Description

Bring a whole little village to life with your own hands! This charming craft kit gives you everything you need to assemble and decorate a collection of 11 uniquely shaped cardboard houses — each one different, each one waiting for your personal creative touch. Made in Lithuania from eco-friendly materials, this is a rewarding hands-on project for crafters of all ages, from the very young to the very old.

What is included

The set contains 11 flat-packed, pre-cut corrugated cardboard house pieces with clearly marked parts, plus an illustrated step-by-step gluing instruction guide. The houses are made from eco-friendly 1.55mm E-grade corrugated cardboard. Please note that glue is not included — PVA glue (D2 type recommended) applied with a brush, or a hot glue gun, will be needed for assembly.

The assembled house dimensions range from small accent pieces to larger focal buildings:

House 1 — 14.5 × 7.0 × 14.2 cm | House 2 — 7.0 × 7.0 × 17.0 cm | House 3 — 5.5 × 4.5 × 5.2 cm | House 4 — 14.5 × 9.0 × 14.2 cm | House 5 — 13.0 × 10.5 × 9.2 cm | House 6 — 10.5 × 5.3 × 10.6 cm | House 7 — 11.5 × 7.8 × 8.5 cm | House 8 — 12.5 × 7.5 × 9.0 cm | House 9 — 6.2 × 6.2 × 14.0 cm | House 10 — 17.0 × 10.0 × 9.5 cm | House 11 — 12.5 × 7.5 × 9.0 cm

Benefits

The white cardboard surface is a completely open canvas — perfect for painting, colouring, decoupage, cutting, or any other decoration technique you can imagine. The sturdy E-grade corrugated construction means that once assembled, the houses are surprisingly light yet robust and long-lasting, making them suitable as permanent decorations. The kit is made entirely from eco-friendly, recyclable materials and is produced locally in Lithuania. The varied sizes and shapes of the 11 houses create a naturally dynamic and visually interesting village scene straight out of the box. The illustrated assembly guide makes the process accessible to beginners and children, while still offering creative depth for more experienced crafters.

How it works

Open the flat kit (49 × 15 × 3 cm, 0.32 kg) and lay out all the pre-cut, labelled house pieces. Follow the included illustrated gluing guide to assemble each house — the numbered parts and clear diagrams make it straightforward even for first-timers. Apply PVA glue with a brush or use a hot glue gun to join the pieces. Once all 11 houses are assembled and dry, decorate them however you like — paint, draw, collage, add texture, wrap with fabric, or leave them natural. Arrange your finished village into a display scene.

Use cases

This kit shines as a long-term family project — with 11 houses to build and decorate, it offers hours of shared activity that everyone from toddlers to grandparents can contribute to in their own way. It is widely used in craft therapy and group workshops, where the hands-on building process encourages focus, calm, and a sense of accomplishment. For educators and teachers, it’s a rich tool for art classes, fine motor development, and collaborative projects. It also serves as a stunning seasonal or year-round home decoration once complete — a handmade village that carries genuine personal meaning. And as a gift, it’s a thoughtful, creative alternative to conventional presents, ideal for anyone who loves making things with their hands.
