– A bucket of flat little rocks** – A piece of heavy-duty cardboard – Scissors (for trimming cardboard) – A tube of this stuff (this is the “magic” to make them last!) – (You’ll need one of these to go with that magic stuff) – “Roofing materials” – birch bark, twigs etc. – Wood glue – Popsicle sticks – Bright acrylic paint & paintbrush (optional)
Use your clear silicone to “glue” the stones together. (The silicone should be weatherproof, so your house will be able to go outside without disintegrating! It seems to have NO problem sticking stone to stone. Woohoo!)
Don’t worry about those holes along the pitch of the roof. You can fill those in later. What matters most is that your popsicle sticks are more or less level with one another & flat to build on.
I just used the tin snips to trim some popsicle sticks into a “door” shape and glue them together. In hindsight, I could have used more birch bark or twigs or something to make this even more “all-natural”.
