I spent way too much time on Pinterest looking at house shapes. Here’s the takeaway: simple is better. I went with a rectangular base, a slanted roof, and three windows—two square ones and a round one on the roof. Oh, and a chimney, because the photo holder wires would stick out from there like “smoke.” (I loved this detail—it makes the whole thing feel whimsical.)
I sketched my design, printed it out, and used it as a template to cut the shapes from cardboard. If you want the roof to overhang, make the side pieces slightly longer. Trust me, it looks way more polished.
