THE GHOST HOUSE –

 ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS  page 10.

Remove the LAMP POST from Page 15 by cutting around the outside black lines. 
Fold DOWNWARD along the blue center line and then fold UPWARD along both 
green lines. Glue the two lamp panels together, but don’t glue the bottom panels 
(with the dark rectangles) together. The piece should now resemble Figure 30. 
Fold the bottom panels together and cut away the white areas around the lamp 
post. Trim if needed and darken the edges with a black marker if you wish. Then 
spread the two bottom rectangles back out and use them to attach the lamp post to 
the lawn. There’s a small square stone just to the left of the sidewalk, position the 
lamp post over this stone and glue in place as shown in Figure 31.

The trees are completely optional. If you wish to add them, they can be glued to 
the inside or outside of either the front or back fence. They can also stand 
anywhere in the yard by using the TREE STANDS on Page 22. I recommend using 
the taller trees in back and the shorter trees in front. 
To assemble each tree: remove the tree from its page by cutting along the outer 
black lines. Fold DOWNWARD along the blue center line and glue the two panels 
together. Cut away the white area around the tree, trim as needed and darken the 
edges with a black marker if you wish. To help keep the tree standing upright, 
gently curve the tree around a cylindrical object (such as a round table leg or a 
glue stick) to give it a slight curve. If the tree will be standing in the yard instead of 
glued to a fence, cut out a TREE STAND from Page 22. Fold DOWNWARD along 
the blue line between the two triangular panels. Fold the two brown rectangular 
panels UPWARD and then fold the two green panels UPWARD. Glue the two 
triangular panels together. The piece should now resemble Figure 32. Attach the 
two brown rectangular panels to the back of the tree as shown in Figure 33 and 
then use the two green tabs to glue the tree anywhere you wish on the lawn.

And that completes the assembly of this model. Congratulations! 
You’re now the proud owner of a very haunted house.
