Table of matches. Table and chairs from matches How to make a well out of matches

We make a decorative table and a chair from matches

We'll need :

Scissors;

Pencil;

Matches or toothpicks;

Instruction:

1. We prepare the material for work. We select the matches that are as even as possible and cut off the sulfur heads of the matches to make ordinary wooden rods. Then we glue the rods together. There should be such a quantity that we get a square-shaped part. Glue two transverse wooden rods to the underside of our countertop.

2. Trim the edges, sand all surfaces of the countertop. We take a whole rod and cut off two parts from it, which are slightly less than half the length of the rod. Now glue them as shown in the picture below.

3. To make a table leg, we need two rods, which we will glue together crosswise. Leave the part for a while to dry. Bevels must be made at the ends of the rods so that we can glue the legs to the table.

4. In exactly the same order, we will make the second leg of the table. Be sure to pay attention to two points: both legs for the table must be the same height; the second leg should be an exact mirror image of the first.

5. Now glue the legs with bevelled ends to the inside of the small and large crossbars, which are located on the underside of the tabletop, exactly as shown in the figure below. You also need to make sure that both legs are perpendicular to the tabletop.

6. We cut off two small wooden blocks of different lengths from the match rod. The length of one such bar should be equal to the distance between the inner crossed legs, slightly below the intersection point, and the length of the second should be between the outer ones. To strengthen the legs and increase the stability of the table, we glue each block in the right place.

7. Take two matches with even sides, cut off the heads of sulfur. The resulting rods must be perfectly even, and have the same length. Now we grind them and lay them parallel to each other.

8. Again we cut off the sulfur heads from the matches, and cut the resulting wooden rod into two identical parts. We glue the resulting sticks with the end part to the inside of two parallel rods, as shown in the figure below. We got the backs of the chairs.

9. We cut off a cross section from a wooden rod, the length of which is equal to the width of the back of the chair. Now glue it approximately in the middle of the back of the chair, as shown in the figure below. This is the back seat. Everything below is the legs of the chair.

10. Now we will prepare the front seat stand. We cut off a bar from the match rod equal to the length of the rear base of the seat. To the end part of the front seat stand, glue the rods, the length of which is equal to the length of the legs of the chair.

11. Cut another rod into two identical blocks and glue them, as side seat supports, to the back of the base. Let's cut off another piece from the rod, the length of which is equal to the distance of the front legs of the chair and glue the front legs with this cross member.

12. At this stage, you can connect the entire structure. Before applying glue to the parts, be sure to sand all surfaces and ends, then the structure will be more durable. Glue the front legs to the side supports. Please note that the front legs are strictly parallel to the back legs.

13. We need one more detail, which is equal to the length of the distance between the front and rear legs. We cut it out of match rods and glue it on one side of the chair. Exactly the same part must be made and glued to the other side.

14. Now we need wooden blocks with a length equal to the length of the seat of our chair. Let's prepare a few of these details. They must be of equal length. The number of sticks will vary depending on the distance between the side seat supports and the thickness of the matches themselves.

15. We glue the prepared bars together into an even, flat sheet and fasten them on the reverse side with two transverse rails. They should be slightly shorter than the distance between the side seat pads. So, glue a rod to each side. Now it remains only to sand the resulting seat and glue them to the base of our chair.

A table and a chair made of matches are ready!

Now it's good to put it somewhere. For example, on a table. For example, from matches. You get an original and simple craft - a toy with your own hands.

It will be a little more difficult, but only due to the need for precise movements with small matches, the need to wait for the glue to dry during the manufacturing process. But remarkably develops perseverance, attentiveness and accuracy of movements.

So, let's begin.

We will need:

• matches, the most common matches;
• glue; (I use in a small bottle with a narrow dispenser neck, which is convenient to apply small portions of glue to small parts);
• knife / scissors / tweezers;
• fine-grained sandpaper;
• cloth to remove excess glue and clean hands.

Stages of making a table of matches:

We select more or less even matches and cut off the heads of sulfur from them. Of course, if you are making crafts with children, be careful with the tool and cut off match heads.

We begin to make a “table top”: we glue the matches in this order: first two, then three, so that about half of the matches protrude on each side, then two again, and so on until the desired size is reached.

Fill in the gaps with excess glue. It is possible to add a few drops of glue into especially large cracks formed due to the unevenness of the matches. Then leave the glue to dry.

While we are waiting for the glue to dry, we make the legs of the table.

We select matches that are as even and equal in length as possible. We grind each match on one side with sandpaper to give a small bevel.
After that, we glue the matches at an angle so that the beveled ends of the matches are on one side and can rest evenly on the table. For the time the glue dries, under the matches that have turned out on top, you can put pieces of those cut off earlier so that there are no distortions.

