This was an incredibly fun project but I was extreamly dissapointed that you’re expected to just glue all the pieces together. I sewed or crocheted all my adornments to the house and made an insert out of plastic canvas rather than cardboard so that it will last for years to come. I also crocheted a bottom to my house to make it a bit more solid. All in all, it is a nice pattern, just not one that I could follow to the letter.
