Do-it-yourself table for a child. Do-it-yourself home desk. We connect the prepared parts
Guillaume's desk is an example of amazing furniture that will grow with the child. In addition, the children's table transforms into a convenient magnetic board. Such versatility allows you to save space in the house and not spend money on buying new furniture every year.
Tools
Necessary materials
To make a children's desk transformer, we need three-layer wooden panels. The main details of the structure will be cut out of them. The thickness of the panels is 30 millimeters and the size is 1700 x 900 millimeters.
Assembly instructions
- The photo shows the dimensions.
Details of Guillaume's desk with dimensions We mark the main details of the future school furniture on the panels. You can cut them yourself, or you can turn to professionals. The thickness of all parts is the same - 30 millimeters. - We cut out the details with a jigsaw.
We process the ends of the blanks with sandpaper to get rid of sharp edges and burrs. - Now let's create a magnetic board. Stick painter's tape along the borders of the proposed board.
- Prime the surface with an adhesive primer. Before applying the primer must be stirred. For uniform application of the mixture, a short pile roller is best.
- Let's go with sandpaper over the dried primer for grinding.
- Using a damp cloth, remove the accumulated dust and wait for the primer to dry completely.
- After five hours, we apply paint with magnetic properties. Before applying it also needs to be stirred. Apply it with a roller, stirring occasionally during operation. Magnetic paint is applied in three layers, the drying time of each is 24 hours, it is not recommended to apply a new layer until the previous one is completely dry. Try to be as smooth as possible. To do this, use a short-haired roller and a paint spatula.
- After the third layer has completely dried, apply decorative paint for blackboards. In modern stores you can find any color. We mix the paint, apply it to the surface with a short pile roller. Wait six hours for the first coat to dry and apply the second. Lightly move the roller in one direction to even out the paint.
- Now we collect the cut out details of the home table together. Using self-tapping screws, we fix the table stand supports on the bottom panel (numbers 3, 4 and 5 in the diagram).
- We fix the rack and install the table cover holders (numbers 2, 7 and 8 in the diagram).
- We put the table top on the rack.
- Assemble the chair by connecting the seat to the chair post (numbers 9 and 11 in the diagram).
- Next, we attach the rack with the seat to the bottom panel of the chair using a support (numbers 6 and 10 in the diagram).
Labor and cost
Sawing parts will take an hour. Subsequent assembly and fixing for another half an hour.
Painting, together with the drying of each layer for about four days.
- Adhesive primer 4 kg. - 300 rubles
- Paint with magnetic properties 0.5 l. — 1500 rubles
- Blackboard paint 1 l. — 1000 rubles
- Three sheets of plywood 1700 x 900 mm - 5800 rubles
The total cost of the table is 8,600 rubles.
With such a table, the child will go through more than one class. The height of the chair and cover can be adjusted, so that such furniture will serve the owner for several years.

The presented model allows:
- adjust the height of the table from 570 to 720 (mm), the adjustment step is 50 (mm)
- adjust the tilt angle of the table from 0° to 90° (the maximum angle is set theoretically), the adjustment step is 5°
— drawing from 0° to 5°
– letter from 10° to 15°
- reading from 20° to 30°
Components of a children's desk:
- base
- table top lifting mechanism
- countertop
BASE
We will make from a planed board. From the inside of the guide board, at the end, we mill a groove measuring 10x10 (mm). The sharp edges of the parts are rounded off. We fasten the parts of the legs together with:
for M8 thread.
We attach the top shelf and the footrest to the legs with wood screws or confirmations.
LIFT MECHANISM
We will make from a planed board. From the outer sides of the guide board, at the end, we mill grooves along the edges with a size of 10x10 (mm). We drill through holes with a diameter of 20 (mm) in the center.
WORKTOP
We will make from glued wood or plywood.
We will make the rotary mechanism from sheet metal with a thickness of 2 (mm) and attach it to the table top with wood screws. Alternatively, it can be made from wooden blocks.
Assembly order:
1. We insert the lifting mechanism into the grooves of the base.
2. We fix the tabletop to the lifting mechanism with the help of studs, washers and M8 nuts.
The children's desk is assembled with their own hands. Using the proposed concept for the design and construction of the structure, you can modify and supplement the model yourself with various shelves, pencil cases and glasses for stationery.
Do-it-yourself growing desk drawings
Do-it-yourself growing school desk, drawings, diagrams and functional dimensions of the table that can ensure the normal and healthy development of the child during classes.
Requirements for children's tables are regulated by GOST 11015-93 "Student Tables". Based on the specified GOST, they are made in six numbers and have their own color marking, depending on the average height of the student.
