piece each, roof 2 slopes.

Below are the cut out blanks of the house, please note that the dimensions are indicated on each sheet (when creating your own house, you can be guided by these parameters).

We cut out the blanks with scissors, apply them to a sheet of cardboard or foam plastic, trace them with a pencil, and cut out the real details of the house using a stationery knife. Next we cut out the windows and door. We glue all the parts of the house into a single whole.

Let's get down to the details, draw a chimney on paper (see photo), cut it out and glue it, then apply it to one of the roof slopes and use a pencil to create a mark - the level of inclination of the chimney, cut off the excess paper along this line, glue our chimney, apply the template to the foam plastic sheet, trace with a pencil, cut out all the details, and then glue them into a single whole. Glue the resulting chimney to the roof.

The door can be made to open using paper tape, we cut a hole for the door in one of the walls of the house, glue pieces of paper tape to the door leaf, with which we glue the door to the house, we get a kind of door hinges that allow the door to open. On this product the door does not open, it is simply glued to the wall of the house.

Thresholds. We draw the future thresholds on plain paper, cut them out, apply the template to a foam sheet, trace with a pencil, cut out the parts, which we then glue together to form steps. We glue the resulting thresholds to the wall with the door.

We paint the house gold using a can of spray paint. ATTENTION: if you took a sheet of foam plastic as a basis, like ours, then paint the house with long distance– layers, i.e. Apply one barely noticeable layer, leave the product until completely dry, after an hour apply the second layer, after another hour - the third layer. Perhaps even two layers will be enough! The fact is that spray paint corrodes the foam; if you rush, it will simply “melt” your house.

Additionally, you can make a ladder, cut out two strips 10 cm long, 8 mm wide, and rungs 8 mm wide, 2 cm long. Glue and paint the product.

Let's start with the decorative part, pour PVA glue, slightly diluted with plain water, into a saucer, create small layers of cotton wool, which we immerse in the adhesive solution, after which we glue it to the roof of the house, simultaneously forming small folds (simulating snow caused by a blizzard). Don’t forget to cover the chimney, partially the walls and the lower part of the house in this way. A winter house will look more harmonious if you use a little “snow” (cotton wool).

We leave the product until the PVA glue is completely dry (usually it dries completely overnight), after which we glue rhinestones and small beads to the roof slopes; in addition, they can be dispersed over the surface of the walls and thresholds.

As you can see, making a house craft with your own hands is not difficult, and the result is truly impressive. And if you put an LED candle in the house, then at night it will beckon with a warm light! As for the decor, here you can show all your creative potential, cut out a bench, a stepladder, a well from paper, put up a fence, “plant” a couple of Christmas trees, “blind” a snowman or a snow fortress from cotton wool, and also place Santa Claus’s sleigh near the threshold, like we considered making such a sleigh in, in which, by the way, many more are presented interesting ideas for making Christmas tree decorations from paper.

The height of the decorative house turned out to be 22.5 cm, the “snow” looks very natural, the rhinestones create the effect of snowflakes shimmering in the sun, and the golden undertone of the product looks great when exposed to artificial or natural light!

Dear readers, now you know how to make a craft house. I hope you liked the Christmas tree house and will decorate the interior of your apartment with such a cute craft! Don’t forget to subscribe to receive the latest news from the “Comfort in the Home” website.

The first stage of our work will be the production of small winter houses, of which it will consist. Children can make a winter house with their own hands from any box or piece of cardboard,

but we propose to take as a basis from toilet paper and paper cups for cakes and muffins.

What are we doing:

We paint each bushing in White color. You can cover them with white paper.

We draw windows and doors on it and, if desired, cut them along the contour with a stationery knife.

Since we plan exactly winter craft, a winter house must be snow-covered. Therefore, we apply PVA glue to places where snow usually accumulates - window cornices, the bottom of the walls - and sprinkle them with glitter.

We glue the roof - the paper cake tin will take on its role.

We decorate the roof with patterns of snow - that is, sparkles, pouring them generously onto strips of PVA glue.

Using this principle we make several different houses. If the town is being made within the walls, you can offer to make your own house for each child. We make a composition of houses on the surface of a table, shelf or on a large box.

Well, ours is almost ready: the winter houses are lined up, but the city still seems deserted. Therefore, we fill it with inhabitants: we make several cute snowmen from cotton wool, padding polyester or wool for felting. Even kids can cope with this task.

We bring our people into the city - and the picture simply comes to life!

Now the winter town really looks joyful and lifts our spirits.

But for most it is still entertaining and creative process, as well as the opportunity to spend time with your child with interest.

