Hey friends! I wondered when you would stop in! Let's talk about these cool folding buildings! I love to use them for my really tiny cars and trucks.
Let me show you how easy it is to make them! This is one of my favorite sets of buildings, because it has a garage for my little cars.
First, print the page on your printer, after clicking here to get the .PDF download. Set your printer for "landscape", so it doesn't cut off the edges.
Cut all the shapes out with sharp scissors. Your parents could help you with this, they will know what I mean when I say sharp. They don't have to be pointy, they just have to cut a clean edge.
Next fold the edges of the roof,Some of the buildings are better if you use a glue stick to stick the eaves (edges of the roof) together at this point.
Continue folding other grey and black lines. After you have folded them all, go back and crease them, leaving them folded this time. ( A lot of the buildings will stay together pretty well with no glue, but if you can make them this easy, why not glue them with glue sticks, and make them sturdier from the start?
Keep folding like the photos I have included, with the double folded tabs slipping between the ones on the oposite side of the building, till you have a standing, 3-D building like this!
Yours truly,
