Model Cardboard House

Project type

Cardboard

Date

October 2023

In crafting the exterior of my model cardboard house, I employed resourceful techniques and materials, using hot glue and acrylic paint to create stone walls and paper for sconces. I meticulously peeled cardboard to craft ‘logs’ and applied a weathered, dark brown finish by mixing paint and water for a rustic cabin-like texture. The roof’s structural layout was thoughtfully planned, considering factors like rainfall, and then executed using carefully etched cardboard to simulate a log cabin roof. I distressed the cardboard to enhance authenticity for a weathered, imperfect look. I precisely measured windows and then cut and assembled them, with transparent saran wrap acting as glass. The deliberate omission of a rear wall invites exploration and observation. This creation represents a harmonious blend of resourcefulness and meticulous craftsmanship, transforming everyday items into an inviting miniature home that sparks curiosity and appreciation for design intricacies.
