As soon as I saw pinned this project, I knew that I had to make these for my friends' boys. From Cook Clean Craft, she gave an awesome tutorial on how she made this, so it was easy to follow. I made a few adjustments and found one error in this tutorial.
In the part where she is giving measurements for her "blue roof", she says to cut out 2 pieces of 4 x 6", it should be 4 x 7". Also, it would be helpful to have instructions on where to cut. At the late hour, I couldn't think straight and made a mistake cutting one side. Luckily, my invisible thread patched it up! So, for cutting instructions, you're only making 4 cuts. You're cutting perpendicular to the 30" length. From handle to handle on both ends, you cut from the handle to the center of the base of the house. Don't cut anywhere else!
There's definitely room for creativity, but I only had one evening to get this done. I started at 9pm and got most of it finished by 1am. I got up at 5am and completed it by 7am. So, in total, I spent about 6 hours to complete this in its entirety.
I used a hot glue gun rather than Tacky glue or any other adhesive. Works really well. This is a present for one of my daughter's crib buddies, so hope he likes it!
