Reinforce by running each piece of card board in different directions. Use a tight bond wood glue and use wood putty or spackling mixed with wood glue to create a board like outer layer texture. You can leave it rough or sanded smooth then paint it. Then seal it. I generally use 4 to 6 layers of card board and try not to make bore than 18 inch width without a center support on larger projects. Built my daughter's nursery dresser, chest of drawers and night stands from cardboard using that method. I built her a school desk with storage, desk chair and a vanity and bench as she got older. She is 32 now all of the furniture has been used by her and her 3 kids and is in use today. It has survived teenagers sitting on it and kids climbing on it. It's been painted half dozen times. Only thing I replaced was backing board on all pieces. I only used 3 layers of card board on that. Next to last replacement for backing board was 20 years ago. I used real wood. The wood got popped off and broken and chipped. The real wood lasted 2 years. I replaced it with original cardboard with glue and wood putty mix cover, paint and varnish. It's still in use today.
Hi there :) thanks for all of the advice! Im amazed how long your cardboard furniture lasted. Especially since it was properly used by many people. That’s really good to know. I would have never thought to use wood glue but will definitely try that. I also remembered that I once made a cardboard dollhouse that I also used as a dresser a very long time ago. Kind of two in one and that lasted for a while too but I don’t recall what happened to it in the end 😅 Thanks for taking the time to sharing your experience. That was very helpful!
@@oliviaL2320 if I ever get brave enough lol. The trick is time. Time for the wood glue and layers of cardboard become adhered by weighting it or clamping it down and letting it cure to harden into a flat surface. The use of spackle and wood glue creates another hardening element. Then sanding smooth and adding paint and sealer creates a tighter bond as well as provides some waterproofing. Mr. DIY does similar to method I used. Check him out.
@@fun_and_craft trick is the pressure points. Like I said every 18 inches or less use a vertical support. Like on the sides of a dresser it needs to literally be a full support wall/walls depending on horizontal length. I remember that dresser/house too that you made it was what made me subscribe. The wood glue was strongest I could think. Then mixing it with spackle or wood putty makes it like a particle wood or jipsom hardner.
@@rebeccamiller3248 thank you so much I will do so. I have been saving up all my recycling to do up stuff for my daughters doll house that I picked up for free on market place. She’s only a baby but it gives me plenty of time to do it up before she’s old enough to play with it 💕
That’s what I thought too. I’ve never tried it but I saw that you can even buy cardboard beds. So I might give it a go. Thanks for watching and your comment! 😊
me encanta todo lo que haces, pero que ingenio bárbaro el tuyo, felicidades x la paciencia y el amor que le entregas a tus creaciones, y lo digo así xq se nota🥳
I (sort of) made a desk from cardboard. Basically the top, but I had made drawers before. There are channels that show you how, like Mr. DIY. For furniture, you need to at least double (my desktop is 4x thick). I was doing this learning skills for woodwork. It is good to learn on a cheaper medium first☺️
You are amazing!! I have seen so, so many other RUclipsrs that do doll crafts, borrow your skills, talent, designs and esthetics. Please, keep up your awesome work… you are phenomenal and incredible and I love ALL of your craft work!!
When I was a kid we use to make are own barbie houses and furniture with cardboard boxes.ours were nowhere close to what your building. You really have a talent for this. I love you recycle materials for this.very creative!
That’s awesome! I think it’s good for kids to make some of their toys themselves 😊 I used to love making stuff too when I was younger. Thanks for your lovely comment!
New subby here, just been looking back at your older videos and omg, l’m so glad that l found your channel, love it and love what you do, tfs x Julie 🇬🇧
I actually live in a flat share 😄 so I don’t have a lot of storage space. Some of the dollhouses are in my bedroom, some at my mums house and some I took apart to reuse the material. Thanks for watching 🥰
In design school our final project was to make a human size chair out of cardboard which had to hold up to the professor sitting in it for a few minutes so in done right cardboard can make great furniture
Interesting! That makes sense since it would make it more durable. I’ve stacked my moving boxes like a shelf for now and I’m surprised how well it holds up. Thanks for you’re comment! 🥰
That’s really cool! Did you cover it with fabric or something similar or is the cardboard visible? My bed doesn’t have a headboard so maybe that would be a good place to start making cardboard furniture 😊

Would love to see a video of how to do this method

Cardboard boxes are actually very strong and they make beautiful furniture
That’s what I thought too. I’ve never tried it but I saw that you can even buy cardboard beds. So I might give it a go. Thanks for watching and your comment! 😊
Just go heavy with a good quality wood glue, mat board and reinforced paper tape and you can make practically anything. Good luck!
You are my absolute favorite channel on youtube. Your creations are amazing and the best part is that you repurpose and use every day items.
Thank you so much 😍 made my day!

Where do you store all these models? You must have a very large to house all these dollhouses.

Interesting! Making cardboard furniture seems to be more common than I thought so might actually try it. Thanks for your helpful comment 😊
Wow soooooo toll
Danke 🥰

Amei muito lindo 😻
Are all your doll furnitures 1:6?
Yes they are all for Barbies 😊
Amazing
Where did you get does stuf
I Make furniture from cardboard quite a bit, but i always double it
Interesting! That makes sense since it would make it more durable. I’ve stacked my moving boxes like a shelf for now and I’m surprised how well it holds up. Thanks for you’re comment! 🥰
What are the dimensions of this roombox please? At least height and width, please. I just wish I could do the same as you.
Where do you get your paper board from?
Usually from an art supply shop/ craft shop called ‚listmann‘ or ‚gerstaecker‘ 😊
Do u take miniature commissions? For rainbow high size dolls?
Which type of glue do you use?
I usually use hot glue, glue sticks and white crafting glue.
So schööön!
Danke 🤗
Hermoso
Do you use mod podge?
Sometimes I use mod podge but I currently ran out.
I love your crafts but maybe sometimes instead of using cardboard for some thing you could use foam board 🤷♀
Cute ✨🫶🏻✨🫶🏻✨🫶🏻✨
Thanks 🥰
Por favor podrías dejar las medidas gracias
Yoduvh essentials here on RUclips has a lot of videos where she’s made furniture and home decorating with cardboard. You should check her out!!
Thanks for the tip 😊
I made my headboard from cardboard.
That’s really cool! Did you cover it with fabric or something similar or is the cardboard visible? My bed doesn’t have a headboard so maybe that would be a good place to start making cardboard furniture 😊
