1. mitre-saw two pieces of 18 cm and two pieces of 21 cm from a square strip and assemble them into a house using craft glue.
2. paint the house with grey craft paint and let it dry completely.
3. glue together 2 x 11 wooden spatulas each with two spatulas running across to form walls.
4. Paint the walls with white craft paint and add some accents with grey paint when dry.
5. paint the miniature door with white and grey craft paint and let it dry.
6. Now glue the coloured walls and the miniature door to the finished house.
7. Glue the finished façade onto a plywood board. For more stability, glue an additional piece of square strip behind the house.

Create a winter scene
1. prime the plywood with white craft paint and, when dry, create the scene with decorative snow. For small hills, cut some polystyrene into large shapes and work over them with the snow.
2. While the snow is still wet, work trees and other miniatures into the snow. Press small tracks into the snow with the decorative sledge and then position them in the snow landscape. Use the decorative snow to create a small snow angel on the plywood.
Crochet a door mat from jute string:
Cast on 8 air stitches, 3 turn air stitches, then crochet two rows in double crochet.
