Conviviality Crafts: Easter House Ornament Tutorial

Hi there friends! Brandie here with a tutorial for the Easter house ornament. These little ornaments are darling hanging on spring branches but I also think they would make cute place settings for your Easter dinner table.

I used the House Ornament Easter Bundle from Lori's shop. Each ornament is also in the Silhouette store. Easter basket, Easter lamb, Chocolate bunny, Easter chick. and Easter bunny. The paper is textured cardstock in spring colors.

I uploaded all of the houses into Cricut Design Space, attached the score lines, and flattened the décor pieces (turned them into a print and cut) to make the decorating easier. I also color synced the white and yellow items.

Once everything was cut I folded the score lines. Most of the score lines are mountain folds except for the roof peaks. Valley folds shown below. I also inked the edges of my windows and doors.

While the house was still flat I glued the windows and doors first, then the grass. I added glue to the sides tabs then folded the house in half and tucked the tabs in to glue into place.

I then shaped the roof on the house. Folding the top tabs down into the house and pushing the sides of the house towards the center to create the eaves.

I then added glue to the inside corners then pinched together until dry. I applied glue to the top of house then lined up the hole in the roof with the whole in the house and held together while glue dried.

For the chimney I added glue to the outside tab and folded in half to create a box. Then added glue to remaining tabs and held down on roof until dry. (for my other houses I cut a small rectangle from scrap paper and glued to the bottom of the chimney then glued to the house.)
I then tied some decorative yarn into a loop and threaded through the whole in the roof.