The model described in this article allows you to adjust the desk in two functional sizes for the average height of a student from 105 to 180 (cm):
- on the height of the working plane from 460 to 760 (mm) (∆h = h1 – h = 300) with an interval of 50 (mm)
- by the angle of rotation of the working plane from 0 to 16° (∆φ = φ1 – φ = 16) (four positions 7, 10, 13.16°)
The presented model consists of three assembly units:
- Tabletop.
- Movable stands.
- Fixed racks.
1. TOP
The size of the working plane is 500x700x20 (mm).

The desk cover (1) is installed horizontally, or fixed at an angle of 7, 10, 13 or 16°. Two plates are welded to the square pipe (2) 15x1.5 (mm): fastening of the rotary axis (3); fixing the angle of rotation of the tabletop (4). The tube (2) is attached to the tabletop with four screws (6). The end plane is closed with a decorative cap (5). The tabletop has two recesses 220x20x5 (mm) for pencils, pens and other accessories.
Party drawing. Assembly diagram and a detailed description of the home desk, which is adjusted to the height of the child.
The design of the school desk allows you to adjust the height from 575 to 775 mm and the angle of the table top from 0 to 10 degrees, taking into account the anthropometric data of the human figure (see article). Height adjustment is made in steps of 50 mm. The table top angle is adjusted in 5 degree increments. This setting allows you to provide comfortable conditions during the study and classes of the child. As the child grows, so does our desk.
The school desk is made of wooden knots and chipboard. We will prepare the necessary material and equipment. We start assembly.
In a wooden base, we mill two grooves for guides.
We insert guides into the grooves on the PVA glue. On the inside of the guides, we mill grooves 10 mm deep and 10 mm wide. The length of the grooves is selected in such a way that at the smallest height of the desk, they would be the lower stop of the lifting mechanism.
Assembling the base structure. We drill through holes in the transverse rails and fasten the side walls of the shelf.
We fix the bottom of the shelf and the footrest.
Set up the mechanism for lifting the tabletop. The guides should slide easily into the grooves. In the guides, we drill four through holes with a diameter of 20 mm in increments of 50 mm.
On the guides we attach the mechanism for the angle of rotation of the tabletop. We drill through holes with a diameter of 10 mm and fix the axles in them, relative to which the tabletop will rotate. On the reverse side, we drill through holes with a diameter of 20 mm, which serve to fix the tabletop at the desired angle with the help of bosses, in 5-degree increments.
We check the operation of the mechanism of the angle of rotation.
Hello friends! Our cardboard workshop received an order for the development and production of comfortable and durable school furniture for dolls from cardboard. It was necessary to make a school board, a desk and a teacher's table with a chair. At the same time, the furniture was intended for games with dolls 30-40 cm tall.
The play furniture turned out to be quite large-sized (for puppet scales). For a better understanding, here are the general sizes of items from our set:
- school board: width - 31.8 cm, height - 35 cm, the width of the racks - 16 cm;
– table (length×width×height): 30×17×20 cm;
- chair: seat - 10×10 cm, height - 21 cm;
- desk: length - 31 cm, width - 30 cm, height is about 20 cm, bench - 10×30 cm.
This is what the school desk looks like:
And here you can take a closer look at the chair.
What is at the table, what is at the desk of our doll model is very convenient. :)
Thanks to the use of several layers of cardboard, the furniture actually turns out to be strong enough for long-term use. No worse than plywood. And a definite plus is that cardboard furniture is much easier to do with your own hands. How exactly, I will now show you and tell you in detail.
Master class: how to make dollhouse school furniture out of cardboard
Materials and tools:
- sheets of A4 office paper (for printing templates);
– packaging corrugated cardboard (3 mm thick);
- standard (clerical) knife;
- creasing tool;
- metal ruler;
- scissors;
- double sided tape;
- glue "Moment Crystal", toothpick;
- hot glue gun (optional)
As you can see, the materials needed to make cardboard doll furniture are more than affordable. It is absolutely not a problem to get packaging corrugated cardboard now: something can be found at home in the pantry or on the mezzanine, huge quantities of used boxes are disposed of in furniture and grocery stores - and there it is quite possible to get the necessary amount of cardboard, and for free.
You can also buy cheap corrugated cardboard by the piece in art supply stores, packaging stores, or directly at a cardboard factory (if there is one nearby). In this case, I recommend choosing three-layer corrugated cardboard brand T-24- He's tighter. But in principle, softer cardboard of the T-23 brand is also suitable.
The process of making furniture for dolls, like all our cardboard toys, begins with the preparation of templates.
Generally speaking, having become familiar with the technology itself, if you wish, you can design doll furniture according to your size.
Or you can use ready-made templates, carefully calculated and tested in practice. A set of templates for making doll furniture "Playing school" can be ordered at.
PREPARATION OF TEMPLATES
So, if you took advantage of our offer, print the templates on sheets of A4 office paper.
Cut out small templates (which fit entirely on an A4 sheet) with small allowances.
Glue large templates according to the drafting schemes (see example). And also cut with small allowances.
