Do-it-yourself doll furniture - setting up a house for dolls. Doll wardrobe

Arranging a doll's room is a fun activity for both the child and the parents. Of course, miniature tables, cribs and armchairs can be bought in a toy store, but they sometimes cost more than the doll itself. But in order to create an environment with your own hands, no investment is required, and the interior can turn out even more interesting than the one offered by professional toy designers. How to make a doll closet? Some options will be discussed in our article.

What kind of closet could it be?

Dolls are like people, and they have a wide variety of furniture. For example, depending on the size of the doll and the materials at hand, you can make different pieces of furniture for storing things and clothes:

  • Chiffonier. A wardrobe is a closet for dresses, coats and other items of a doll's wardrobe. It is rectangular in shape and has doors and a crossbar inside. You can even make a wardrobe from several compartments - a large one with doors and smaller ones with drawers, and glue a “mirror” to the inside or outside of the door.
  • Dresser. The chest of drawers consists of a table top surrounded by many drawers - they can be on the bottom, side, or even on top.
  • A hanger. The simplest clothes hanger consists of several crossbars, but you can make it differently - in the form of a panel on which miniature hooks are attached.
  • Cupboard for dishes. A doll cupboard for dishes is similar to a wardrobe, but inside it does not have a crossbar, but shelves.

What will you need?

Making a doll cabinet with your own hands is not at all difficult, but first you need to look at what materials and tools you have. You will need:

  • cardboard boxes - for shoes, juice or milk;
  • ordinary cardboard;
  • corrugated cardboard;
  • pieces of plywood;
  • pieces of self-adhesive film;
  • colored paper;
  • acrylic paints or gouache;
  • beads;
  • small buttons;
  • hooks for clothes;
  • miniature door hinges;
  • scissors;
  • jigsaw;
  • hacksaw;
  • ruler;
  • shoe knife;
  • PVA glue;
  • glue “Moment”.

In a word, you probably have a lot - these are those items that constantly accumulate in the apartment, and housewives usually do not know where to put them.

Important! The only exception is that door hinges are very small; they are rarely used. But these can be found at a craft store.

Cabinet dimensions

They depend entirely on the size of the doll:

  • For Barbie, it is best to make a closet about 30 cm high or slightly less.
  • But for Anabel, such storage for clothes will not be enough; she needs a cabinet with a height of about 45 cm, or better yet, a little more.
  • For miniature dolls, a juice box, baby food, corn flakes, etc. will be enough.
  • If your daughter has Anabelle or Baby Bon, look for a box of boots or some household appliances.
  • For large dolls, furniture can also be made of plywood.

DIY wardrobe for doll clothes made of plywood

This is the most durable option, although some skill in working with carpentry tools is required. It’s very good if you have a ready-made plywood box - for example, for cubes that have long been lost.

If there is no such box, you can quickly make one to get a doll cabinet with your own hands:

  1. Determine the dimensions - width, height and depth.
  2. Draw a large rectangle on a piece of plywood with sides equal to the height and width of the cabinet.
  3. Draw 2 rectangles, the sides of which are equal in height and depth, for the sides.
  4. Draw the “floor” and “ceiling” - their parameters are equal to the width and depth, plus allowances - on the sides adjacent to the sides, they are double the thickness of the plywood, and on the longer side - just the thickness of the plywood.
  5. Cut out the blanks with a jigsaw or small hacksaw.
  6. Clean the cuts with sandpaper.
  7. On the sidewalls, mark the locations for the holes for the crossbar - they should be located strictly symmetrically.
  8. Drill holes, but so as not to perforate the sides.
  9. Make a crossbar - coat a sheet of cardboard with glue and twist it into a tube, the length of which is slightly greater than the width of the cabinet (it should fit into the holes).
  10. Glue in the crossbar - it's best to do this right away, before everything else is assembled.
  11. Glue the sides, top and bottom panels to the back board.

Important! The wardrobe can also be made with screws or nails.

We decorate the doors

A doll's cabinet can have only one door - this is the easiest way to do it:

  1. Cut a board equal in size to the backdrop.
  2. Sand it down with sandpaper to avoid any roughness and place it on a pair of miniature door hinges.

