TOWER HOUSE FOR TOYS

Send

My four-year-old daughter just loves kinder and collects toys that come across in chocolate surprises. My husband and I constantly stumble upon them, they "live" just everywhere: on the floor, on the couch, and even once I found hippos in the kitchen utensils. This problem had to be solved somehow. And I came up with an unusual house in the form of a tower, in which all these little animals will live.
For work, prepare the following materials:
- cans (three small or one large);
- adhesive tape;
- flax twine, paper thread;
- PVA glue and fabric glue;
- a piece of self-woven fabric;
- a piece of thick cardboard (from packaging) and office cardboard (half A4);
- scissors;
- wooden skewers (or matches).

First you need to glue three cans using adhesive tape (if the capacity is high, then it remains in its original form).
It turns out a workpiece with a height of 16 cm.

Take the paper thread and begin to wrap it around the future tower. To keep the thread well, you need to fix its end. And in order for the coils to fit snugly against each other, it is necessary to periodically apply PVA glue to the surface of the base.

Once you have finished filling the surface, the working thread should be glued to the edge of the product so that the coils do not unwind. If there are unfilled edges, it does not matter, they can be hidden with a linen rope.

Now you need to glue the blank on a thick sheet of cardboard. You can use a rectangular cut from the grocery box for this. If you want, sprinkle cardboard with sawdust to create a more interesting texture.

Now cut a circle from a white rectangular stationery cardboard. Form a cone out of it.

And glue it in a circle with linen twine. To do this, apply glue to the cardboard and wrap it in a spiral with a thick thread.
Glue the cone on top of the tin blank.

Now you need to make a decor for the tower. From sticks of wood, cut sticks 5 cm, 2.5 cm and 1 cm high. From these pieces, make a door and a window on the house. You can also stick on the side and spiral forms of twine, pieces of lace tape. In a word, it is necessary to fill the empty space on the facade of the building.

Now proceed to the formation of a beautiful fence. To do this, take flax twine and glue it on the edge of the cardboard base in the form of rings. For this, a thick thread must be carefully glued, gradually twisting into round molds.

The whole composition can be supplemented with thematic decorations. For example, make a large broom from a piece of wooden skewer and linen twine, plus a bag of grain from a self-woven cloth and rope.

Place unusual decorative objects near the tower.

And on the roof of the house you can attach a magic ball. It is easily twisted from a paper rope.

It remains only to populate the inhabitants of this fabulous tower house.

This craft will surely intrigue your baby. My daughter sits near the house, comes up with stories and plays on various situations with small toy heroes. And when he goes to bed, he places all the inhabitants near his house. And now we no longer stumble upon animals, they evenly stand still.
