Warning:
CHOKING HAZARD – Small Parts. Not for children under 4 years.
Required tools:
scissors, damp cloth, straight edge (square), sand paper
(optional), tweezers (optional).
Helpful tips:
Read instructions, check all parts, and do a dry run before
gluing. Use only a small amount of glue. Glue one log and place before
gluing the next log. Keep each row of logs even and straight over the row
below (look from above for alignment). Periodically check that the door and
windows fit into the openings. Ensure the good side of the parts face out.
Tweezers may be useful for placing small parts. For the best fit and finish,
lightly sand the notches, the ends of the logs and other parts before gluing.
When finished enjoy your kit natural or paint some or all of it.
INSTRUCTIONS
Building the Base
Step 1
On a flat surface, glue the edges of the floor planks together as shown.
•
Use a square or straight edge for alignment.
Glue two half logs (10.5 cm) across the floor planks 1 cm from the edges
•
of the base and evenly spaced from the ends as shown.
Keep the base square as you carefully slide the base to one side and
•
clean any excess glue from the work surface. Set aside to dry.
Building the Roof Panels
Step 2
Arrange three “3 ridge” roof pieces with the ridges up and the thin edges
•
facing the same direction against a straight edge (square) as shown (3
ridge, 3 ridge, 3 ridge).
Spread glue along the thin edge of two 3 ridge pieces.
•
Press them together against the square or straight edge in the order
•
shown to form the left roof panel (3 ridge, 3 ridge, 3 ridge).
Repeat for the other roof panel (3 ridge, 3 ridge, 3 ridge).
•
Keep the panels square as you carefully slide each panel to one side and
•
clean any excess glue from the work surface. Set aside to dry
Making the Door
Step 3
For the door hinge cut a (1 cm x 4.5 cm) flat piece of the paper bag
•
packaging.
Spread glue on the left edge of the door (do not glue hinge to the back of
•
the door).
Place the paper hinge on the glued edge as shown. Ensure the plastic
•
side is facing out and the hinge is even with the back side of the door.
When the glue has dried, fold the paper hinge back on itself.
•
Glue the door knob into the hole in the door so it sticks out equal dis
-
•
tance front and back.
Building the Steeple
Step 4
Glue the cross piece [half log (3.6 cm)] evenly onto the cross piece [1
•
notched log (5.1 cm)]. Allow to dry.
Lay the steeple piece (with holes) flat with the smaller holes down. Glue
•
the thin edge of two pickets (2.3 cm) along the short edges of the steeple
piece (with holes) as shown.
Lay one steeple piece (arrow shaped) with the good side down. Spread
•
glue straight across the steeple piece (arrow shaped) just above the top
of the arch. Attach the long edge of the steeple piece (with holes) with
the picket side toward the legs and the top side just below the corners of
the
steeple piece (with holes) as shown. The steeple piece (with
holes) and pickets should be straight up. Allow to dry.
Thread the string through the hole in the bell. From the bottom, thread
•
one end of the string through one of the holes in the steeple piece (with
holes) and the other end of the string through the other hole. Pull the
string tight from the top and tie a double knot. Snip the ends of the
string.
Glue the other steeple piece (arrow shaped) to the opposite long edge of
•
the steeple piece (with holes). Stand the steeple up straight ensuring all
four legs contact the table and then lay it on it’s side as shown. Allow to
dry.
Spread glue onto the top edges of the steeple pieces (arrow shaped).
•
Center the two “3 ridge” roof pieces (4.4 cm) evenly over the gables so
•
the thin edges meet at the top.
Glue the bottom of the cross and insert it into the hole at the top of the
•
steeple. Ensure it is straight up.
Building the Fence Panels
Step 5
On a flat surface, arrange two fence rails (3.5 cm) parallel, with a 1.2 cm
•
space between as shown.
Evenly space four pickets across the rails. The bottom rail should be at
•
the bottom of the picket and the top rail should be approximately 0.2 cm
from the top of the pickets. One at a time, remove a picket and glue it to
the rails.
Repeat for the other three fence panels.
•
Building the Logs
Step 6 (sides - row 1)
On a flat surface, arrange two half logs (10.5 cm) as shown.
