Cardboard tea house
You always want tea drinking to bring not only gustatory pleasure, but also aesthetic pleasure. A box of tea bags doesn't look very nice, especially on a holiday table. To somehow decorate the serving of tea, tea houses were invented. You can buy them ready-made, or you can make them yourself. You can use plywood or a more affordable material – cardboard – as the basis of the house. Let's consider making a tea house from thick cardboard.
To make a house you will need materials:
1. Cardboard.
2. Pencil and ruler.
3. Scissors.
4. PVA glue.
5. Acrylic paints.
6. File.
7. Napkins for decoupage.
8. Eggshells.
9. Sponge, brushes.
10. Twine.
11. Varnish.
The process of making a tea house.
1.To make a house, you need to make a sketch and think over the dimensions. We will make the base of the house according to scheme No. 1.
2.According to the calculations performed, we outline the foundation of the house. Then we cut out the parts.
3.To assemble the house body, you need to prepare 3 short strips. Glue the strips to the bases of 3 sides of the house.
4.Then cut out 4 long strips. Using these strips we will fasten the side walls of the house.First, we fasten the 2 sides of the house together.
5. We strengthen one more side of the house. For strong fastening, we use stable elements with which we support the walls during gluing.
6. Carefully place the front wall with the cutout on top of the prepared fasteners and press lightly.
7.To ensure the strength and stability of the structure, additional parts must be cut.
8. We fix the walls of the house from above and below using prepared parts.
9.The walls are fixed to each other, we glue the base of the house.
10. We glue the external joints with masking tape so that in the future the structure does not have cracks or bends.
11. Let's start making the roof. To do this, we use scheme No. 2.
12. We draw out the cardboard according to diagram No. 2. We cut out the elements of the diagram.
13.In order for the roof slopes to be secured to each other, it is necessary to glue the strip in the form of a three-dimensional triangle.
14. We close the voids with small triangles.
15.Fix the roof slopes.
16. We glue the gables on both sides.
17.The body of the house is assembled. Let's start priming. To do this, use white acrylic paint to paint the inside of the base of the house and the roof.
18.Then we prime the outer part of the walls of the house.
19.On the roof we prime only the gables.
20.Next you need to start decorating. Let's start with the foundation of the house. For this we will use napkins for decoupage. Cut out a drawing of a suitable size from a napkin and place it with the colored side on the file.
21.Then carefully pour water onto the napkin.
22.Attach the file with the drawing to the front wall of the house.
23.Press the drawing to the wall.
24.Remove the file from the drawing.
25. Cover the drawing with glue.
26.Glue another pattern to the side walls.
27. Decorate the free space around the drawing with eggshells.
28.Prime the shell.
29. Paint the shell pink.
30.Using a sponge, make impressions with dark paint on the shell.
31. Using a thin brush, draw cracks between the shells.
32. Decorate the hole in the wall using twine.
33.Next we decorate the roof. To do this, cover the roof slopes with eggshells.
34. Paint the shell on the roof with pink acrylic paint.
35. We make prints with red paint.
36.Draw cracks between the shell. We decorate the gables and seal all visible parts of the cardboard with twine.
37.Finally, we coat the entire product with varnish.
The resulting product looks original and unusual. A house for storing tea bags will perfectly decorate the kitchen and is suitable for gifts.
