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 one half log (21.1 cm) and one half log (3.6 cm) across the floor planks
•
1 cm from the edge of the base and evenly spaced from the ends.
Glue another half log (21.1 cm) and another half log (3.6 cm) 1 cm from the
•
other edge of the base 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
On a flat surface, arrange four “3 ridge” roof pieces (21.8 cm) and one “1
•
ridge” roof pieces (21.8 cm) with the ridges up and the thin edges facing
the same direction against a straight edge (square) as shown (3 ridge, 3
ridge, 1 ridge, 3 ridge, 3 ridge).
Spread glue along the thin edge of three of the 3 ridge pieces and the thin
•
edge of the 1 ridge piece. Press them together against the square in the
order shown to form one roof panel (3 ridge, 3 ridge, 1 ridge, 3 ridge, 3
ridge).
Repeat for the other roof panel (3 ridge, 3 ridge, 1 ridge, 3 ridge, 3 ridge).
•
Keep the panels square as you carefully slide them to one side and clean
•
any excess glue from the work surface. Set aside to dry.
Making the Flag
Step 3
With scissors, snip the sharp ends of the toothpick.
•
With printing out, fold the flag in half. Unfold the flag.
•
Spread glue evenly on the inside of the flag.
•
Ensure hands are clean of glue and place the toothpick in the crease fold.
•
Ensure the top of the toothpick is even with the top of the flag.
Evenly refold the flag over the toothpick, pinching it around the toothpick.
•
Making the Doors
Step 4
For the door hinge cut a (1 cm x 5.5 cm) flat piece of the paper bag
•
packaging.
Spread glue on the right edge of the right 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 distance
•
front and back.
Repeat for the other door.
•
Building the Belfry
Step 5
Lay the belfry 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 belfry piece
(with holes) as shown.
Lay one belfry piece (arrow shaped) with the good side down. Spread glue
•
straight across the belfry piece (arrow shaped) just above the top of the
arch. Attach the long edge of the belfry piece (with holes) with the picket
side toward the legs and the top side just below the corners of the belfry
piece (with holes) as shown. The belfry 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 belfry 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 belfry piece (arrow shaped) to the opposite long edge of the
•
belfry piece (with holes). Stand the belfry 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 belfy 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.
Building the Logs
Step 6 (sides - row 1)
Arrange two half logs (21.1 cm), two half logs (7.5 cm) and two half logs
•
(3.6 cm) on a flat surface as shown.
Use a 4 notched log (21.1 cm) and a 2 notched log (7.5 cm) as a guide to
•
determine the position of the half logs.
