To begin with, you need to collect everything that can be needed in the manufacture of such a house.

Tools and materials

In order to make the glasses you need a stripwide scotch tape. Cut off 2 pieces of scotch so that one is a little wider and longer, glue them together. At us it has turned out, that from edges there was a sticky strip, and the center not sticky. Now glue the "glass" to the window openings from the inside.
Finally, you can take paint (pencils, markers, etc.) and decorate the house the way you want.
Along the edges bend the reamer and gently glue it together. Do not forget about the roof of the house!
Glue dried - you can now admire your work.
