Instructions
-
Using a utility knife, cut a 24-by-83/4-inch piece of corrugated cardboard; score three times, evenly spaced about 6 inches apart. Fold into a box shape; secure with duct tape.
-
Draw or trace shapes for building's front onto cardboard, and cut out. Use a hot-glue gun to attach roof and architectural features, as shown.
-
Paint cardboard light and dark gray with acrylic paint. Add details with black tape and strips of newspaper (don't forget to add tape windows on the shirt as well). To wear, punch a hole on either side of the building, just above the ears. Tie a length of elastic through the holes, adjusting to fit.