It is necessary to wait until the glue on the legs and the countertop is well seized.

After the glue dries, carefully bite off the protruding ends of the countertop matches to form a rectangular surface.

With sandpaper we overwrite small irregularities on the "tabletop". We process not only the top and bottom, but also the side faces, where after biting off parts on the matches, burrs could form. Do not press hard, so as not to break the gluing.

Across the long part of the tabletop we glue 4 matches: two along the edges, stepping back a little and two at about the same distance from the center. On the one hand, this will give additional strength to the table top and, on the other hand, it will allow you to attach the legs.

We apply the legs we made to the central match, so that the ground edges are adjacent to the tabletop. We remember in which places part of the leg does not fit snugly against the transverse match, and there we glue the quarters of the matches, closer to the corresponding edge of the countertop.

After that, we attach and put the legs on the glue so that both matches forming the leg fit not only to the tabletop, but also to the side spacer.

We measure the distance between the two crosshairs of the legs and cut off the match a little more than this distance. We drip glue into the crosshairs and install the prepared spacer match there.

Let the glue dry.

Turn over and place on a horizontal surface.

Craft: a table of matches - ready.

If desired, the table can be made larger or smaller, change the shape, make, for example, round, but it will be a little more difficult, it will require a more accurate selection of the sizes of the matches used. In general, the scope for imagination is open.

And next time, we will definitely learn how to do some more unusual crafts.

Follow the site for updates.

It should be noted that work with matches is not only develops imagination, but also perseverance, tolerance, accuracy and attention.

Crafts from matches can be done with or without glue. If you use glue, then you can attract children, since such work is easier than making crafts from matches without glue.

Matches stick together very quickly and well, so you won’t have any big problems during the assembly process.

You can also use the matches as a whole, or carefully separate them into smaller parts.

Matches can be used to make both 2D and 3D, including animal figurines, pieces of furniture and houses.

For beginners, it is best to do crafts using glue., and when experience is gained, it will be possible to create crafts from matches without glue.

Helpful Hints:

* The place where you will work with matches needs to be prepared. First you need to cover the table with oilcloth.

* Prepare glue and a saucer in which you will pour it.

* For convenience, it is advisable to take glue with a sharpened match or toothpick.

* For the front side of the craft, it is better to select matches with a flat edge surface.

* If you wish, you can cut off match heads (with scissors or a clerical knife) - this way you will get a more even craft. Such work should be done by adults and keep children away from sharp objects.

How to make a house of matches

To make such a house, you do not need to have a special talent, you just need to know the assembly steps, be careful and have patience.

You will need:

7 matchboxes

2-3 large diameter coins

Disc box.

1. Prepare a base for crafts - it can be, for example, a CD box - and put 2 matches on it parallel to each other.

2. Place 8 matches perpendicularly on the lying matches (the foundation of the house) - this must be done so that there are gaps of the same size between the matches.

3. Put 8 more matches perpendicular to the previous ones (according to the same principle).

4. Now start laying out matches around the perimeter, as shown in the image. You need to make 7 rows (match heads should go in a circle).

5. Lay out 8 matches on the last row so that their heads look in the direction opposite to the first row of 8 matches (the foundation of the house).

6. Perpendicular to the top 8 matches, put 6 more matches in the middle, and put a coin on top of them.

7. Holes have formed between the last two rows in the corners, 1 match must be inserted into them. While you insert the matches, stick to the design.

8. Now stick one match into each gap along the walls and cover the perimeter (see picture).

9. Adjust the structure with your fingers so that all matches fit snugly together.

10. Try to complete the walls of the house by sticking matches around the perimeter of the walls with their heads up.

11. We make a horizontal layer of walls. Insert matches around the perimeter so that their heads alternate with the ends. After that, push in all the matches that start with the head.

12. Let's start making the roof of the house. To do this, insert matches along opposite walls (see picture).

13. Alternate the direction of the matches and insert them perpendicular to the ceiling of the house.

14. First you need to put 2 matches, then 4, 6 matches in two central ones, eight each.

How to make a well out of matches

You will need:

Stationery knife

Scissors

Rope

Cloth to wipe off glue

1. First. What needs to be done is to glue the base of the future match well. It consists of 4 matches (you can cut off the heads of the matches).

2. On top of the base of the well, you need to stick another row of matches, while the matches need to be moved in the opposite direction. All subsequent rows must be done in the same style until the desired height is reached.

3. Now glue racks of three rods (see picture) to the inner opposite walls of the well - two rods at the same level and one in the middle - a few millimeters lower.

