We have a pile of cardboard boxes in our garage and they have been sat there since we moved house. I thought they would make a brilliant playhouse. I used a cereal box to mock up some designs but I think the small version is just great as it is.
It looks like miniature table-top scenery and would be perfect for DIY theatre productions!
They look great with the sun shining through them…
…and make a perfect home for playmobil/lego figures…
…and would be great for kids to customize.
Once I had designed them I simply used a craft knife and ruler to cut them out. It took about 20 minutes….well actually twice that because I spilt a whole cup of coffee over my first attempt. Craft and coffee don’t always mix!
You can download templates here!
How lovely!! I’d love a template if you’d be ok with sharing. Thanks!!
That is way too cool!

What a great idea! I would love a template, my free drawing skills are not that good
Yeah – glad you like…I was a bit uncertain about this one (I’ve not had a chance to road test it on the boys…think they are maybe a bit young??). I did a few templates so i’ll get them up within the week…Lucie….any card will do if your cereal box stocks are low….we get through tonnes of the stuff so have an abundance of boxes!
Wow, this is gorgeous, you are so talented and inventive. I’d love to have the template to craft one for my daughter. She loves cereals (munches them like a little squirrel, never with milk) and this is a fun project to make. Thank you for sharing this with us!
Oh my word, you do make the most adorable things!!!
It looks sooo good! I think that this will be next weekends craft!
Brilliant! It would be fab if you could post the template.