Important! For two doors, naturally, you will need two plywood rectangles, which are 2 times smaller in width than the backdrop.

What are the handles made of?

Sometimes you can find small door handles in sewing supply stores. But they are not always sold, so we have to find a different way out of the situation.

Look at what you have in your box with various little things. Suitable for you:

  • wooden beads of suitable size;
  • pawns from an incomplete set of small chess - however, other pieces will also do, as long as they are the same;
  • if the closet is for a large doll - bingo barrels;
  • board game chips;
  • wooden buttons with “ears”.

Important! As a last resort, handles can also be made from cardboard - these are just tubes.

How to attach?

You can simply stick the handles on. True, in this case you will have to repair your creation quite often. But nothing prevents you from drilling holes and gluing the parts. This way they will hold up much better.

Other door design options

A do-it-yourself wardrobe for doll clothes does not necessarily have to be closed with plywood doors. This is furniture for play, in which there should always be at least a little room for imagination. However, these methods are also suitable for real furniture:

  • fabric curtain;
  • curtain made of thick threads.

Option 1

It is better to make a curtain from two panels, and take the kind of fabric that does not need to be sewn, like tulle, tulle and something else like that. You need:

  • 2 flaps;
  • thick, hard threads like “iris”;
  • 2 cloves;
  • hammer.

First you need to decide where the cord will be attached. Best of all – on the outside of the sidewalls:

  1. Mark the points where to drive the nails.
  2. Drive in the nails - you can instead screw in the screws that fasten the parts of a mechanical watch.
  3. Cut 2 rectangles of fabric - it is better if they are wide enough to lay them in beautiful gathers.
  4. Sew the top edges with thick threads using a basting stitch.
  5. Make the assemblies.
  6. Tie the thread on both sides to the nails.
  7. Cover the carnations with decorative overlays - for example, plywood flowers or elements made of self-adhesive film.

Option 2

You can make a curtain for a doll closet with your own hands, for example, from synthetic twine:

  1. Cut a long thread for the warp - it should be long enough to be stretched and tied.
  2. Cut a lot of threads for the curtain itself - each should be twice as long as the curtain itself.
  3. Tie short threads to the base.
  4. Attach the base to nails or screws.
  5. Trim the edge.
  6. Cover the fastenings with decorative overlays.

Important! Such a curtain can also be striped if you take threads of different colors.

Decorating the closet

There is no need to decorate a plywood wardrobe if the material has no visible flaws. You can simply varnish it. But nothing prevents you from showing your dormant design abilities.

You can decorate:

  • painting;
  • appliqué;
  • burning.

painting

To paint the sides and doors, it is best to use acrylic paints. What about the ornament? You can find something suitable on the Internet, for example, elements of a floral pattern. Next we do this:

  1. If you are not very confident in your artistic capabilities, outline the elements of the ornament with a pencil.
  2. Cover them with paint in an even layer.
  3. Apply additional lines with a thin brush - leaf veins, flower centers, tendrils.
  4. Let it all dry and varnish.

Application

It can be made from paper or self-adhesive film. This is somewhat simpler than painting:

  • It is better to take the simplest elements - circles or ovals, from which you can create an interesting floral pattern.
  • Before gluing, experiment by arranging the elements in different orders.
  • It is better to coat the paper applique on top with varnish.

Important! In the same way, you can decorate the door of a cabinet for dolls made of cardboard.

Burnt Pattern

An ancient way to decorate wooden furniture is burning. It is best to use a special device consisting of a needle and a block with a thermostat. The designs can be very different, but for miniature furniture it is better to choose ones that do not have complex plots or very small details.

How to make a doll cabinet from a box?

For such a locker you will need any cardboard box. In addition to the box itself, you will need:

  • remnants of wallpaper or colored paper;
  • empty matchboxes;
  • toothpicks, sandwich skewers;
  • wooden beads or buttons with “ears”;
  • wire;
  • paper clips;
  • foil if you want a wardrobe with a mirror.

Preparing the base

Before you make a doll cabinet from a juice box or shoe box, you need to prepare the box itself.

