How to make it

about 35 minutesmediumwith help from an adult160 gsm paper

  1. Colour in all the faces and pictures. Cut out the model along the solid lines; leave the grey tabs attached.
  2. Fold all the dotted lines inwards, tabs too: the picture stays on the outside. Score the lines first with a ruler and an empty ballpoint pen for crisper folds.
  3. The side with the FLORIST sign is the front; the roof face with the little window (the dormer) goes on top.
  4. Glue the tabs one by one to the inside of the edge next to them. Close the last face like a lid: hold it down until the glue is dry.

It looks best on thick paper (160 gsm).
