Step 1
Take a paper and draw a template for the cabin. Cut out each part out of the template, it includes- 2 pieces for roof, 1 piece for front, 1 piece for back, 2 pieces for both sides.
Step 2
Collect as many twigs as possible. Make sure that all of them are of the same size.
Step 3
Place the twings (one-by-one) on the template, mark the area that matches with the template size and use the x-acto knife to cut the twigs on the marked area. Measure and cut twigs from a side for each part of the template. This should take a while.
Step 4
When you'll have all the twigs ready for the cabin, arrange them on the template appropriately.
Step 5
I applied wood glue on top of the arranged twigs, especially between every 2 twigs. Allow the glue to dry.
Step 6
After the glue dries use the wood glue to join all the parts of the cabin together. Don't forget to use smaller twigs to form the window.
Later on I added a door to the cabin made out of cardboard.
Step 7
Take 2 small twigs (one small and another one relatively longer), white marker pen and wood glue. Write 'welcome' on the small stick using white marker pen and glue it on the longer stick horizontally with wood glue, allow the glue to dry.
Step 8
Place the cabin on anything hard and flat. I made a flat concrete piece for it. Glue the cabin on the flat surface and also glue the welcome sign in front of the cabin. Add more features to the cabin if you want to. Enjoy!