Option 1

We remove the lid of the shoe box, straighten it and cut off the folds - it is better to do this with a sharp knife so that the edges are smooth. From the lid you can make:

  • partition;
  • doors.

Important! If this is a partition, then for the remaining parts you will need several sheets of thick, rigid cardboard - and vice versa, respectively.

Option 2

Carefully cut off the front wall of the juice box. If the box has a round hole on the top, remove the plastic insert onto which the lid is screwed. In fact, there is no need to do anything else - the thicker the load-bearing parts, the better.

You can make a partition from the cut out front part:

  1. Fold the cut wall in half, aligning the long sides.
  2. Bend the long edges outward by 1 cm.
  3. Glue the part, but do not touch the seam allowances.
  4. Hold the septum under pressure for some time.
  5. Glue the partition into the cabinet.

Decorating the interior

You can make a hanger in one half of the cabinet, and drawers in the other. Depending on the size of the wardrobe, the following are suitable for the crossbar:

  • skewer;
  • any round wooden stick;
  • cocktail tube or paper roll.

It is best to glue it into the walls.

The other half may have drawers:

  • To do this you will need several empty matchboxes.
  • Their outer parts are simply glued one on top of the other.
  • To make the drawers easy to open, semicircular cutouts are made on the sliding parts to fit the size of a child’s finger.

Important! There may be other design solutions. If the box is tall and narrow, the drawers can be placed at the bottom. It’s worse if there are no matchboxes, but this is not a problem - you can make shelves from cardboard squares glued in several layers.

Making doors

Both doors are made the same way:

  1. Cut 4-6 strips of cardboard that are as long as the height of the closet and half as wide as the width of the doll clothes closet.
  2. Glue the strips together in 2-3 layers - glue should be spread over the entire surface.
  3. Keep the pieces under pressure until they are completely dry.
  4. Glue on handles - for example, small wooden buttons with “ears” or wooden beads.
  5. Place the doors on miniature hinges, 2 on each side.

Legs

Doll furniture can also be without legs. But if you have large beads, pawns from old small chess, or just wooden blocks of a suitable shape, why not make the toy cabinet look like a real one? The main thing is that the legs are the same and at equal distances from the corners.

A do-it-yourself doll cabinet is made from cardboard in almost the same way. You first need to glue the box from cardboard and attach the doors and other parts to it, that's all.

How to make a doll cabinet out of paper?

If you don’t have boxes or sheets of plywood on hand, you can make a doll cabinet out of paper. Don’t be surprised, even country houses are made from newspapers and old wallpaper, and they last for several years.

You will need:

  • templates;
  • wallpaper remnants;
  • newspapers;
  • PVA glue;
  • press;
  • water-based paint;
  • art paints;
  • door hinges and handles;
  • legs.

Cut out templates from cardboard for the back, doors, sides, top and bottom panels:

  1. Using the template, cut out 10-15 blanks for each part.
  2. Glue each piece together in layers.
  3. Keep it all under pressure until it dries - the workpieces should turn out straight and dense.
  4. Assemble a doll cabinet in the same way as one made from a box.
  5. Paint it with water-based paint.
  6. Paint with artistic paints - for example, wood, or make a painting.
  7. Cover the top with varnish.
  8. Attach the doors and legs.

How to make a doll's wardrobe from matchboxes?

From boxes you can glue:

  • Kitchen Cabinet;
  • dresser.

Option 1

For the kitchen cabinet you will need 5-10 empty matchboxes:

  • Remove the “boxes” from the “lids”.
  • Stick several “lids” on top of each other.
  • Cover the sides and top surface with self-adhesive film - white, gray, cream and other “kitchen” colors.

Important! The same film can be used to cover those parts of the “boxes” that will be visible from the outside, but these parts can also be painted with gouache.

  • Make cutouts in the “drawers” ​​for the finger.
  • Insert the “drawers” ​​into the “lids”.
  • Glue the legs.

Option 2

For a chest of drawers you need the number of boxes, which is divided by 3:

  1. Glue the 3 “covers” together with sidewalls.
  2. Glue the rest in threes too.
  3. Glue the tiers together.
  4. The sides and top can be covered with brown self-adhesive film.

