Both adults and children build match houses. Collecting houses from matches is easy - just have five boxes of matches and one coin, you don't need any glue. In addition, having mastered the technique of folding houses from matches, you will be able to build whole castles, churches and even match towns on their basis.
Instructions
Step 1
So, take an ordinary book - it will play the role of a working surface, place two matches on it parallel to each other so that they are directed with their heads in the same direction. The distance between the matches should be slightly less than the length of the match.
Step 2
Next, put eight more matches on top of these matches, and then place another layer of eight matches, perpendicular to the previous one.
Step 3
Next, form a well - it will be seven levels. Arrange the heads of the matches in a circle. Place the matches on top of each other in parallel to make a square well.
Step 4
Place eight matches on the roof of the well, then six more, perpendicular to the previous eight. Then place a coin on the topmost row of matches, pressing it with your finger.
Step 5
Do not remove your fingers from the coin and stick the matches vertically in the corners of the house, heads up. After sticking one match from each of the four corners and thereby fixing the corners, stick the matches vertically along the perimeter of the structure to strengthen the walls. In the process of the match of the bottom row, it is allowed to gently push it apart.
Step 6
To prevent the house from deforming, squeeze it with your fingers on all sides and pull the coin out of the upper tier. Press the vertical matches going along the perimeter of your "building" inward. Next, turn the house over, and then place it on the heads of vertical matches, which act as a foundation.
Step 7
Insert vertical matches on each side of the house to form the walls. Then, perpendicular to them, lay the same rows of matches on all sides, only horizontally. The heads of vertical matches should "look" upwards, horizontal ones - in a circle.
Step 8
To make the roof, insert additional matches in the corners of the house, and also slightly nudge the vertical matches of the walls from the bottom to raise them above the upper tier. Place the roof decking matches perpendicular to the top layer. After that, lay a new layer of matches on the roof, perpendicular to the previous one. Press down on the matches - the appearance of the tiles will be created.
