Greetings to all…

This is another project I started quite a while ago but set aside for some reason…it’s my version of a vintage ornament size house I saw on the internet…mine is as close as I could get without having the original to measure exactly…see the PDF below for the free pattern...

I did size the base to 3” x 4 1/2” x 3/4” to fit the “PACK-O-FUN” houses…go here to see all the houses in this category…

The “PACK-O-FUN” houses are among my favorites…they’re easy to make, don’t take a lot of room to display and are easy to store…

A picture of the finished house will be posted later…stay tuned…

My very best regards…

Howard…

Another terrific project, Howard; thanks for the plan and dimensions. It's very helpful for getting a sense of the size, not readily apparent in the wonderful photograph(s). Eventually I'll get around to trying my hand at this scale.

Paul
