Game house for a child

Each kid dreams of his own shelter house, where he can hide from adults. And to make their own hands such houses - crafts made of cardboard boxes - for children will not be difficult. So, it will be required:

• large cardboard box;
• Scotch tape;
• stationery knife.

Take the box and unfold it as shown in the picture. We cut the top part.

Put the box on its side and glue the sides.

Turn the box over again, apply the adhesive tape in the place indicated by the arrows on the photo.

Let's make a roof for the house. The parts cut off earlier are glued together with adhesive tape.

We fix the roof to the walls.

In the places indicated by the dotted line, we cut the box.

And now connect the arrows.

You can put a pillow and a blanket in it, and the entrance can be curtained.

Hedgehogs from egg trays

It is also possible to use egg trays with advantage. For example, together with a child you can make such a nice hedgehog.

Materials:

• packing paper;
• egg trays;
• PVA or hot melt;
• paint in can or acrylic;
• black beads.

Make a tight cone about 15 cm long from the packaging paper.

Cut the tray and from one cell make a hedgehog face.

We glue the face to the cone.

The next step is the needles. Cut them out also from the trays.

We glue them to the cone-trunk, starting from the head.

From the side of the cell we cut out the legs, from the lower part - the ears, and from the tip - the spout.

It remains very little - to paint the hedgehog with silver paint, and the nose and paws - brown, glue the eye-beads.

Here's a cute hedgehog coming from cardboard boxes.

Crafts from packages from milk, juice and kefir

The simplest piece of art that can be made from a milk box is a bird feeder. To do this, simply cut a hole from one, two or all four sides, and attach a rope or wire to the top to attach it to the tree. Now you can decorate it or leave it as it is.

In a similar way, a well is made, only the bottom is made higher. Also, you need to insert a wand for the gate, tie the thread and attach a miniature bucket.

You can also make doll houses: cut the "facade", make overlapping, glue on the outside and inside with beautiful paper and the house is ready.

Cask of garbage

You can make a beautiful casket from boxes of sweets . This is not a shame and present as a gift, and store your jewelry in it is also very cool.

• cardboard;
• bright and plain fabric;
• leather belts;
• buckles;
• knitted braid;
• is a dense gold color foil;
• universal adhesive.

We take the boxes, we paste the sides of the cardboard to the covers.

We glue the parts together.

Remove the dimensions from the outside of the box and cut out pieces of fabric for the top, bottom side and sides, making an allowance of 5 mm.

We are pasting.

Cut 4 pieces without allowances from a plain dark fabric.

They glue the box inside.

We add decor. From the golden foil we cut out the circles, cut out the segment and decorate the corners.

The straps are decorated with braid, fastening the buckles.

We glue them to the casket.

Such a casket can be made from candy boxes.

Of the boxes for matches

Interesting crafts that can be made with children, are obtained from matchboxes.

For example, here is a giraffe - it's easy to do, just folding 7 boxes, pasting the design with colored paper and decorating.

And you can make a whole zoo. To do this, we paint the boxes in the appropriate color and glue the merry face of the animal.

A sweet confession of love for each day will be "valentine" from the box, inside of which you can put some goodness or a pleasant trifle.

Interesting fur-tree toys will turn out if you decorate boxes pasted with paper with felt faces of Santa Claus, Rudolph, Christmas elf or bunny. Be creative to make a toy Snow Maiden and Snowman.
