- Always, first step is to cut the pieces of each house in the cardboard
Then, you only cover the stamped part of the box or some side if it is not stamped. You should stick very well for the outer edges as well as the doors and windows so that you can cut them easily.
To make the frames you must trace each one in the rubber EVA or foamy…
To mark the silhouette of the house over rubber EVA. Then, you cut leaving a margin of 2 millimeters from the line.
You can create the decoration as well as make snow by cutting strips of rubber EVA in an irregular shape. Also, you can add other pieces of boxes to make a window, a chimney or a roof to cover them in the same shape as the structure of the house.
Finally, you add cardboard floor and other many accessories such as wreaths and garlands made with chenilles, buttons, trees, etc. On the other hand, you place the lights. You can watch in the video how to achieve that they fit to the edge of the roof.
