The great thing about this craft idea is that you can use really any paper you want to use.
I like a stiffer craft paper as it makes it easier to hold up and work with, but you could make this house with any paper.
You could also use a pattern you find online and print on regular copy paper if you wanted.
I’ve even had my kids use plain white paper and draw their own designs for use in these types of projects.
Supplies Needed
Thread
Scissors
Craft knife
Ruler
Step 1: To begin, you will pick out at least two colors or patterns of
paper to use;
Begin by cutting a length of paper to roll and connect to make the house base;
Before you connect this, fold the paper in half and using the halfway mark, cut a small door using the craft knife;
Step 2:I cut a slit about 1" from the bottom of the paper, and then sliced around that to make both sides open as flaps for a door;
Next, attach the ends together using glue or staples to form a tube base;
Step 3:To cut out the top, cut the paper in a half-moon shape then roll and connect or staple together to form a cone shape;
Make sure to measure and see that it will set on the top of the base to fit well;
Step 4:Thread the line through the middle of the cone so that the knot is on the inside and keeping the line from pulling all the way through;
Next, tie a small loop at the top for hanging;Attach the cone to the base with glue or staples, then display as desired.
