Choosing the right printable template
The first printable house I created was the larger one shown above. I do suggest trying the larger house first. But I had a need to create smaller houses for a modern Christmas display. Simple and very easy to create.
Cutting and assembling the pieces
To bring your paper house to life, it’s time to start cutting and assembling the pieces. Begin by cutting along the solid lines of the template. making sure to follow the outlines. You can take your time with this step to ensure accuracy in the assembly process. I don’t take my time and mine still work out fine. If you wish you can add details like doors and windows or roof tiles if you wish. Or wait until you have folded your house. I’ve done both ways. I tend to leave my houses basic
Next fold along the lines to create crisp and smooth edges. I use this cutter to cut the larger areas and to make fold lines. This makes a crisp fold easy!
Using different papers for added decorations
You can use scrapbook papers or other card stock. I adore the scrapbook floral house. Try any paper that goes through your printer. No printer? Any copy store can help you. I bought this printer recently and adore it!
Displaying your completed paper house
It’s time to think about how you will display your completed creation. You can place it on a shelf or use it as a centerpiece on a table. They are adorable on tiered trays. Or create a miniature neighborhood with other paper houses! Share your paper house with others and let your creativity shine. They are cute as “gift tags” or tucked into stockings at Christmas.
Above I turned a thrift store frame into a Christmas tree using the smaller houses. I want to keep mine white. But you could add little windows, doors and even draw a wreath on the door. What fun to let the kiddeos color their own little houses! 😉
Tips for creating your own unique designs
Add glitter, metallic accents, or tiny embellishments like miniature flowers or decorative trims. By adding your own personal touch to each house, you can make your paper house a masterpiece. Remember, the only limit is your creativity. Happy crafting!
