a: The window Cut a piece of plexiglass or thin glass to the size of your window, about a thread larger than the window hole and squeeze it into the hole. Leave more windowsill in the inside, about one quarter outside and 2 quarts inside. Cut 2 stripes of the painted cardboard, as long as the window and 7 millimeters wide and glue onto the pane. Pic 40 (right) Do the same on the inside and fit in the upper and lower parts. Pic 41 Fit in the upper and lower parts on the outside Pic 42	Pic 40

Fit in a " window cross " on the outside and inside of the window, about 5 millimeters thick. Pic 43, 44 Pic 43 Pic 44
On the inside of the window, add a small frame at the INNER line of the first frame and put one small stripe onto the vertical piece of the cross. This resembles the pains, which can be opened. Pic 45	Pic 45
On the outside of the window, add a small frame at the OUTER line of the first frame and put a small stripe onto the vertical piece of the cross. Pic 46 I know, this is tricky and always costs me blood sweat and tears, but I promise, it is the trickyest part of the whole project.	Pic 46
b: The brickwork Cut several bricks from your sheet of paper brick or use whatever bricks you got and glue them into the places of your desire as shown in Pic 47,48 Pic 47 Pic 48
c: The shutters: Cut two pieces of unpainted cardboard , about 2 mm bigger than your window. Cut in the middle, so that you have 4 equal pieces. Cut two of them into small stripes, about 4 mm thick, but DON’T use a ruler, cut freehand! Bend them to make cracks and mix them. Pic 49	Pic 49
Glue them onto the other two parts Pic 50	Pic 50
Cut thin stripes and glue a frame onto the shutters Pic 51	Pic 51

Paint the shutters (both sides), the triangles (all around) and the underside of the roof in Umber Green. Pic 57	Pic 57