Stick pieces of double-sided tape on the wrong side of the templates. Then each template must be attached to purl side of the corrugated board.
Note: the templates have a special round icon indicating the recommended wave direction of the corrugated layer. That is, the lines inside this icon should be approximately parallel to the lines that are visible on the wrong side of the cardboard.
It is not necessary to follow this direction exactly. Sometimes you have to adjust to the size of the existing piece of cardboard.
Just keep in mind that a cut made across the wave direction of the corrugated layer will be stronger and stiffer. And, on the contrary, a cut made along the waves is easily wrinkled.
Therefore, you need to try to ensure that, if possible, all the edges of the parts turn out exactly across the waves. In addition, they will look more aesthetically pleasing.
Well, now you can proceed directly to the manufacture of doll furniture with your own hands. Let's start with making a chair and a table.
TEACHER'S CHAIR FOR DOLLS
With a standard (clerical) knife, we cut out the details of the chair according to the templates C-4.1, C-4.2, C-4.3 and C-4.4. We cut long straight lines along the ruler, short and curved sections - by hand.
For details C-4.1 mark the fold lines with the tip of the knife (even before cutting out the part). Having cut out the detail, we crease it. A creasing stick used in scrapbooking is suitable for this operation. You can also score with the end of a flat screwdriver or scissors (just be careful not to tear the cardboard: the tool must be tilted as close to the surface of the cardboard as possible).
Carefully bend the piece C-4.1.
Cut out the details C-5.1, C-5.2, C-6. There is no need for scoring here. And we will make the folds on the details in the following way: along the blue lines on the template we will make cuts to about half the thickness of the cardboard (be careful not to cut through), and then separate 2 layers of cardboard in the areas between the cut lines.
To make the layers easier to separate, first fold the part along the notch lines outward. In the end it should look like this.
Chair details are ready. Let's start assembling.
Glue the part C-5.2 inside the part C-5.1 on the glue "Moment Crystal". Glue is enough to apply around the edges and around the holes. And in order to prevent the excess from flowing out, smear the glue with a toothpick in a thin layer.
Glue the second piece C-5.1- it turned out the seat of the chair. Glue the halves C-6(back of chair). At the same time, we apply glue to single-layer sections.
Place the glued parts under the press for a short time (for example, several books) - for a reliable connection.
Notice how neat and accurate the end of the seat turned out - this is due to the fact that in this area we separated 2 layers of cardboard.
inside the part C-4.1 glue the part first C-4.2, then - C-4.3 and C-4.4 front sides out.
Check: when bending the legs of the chair, these parts must fit exactly at right angles to each other.
When the legs of the chair are dry, glue them to the seat. Pour glue into the slots of the seat, grease the protrusions on the legs with a toothpick. We connect the parts as shown in the photo.
Glue the back of the chair. Here, in addition to the protrusion and slot, we also lubricate the back surface of the legs with glue.
We connect everything, press and hold until the glue seizes.
The cardboard doll chair is ready.
TEACHER'S TABLE FOR DOLLS
Now let's figure out how to make a table for a doll.
Cut out the details C-1.1 and C-1.2: 2 pcs. with slots and 1 pc. - without slots.
Cut out 2 pieces C-2 and table top details C-3.1 and C-3.2.
We glue on the glue "Moment Crystal" the supports of the doll table: 1 part C-1.1/C-1.2 without slot + 2 parts C-1.1/C-1.2 with slots. In this case, the parts must be positioned so that on both sides of the support the cardboard is facing out.
We also glue the cross.
And glue the tabletop: first, inside the C-3.1 part, glue the C-3.2 part, then bend and glue the free halves. Don't forget to apply glue to single layer areas as well.
The elements of the table are ready. We collect: we glue the supports and the crossbar, then we glue the countertop. For this operation, you can use a hot glue gun. This will make it faster and stronger.
That's all. The table for dolls is ready!
Let's move on to the next piece of doll school furniture.
SCHOOL DESK FOR DOLLS
According to the templates, cut out the details of the supports P-1.1 and P-1.2(2 pcs.), P-2.1 and P-2.2(1 pc.), P-3(2×3 pcs.).
To speed up the process, repeating parts can be cut in 2 layers: Fold 2 pieces of cardboard right sides together and secure the edges with pieces of masking tape. In this case, you will not need to print additional templates.
But cutting in 2 layers requires more strength. Therefore, if this method turns out to be inconvenient, it is better to cut all the details in 1 layer. It will be more careful.
Cut out the details of the bench P-5.1 and P-5.2, P-6.1 and P-6.2. Do not forget: we only make cuts along the blue lines, then we separate 2 layers of cardboard between them.
Cut out the details of the crossbars for the desk P-7 and P-8- 3 pcs.
