Building the House

The first step will be to cut out the plywood pieces for the house and nail them together!

-Should also add exterior design so that it doesn’t look too plain.

Sand

Once the house is built you should sand any rough areas and smooth out the house.

Prepare Your Base

Here you will need a piece of plywood that your house can fit on. After you figure out the size you will add glue then proceed to pour your fake grass onto your base.

Adding House to Base

Once you have finished with your base you are now able to place your house on it.

Adding Dimension

In this step you will add some design to your house and you will start on the citing by using the regular popsicle sticks.

You will use big popsicle sticks for the brown design. You will be gluing three together and repeat, once this is done, you will add two top pieces a regular popsicle stick facing us and a big one on top.


For the citing you will need many regular popsicles, make sure to cut the ends so they are not round on both sides.

Doors

In this step you will need two pieces of remaining wood and cut them in half. You then paint them and add mini hinges on the back so that they can open up. You will also need to find something you can use for a door handle.

Making Pillars

In this step you will be making pillars for the outside of your house.

You will need four pieces in total. 2 Big, 2 small, popsicle sticks.

You will also need to cut them at an angle (as shown in the picture) since the roof is at an angle.

You will arrange them as shown in the 3rd picture.

You will now add the pillars, with the popsicle sticks matching accordingly to the roof and each other.

After you add them you can paint them any color.


Fence

You will now need to build your fence.

You will need to glue big popsicle sticks together, securing them with the regular ones. After you have made enough you will attach it to your base and paint it.

Backyard

After your fence is up you can now decorate your backyard however you would like.

What I decorated with is in photo number 1.

I made a pond with materials that you can find at any craft store. I added some trees and a little path.

Lights
