4. Roof and fireplace: Cut a triangle into the cardboard or thick paper to form the roof of the house. Stick it on the top of the milk brick. Then use the remaining piece to create the chimney. Stick it to the back of the house.
5. Decoration: Let your imagination run free to decorate your Christmas home. You can add garlands, snowflakes, paper snowmen, etc. Use green paint to draw a nice Christmas tree near the house.
6. Finishes: Once you are satisfied with the decoration, let your creation dry completely. You can place a small LED candle inside the house to simulate a burning fireplace.
