3. To assemble the housing of the house, it is necessary to prepare 3 short strips. Glue stripes on the bases of 3 sides of the house.
4.Then cut out 4 long stripes. Using these strips we will fix the side walls of the house. First, we fasten together 2 sides of the house.
5. Fix one more side of the house. For strong fastening, we use stable elements that support the walls during gluing.
6. Carefully lay the front wall with the cutout on top of the prepared fasteners and press lightly.
7.To ensure the strength and stability of the structure, it is necessary to cut additional details.
8. We fix the walls of the house above and below with the help of prepared parts.