According to the P-8 template, it is necessary to cut out 3 parts that are slightly different in size (3 parallel lines are drawn along one long edge of the template). You can do this in the following way:
- attach the template to the cardboard and use the tip of a compass (or a sewing needle) to mark all the corners of the part along the outer contour;
- transfer the template to a free area of \u200b\u200bcardboard and mark the corners of the part with the tip of a compass, but now using the middle of 3 parallel lines along one long edge;
- once again transfer the template and mark the corners of the smallest detail.
Mark with a pencil where the detail is, and where they have the top, so as not to get confused when gluing. Differences in size are necessary so that the upper end of the crossbar is at an angle corresponding to the slope of the desk top.
In addition, we cut out the details of the base of the desk P-9(6 pcs.). The photo shows parts with rounded corners (although on the templates all corners are straight - for ease of cutting). You can also do this if you wish. To do this, round each corner of the part with nail scissors, first cutting off only the top layer of cardboard, then only the bottom.
The tabletop for the desk is made in the same way as for the teacher's table.
We glue all the details, as shown in the photo. The principle, I think, is already clear.
And let's start assembling. At this stage, you can use the hot glue gun. Or you can continue to use Moment Crystal glue.
We glue the parts of the bench by inserting the protrusions into the grooves.
We assemble the desk: first we glue the supports and crossbars, then we glue the tabletop.
Glue the board to the base.
And glue the bench to the base.
School desk for dolls is ready!
SCHOOL BOARD FOR DOLLS
The final element of our furniture set.
Cut out the details D-1(1×2 pcs.), D-2.1 and D-2.2(2×2 pcs.).
If desired, here you can use the cutting method in 2 layers of cardboard (see description above).
Cut out the details D-3, D-4 and D-5.
We glue the board itself: inside the part D-3 glue the details D-4 and D-5 as shown in the photo. Glue is applied only along the edges and smeared with a toothpick in a thin layer.
We bend and glue the extreme parts of the board.
We apply glue in the gap between the main part of the board and the shelf. We bend the shelf and press until the glue seizes.
It remains only to glue the board to the supports. And it's done!
Puppet school board in all its glory. :)
Let's admire a little more doll furniture in action.
School furniture for dolls turned out just like the real thing, durable and comfortable. And, importantly, harmless - there are no sharp corners, no small parts breaking off, and the material is environmentally friendly!
On a capacious shelf of the board (its width is 4 cm), it is quite possible to put home-made visual aids, mini-books, put pieces of chalk or a felt-tip pen.
You can attach a sheet of paper to the board and write problems on it, or you can stick a special film that imitates a school board, and then you can even write with crayons - in general, everything will be real! And the kids will love it!
If desired, doll furniture made of cardboard can be painted. It is better to use acrylic paints for this.
Although, in my opinion, and so very stylish. :)
Now you know how to make furniture for dolls out of cardboard. And you can do the same with your own hands for your children or for your group in kindergarten. And our templates will help you with this!
I wish you pleasant creativity and entertaining games with your children!
If you have any questions about making doll furniture, write them in the comments. I would be happy to clarify all points.
Yours, Inna Pyshkina and the Kartonkino team.
You won’t need much space for this desk - it can be found in sufficient quantities in any room, both in work and for recreation.
To make such a desk with your own hands is not difficult.
For such a desk, as a rule, they work standing up. They do this in order to relieve the load from the spine, so when working at this desk with one foot, you can lean on the footboard made of aluminum pipe.
A small stand for memos and notes has both practical significance and gives the desk additional beauty and noteworthiness.
The assembly diagram of a homemade desk for standing work is shown in fig. A, and its main dimensions are given in Fig. B.
At the same time, the height of the desk and the position of the footrest are chosen at your discretion.
You can determine the optimal height for yourself by taking the pose of a thinker (only standing), resting your head on your hand.
The position of the elbow will indicate the level of the desk top.
You can double-check this size, for example, using a ladder-ladder, placing a plate with a slight slope on it for testing.
The side walls, the back wall and the shelf are cut out of furniture panels 300 mm wide.
Connect the parts with glue and screws, having previously drilled holes for them.
Pencil grooves can be selected with a chisel or cutter.
The surfaces of the assembled desk are sanded with a fine-grained sandpaper, moistened and stained with a stain.
As a lower fence, an aluminum strip with an arcuate edge is used, which is inserted into a groove selected by a circular saw with a slight indent from the front edge of the tabletop.
From below, a corrugated steel sheet is attached to the side walls of the desk, which acts as a support platform.
In conclusion, a footboard made of aluminum pipe is installed at the desired level.
Standing desk - drawings
Rice. BUT. To assemble such a desk, it is enough to connect the parts with glue and screws. The footboard can also be fixed with screws by screwing them from the side of the front edges of the side walls.
Rice. B. Adjacent edges of the tabletop and pencil shelves are adjusted to each other and connected on a rail.
