So the middle gable is the one where I should have cut out the windows and door. I'll show you the problem it causes in the next photo. Here is my tutorial on using an arbor press and dies to cut out windows and doors in your paper houses. One important tip about cutting out the doors - don't cut all the way to the bottom of the house. You need the house to be intact at the very bottom to keep the house square. Otherwise it will bend at the doorway.

See the strip of cardboard below the door? Here's one problem with cutting the windows and door where I did - the glue tab shows in the windows. I had to cut it down to hide it better. Glue flaps on the gable ends OVER the rectangular roof flaps.

This helps keep your paper house square and prevents the gable ends from bending inward. Since I had to make 20 houses I debated about what to do with the windows and the door. I finally decided to just cover them with tissue paper inside the house. There are light holes on the back and underneath. The houses are so small that they could be perched on a Christmas tree branch if you wanted and a small light bulb from the Christmas lights would fit underneath or on the back.

Another option for windows and doors is to copy the ones on the original Putz houses. Paul Race, who hosts the CardboardChristmas. Find the size you like and cut the appropriate sized hole for the windows or door. I just didn't have time to do all that for 20 little houses. The house with the tab is 8.

The paper template for this house has a roof pattern on it. Also there are two chimney variations as well. The base is thicker cardboard painted with one of my very favorite green colors - Tim Holtz Distress Paint Mowed Lawn.

I think that's all of them. Oh, I did paint one of them with Walnut Stain before I decided to go with more colorful options. I just love these colors. You can download the free "Easy Paper House" pattern at my Paper Glitter Glue library by signing up for my newsletter on the form below.
