You will need to glue the cardboard walls from the inside using small inserts from the same cardboard. For these purposes, ordinary PVA stationery glue will be enough.
3. Before gluing 4 cardboard walls of the frame structure, you will need to make the necessary holes in the square components, which play the role of windows and doors. Naturally, if the child does not plan to make windows in the house, then there is no need to cut them out.

6. The charming house is almost complete. It remains to take care of its roof. When the main structure is completely dry from the glue, you need to make this part. To do this, you will need to cut 2 triangular parts with the same dimensions from the cardboard.
7. The cut triangular components are glued to opposite sides of the cardboard house. From above, additional fastening by means of a crossbar made of the same thick cardboard will be required.
8. The remaining sides of the roof are attached to the fixed crossbar. In order for these components to hold more tightly, it is necessary to reinforce them with pieces of adhesive tape from the outside.
9. The roof of a homemade house can be additionally decorated using fallen autumn leaves. Several multi-colored leaves are glued to the base of the craft. They can even be stacked in several layers. At this stage, the process of making a classy house from cardboard and sticks will be completed.