It is important to keep natural materials in stock in accordance with the season, and then any task for the production of work will not be taken by surprise.

Reserves of natural material

When traveling to the sea, you can collect small stones and shells. When walking in nature, stock up on beautiful leaves, pine cones and twigs. On summer cottage You can plant decorative pumpkins - this is a good raw material for products that can be stored for a long time.

You can store the leaves in a book. It is better to keep the cones in the oven and pour boiling water over them, thereby destroying all the bugs. It’s also better not to throw away toilet paper or paper towel cartons, and save plastic bottles with caps. Make room for these items by placing everything neatly in a box.

Crafts for kindergarten- this is what the child must cook with his own hands. The degree of difficulty is determined based on the age category.

With skillful direction, the child will be able to create an applique, a drawing, or mold a plasticine product on his own. Using natural materials in the form of leaves and cones.

The do-it-yourself craft ideas for kindergarten below will tell you how best to use non-standard tools, for example, pasta or plastic dishes.

Plastic bottles can already be classified as standard materials; the possibilities for working with them are endless. Use matches, napkins, and sushi chopsticks, they are all great tools.

Products in the autumn version can be executed as compositions or as independent work. Perky hedgehogs, old forest men or alien creatures in a flying saucer - all this can be done with children's hands using raw materials given by nature.

Winter style products

In winter we have associations New Year's holidays, and also don’t forget about Defenders of the Fatherland Day.

On February 23, military-themed products will be relevant. Can be made Greeting Cards. Excellent products are made from fabric, but parents must take part in the creation, as cutting is necessary.

The body is made of fabric, and the corners at the bottom should be stitched, this is necessary for stability. Next, fill the bag with padding polyester and tighten the thread.

All that remains is to create the face. The nose can be made from a beige bead. You can use ready-made eyes or create an applique. Embroider the eyelashes and make antennae from threads tied into a bun. Add tone with blush or lipstick.

We make the hands from fleece or cloth and glue them on. As an option, attach one handle to the cap. The ideas are endless, you can complement the work with shoulder straps.

Works in autumn style

Products in the autumn style are distinguished by the fact that materials given by nature are used for production. Leaves, cones and acorns of these raw materials are in abundance in the fall, which is perfect for crafts for a kindergarten plot.

As a rule, in autumn period organize work competitions. The child can create the applique on his own with a little help from his parents.

For products made from vegetables and fruits, a knife is used, so work must be carried out strictly under supervision. Paints are often used in kindergartens. But you can also replace them with material, for example, autumn leaves will serve as stamps for creating a forest.

Note!

You can tell the kids how much their help is needed for the birds and make a feeder together.

This not only promotes creativity, but also fosters a sense of caring for animals.

In winter, the death rate of birds is very high, because due to frost it is difficult for them to survive, so care will be taken when creating the feeder.

For the feeder you need: wood, a box and plastic bottles. Wooden feeders are distinguished by their durability. But not everyone can handle this material. Cardboard is easy to use, but it will not stand up in wet weather.

In this case, the cardboard feeder can be periodically updated, and the baby will like its decoration. Plastic is the most unpretentious material. Easy to work with and will withstand rain. The work uses a breadboard knife, so the process is carried out under the guidance of adults.

Note!

Street layouts

You can create situations that convey the meaning of reality; such a game will help you master traffic on the road and study signs. Street markings can be painted on cardboard and houses can be built from boxes. Decorate the cityscape with greenery and, most importantly, make road signs and a traffic light.

Road signs can be printed from the Internet. A stand for the sign can be made from a plastic bottle cap and a sushi stick, and fastened with plasticine.

Houses can be easily created from cardboard boxes or glued together from cardboard and painted on the facade. Trees are created from cardboard or natural materials.

If you finely chop green threads and sprinkle them on cardboard, previously coated with glue, you will get grass. It is easy to create soil using grain glued to the surface.

Note!

One side has a background color, and the other has three traffic light colors. Glue a thread between the halves and the circle is easily glued so that you can rotate it to the hole on one side or the other.

Craft from bottles

Wall panels, plot compositions and toys can be made using various techniques. It's very easy to make crafts from plastic bottles for kindergarten.

You can make a baby penguin. This will require two plastic bottles, with the bottom cut to the required size. And the part is placed one inside the other. For convenience, several cuts can be made in the inner part.

With help acrylic paints color the toy. We make a pompom from threads to decorate the hat.

The scarf is made from braid or fleece; it will successfully hide the junction of the bottles. To keep the scarf stable, you can place it on glue or double-sided tape. For the wings and paws, colored paper is used.
