Top Tip
Apply two coats of paint to the wooden craft sticks to make the colours brighter.
How to Make
- Take a sheet of A4 card in your chosen colour and fold it in half.
- With the fold line along the left hand side draw the shape of a house onto your card, approximately 10.5cm wide and 16.5cm tall. Cut out the shape using scissors.
- Take fourteen craft sticks and paint seven in your chosen colour and the other seven white using acrylic paint.
- Leave to dry then apply a second coat of paint on top. Leave to dry.
- Lay the craft sticks next to each other, alternating the colours, with the long ends of the sticks touching.
- Make sure the ends of the sticks are all in line with each other.
- Cut away the edges from the top three craft sticks at an angle, on either side.
- You might want to ask an adult to help with this step as this could be hard for a child to do with scissors.
- Apply some glue all over the front of the card you have just cut out and then stick down the craft sticks.
- Take another four craft sticks and paint these in your chosen colour.
- Leave to dry then apply a second coat of paint on top. Leave to dry.
- Apply a small amount of glue to the back of each one and stick these to the diagonal edge of the top craft sticks to create the roof. Leave to dry.
- Cut out a small rectangle from self adhesive foam approx. 5 x 8cm then stick this to the front of the beach hut. Cut out a round life ring from foam and stick this to the front of the door, then stick down a small white button to the front of the door to create the handle.
- Cut a length of ribbon and stick this just above the door.
- Cut out four triangle shapes from your chosen foam colour then stick these to the ribbon to create the bunting.
