5 1/2" high at the center of the house with book inserted
6" wide from roof edge to roof edge
Materials:
2 Coasters - 4" x 4" thick cardboard coaster (restaurant kind)
Empty tea box - cut in half (dispose of top 1/2)
String
8 Eyelets
12 sheets of paper cut to 4" x 4"
2 shells
Decorative Paper

Two coasters are cut 5/8" from one end.   They're covered in decorative paper and assembled as a hinged stab binding.

The tea box, shown naked, was covered in decorative paper.

This would be cute as a Chalet or a Cabin.
