Amazing crafts you can create from matches

If you do not know which hobby to choose, then you can safely start designing crafts from matches. This budget hobby can truly captivate you. You can create unique masterpieces only with a little imagination, patience and perseverance. Phenomenally beautiful decorative crafts made from ordinary matches.

Small house

For construction, prepare a solid stand and 2-3 coins and proceed:

• put two matches parallel to each other;
• take 8 more and lay on top of the already lying two, so that your house looks aesthetically pleasing with gray heads, turn to one side;
• then again take 8 matches and put them in parallel on the lying ones;
• the distance between the "logs" should be two millimeters. Start building a well in about 6 rows;
• after laying all the rows, we put 8 matches in the same way as the bottom row;
• on top we make the same flooring, but from 6 sticks. To make your house more stable, put a coin on it;
• along the edges of the resulting square, vertically insert 4 matches, also arrange matches around the entire perimeter, lowering them to the very bottom of the house, so that all the heads at the end are at the same level;
• with great care you need to remove the coin;
• then squeeze the craft with your fingers on all sides, align it and turn it over;
• put new matches vertically outside, pointing gray up;
• to strengthen the walls, you need to build a new layer outside, but already horizontally;
• insert matches in the corners of the structure;
• raise vertical matches by half;
• then we start designing the attic. On top of which you need to cover the roof of the roof.

Wood

To make wood, prepare hot melt, wooden skewer, wire cutters, sheet of paper.

How to do:

• draw the outline of the base of your future tree;
• then cut small pieces of matches with pliers;
• then smear the outline of the tree and glue the pieces that you prepared in advance;
• after that, insert a skewer into the middle of the tree and glue it with matches in 2 layers. This will be the trunk of the tree;
• then you can start making the crown. To do this, you should fix the matches on the lower tier of the tree at a different angle.
• matches are glued to the top, directed in different directions.
• now start expanding the crown. Glue new ones to the initial branches.

To make the tree look fluffy and voluminous, you can glue the remaining halves to the outermost branches.

Church

If you have already made a house, then it will not be difficult for you to build a church. You can design the architecture yourself.

Stages of the construction of the temple:

In order not to waste time when making crafts, you should sort the material by size and quality at the beginning of work.

• we build already familiar houses;
• we fasten them together. This is easy to do, because the matches will easily fit into the holes of the second cube. If your idea is that such a mount will not work, then cut off the protruding excess and connect the two structures with glue;
• domes can be made by inserting the main matches into the roofs and adding prepared pieces in a circle;
• for the cross, you need to glue the matches together.

The number of buildings, domes and crosses depends on your desire and imagination. You can even create a church complex.

Mill

Necessary steps to make a mill:

• first you need to build the side panels of the mill (there should be 4 of them);
• then you need to assemble the mill body, that is, you need to glue the side walls together;
• then we assemble the future roof for the mill and the impeller;
• fasten the remaining parts and admire the craft.

There is a second option: use the scheme for building a house, changing its height, and attaching the blades.

Wall panel

To create a wall panel you need:

• a stencil with an ornament;
• glue;
• matches;
• sheet of cardboard.

How to do:

• use a stencil to apply a drawing to the cardboard;
• then starting from the center, start laying out the matches.

When making a wall panel, prepare a napkin in advance to immediately remove excess glue.

Ship

If you are tired of building houses, you can move on to a more complex option. Build a ship. The model can be different. Everything will depend on your already acquired skill and patience.

Stages of making a simple swimming device:

• you need to take three matches and glue a triangle from them. The triangle must have equal sides;
• 1 of the matches needs to be sharpened at the end;
• glue the match into the apex of the triangle with a sharpened end. The other is glued to the base on top;
• divide the match in half, glue the pieces along the edges of the triangle;
• on top of these matches, glue another one that will lie across, thus forming the bottom of the boat;
• the diameters are glued to the two sides of the triangle;
• a match is glued to the rear cross member, this is the feed;
• the stern and board are connected with 2 matches;
• at the end of these matches, you need to put another crossbar, a small one at the top of the triangle;
• glue two more matches on the crossbar along the sides;
• the height of the ship depends on your desire.

If you wish, you can cut off the match heads - this way you will get a smoother craft.

Automobile

The car manufacturing scheme is already well known:

• familiar and familiar houses will serve as the basis of the car - they will become the body;
• then we build wheels;
• all that remains is to connect the parts of the future machine, i.e. body and wheels.

Working with such material requires attention and patience. It can take not a single day to make a craft. But looking at how real masterpieces come out of your hands, you will want to continue to invent and create.