Important! You can also make a chest of drawers with a mirror. To do this you need a piece of cardboard and a sheet of foil. Cut out a blank of any shape from cardboard, for example, a semicircular one, cover it with film to match the color of the chest of drawers, and attach a “mirror” made of foil in the middle.

How to make a doll hanger out of paper?

Doll hangers, like human ones, can be of different types. For example, in the form of a crossbar lying on two supports. To do this you need:

  • paper (you can take old wallpaper).
  • PVA glue;
  • metal knitting needle (as a template, but you can do without it).

Hanger in the shape of the letter P

How to make a paper doll hanger?

  1. Place the sheet of paper with the wrong side up.
  2. Coat it well with glue.
  3. Roll up the tube.
  4. Do the same with two more sheets.
  5. Determine which tube will be the crossbar and which will be the supports.
  6. Glue the entire structure in the shape of the letter P.

Important! If the edges are smooth, the hanger will stand as is. But you can make it more stable by drilling holes in two cubes and gluing the ends of the supports into them.

Hanger with hooks

The base for it is made in the same way as for a paper cabinet, that is, several layers for the main part are cut out according to the template. The layers are glued together and held under pressure. The process then goes like this:

Are you convinced that making a doll closet and filling it can be very simple, from scrap materials? Now start getting creative, the process will probably be exciting and interesting for you. And don’t forget to involve your child in it - let him also bring in a couple of his creative ideas.

Every owner of at least one doll has a dream that her beloved Barbie would have a real home with furniture, household appliances and, of course, a wardrobe. Now Barbie dolls are sold with large sets of dresses and all kinds of outfits. Of course, they need to be put somewhere.

Of course, the most durable option for a doll cabinet will be a product made of wood or plywood. Such a cabinet will cost much more than a cardboard one, but will last for several years.

But if it is not possible to buy a ready-made toy cabinet, then you can easily make it from scrap materials. You just need to use your imagination and devote a little time. Any girl will be delighted with her doll's new cabinet, which she made with her own hands or with the help of her parents.

Attention, TODAY only!


Lately, children's toys have cost incredible amounts of money! All these Barbie, Bratz and Monster High dolls require more than just clothes and shoes for themselves - the dolls need their own real house with real doll furniture.

And it is quite natural that parents begin to ask questions such as: “How to make a wardrobe for dolls?”

We make it ourselves

You can make doll furniture with your own hands, without resorting to the help of craftsmen or buying it in a store. The most important thing is that you can create a doll's closet from available materials, which you probably have in every home.

To create a closet for a toy house you will need:

  1. Cardboard box or shoe box;
  2. Scissors;
  3. Glue;
  4. Sandpaper;
  5. Acrylic paints or gouache;
  6. Sheets of colored paper;
  7. Glue "Moment";
  8. Pliers;
  9. Stickers and cut-outs for decoupage, scrapbooking;
  10. Wire.


Making furniture blanks will only take a few minutes. As a rule, cardboard boxes are closed with 4 wings.




  • You need to cut off 2 shorter wings, leaving 2 long ones. Thus, you make a blank for the wardrobe.
  • Roll up a thick roll of paper up to 5 millimeters in diameter. Cut 4 pieces from it, each up to 5 millimeters high. Using glue, attach the blanks to the edges of the bottom of the cabinet - these are the legs.
  • A short wing can be mounted inside a future wardrobe, creating a small upper compartment for hats and bags or a lower one for shoes.
  • Cut points and other irregularities must be thoroughly sanded with sandpaper.
  • Make door handles. Cut 2 identical pieces of short length wire and bend them 2 times each. On the middle side, bordered by the fold, wind bright threads or roll paper.
  • Carefully make a hole in the cabinet doors with the protruding points of the wire blanks, thread them through and bend them using pliers on the inside of the door so that there is a small distance between the handle and the door at the front.
  • Cover the workpiece with paint of the color you like or with colored paper.
  • Now use your imagination and decorate your newly made cabinet at your discretion using stickers, cutouts and drawings.

Advice: involve your child in the decorating process - a good mood and a flight of imagination are guaranteed.

Furniture to boot

Often there are so many doll clothes that they cannot be placed in just one closet. In this case, you can make several other furniture analogues of the doll wardrobe with your own hands.

