Stages of making a small chest of drawers from matchboxes:
1. In order to make a chest of drawers for dolls, we need 3 matchboxes. We attach pieces of double-sided tape to them and, removing the top layer, fasten the boxes together.
2. The basis for the future chest of drawers is ready.
3. Now let's start decorating it, since it is not very attractive in appearance. Take a light pink shade of double-sided half-cardboard and cut out two rectangles with sides 5 x 3.5 cm.
4. Attach double-sided tape to them.
5.Glue one piece to the top of the chest of drawers and the other to the bottom. Thus, we will also make the side parts of the chest of drawers, where the pieces of light pink half-cardboard will have dimensions of 5 x 4 cm.
6. It’s time to decorate the drawers. To do this, take a brush and white acrylic.
7. Paint over all the boxes so that the gray material of the matchboxes is not visible.
8. We will cut out three 3 x 1 cm rectangles from light pink thick paper. We will also need three 2 x 0.5 cm rectangles from a brighter shade of pink half-cardboard.
9. Glue the light pink pieces onto the drawers of the chest of drawers using office glue.
10. Glue bright pink rectangles on top of them.
11. So that the dolls can open and close the drawers, it is necessary to make handles. To do this, take three white half-beads and glue them to each cell.
12. From bright pink double-sided half-cardboard, cut out two rectangles 4 x 3.5 cm and one with sides 4 x 2.5 cm.
13. Glue a 4 x 2.5 cm rectangle to the very top of the chest of drawers.
14. Glue two identical rectangles of a bright pink shade to the sides.
15. Here is a cute chest of drawers made from matchboxes for your cute dolls, ready to use. Surely they will like this furniture and will use it in your daughter’s games.
