DIY: Pilgrim House

Today I am going to share a DIY Pilgrim House we helped our daughter build for her class project.

Materials/Tools Needed

• Popsicle sticks
• Glue Gun and Glue Sticks
• Cardboard
• Beads
• Hay (we used Aspen pads for the roofing)
• Elmer’s glue
• Spray Paints
• Paint or Markers

Step by Step (for this project):

• Cut out pieces of cardboard and put the walls of your house together
• Cut out a piece of cardboard for the roof and set aside
• Build your chimney and attach it unto the roof
• Using your glue gun, glue the Popsicle sticks unto the walls of the house, except the roof
• Spray paint the walls of the house, let dry and secure the roof
• Build a door and window using Popsicle sticks and paint them
• Generously apply Elmer’s glue unto the roof and secure your hay
• Apply glue using the glue gun to the base of the house and stick to the floor.

It was a fun project to work on and the reward was equally great!
