A sofa made of paper using the origami technique can be placed in a dollhouse, and thanks to the different colors of the material, you can choose the shade of the upholstery to match the interior of the room. Creating such a product is completely simple. Therefore, you can make a sofa using the origami technique with your children. For small dolls you should take paper 10 x 10 cm, and for standard Barbies - at least 20 x 20 cm.

• Square type paper sheet

Step by step photo lesson:

Fold the sheet in half.

Now let's open it again and bend it in half on the other side. As a result, we get two auxiliary folds.

We bend the lower part in half towards the horizontal fold line.

Then fold it in half again to the same line. We open it and additional three fold lines are formed on the bottom of the square.

We bend one strip up, and then again.

Now you should put the triangles on the sides. To do this, bend the side parts down diagonally.

Raise up bottom part paper.

Fold the top of the paper towards the horizontal center fold line, closing the corners.

Turn the workpiece over.

Fold the bottom corners up one at a time.

Bend the top corners down diagonally.

Turn the workpiece over.

Holding the left side of the workpiece with your fingers

Bend the top corner inward.

Let's do the same on the other side.

Fold the bottom edge towards the middle, holding the side corners. This is how we will make the back of the sofa.

We turn the paper product over and straighten the legs of the sofa.

Let's turn it over again. We straighten all the corners and sides of the craft. Our origami paper sofa is ready!

Master classes on creating furniture for dolls: detailed instructions for your creativity

Any mother knows: her daughter’s best friend is a doll. This means that you will have to make every effort to create a worthy home for your princess’s favorite toy. And you can’t do without furniture filling. We offer you several master classes that will tell you how to make furniture for Barbie, Monster High dolls, Winx dolls, baby dolls and so on with your own hands, and all you have to do is choose the appropriate option.

DIY furniture for dolls from boxes

We offer you two simple options making miniature furniture from cardboard boxes. We will do dressing table and a chest of drawers.

For making dressing table we will need:

• small carton(hair dye packaging is suitable);
• scissors or stationery knife;
• ruler and pencil;
• foil;
• glue;
• white or colored paper for pasting finished product.

First, determine how high the future table will be so that the doll can comfortably sit in front of it. If you are making furniture for a doll standard height(Barbie, Monster High, Winx and so on), it can be 6-8 cm. Cut the box at this height.

Cut a flat piece of cardboard from the rest of the box (a blank for a mirror), the width of which matches the width of the table and has a height of 15-16 cm. Lubricate it with glue and attach it to the base.

Decorate the upper edge of the future mirror with curly openwork patterns or simply make it round.

Cover the table with the mirror with white or colored paper.

Decorate the blank with drawn doors and drawers (they will not open or pull out). You can also decorate the walls of the table and the place for the mirror with any patterns.

The final touch: you need to cut it out of foil " mirror"and handles for drawers and doors, and stick them on the designated places.

Advice! Complete the dressing table with cardboard crib, made in the same style (for example, you can decorate its headboard with patterns similar to the decor of the table and mirror). This will help to decorate the interior of the doll's bedroom in a single key.

Connect with each other matchboxes using glue so that their drawers slide out. When the furniture is ready, cover it with decorative paper.

As you can see, it is very easy to make furniture for dolls from cardboard with your own hands, and at the same time it looks just as beautiful as the purchased one.

DIY furniture for plywood dolls

We offer you a simple master class on making a round coffee table for a doll.

To make it you will need:

• plywood;
• a device for cutting plywood (for example, a jigsaw);
• glue;
• varnish or acrylic paint.

First you need to cut out two identical round element(table surface and shelf), as well as legs and stands for the shelf. Next, connect them together using glue, as shown in the diagrams we provided, and cover them with varnish or paint.

DIY furniture for dolls made of wood

We invite you to make a puppet sofa made of wood and fabric. To do this we need the following:

• flat wooden planks about 1 cm thick;
• wood cutting tool;
• glue;
• fabric for pasting.

Cut out five elements of the future sofa: the base (H6 cm * D16.4 cm), the same back and bottom (H6 cm * D14 cm) and two armrests that gradually widen towards the top (H4 cm * D6 cm below * D7 cm above).

Glue them together (except for the bottom).

Cut out fabric elements of similar sizes and glue them onto a wooden piece.

Separately cover the bottom of the sofa with fabric and place it on the base.

DIY furniture for paper dolls

To make a miniature paper doll table with a top made of mosaics, we need:

• very thick paper or cardboard for the base;
• ruler;
• awl;
• scissors/stationery knife;
• colored plain cardboard for mosaics;
• toothpicks or wooden skewers;
• thick threads;
• glue.

First of all, cut it out of cardboard or thick paper base for the tabletop. Its sizes can be any. Use an awl to make small holes on it in the corners for the legs, and on the four sides for the stands that you will need to decorate the table with weaving.

Cut small squares of the same size from colored cardboard to decorate the table. Stick them on top part tabletops in the form of a mosaic.

Insert toothpicks or skewers into the holes and secure them with a small amount of glue. Weave the table legs in a spiral with threads, the edges of which are secured with glue.

Glue the end of a thick thread to the underside of the tabletop near one of the racks. Start braiding the legs and uprights, passing the thread alternately under them and then over them. Make sure that the weaves of threads are located tightly, but do not tighten the racks too much, as this can lead to deformation of the finished product. Braid the table as much as you want, then decorate the lower and upper edges of the weaving with a decorative braid made from the same threads.
