Bed

An integral attribute of any gameplay of a girl with a doll is a bed. This master class will step by step teach little craftswomen how to make doll furniture with their own hands using the most ordinary cardboard:

1. First, we make a drawing of the future bed on a sheet of cardboard. We lay the doll on cardboard to measure the length. We measure the full growth and add about 5 cm. We measure the width of the crib, it can be anything. It depends on the personal desires of the craftswoman. We respectively draw a rectangle of the required size, cut it out with scissors or a clerical knife in the amount of 3 pieces;
2. Next we design the railing. They should be the width of the bedroom place. The length may be different, but be sure one back is longer than the other. Cut also 3 pieces;
3. In order for the backs to be stronger and more stable, they will need to be glued and put under the press until completely dry;
4. On the blank of a sleeping place with a bed, a wire cut in advance (length of a sleeping place plus 3-5 cm) also in the amount of 3 pieces, a little more is possible. Attach to the base with tape;
5. From above, on the base with a fixed wire, glue the remaining workpieces. Also put under pressure until completely dry;
6. After all the details dry out, we attach the glued railing to the bedroom place, mark the line of attachment with a pencil. Especially in those places where they come into contact with the wire. We make holes with an awl or a thick needle;
7. Pour some glue into the holes obtained, stretch the wire in them, leaning the blanks tightly against each other. The ends of the wire are fastened together or connected together. We cut off the excess edges.

The bed frame is ready, it remains only to decorate it. To decorate such a bed for Barbie with your own hands is also not difficult. It can be glued on top with colored or plain white paper. Just paint it with some jewelery. It will be beautiful to fit it with a scrap of fabric, and you can make bedding in tone.

Depending on the idea, the kitchen can be open, then all furniture made by hand from paper can be placed anywhere, and can be moved as desired. If you plan to create hanging cabinets, then you need to fix them somewhere. So it will be necessary to make the back wall of cardboard. Cabinets themselves can be easily made from simple matchboxes, combining them several in a row or one at a time.

You can use other small boxes of cardboard, cut through the doors in them, paste them on top with paper or just paint them in your favorite color. Handles made of jewelry wire and beads.
