How to make a house of paper tubes?

Of the most ordinary materials that are available in every home, you can create a lot of original things. For example, New Year toys with their own hands. The simplest option would be a house made of paper tubes. The ideas of its creation are completely diverse and sometimes arise during the work, so to bring something into the crafts will not be a problem.

What will be required

To create an ornament, you may have to visit the clerical department of any store to perfect the original idea. In addition, something may still be missing. So, for the craft, you will need:

• Several sheets of A4 paper;
• A pack of multi-colored cardboard;
• glue stick;
• scissors;
• Straight cocktail tubes.

Procurement of "construction materials"

To make a house of paper tubes with your own hands, you will need the details. To create them, the existing sheets will need to be divided into several parts, outlined in pencil. The dimensions of the elements are a matter of the creator's taste.

Then the workpieces are cut out and twisted. To simplify the process, you can use a cocktail tube, wrapping paper around them. This in advance will give the necessary form, and the details will only be glued. To avoid damage to the elements, the twisting should begin from the sides, otherwise the material will be remembered.

The number of such blanks depends on the scale of the idea, so they should be done in the process of work, folding 10 pieces in advance in order to get used to the upcoming construction.

House of paper tubes with their own hands

Like any building, a souvenir begins with a foundation. It should be made from thick cardboard, creating a kind of box with low sides. To prevent the material from catching a glimpse, the outer side is glued over with shorter tubes.

Then proceed to laying out the series on the same principle that was used in the construction of Russian houses. Because of this, some of the details will have to be made more compact, so that the elements lie tightly, and there were no crevices between them. When there are five improvised logs on each side, the layout of the windows and doors should be outlined. To make the house of paper tubes look symmetrical, it is recommended to place all the holes at the same height.

Windows and roof

To denote openings in the walls you will have to use short parts, the dimensions of which are calculated by yourself. Places slices can be masked by "frames" of colored cardboard at the end of the work. At the same stage, the use of the material will show "interior decoration". For this, a square is cut out under the opening, an appliqué is applied on it and pasted into the window.

If you make a village house of paper tubes, then for further construction, the length of the parts is also adjusted independently, so that the front and rear walls form a triangle.

The roof is cut out of cardboard. So that it does not collapse, it is worthwhile to build several supporting beams from the remains and already fix the roof on them. In fact, its shape can be any, so experiments are only welcomed, because the originality of the idea is the most important in the hand-maid.

Doors of the structure should also be made from glued tubes and placed in the opening. If possible, a similar skeleton on top is covered with self-adhesive wallpaper with a wood pattern.

Decoration

After the craft (the house of paper tubes) is essentially ready, you can proceed to its decoration and detailing. At will, the building is supplemented with various elements: a porch, shutters, a fence, etc. With fantasy and additional materials, the possibilities are practically unlimited.

The ladder to the door, by the way, is made from the remaining tubes, covering them with different self-adhesive wallpaper. This gives the house a naturalism and a peculiar entourage. If time allows, you can also do with the details for the bookmarking of walls. Naturally, decorating them is worth it in advance. Actually, this material is used for absolutely any purpose.

If large-scale work is planned, all the details, including the building, are fixed on a single surface. For example, pruning plywood or wood. In general, any item that is useless separately can become an element of decor, which will make the house of paper tubes brighter and more original.
