Tiny house – no dies required

Make a tiny house with no dies and no die-cutting machine!  Download template here:

If you’d rather not print, these are the measurements

right side – mark at 2”, 7”, 9 1/2”

left side – mark at 1/2”, 4”, and 9”

midpoint of peaked house front is 5 1/2” from left side of page

Template will use two pieces of 8 1/2 x 11 cardstock (or front and back of large cereal box) but scale on your copier to any size.  Final size as presented is 7 1/2” tall x 5” wide x 3” deep.

64% scale will take one sheet of cardstock and make a house 4 3/4″ tall. 50% scale will take one-half a sheet of cardstock and make a house 3 3/4″ tall.

Black lines are score lines.  Use a scoring tool or run a pencil or pen (with lead or ink retracted) along the score lines and fold against the edge of a straight table.  Red lines are cut lines.  Assemble with glue or double-sided tape.

Inspired by latest Ellen Hutson release, Summer Cottage by Julie Ebersole which you can find here https://www.ellenhutson.com/summer-cottage-by-julie-ebersole-essentials-by-ellen-designer-dies/ .  It’s super-cute, but do I need yet another tiny house die set?  No, no I do not.  But there’s the link in case you are not similarly over-supplied.  Assembled size is 3 x 4 x 3.

Other tiny house dies, because you know you like to look at houses:
