- Draw a line across the flattened box blank, halfway up from the base. Cut lots of 1cm wide strips of brown self-adhesive foam and stick them to the box to look like timbers. (pic a)
- Leave spaces for windows and a door by placing horizontal pieces between uprights. Cover both sides of the box blank, but make sure that you cut the strips where the box folds so that it can be assembled more easily.
- To make the windows, colour in a piece of white self-adhesive foam with a pale blue fibre tip pen, blot off the excess ink with a tissue then use a fine black pen to mark in the lead panels. Cut the windows to size and fit in the gaps, adding frames from thin strips of brown foam. (pic b)
- Take two pieces of A5 white card and draw a 15cm wide isosceles triangle in the middle reaching from one edge of the card to the other. Fold the card along the drawn lines and trim away the bottom two corners outside the triangle. This will be the front and back of the roof. Decorate the card with timbers as before. (pic c)
- Cut two pieces of orange card 15cm by 18cm. Lay flat and join together with double-sided tape on the short edge to make the roof. Cut lots of 2cm squares from red and orange self-adhesive foam and use these as tiles for the roof. (pic d)
- Stick the white card triangles inside the orange roof with double-sided tape and place it on top of the made up box.
