Example
Example: a six-house Christmas village on US Letter
A Christmas village for the windowsill: Houses A mix, Season Christmas with snow, Colour, 6 houses, design number 1, US Letter.
- One house to a sheet, six sheets, each headed with the house and its finished height.
- Design 1 gives a tower, a town house, a barn, a cottage, a shop and a second tower; another number changes the order, the colours and the details.
- Cut on the solid lines, crease every dashed line, glue the tinted strip inside the front wall and fold the floor in; the tower’s roof is four triangles, each glued under the next.
| Sheet | House | Base, width × depth | Height |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Tower | 3.8 × 3.8 cm | about 10.5 cm (4.1 in) |
| 2 | Town house | 4.4 × 4.2 cm | about 9.5 cm (3.7 in) |
| 3 | Barn | 6.4 × 5.0 cm | about 7 cm (2.7 in) |
| 4 | Cottage | 6.2 × 4.6 cm | about 7 cm (2.7 in) |
| 5 | Shop | 6.0 × 4.4 cm | about 7 cm (2.8 in) |
| 6 | Tower | 3.8 × 3.8 cm | about 10.5 cm (4.1 in) |
Six little houses, 30.6 cm side by side in a row, the two towers and the town house rising over the low barn, cottage and shop.
How it works
- Choose the houses — or a mix — in colour or to colour in.
- Print on card, cut along the solid lines and fold the dashed lines.
- Glue the tabs and set the houses up into a village.
Frequently asked questions
- How big are the houses?
- About 7 to 10.5 cm (2.7 to 4.1 in) tall: the cottage, barn and shop about 7 cm, the town house 9.5 to 10 cm and the tower 10.5 cm, each sheet giving its height. The bases are 3.8 to 6.4 cm wide.
- Which paper is best?
- Light card (160–200 g/m²) keeps the houses standing; score the fold lines first for sharp edges.
- Can children make them?
- Yes — from about six with some help; colour-in houses are a nice rainy-day craft.
- Is there a Christmas version?
- Yes — the Christmas village has snowy roofs, wreaths and lit windows. Add a battery tea light behind for a glow.
- How many houses fit on a sheet?
- One: each house prints large on a sheet of its own, on A4 and US Letter alike, so 6 houses make 6 sheets.
- Is anything uploaded?
- No. The templates are drawn in your browser.
