Materials

  • Chipboard
  • Haunted house template

Instructions

  • Right click on the template, print and scale to the size you need your haunted houses to be.
  • Print a sheet of houses out and cut them out.
  • If you choose to make your houses out of chipboard, you will need to transfer the haunted house images to the chipboard.
  • If you make your houses out of paper, you can just fold along the lines. If you use chipboard, you will need to score along the lines with a craft knife and then fold.
  • Add a small amount of Elmer's Craft Bond glue to the folded edges of the front of the house.
  • Attach the roof to the front of the house first and then attach the sides.
  • Hold edges in place for about a minute. The glue should have grabbed hold by now.
  • Glue the back of the house in the same way as the front, getting the roof into place before attaching the sides.
  • Rub any glue globs into the crevices of the house and allow to dry.
  • Now you can use your little house for making ornaments, a Halloween village etc etc!
