Making
Tiny Hut Houses...
Materials needed:
Scrap cardboard or matboard, permanent
markers, white or stick glue (to glue
the pieces together)
White glue (Elmers) - should not be
washable glue- to seal the house before
finishing.
EnviroTex Lite (get at a craft store) or
Polyurethane pin back or magnet hot glue
gun (to attach the pin back/magnet)
Directions:
Cut the cardboard into triangles,
rectangles, and squares
Glue together to form a simple house.
Add small doors and windows out of
cardboard/matboard.
Use markers to design and color -
don't forget the edges and the back!
Sign the back (artist signature)
Paint a light coat of Elmer's Glue on
the house (to seal the markers and
add-ons) and let dry.
Mix up the EnviroTex (read the
directions). This stuff MUST be used
outside. If you can't use this
product, Put on about 4 coats of
Polyurethane (let dry between coats).
Drizzle onto the houses - aim for an
even coating. You only need to do the
front side and edges of the house.
Let dry overnight
Glue on a pin back or a magnet with a
hot glue gun.
Attach to a card if you wish.
Selling the Pins:
Of course, you may sell these however
you wish, however, we suggest that you
sell them for $5.00 each, if your
community can afford this price.
Where do you sell? We give each person
(who wants to sell) a set number to
sell. When they return with the money
for those pins/magnets, we give them
more if they wish to sell more.
Set up a table outside a store or
church and entice the patrons to
contribute. Send them to work with
parents of your class/group members.
