3D Haunted House Cut-and-Fold Craft & Paper Model Template
Elementary art teachers, homeschoolers, and party hosts often look for engaging three-dimensional paper crafts, but many online paper models require complex geometry, exact hobby knife scoring, and toxic adhesives that are unsuitable for primary students. This 3D Haunted House craft utilizes an engineered, single-page isometric architectural net with wide, numbered fold tabs and interlocking base slots. Students can color the detailed Victorian mansion facade—complete with cracked windows, perched ravens, and peeking ghosts—while the paper is flat, then cut along solid exterior lines and fold along dashed scoring lines to create a free-standing paper house. The base accommodates a standard battery-operated LED tea light, turning the craft into an illuminated tabletop luminary.
