  Step 1

  Once you have printed out your PDF (preferably on card-stock), it will look like the image below...

• 

  Step 2

  Next, cut out all six squares (4 sides, 2 roof), making sure you cut "outside" the grey lines. Then, tape the "sides" together... (I used clear heavy-duty packing tape)

• 

  Step 3

  Fold each seam, to form a box, and tape it closed...

  (Make sure you form your box with the printed sides, inside the box)

• 

  Step 4

  Then, take the two "roof" pieces and tape them together in the center...

• 

  Step 5

  folding them to form a pitched roof.

• 

  Step 6

  Now, you will simply take your roof

• 

  Step 7

  , and tape it to two "sides."

• 

  Step 8

  ...

• 

  Step 9

  It should look like this...

• 

  Step 10

  Note that all the printed "side" and "roof" pieces are inside the box. Also, it is a bottomless box, but you can always make a bottom if you choose, out of anything you wish.

  Step 11

  There you have it. Now the super fun part begins with embellishing. I used all sorts of scrap papers I had, and hot glued them onto the outside walls of the house (smoothing the hot glue from the inside with a popsicle stick).

  I also hot glued moss to the roof, and cut out a little book page to fit in the roof openings. Then I created awnings, again with the help of hot glue. (Please do be very careful if you use hot glue)

  Step 12

  There you have it, your very own Little Paper House...

  With much love, from my little house, to yours ;)

  I do hope you have a chance to make some of these. And, if you would like to share photos of your little paper house, do send them my way and I will post them ~
