Assemble the Floors
Straight Front Buildings
- Crease the building along the side fold lines, making sure the interiors fold crisply.
- Cut out the floors Test fit them to make sure they fit in the slots between the floor support and the baseboard of the wall paper above. Trim them to fit if necessary.
- Run a small line of glue along the two sides and back of the first floor.
- Glue the floor in place
by sliding it carefully into the slot between the floor support and the wall paper baseboard. - Press the sides of the building gently against the floor to ensure the glue adheres. Lay the building on its side and weight the top side with a ruler until the walls are glued to the floor.
- Repeat these steps for the remaining floors.
Assemble the Roof
- Cut out the two dark roof sections beside the store street facade. The bottom edge is facing down on the print.
- Test fit the roof to make sure the overhang is correct.
- Glue the roof pieces to a scrap of card or paper with the top edges touching.
- Fold the roof to the correct angle for the peak of the shop.
- Apply glue to the peak of the house and the top wall edges. Set the roof in place on the shop with a slight overhang on the front of the shop. The roof should line up with the back walls of the shop. Press the roof in place and set it aside to dry.