  • Dresser

A doll chest of drawers is prepared as simply as a wardrobe. Take several matchboxes (usually 3-5) and glue them together. After this, wrap it in thick paper, paint the composition in the desired color and decorate it at your discretion.

  • Hanger

Your daughter will really like this part of the doll decor - similar hangers are used in star locker rooms.

Take a small oblong box and attach it vertically along the crossbar parallel to each other on its 2 shorter sides. Stretch another crossbar between them. Decorate the composition.

Hang several hangers on the horizontal bar for a more natural look.

When buying a doll for your child, do not forget that you will need clothes, a house and furniture. To provide Barbie with everything she needs, you need to spend a large amount of money. In order to save money, you can make a wardrobe for Barbie yourself, because the result, under certain conditions, will be better than the store-bought one.

Before you make a doll cabinet with your own hands, you need to prepare the necessary materials:

  • cardboard box;
  • cardboard;
  • white paper;
  • paints;
  • wooden small sticks;
  • scissors;
  • glue;
  • rulers, pencils;
  • paper clips;
  • matchboxes;
  • miniature hinges, screws.

It is better to use acrylic paints in your work. They contain no toxic components and are therefore safe for children. To make the furniture look unique and beautiful, you will need decoration materials.

Preparing parts

Having the necessary materials and tools, we can make furniture parts. Barbie has a lot of things, shoes, purses, and often there is nowhere to put them. For this reason, a closet even with two sections will be impractical. In order for all the doll clothes to fit, they need to be laid out on shelves or drawers. To do this, the furniture should be equipped with a large number of medium and large compartments in order to accommodate long fluffy dresses. The main compartment should be equipped with shelves. In Barbie's closet you can hang hanger holders that are easy to make with your own hands. The work is painstaking and requires concentrated attention. In order not to be distracted, all parts should be located near the workplace.

Assembly

Since we took cardboard as a basis, it will not take much time to assemble a piece of furniture. It takes place in several stages:

  • cut off the top part of the cardboard box, glue the edges of the box to form the base of the doll's wardrobe;
  • for a presentable look, paste the resulting base with plain white paper;
  • cardboard is not a strong material, so the cabinet needs to be strengthened. We cut out rectangular parts from cardboard, the height and width of which are equal to the parameters of the interior of the furniture being manufactured;
  • we paste the cut out parts with paper, then glue them to the walls of the future cabinet;
  • An important step when assembling furniture is the door, because doll things should not fall out of the closet. We also make it from two pieces of cardboard, the same height as the cabinet itself. The door should open and close freely. We take small hinges and attach them from the inside to the base, and then to future doors. If the process is not entirely clear, you can watch it on video.
  • The last step in the assembly is the door handles. You can make them from anything, for example, use small screws or cogs.

It is better to install doors after installing all the necessary parts in the cabinet.

Connecting identical parts

We attach the wire to part 1a using tape

Glue element 1b over the tape using “Moment”

All parts of series 1, which are shelves, are attached in an identical way

Marking part 3a for shelves

We attach the shelf itself and make notes with a marker in the place where the wire will pass

Use thin scissors or a thick needle to make holes on these marks.

The edge of the shelves is coated with glue

The wire is passed through the holes

The wire is tied on the reverse side

All other wires are attached in the same way

We attach element 2a to the back side of the shelves in exactly the same way

We apply two wires parallel to the same part in a vertical position and fasten with tape

Lubricate with glue, attach 2b and use the press again

We also equip elements 4a and 4b with wires horizontally and vertically, and glue them together

At the top of element 2 we make a small opening

In part four we make the same hole opposite and insert a twelve-centimeter kebab stick into them

At the bottom of the cabinet, called 5a, we mark the places where the wires from the walls will pass and pierce

We tie them in knots on the reverse side

Lubricate the part, apply 5b on top and use paper clips

Now we go to the top of the cabinet (elements 5b and 5c) and do the same work. On the back wall (6a) we mark the walls and shelves, and make holes in the places for the wire

The creation of the cabinet is completed; now we need to finish the cabinet. To do this, take a napkin, lubricate it with PVA and glue the inside of the cabinet

In the front part it is necessary to leave one and a half centimeters “bare” for attaching the doors

Cut the napkin to size and cover the outside of the furniture on all sides.

