Step 1: To build the side walls, place 10 Step 2: Place 2 craft sticks across each Step 3: For the
For the front cabin wall, take 10
craft sticks, one above the other and shift
every second craft stick to the right by
1cm. Ensure that all the inner and outer
ends are perfectly aligned, or use the
SIDE WALL template as a guide. Repeat
this step for the second side wall.
Step 4: To create the front and back
walls, line up the craft sticks from Step 3
as pictured above, or use the FRONT
and BACK WALL templates as a guide.
Make sure the sticks join at the trimmed
ends, and alternate the order of short
and long craft sticks with each row.

wall and draw trim lines across the ends
so each craft stick fits within the perim-
eter. Trim away the ends along the lines
and then glue them back in the same
position to secure the pieces together.
Step 5: Using a ruler, draw a door and a
window on the front wall. Ensure that
there is a 2cm gap in between the door
and window. Then cut the marked craft
sticks along the lines one at a time and
place the pieces you’re keeping back
into its original place. Use the FRONT
WALL template as a guide if necessary.
craft sticks and trim 1cm off one end of
each stick. Cut another 5 whole craft
sticks exactly down the middle. Repeat
this step for the back cabin wall.
Step 6: Repeat Step 2 to glue all the
pieces together for the front and back
walls. You will need an extra craft stick in
in the middle for the back wall, and one
in between the window and the door for
the front wall).
Step 7: Cut the craft sticks for the
window and door frames to size. For
the corner joints, cut the ends off the
craft sticks at a 45-degree angle. Use
the WINDOW and DOOR templates
as a guide if necessary. Glue the
pieces over the trimmed edges on the
front wall panel.
Step 9: Glue 1 and a half craft sticks
flat on each of the longer top edge of
the structure. Allow some overhang
on the outer sides.
Step 12: Glue the two panels together
at the trimmed edges on 90-degree
angle. Split a wooden peg and glue
the halves along the inner corner joint
to reinforce it, as shown.
Step 8: Interlock the side edges of the
4 wall panels to form the base of the
house structure. Ensure the vertical
craft sticks are on the inside.
Step 10: To make the roof panels, line
up two lots of 19 craft sticks side by
side. Draw a straight cutting line
across, 1cm from the bottom and trim
off the ends.
Step 13: Glue 4 craft sticks (cut to
size with all the round edges trimmed
off) along the top edge of the roof
structure. Once the glue has dried,
place roof on top of the cabin walls.
For each of the corners, glue
2 additional craft sticks on the
inside for reinforcement.
Step 11: Glue craft sticks across
the roof panels, as shown above, to
secure the pieces together. Glue 1
craft stick across the middle, 2cm
from the untrimmed side. Use the
ROOF PANEL template as a guide if
necessary.
Line up craft sticks as shown above
to create a base (floor) for the cabin.
Glue craft sticks across to fix the
pieces together. Turn over and place
the cabin on top.
