- Cut and score your Designer Series Paper as indicated on the Pop Up House Measurements file. Your paper should be 11-1/5"x6" scored at 1-1/4", 1-1/2", 5-1/2", 6-3/4", 8", and 11" along the long edge and at 1/4" and 2-1/4" along the short edge. The peaks are 3/4" from the top.
- Use the Pop Up House Windows & Door Template to trace where the windows and door should be.
- Use an x-acto knife to cut out the windows and two edges of the door.
- Decorate the inside of your house as desired.
- Punch a hole in the sides of the house. Feed doubled Baker's Twine through the hole and knot it.
- Adhere your house together on the side and top using sticky strip.
- Make the pull tabs by folding some card stock in half, inserting it into the Banner Punch so that the fold won't be cut off.
- Attach the pull tabs to the Baker's Twine.
- Decorate the outside of your house.
- Make a custom 3"x6" envelope using the Envelope Punch Board.
- Enjoy!

Could you be more specific about how the twine works - where on the sides do I punch the holes, how long should the twine be, and I don't understand how the mechanics of it works - how does it open and/or close the house? Thank you.
ReplyDeleteWhen the house is closed flat, the sides are tucked in. The baker's twine serves as a way to easily pull the sides out so that the house stands by itself. Just pull on the tabs and the house "pops up." I punched the hole in the center of the side as far as my punch could reach. You'll want about a 6" piece of twine, fold it in half and feed it though the hole. You will want the loop part on the outside and a knot on the inside of the house. Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.