For the ends you can use “Moment”, since with “PVA” the material may break

Filling installation

The closet needs to be divided into shelves and compartments to make it spacious:

  • we measure the height of the furniture, then make plates out of cardboard, which we used to strengthen the base, then glue them into the cabinet;
  • measure the width and depth inside the compartments, cut out the shelves in the shape of a square or rectangle. We cover them with white paper and glue them between the divisions;
  • The hanger holder is made from a wooden stick. Cover it with acrylic paint and glue it between the two divisions.

Hangers can be made from ordinary paper clips, which can also be painted in any color.

The cabinet can be equipped with drawers. Matchboxes are perfect for this. There are many videos that clearly show the assembly. In a short period of time, you have a do-it-yourself Barbie wardrobe ready.

We cut out the doors, cover them with a napkin and place a mirror on one of them

Using wire and beads we make accessories

At the bottom of the cabinet we glue a ten-centimeter kebab stick

We do the same on top, as shown in the photo.

All girls love to play with Barbie dolls, and they need clothes, shoes, a house and even furniture. Of course, all this can be purchased in a store, but nothing can replace the joint creativity of parents and children. This pastime will help you get closer to your child and teach him teamwork. In this master class you will learn how to make a wardrobe for a doll from scrap materials with your own hands, which can be found in any home. Plus, it's not difficult at all.

Your cabinet will look different from a store-bought one, but it will be made with care and love. The child will be pleased to appreciate his contribution to the craft, and he will happily play with dolls with the resulting furniture.

We assemble a practical wardrobe for a doll with our own hands in a master class

Most likely, everything you need can be found in every home. If not, you can take care of this in advance and buy the missing items. All the necessary materials are cheap, so there is no need to worry about the costs of making a doll clothes closet. So, you will need:

  • unnecessary cardboard box;
  • scissors;
  • glue;
  • gouache or acrylic paints;
  • colored paper;
  • glue "Moment";
  • sandpaper;
  • small coil of wire;
  • pliers;
  • stickers for decoupage or beautiful cutouts from magazines for decoration.

Having collected all the necessary materials, you can begin to create a doll cabinet from a box. If you strictly follow all the points in this master class, you can easily make beautiful furniture for dolls. So let's get started.

  • You will need a very ordinary cardboard box, which has 4 wings covering it. The box needs to be opened and only the wings on the long sides should be left, the short ones should be cut off and glued inside as a cabinet shelf or an upper compartment for hats and scarves.
  • Then roll up a thick paper roll with a diameter of 3-4mm and cut it into 4 pieces - these will be the legs of the cabinet. Select their length yourself and glue them to the bottom plane of the wardrobe using Moment glue.
  • All resulting irregularities must be well sanded so that the child does not get scratched and the craft looks neat.
  • Cabinet doors are made of thick wire or thin wire folded several times. You need to cut two identical pieces, bend them into 3 parts (if the wire is thin, first fold it into tight bundles), so that the middle part is directly the handle itself, and the other two are fasteners. Wrap them with fabric or paper, leaving the ends of the wire exposed so you can attach the handles to the doors.
  • Punch holes in the cabinet walls with the ends of the handle blanks, thread them through and bend the ends with pliers so that there is space between the handle and the cabinet door. After this, you need to cover the workpiece with paint or paste it with colored paper, and decorate it at your discretion. The wardrobe for doll clothes is ready!

What else can and should even be used to make a doll’s wardrobe?

If you don’t have a box at home, you can make furniture from cardboard, which is sold in sets in stationery stores, or from a regular sheet of Whatman paper. Such crafts will be more fragile, but will take a little less time. There are many schemes by which you can fold a cabinet using thick paper and sleight of hand. For example, this one:

However, if you want to make a very serious structure that will last for many years and will be inherited, a wardrobe for Monster High dolls can be made from plywood. Of course, it will take more time and require more effort, but the result will be worth it. The resulting furniture can also be painted in any desired color, and then you can start decorating it. As a result, you will receive a unique wardrobe for doll clothes with your own design! Is not that great?
