CABIN
Turn your white paper horizontally, fold over one-fourth of the paper, and cut that section off. Reserve the section for later.
Glue nine craft sticks horizontally onto the white paper. If you use plenty of glue, the excess will create a snowy effect.
Criss-cross the last two craft sticks to create the roof frame.
ROOF, SNOW, DOORS, & WINDOWS
Cut strips from the brown paper to glue horizontally onto the roof frame. Optional: round the ends of the strips.
IF you choose to add snow to your cabin scene, cut strips from the white paper scraps and make waves or pointy icicles for the edge of the roof, and glue them on.
Cut out windows from the white paper and narrow strips from the brown paper to frame them and the door.
Glue the windows, framing pieces if you choose, and the door.
GREENERY
From your green paper, cut out wreaths for your door, windows, and/or roof.
Cut out different types of pine and shrub trees.
Cut out tree trunks from the brown paper.
COMPLETE
Glue your wreaths onto the cabin.
Glue the trees and trunks around the cabin.
Optional: squirt extra glue onto the branches of the trees to create the snowy effect; it’ll dry raised, with a bit of white still visible. To make the white more pronounced, mix some white craft paint with glue and apply it with a paintbrush.
Let everything dry for about 10 minutes.
That’s it!
Happy crafting,
Amanda and Naomi
