Score it in the middle and adhere to the top of the little house. So easy for making a large number of houses. If your cardboard or card stock is 11 inches you have a rectangle 2.5 x 3.25 inches to make the roof. The house with the tab is 8.5 inches long. Glue on the roof to your little paper house

I just didn't have time to do all that for 20 little houses.

Find the size you like and cut the appropriate sized hole for the windows or door. Paul Race, who hosts the forums, has generously made printable PDFs of these windows and doors in various sizes. The houses are so small that they could be perched on a Christmas tree branch if you wanted and a small light bulb from the Christmas lights would fit underneath or on the back.Īnother option for windows and doors is to copy the ones on the original Putz houses.

There are light holes on the back and underneath. I finally decided to just cover them with tissue paper inside the house. Since I had to make 20 houses I debated about what to do with the windows and the door. Cover the windows with tissue paper or printed windows and doors Really they help maintain structure and support for the roof. Remember that the roof flaps are NOT THE ROOF as you might expect. Glue the angled gable flaps over the rectangular flaps. If you cut the windows and door by hand only cut a few windows to make it as easy as possible. (Update - now I use my Cricut to cut out the patterns - it is even easier.) You could use a drill press as well, but the arbor press I bought online was smaller and cheaper from Harbor Freight Tools, I think. I justify this because I make a lot of houses and it makes cutting out the windows and doors SO much easier and precise. I always feel like I cheat when I say that I do not cut out windows and doors by hand. Here is Howard Lamey's method for cutting out accurate windows and doors by hand using a push pin to mark the corners of the windows and doors. Cutting windows and doors for your Easy Paper House by hand or with dies Next I scored the fold lines and then make the few cuts necessary on this simple house pattern. It's often easier to score before you cut the pattern out I see that I missed a line on one gable end. Here is the design of the easy house pattern transferred to the cardboard. One great feature of this pattern is that it shows you the basics of making a really easy little house so you can modify it and even make your own patterns.

This post contains some affiliate links for your convenience. This size also makes a very nice pattern that is easy to cut out from one 8.5 x 11 inch piece of paper or card stock or cardboard. Each house is about 2 x 2 inches so I could carry 20 of them to Vermont on the plane. I made these easy paper houses to take on a Vermont Getaway crafting weekend to give to the ladies that attended.
