Do-it-yourself doll apartment, how to make a staircase. How to make a cardboard house with your own hands

Irina Sdobaeva

Demonstration aid children's works.

For work we need to take two covers from a set of colored cardboard, a cover from a sketchbook, a stapler, scissors, a pencil, a ruler, glue and colored tape.

1. Using a ruler and pencil, divide the cardboard into strips 5 cm wide as shown in the figure.

2. Fold it like a fan. These are the future steps.

3. Now let's take care of the sides of our ladder. Let's draw our cardboard as shown in the following picture.

4. Erase the extra lines and cut out two such parts. Try to get left and right. (But this is not important).

5. The 1 cm edges are bent for gluing. Now the parts steps need to be glued. I used the starter. It seemed to me that it was faster and more convenient.

6. Cover the back and bottom of the craft with a second cover of colored cardboard. Our ladder is almost ready, it stands steadily on the table.

Withstands clay crafts.

7. steps I covered it with white sheets from the album and secured the edges with colored tape. I left the sides colored. (you can also paste it over)

Our steps Ready to use in class.

Thank you for your attention.

I will be glad if you like it and find it useful work.

Publications on the topic:

On October 17-22, 2016, an exhibition of children's works "Autumn Vernissage" was organized at the preschool kindergarten No. 10. Children as young as 4 took part in it.

In December 2015, children from secondary groups “A” and “B”, together with teacher L.A. Komarova, prepared the exhibition “New Year’s Kaleidoscope”.

Photo report of the exhibition of children's creative works on the topic “Insects” While conducting conversations with children of the older group on various topics, I found out that children.

Good day, colleagues! I have been working as a teacher for a short time, just a month or so, everything is new, unusual, this is my first teaching position.

Good day. Today I and my children (second youngest group) were sculpting with plasticine. We have wonderful meadows with flowers.

“Oh, oh – our harvest is not bad!” “We brought a basket of vegetables from the garden. We will need them for salads and borscht!” T. Shorygina Autumn is one thing.

Dollhouse: second floor and stairs

We continue to build our dollhouse.

This time Anastasia ReznikovA shared how to easily implement the second floor of a dollhouse and, most importantly, how to climb it. This idea can also be useful when building a veranda on the second floor. We will still need glue, packaging cardboard and acrylic paint.

To build the second floor platform and the stairs leading to it, we will need packaging corrugated cardboard, scissors, a stationery knife, glue and paint.

We will make the stairs from two zigzag cardboard strips. These are the guides of our stairs. The steps themselves are ordinary cardboard rectangles the width of the stairs.

We glue the side of the ladder to one of the walls of the dollhouse in the place where we plan to climb to the second floor.

We make the second floor platform from a piece of cardboard and railing, also from narrow strips of cardboard. In our version, the second floor landing is planned as a curtain wall. Those. the second floor will only partially overlap the first.

All that remains is to connect our platform and stairs. We glue the platform with its ends to the walls of the dollhouse. Additionally, we install a vertical stand for reliability. We glue the stand to the side wall of the stairs.

When building a house with at least 2 floors, you definitely need to think about the stairs in it. And if the house is built with your own hands, it is logical to build the stairs as well.

Various photos of stairs help you make a preliminary choice and clearly understand what type of lift you need. But before you take on the work, carefully calculate the future structure for strength and dimensions, this will save time and money, because incorrect calculations (or lack thereof) will lead to numerous alterations of the original project.

Types of stairs

There are a large number of different options for flights of stairs. They differ in the material of manufacture (wood, concrete or metal), the type of rise (sloping staircase, spiral staircase, with a turn at a certain degree).

The most common is a wooden staircase. Staircases are also often constructed with a 90-degree turn. It is not uncommon for these two types of lifting devices to be combined into one.

In case of limited space, make a spiral staircase from metal. The screw type of lift allows you to save space, and making it from metal increases the strength of the structure. Concrete is used for stairs in massive buildings (for example, mansions).

What to pay attention to

In a low-rise building, without any construction experience, it is better to order a modular staircase, a kind of construction set, where all the parts are cut out and numbered, and all you have to do is assemble them using the instructions. This is how wooden stairs are usually made.

When building a concrete staircase, in addition to pouring the frame, you will need to perform external finishing (with beautiful stone or wood materials). It turns out to be a double waste of time and money. However, for cottages with 3 or more floors, they are mandatory according to fire safety requirements.

When making a staircase for the first time, you don’t need to jump straight into a complex structure. The simpler the model, the more likely it is that you will be able to successfully build this lifting device on the first try.

