Top Tip:


I like to use a razor blade
(very carefully!) as the long
straight edge is useful for
cutting straight lines.

1 Photocopy the templates or cut
them out. Place onto a foam pad
and use a pin to prick a hole through
every corner. Roll out the pale grey
fl ower paste, place the template on
top and push the pin into each hole,
marking the paste below.

2 Use a Dresden tool or similar
to score over the dotted lines,
leaving a faint impression in the
paste below.

4 Carefully cut out the windows,
producing a complete piece then
place into a plastic wallet to stop
it drying.

3 Remove the template and cut out
the houses, joining the dots made
with the pin.

5 Repeat with the second and
third templates using the mid
and dark grey, the colours
corresponding to the template,
storing fi nished pieces in the
plastic wallet.

6 Use a little water to wet the
back of the mid grey pieces and
place them onto the pale grey,
lining up the roofs. If the bottom
edge is not quite straight/
matched up you can trim it
once assembled. ➜
