A house for your favorite Barbie toy is easy to buy in a children's store. However, it is much more interesting to do it yourself. A fascinating joint activity between an adult and a child will not only give a lot of positive emotions, give the child the opportunity to dream up, but also save on a fairly expensive purchase.

Instructions
Step 1
The easiest way to make a home for a Barbie is to make a home made of cardboard boxes. It does not involve the use of complex calculations and manipulations. The box should be pasted over with wallpaper or colored cardboard, cut through an opening for the window, and glue the frame. If you wish, you can make piers with doors.
Step 2
Finished housing must be furnished. Pictures decorated with match frames will also add comfort to the dollhouse. The walls can be decorated with room panoramas. It will be interesting to look at the image on the whole wall with a balcony or window opening with a beautiful view. A cardboard house for a Barbie can be either one-story or multi-story.
Step 3
A more difficult option is to make a house from a plywood or wooden frame. It involves making some calculations. The main point will be in the same box with holes for windows. The manufacture of the roof and front panel on the awnings will allow the dollhouse in a closed state to be no different from a real structure. Similar to the old boxes for postal parcels, slats will become the connecting links of all the blanks of future housing. Such a building, in comparison with the cardboard version, will be much stronger. When decorating it, you can use spray paints.
Step 4
Any type of Barbie home can be modern or antique. An interesting idea will be the manufacture of high towers on the roof of the building, imitating a medieval castle. For this, plastic bottles are suitable. A cone-shaped roof can be made from cardboard. To give texture, it is advisable to paste over such blanks with papier-mâché, and then paint them with imitation of brickwork. The interior of such a castle must be decorated with a fireplace and a fur rug nearby. Candlesticks made of food foil or plates of a golden hue will complement the picture.
Step 5
It is important to involve a child in the process of making a house for Barbie. He must decide for himself what will be the housing for his beloved doll. With the joint efforts of an adult and a child, an unusual and very beautiful structure can be made.
