PAPER HOUSESCreate a 3D House or Cabin
COOL EXAMPLES!
What ours will possibly look like…
STEP 1: Sketch a Floorplan
Requirements:
• Kitchen• Bathroom• Bedroom 1• Bedroom 2• Living Room• Laundry Room• Dining Room
Base: 12”x 20”
STEP 2: Get a 12”x20” firm base
STEP 3: Draw Floor Plan on Base
You might want to start with the front doorTIP: Use a pencil and ruler!
Use Architectural Symbols
Scale
• 1/2”=1’ (half an inch = one foot)
STEP 4: NEATLY Label and Measure each Room
If a room is 6” x 8” actual size, put 12’ x 16’ beneath the room name.
Don’t forget hallways! They should be at last 3’ (1-1/2”) wide
STEP 5: Walls & Windows
• Cut 4” strips of additional thick paper.• Cut each wall to the correct length for each
room, hallway, etc.• Carefully cut windows and doors out of each
wall where they need to be. Only cut three sides for each door to create a hinge! Use an Xacto knife and metal ruler. BE CAREFUL!
• Hot glue or tape each wall in place. Glue walls together for stability.
STEP 6: External Walls• Cut two 4” tall walls for the front and back of
the house.• Cut two 8” tall walls for the two shorter walls.– These shorter walls will have “gables” (triangular
shaped peaks).
STEP 7: Add a Roof
• Cut a thick piece of paper about ¼” wider and longer than the house.
• Fold it in half length-wise.• Set it in place.
STEP 8:
• Glue house to a green piece of construction paper that is 2” larger than the house on all sides.
DONE!!!
