THE GHOST HOUSE –

 ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS  page3.

HOUSE ASSEMBLY:
Begin by cutting out the HOUSE FRONT on Page 1. Cut between the two tabs with 
yellow dots to separate them. Fold all four triangular tabs DOWNWARD. Fold the 
wall panels DOWNWARD along the blue line and UPWARD along the green line. 
Glue the tabs with yellow dots directly over each other. The piece should now 
resemble Figure 1.

Next cut out the LEFT SIDE and RIGHT SIDE on Page 2.  Fold the triangular tabs 
DOWNWARD and then fold the front tabs and back tabs DOWNWARD.  Connect 
both SIDE pieces to the HOUSE FRONT by gluing the front tabs to the inside of 
the HOUSE FRONT. Be sure the side with 3 windows is on the left and the side 
with 2 windows is on the right. 

Now cut out the HOUSE BACK on Page 3. Fold the two triangular tabs 
DOWNWARD. Connect the HOUSE BACK to the two back tabs on the SIDE 
pieces. For all four outer corners of the house, glue the tabs directly over the 
adjoining tabs of the same color. There’s an extra blank gray tab on the LEFT 
SIDE piece, don’t glue it to anything yet. The model should now resemble Figure 2.

Cut out the TOWER on Page 4. Fold the four rectangular tabs DOWNWARD and 
then fold the large gray tab and the four wall panels DOWNWARD along the blue 
lines. Glue the large gray tab to the back of the opposite side panel. The TOWER 
has a blank brown area. Attach the TOWER to the HOUSE FRONT by gluing this 
brown area directly over the matching brown area on the HOUSE FREONT, as 
shown in Figure 3.

Starting to look a bit haunted already, isn’t it? Now we’ll add the roof. Start by 
cutting out the ROOF FRONT on Page 5. There’s a small white rectangle between 
the shingle panel and the gray bottom panel. Cut away this white area (you may 
want to use an X-acto knife for this). Next cut out the ROOF BACK on Page 6. 
Glue the ROOF FRONT’s center tab to the back of the ROOF BACK’s shingle 
panel, forming a piece like the one shown in Figure 4. Now fold DOWNWARD 
between the two shingle panels and fold the gray bottom panel (with the arrow) 
DOWNWARD along the blue line. Fold the two darker gray tabs (with green dots) 
and the two lighter gray tabs (with red dots) DOWNWARD. Fold the large gray 
bottom tab DOWNWARD and then fold the two triangular wall panels 
DOWNWARD. Glue the two small dark gray tabs (with green dots) to the inside of 
the adjoining triangular wall panels. Then glue the two light gray tabs(with red dots) 
to the insides of the triangular wall panels and glue the large gray bottom tab to the 
inside of the opposite gray bottom panel. To attach the roof to the house, Place 
glue on the following corner tabs on the house: the blue tab, the red tab, the purple 
tab and the blank gray tab.
