O•O Hack: Foldable DIY playhouse made from cardboard
There it stands, a huge shipping box, and you don't know what to do with it? How about a playhouse for the kids? That way the box is nicely upcycled and in the end you'll have a versatile play furniture, that cost almost nothing but was a lot of fun during crafting together made. On top of that, the DIY house can be folded up to save space and put away.
Our playhouse in the video we built only with tape. Of course the kids can paint it in bright colors, decorate it – whatever you want and feel like.
You'll need:
1 large moving or shipping box
1 additional piece of cardboard
box cutter
tape (preferably thick duct tape or similar)
optional: paints & decorations of all kinds
Here's how:
Place the box on the floor so that the opening faces to the side and the longer side of the box is on top.
Cut off this top side including the flap and set it aside. This will later become one half of the roof.
Reinforce with tape all outer edges of the box that meet at right angles by taping them completely from the outside.
Now it's the roof's turn. Cut two equally sized pieces from the saved cardboard side and from another piece of cardboard. Make sure that together they form the roof pitch you want.
Attach both pieces at the roof slope with tape from the outside and inside.
Then tape the roof and playhouse together.
The little house is now basically finished. But to make it foldable, lay it on its 'belly', that is, on the entrance side.
Cut completely through the middle of the back and continue the cut through the house's floor. For the box to fold properly at the end, it's important that the cut runs exactly down the middle. Next, cut along the edge where the back and floor meet.
Check whether the back and bottom flaps fold out well. Tape the flat-folded box together at the cut edges with tape.
Open the playhouse and reinforce the inner 'side seams' with tape as well.
Done! Whenever you want to put the DIY house away, you can fold it up very easily. Have fun crafting and playing!
