Miniature House #22 - Victorian
I love Victorian houses with its charm of towers and porches. This was the hardest house to design because of the tower extension. It was also a challenging model to put together.

Miniature House #20 - Mid Century Modern
I modeled this miniature after a house that I saw in Silver Spring, Maryland. While it is not an exact replica, it has many of the features that I like in a mid century modern home.
I used 65 lb. card stock.

Miniature House #19 - A Frame House
An A frame house is a very simple house to make. I recommend gluing the body of the house to the base before gluing the roof on. Please note that the roof has an asymmetrical overhang on both sides of the house.
I used 65 lb. card stock.

There is a bell inside the belfry on the top of this one room school house. It is attached to the belfry by a piece of thread. The windows slide into the bottom of the frame and are glued at the top of the frame.

Miniature House #17 - Split Level
This split level house was hard to design because of the two types of roof going in two different directions.

Miniature House #16 - A Haunted House
I spent a few days making this haunted house. It has a lot of embellishments with a tree, ghosts and pumpkins. The tree is made up of four copies of the same piece. They are glued together to form a four sided tree. The pumpkin and the cat are made with two copies of the same piece glued together. The tabs are inserted in the base in opposite directions and glued down so that the ornaments can stand up. The ghost is made of two copies of the same piece and the bottom is splayed in two directions to allow the ghost to stand up.
I used 65 lb. card stock.

Miniature House #13 - Two Story Colonial
This two story colonial is beautiful. It is a basic house which can be embellished in many ways. I am planning to add extended fronts and dormers to this house in future designs.
I used 65 lb. card stock to make this model. I bought this paper today at Joanns.

Miniature House #10 - A Cape Cod with a Shed Dormer and a Porch
I used card stock. I do recommend using a glue dot to make the porch. Insert the tab and use a glue dot to adhere to the paper. I am very impatient with the drying time of glue and glue dots work wonders.

Miniature House #7 - Origami Roof with a Porch
This house is the same as the previous house but with an added porch. I recommend making the porch and attach it to the house first. Insert the columns into the base and then construct the house around the base. Glue the roof on last. I used glue dots in the corners of the house because I am impatient and can't wait for the glue to dry.

Miniature House #6 - An Origami Roof
I love this house. It was difficult to design because of all of the roof angles. I enjoyed every minute of its creation. The roof design reminds me of origami with its mountain and valley folds. I made it easy to reproduce because I combined the triangles (less gluing). There is just one triangle that needs to be glued to the main roof piece to make the roof. There is no chimney because I didn't want it to visually interfere with the folds of the roof.
I used card stock.

Miniature House #5 - A Cape Cod with Extended V Front
This miniature house is probably my favorite so far. I like the extended V front. I changed the window size to make them a little bigger. No glue is necessary for the windows or door. They are bent into the house with the tabs facing inward. The same is true for the door. Fold the perforations and bend the sides inward.
I recommend bending all of the tabs before inserting into their respective slot as it makes it easier to glue. I discovered that gluing the chimney to the house with a glue dot makes the task easier.
I used card stock. I just bought some from Michaels.

Miniature House #3 - Cape Cod with Dormers
This miniature house is exactly the same as the Cape Cod. The added feature is two dormers to the front of the house and a different design on the front door. I added a scrap of white paper to the inside of the dormer to reflect light since the roof was red.
I used card stock.

Miniature House Pattern #1 - A Simple Rectangular House
I am going to make a series of miniature houses. Here is the first one. I used card stock to make it. I might add glitter later to make a Christmas village or add more embellishments. For now, I am going to make the basic house.
This design is also a box. The tab can be glued down if you do not want the box feature.
