A simple diagram of a one-story house
Let's take a closer look at how to make a house out of paper with your own hands according to the schemes. The principle of drawing construction is as follows:
- two rectangles perform the function of the walls of the building - this is the first and third part of the structure;
- Figures 2 and 4 have the shape of a square base and a triangular part for the roof;
- the square or rectangle shown below is the floor of the future structure;
- draw a separate roof consisting of two paired rectangles.
The size of all groups of parts depends on the height and width of the structure.
How to make a house of paper next? Very simple. On the contours cut the workpiece with scissors. Do not forget to leave 1 cm of paper along the entire perimeter for folding and joining the elements together. Make these strips with beveled corners so that the paper does not clatter on the corners of the craft.
Only selected strips are smeared with glue. To do the job carefully, use a brush.
Square house
If all the walls of the house are depicted in the drawing as square, then the structure will turn out with equal sides. Before you make a house out of paper, consider the shape of the roof. For a small square house, it is better to make it high. Before assembling, parts of the building can be painted by drawing tiles on the roof, carving and decorating windows and doors.
You can draw carved shutters, green flowers, or a climbing plant on the wall of a building. Do decoration still in expanded form, right on the drawing. This is much more convenient, since the paper is on the table. It is inconvenient to decorate the walls in assembled form, you can crumple the structure when gluing.
Home for interior decoration

The collected houses with a candle inside will look beautiful in the evenings. For safety, the roof is made high, and the floor is not painted at all. The house is glued only on the roof and on the back side to the side. Light a small candle in a metal jar. Then the house is placed on top.

However, do not forget about safety measures, in order to prevent the fire of paper, you need to consider some important details. Paper for the house should be thick so that the craft under the weight of the roof does not deform and does not fall into the fire of a candle. Secondly, be sure to check that there is no draft in the room, so that the flame from the wind does not go to the side. It is advisable to use such a lamp in the winter, when all windows are closed tightly. After admiring the beauty, do not forget to put out the flame and take out the candle.

To play the princess or the knights, you may need not a simple house, but a round tower of the castle. Making a home-made mock-up of paper is even easier, because you only need to draw two details. This is a cylinder and cone. To draw a cylinder, you need to make the following drawing:
- base and top are two circles;
- the central part is a rectangle, the length of which is equal to the length of the circles, and the width is selected depending on the height of the tower.
The cone is easily made by turning the cylinder around. Cut off the bottom excess paper and glue the side. You can make the roof on a separate base of a circular shape. Then, when connecting parts with glue, a circle is smeared. On a still rectangular rectangular blank, they draw with markers or make applications with doors, windows, shutters, bricks, etc.