4. Glue two rods to the back of each of the rods made in step 3. You will attach the roof of the well to them. Now you can insert the toothpick goal post.

5. Prepare a thread and wind it around a toothpick, lubricating it (the toothpick) with glue in advance. If you like, you can break the end of the toothpick to make a handle.

6. Glue 2 supports to the posts so that you can attach the roof to them. Also insert the beam from above.

7. Before you start gluing matches on top to form the roof, glue 4 beams to the end of each support, and attach matches for the roof to them.

8. All the inclined beams need to be smeared with glue and make the roof of the well, into which you can then lower the thread as a final chord.

Match wheels (diagrams)

In this example, glue is NOT used, and the strength of the product is provided by internal stress and friction.

There are several options for the wheel: with laying through 1 support match (it has 15 vertices, and 105 parts are used for it), through 2, 3 and 4 support matches, respectively.

Laying through 2 support matches.

The product consists of 95 parts, has 19 peaks and a small diameter that allows it to fit inside a wheel with a large diameter.

Laying through 3 supporting matches

The diameter of this design is even smaller. The wheel has 21 vertices and is made from 84 matches.

Laying through 4 supporting matches

This design is the most difficult to assemble. The wheel has the smallest diameter and can fit inside old match wheels. The design has 22 vertices and contains 66 parts.

Match wheels (instruction)

1. First you need to make an auxiliary tool. To prepare it, arm yourself with a notebook, a simple pencil, a ruler and a compass. You can resort to the help of a protractor, but this is not necessary.

2. Draw a template for the machine. In this example, the drawing will help create a wheel of 15 links. Draw a circle with a radius of 42mm. Next, divide this circle into 15 identical sectors (each sector has an angle of 24 degrees).

* In case you do not have a protractor, make the distance between the legs of the compass 34 mm and draw serifs on the circumference.

3. After you have drawn the drawing of the assembly panel, start making the actual panel itself. A hard cover from an unnecessary book, or thick cardboard will come to your aid. In the places marked in the picture, you need to punch holes in the cardboard using a hammer and a nail.

Cut out the drawing and glue it to the cardboard. Choose a nail with a diameter slightly larger than the thickness of the match. Under the cardboard, place an unnecessary book, or several sheets of cardboard (so as not to spoil the floor with a penetrating nail).

4. When you've got the assembly panel ready, start assembling the wheel - if it has 15 links, then you'll need 90 matches.

* It is advisable to choose matches without marriage.

Insert support matches into the panel.

4.1 Now consistently fill in the gaps with matches. It is worth noting that each next match in each ring must be overlapped with the previous one.

4.2 Raise the first match in the ring in advance so that it overlaps the penultimate and last supporting matches.

Of course, now you can easily buy doll furniture in any toy store, but it would be much better if you make it with your child. Waste material such as matchboxes is suitable as the main material. Pasted with beautiful paper and decorated with decorative elements, you will get an original table, wardrobe, sofa or dressing table in a short time, and practically for free.

Necessary materials:
- red thick paper;
- silver paper or candy wrapper;
- stationery glue;
- 6 matchboxes;
- Double-sided tape;
- brush;
- a simple pencil;
- white gouache;
- white half beads;
- scissors;
- ruler.

Stages of making a dressing table:
1. We take matchboxes and use double-sided tape to fasten 3 boxes together.

2. Now we cut out two strips from red double-sided paper with parameters 17 x 5.2 cm.

3. We attach pieces of double-sided tape to the boxes and glue the cut-out strips of red paper around them.

4. To connect two bedside tables together and form a ladies table - you need to take red double-sided paper and cut it out
rectangle 11.5 x 5.2 cm.

5. We attach double-sided tape to the upper sides of the bedside tables.
6. Glue the rectangle on the bedside tables.

7. Now we will make the vertical side of the dressing table where the mirror will be placed. To do this, cut out a segment from red paper, where it will be 6 cm vertically and 9 cm horizontally.
8. Draw a semi-oval with a simple pencil.
9. Cut out with scissors along the marked lines.
10. Glue to one side of the table with clerical glue.

11. Attach a mirror to the wall. To do this, take a candy wrapper or shiny paper and, drawing a circle with a pencil, cut it out with scissors.

12. Glue the mirror in the middle of the vertical wall of the dressing table.
13. Let's start decorating the drawers. Take white gouache and paint with a brush on the front sides of the boxes.
14. Cut out six stripes for drawers from red double-sided paper, the sides of which will have parameters of 3 x 0.7 cm.
15. We glue small stripes with clerical glue.

16. Glue tiny white half-beads in the middle of each strip. These will be the handles for the drawers.
