House

This model is an update to the traditional origami house. You open it into a 3-D frame and then place the roof on top.

House Frame

Both sides of the House Frame paper are the same. Step 1 shows the proper position—the bricks run horizontally.

1. Fold the top edge to the bottom.

2. Fold and unfold the model left to right.

3. Fold the left and right edges to meet in the middle.

4. Fold and unfold the inner corners to the outside edge.

5. Insert your finger in the pocket, then spread and squash the flap to a tent-like shape.

Step 5 in progress.

6. Repeat step 5 on the left side.

7. Mountain-fold the two side flaps behind.

8. Unfold all four side flaps halfway, so that the model stands on its own.

Roof

Begin with the hidden (inside) side of the Roof facing you. Step 1 shows the back side of the paper with an X-ray view of the front to show the proper position. This model uses “pinch marks” to establish landmarks on the paper. To make a pinch mark, bring the edge or corner to where the arrow indicates, but instead of creasing all the way, press the paper down at one spot, leaving a little mark. Then release the paper.

1. Bring the left edge to the right and make pinch marks at the top and bottom.

2. Fold the left and right edges almost to the center; leave a gap of ¼ inch on each side. Use the dotted lines as guides.

3. Fold and unfold the bottom edge to the top.