Pay attention to the angle of inclination of the stairs: if it is more than 45 degrees, the ladder will be considered an extension, and you can only go down it backwards. The optimal elevation angle is considered to be 37 degrees.

Wood is preferable as a material for construction, since, thanks to its properties, it allows you to correct minor construction flaws that arose due to inaccurate calculations and inexperience of the work performer.

Also, after construction, the building may settle due to loose soil, as a result the staircase can become several centimeters higher or lower than the floor, and it is easier to correct this in a wooden structure.

When constructing a lift with a turn towards, the distance between spans must be at least 100 mm.

Construction stages

Answering the question of how to make a staircase to the second floor with your own hands, there are several stages of construction.

The first stage of any structure, be it a staircase into a house or an interfloor staircase, is the creation of a project. Particular attention should be paid to the safety of the building and its ease of use.

The structure must support the average weight of an ordinary person with a fair margin. Be sure to use railings!

If they are not there, another fence must be designed to ensure the safety of descent and ascent.

Consider creating a wooden staircase with stringers

After you have designed your building, you need to prepare the materials. In our case, choose boards of suitable thickness and length, prepare balusters with railings and prepare stringers. This will be the second stage of construction.

A 4 cm thick pine board is suitable as a material for stringers. On it, mark the steps according to the pattern and cut them out with a jigsaw.

Note!

We use the resulting product as a sample for the second (and if the width of the staircase is more than a meter, then the third) stringer. Let's cut the required number of steps to size.

The third stage will be assembling all the parts together. First of all, the stringers are installed in their permanent locations. Then, using self-tapping screws, the steps are attached to the stringers.

Then, using pins, balusters are placed on the steps, and handrails are attached to them. The staircase is ready!

Note!

Hello, dear friends! A staircase is still a very necessary thing in a house, even if the house is a doll house. Climbing to the top floor of a bunk bed or hammering a nail into a wall is simply impossible without a ladder.

This “good” attachment staircase made of paper, but with the texture of walnut wood. The size of the ladder is chosen just such that it can be used as an alternative to a ladder made from ice cream sticks for a doll bunk bed (author - Timofeevna). However, I think it will be useful not only for dolls and babies. In the toy world of my five-year-old son, the earthworm Uncle Korney, Cheburashka and the crocodile Gena enjoy using ladders made of paper and cardboard :)

Well, now about how this is done paper miniature. Yes, in general, nothing complicated, everything is as usual: templates, developments, cutting, bending, gluing...

Download templates here:

Good wood textures (and not only wood) can be easily found on the Internet. Download the texture you like and apply it to the templates in a graphic editor (for example, Adobe Photoshop or Photoshop Elements) - the paper staircase will become “wooden.” However, you can color it however you like, and as required by the design of the doll’s interior)

We will need:

- a sheet of paper with a density of 120-160 g/m² (for greater structural strength for vertical posts (or, as they are also called, bowstrings), you can use thicker paper, but for steps it is better to use paper in a given range; I used Lomond photo paper with a density of 120 g/m²)

- ruler,

- stationery knife,

- a breadboard knife (or a knife for artistic cutting),

- a tool for scoring (if there is no special one, then - a knitting needle, a non-writing ballpoint pen, etc.),

(oh, out of habit there were scissors on the table, but I didn’t need them later)

as well as paper glue (for example, glue stick) and Super-Moment glue-gel. There are options regarding the glue - you'll figure it out in practice.

I’m not even talking about the backing for cutting paper and cardboard - it’s clear that tables need to be protected :). A toothpick will also come in handy.

So, print out the scans and cut them out. I recommend using a utility knife and ruler, as well as a craft knife for cutting out small parts by hand (scissors are not suitable for this purpose). And then we crease (press the fold lines, they are obvious here) the unfolding of the bowstrings.

Using a breadboard knife, we make cuts according to the marks in the places of future holes for the steps.

We make holes with a toothpick on each string.

We glue the bowstrings so that the edge that is closest to the holes is on the inside.

Then we glue the end flaps, tucking the tips inward.

Now let's make the steps. We first wind the cut rectangles onto a toothpick, placing it along the short side,

and then, taking out the toothpick, we twist the pieces of paper again, this time tighter, so that the diameter of the tube is approximately 3 mm. Glue the edges of the tubes.

After all the tubes are ready, drop Super-Moment gel onto the end of the tube and insert it into the hole in the bowstring.

And we do the same with the remaining steps.

Then we again drip glue onto the ends of the steps and put on the second string.

That's it, the paper staircase is ready.

Meanwhile, our invited master finished hanging the picture. I think he was pleased with the stairs :)

Thank you for attention! And see you again in KARTONKINO!
