How to make

Step-1

Paint the entirety of the house with slightly off-white craft paint, you'll need to do two to three coats to get a nice even coverage; leave each coat to dry before applying the next.

Step-2

Once dry select four different colours of craft acrylic paint and plot which colours you're going to use in which sections of the house – also think about which ones you'd like to add patterned paper to.

Step-3

Apply two coats of each paint to their designated compartments and leave to dry.

Step-4

For each of the sections that are to be filled with patterned cardstock; use a ruler to measure the height and width and transfer the measurements to the back of the paper. Cut out each section with a metal ruler and craft knife or sharp scissors, and slot into the compartment to check the fit, before applying double-sided tape to the reverse and securing in place.
