You can also cut out the sides to make a grand covered entrance or porte cochere for your house. To assemble the conservatory, cut out the main piece and fold it along the center line of the top crenelated. If you want, you can use a craft knife to cut out the white sections on the crenellations to make them more realistic.

To create a coconut finish, cut thin strips of colored or clear cellophane into short lengths. You can also use clear or iridescent Sulky embroidery threads cut into short lengths.

Spread a thin layer of glue on the walls of the cottage, avoiding the windows. Spread your prepared coconut finish over the glued areas, pressing gently in place. Use tweezers to gently push back any pieces that overlap the windows.

If you find the posts are too much trouble to make from paper, cut lengths of dowel or round toothpicks to the correct length and paint them with acrylic paint.

Cut the black tabs on the front porch section so that each side of the porch has one tab attached. Fold the sides down and use the tabs to glue a basic box lid shape. Trim the porch base if necessary to make it sit flat. To finish the assembly of the full porch cottage, glue one long side of the porch base to the cottage front below the door, centering it on the door as shown.
