Example
Example: a six-house Christmas village on US Letter cardstock, design 1
A family wants a village for the mantelpiece in December. Settings: Houses A mix, Season Christmas, with snow, Colours Colour, Houses 6, design number 1, paper US Letter, printed at actual size on white cardstock.
- Each house gets a page of its own, and the mix brings all five kinds before one repeats: tower, town house, barn, cottage, shop, then the tower again.
- The Christmas season adds snow on the roofs, wreaths and lit windows. At the top of each page: Christmas village, the house’s name and its finished height.
- Each page says how to build it: cut the solid lines, crease the dashed ones, glue the tinted strip inside the front wall, fold the floor under the bottom tabs, close the roof onto the tinted tabs.
- Design number 2 starts with the town house and brings other colours and details.
| Page | House | Height printed on the page |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Tower | about 10.5 cm (4.1 in) tall |
| 2 | Town house | about 9.5 cm (3.7 in) tall |
| 3 | Barn | about 7 cm (2.7 in) tall |
| 4 | Cottage | about 7 cm (2.7 in) tall |
| 5 | Shop | about 7 cm (2.8 in) tall |
| 6 | Tower | about 10.5 cm (4.1 in) tall |
paper-house.pdf, six pages: two towers for the ends of the mantelpiece and the lower houses between them. On a strip of cotton wool, with battery tea lights behind the windows — never real candles — it lasts the season.
How it works
- Choose the houses or a mix, in colour or to colour in.
- Print on card, cut and fold along the lines, glue the tabs.
- Arrange your village on cotton-wool snow with a few battery lights.
Frequently asked questions
- How many houses do I need?
- Four to six make a nice village; print several sets with different design numbers for a whole town.
- Can I light them up?
- Yes — put battery tea lights behind or inside; never real candles in paper houses.
- Is it a good advent craft?
- Yes — make one house each weekend in Advent.
- Can children colour them?
- Yes — choose outlines.
- How big are the finished houses?
- The cottage, barn and shop stand about 7 cm (2.7–2.8 in) tall, the town house about 9.5 to 10 cm (3.7–4 in) and the tower about 10.5 cm (4.1 in). Each page prints its house’s height at the top, in centimetres and, on US Letter, in inches too.
- Why does my village have two towers?
- A mix goes through all five houses — cottage, town house, shop, barn and tower — in an order set by the design number, then starts again, so a set of six repeats the first one. Change the design number for a different first house, or choose one kind under Houses for a whole street of it.
