How to make a house of your own matches from the matches: the simplest models and the description of their manufacture in our two master classes

Matches are excellent hand-made material, from which wonderful hand-crafted items are made that can be performed together with the children. In this article, the master classes with step-by-step instructions will be presented, thanks to which it will not be difficult to understand how to make a house of your own. Two variants of creating such an article will be described. The essence of the first option is that the elements in the structure are combined without the use of glue, and the second option involves folding the hut with the glue of the pva.

Training videos

This article will offer a selection of videos in which the masters share their experience and present several options for folding houses. A simple version of making such an article will be demonstrated. It will also be shown how you can make a more complex construction, that is, a large house. In addition, examples of ready-made works made of matches will be presented.

Method 1: without glue

Below is a master class that will be useful for beginning masters, as it will describe the basic principles of work when folding a match house without the use of glue. We will need matches, a bit of plasticine, which will be used as a basis, as well as a coin.

The folding scheme is as follows: first you need to place on the piece of plasticine two matches parallel to each other at a distance of two centimeters, so you get the first layer. The second and third layers are laid perpendicular to each other, both layers consist of eight matches. Since the house is stacked without glue, it is important to observe this rule in the process of work: in order for the base of the house to be strong, the matches in each row should be laid in parallel at the same distance between them.

After this, six times, it is necessary to repeat the following procedure: lay four matches at the edges of the base. Then you need to lay two more rows perpendicular to each other, one layer must consist of eight matches, the other - of six. In order to make the house more durable, you have to squeeze the resulting design with a coin, and in the corners and around the perimeter you need to insert matches. Then you need to press on the vertical matches so that they appear on the other side of the house. After this, the house must be turned over and the matches inserted vertically on four sides. Next, the matches must be laid horizontally to make a roof. All stages of work are shown in the photo.

Method 2: with glue

Next, the instructions for making a match house using glue will be presented. Work will require matches, glue and a cardboard sheet, which will serve as the basis.

First you need to lay out a sheet of cardboard, then you should put two matches in parallel, after removing sulfur from them. Then two more matches must be laid on this layer. At the intersection of matches, you should drop a little glue. Likewise, rows must be stacked until the height of the house reaches the desired height. After this, you can proceed to the formation of the ceiling, for this, starting from the middle, you must put the matches in a row.

In order to get a roof, you need to lay nineteen matches in a certain way, then put two matches, cleaned of sulfur and smeared on one side with glue, on top. Since the roof consists of two halves, it is necessary to make one more of the same construction. On the one hand, each of the halves must be cleaned with sulfur. Then the halves of the roof should be connected.

At the final stage, you need to turn the house over and glue the last matches of the ceiling with glue, then attach the roof, and the hack is ready.
