Crafts from matches for beginners

Creating crafts from matches is an interesting and fascinating hobby, which, moreover, does not require large expenditures. A few boxes of matches are always found in every house, and glue for work is suitable for almost any. Yes, and without glue, by the way, you can do without, because the technique of creating crafts from matches without the use of glue - this is aerobatics

Crafts from matches for beginners are best mastered from the simplest models, for example, from the "hut" -cubic. More often Manufacture of such huts without the use of glue. To work, you need a few boxes of matches, a small coin. Often a plastic box for CDs is used as a stand for making this craft.

Crafts from matches for beginners: a house of matches without glue

On a flat surface it is necessary to put 2 matches, placing them parallel to each other. The distance between matches should be slightly less than the length of one match. The next step is to create flooring of 8 matches.

Carefully, trying to make equal intervals, 8 matches should be located perpendicular to the two matches of the base. Matches should lie flat, the ends of the bottom two matches should protrude slightly.

Further Perpendicular to the previous row is stacked one more row of 8 matches. The next step is the creation of a so-called well. It is necessary to arrange 4 matches as follows:

• 2 matches are put perpendicular to the deck;


• 2 more matches are placed on the previous 2, parallel to the upper deck of 8 matches;


• the distance between matches is the same as between the two lowest matches;


• heads in each pair of matches "look" in opposite directions.

Similarly, 6 more rows of the "well". It is necessary to act very carefully, trying not todamage the assembled structure. Next, you need to perform the third under the account of a flooring of 8 matches. In this flooring matches are located in parallel matches of the first flooring.

6 more matches are laid out on the finished flooring - perpendicular to the matches of the flooring. Now we have to "fix" the resulting design with 4 matches. Matches are arranged vertically: in the corners of the lattice, the matches are neatly inserted, the design can be covered with a coin and pressed with a finger (a coin is needed so that the matches do not stick to the fingers.

In the lattice cells around the perimeter of the future house another 20 matches are inserted - 5 on each side. The heads of matches are "looking" upwards. If you used a coin, then with tweezers it can be removed - it will not be needed anymore.

Fingers It is necessary to squeeze the walls, floor and ceiling of the house of matches to make the design stronger. At this stage, the house can already be taken in hand - it should not fall apart. After the house is compressed, it needs to be turned upside down. The next step is to make the walls of the house.

Matches, with heads up, verticallyare located on each of the 4 sides of the house. Then a horizontal layer of walls is formed. The heads of matches should alternate with the ends of matches (as in the construction of a "well"). Ready walls need to be squeezed for a stronger connection.

Next, the roof of the house is formed. To do this, first into the corners of the house are insertedmissing 4 vertical matches, and then using an additional match, vertical matches must be raised to a height of about half the length of the match.

Further, the roof matches are laid perpendicularlythe upper deck. You need to start from the edges. Alternating directions of matches, it is necessary to put first on 2, then on 4, then on 6 matches, and then in 2 middle rows - on matches. After that, the roof. To do this, the matches are stacked between the vertical matches of the "attic", the match heads should be directed to the center of the house.
