Hershey’s House Tutorial

Several weeks ago I was asked if I could come up with a design for a Hershey’s House. Thanks for your suggestion Susan H. I think the Hershey's house design would make a darling house-warming or welcome gift.

The roof was easy enough to make out of kisses, but for the base I switched to Hershey’s Nuggets. I chose bright colors for these houses, because I loved the bright colors of the houses I saw on our beach vacation over Spring break. I have left the back of the house open, so that the recipient can see what the house is made of. :)

If you would like to make your own Hershey’s House, just follow my step-by-step instructions below. I recommend Stampin’ Up! card stock for all my Hershey’s tutorials. Its 80 lb weight is perfect for holding my designs together. For a complete supply list and link to my Stampin’ Store, please see the end of this tutorial.

Hershey’s House Tutorial

Step One

1. To make the roof, start with a 6-¾” x 1” strip of Smoky Slate card stock. On the long side, score at the 2-1/8”, 4-¼”, 6-3/8” marks.

---

Step Two

2. Put a piece of sticky strip on the tab end.

---

Step Three

3. Fold along the score lines. Remove the sticky strip liner and bring the ends together to make a triangle. Set aside.

---

Step Four

4. To make the first of the roof filler strips, start with a 7” x 1” strip of Coastal Cabana card stock. On the long side, score at the 1”, 2”, 3”, 4”, 5” and 6” marks.

---

Step Five

5. Fold the strip into triangles as shown.

---

Step Six

6. Place triangle-folded strip into the roof piece.

Step Seven

7. To make the second of the roof filler strips, start with a 3” x 1” strip of Coastal Cabana card stock. On the long side, score at the 1” and 2” marks.

---

Step Eight

8. Fold along the score lines to create a triangle.

---

Step Nine

9. Place the triangle into the roof piece.

---

Step Ten

10. Pop four Hershey's kisses into the roof piece.

---

Step Eleven

11. To make the house base, start with a 6-3/8” x 1” strip of Crisp Cantaloupe card stock. On the long side, score at the 1-3/8”, 3”, 4-3/8” and 6” marks.

---

Step Twelve

12. Put a piece of sticky strip on the tab end.

---

Step Thirteen

13. Fold along the score lines. Remove the sticky strip liner and bring the ends together to make a rectangle.

---

Step Fourteen

14. To make the house base filler strips, cut a 7” x 1” strip of Crisp Cantaloupe card stock. On the long side, score at 1-3/8”, 1-7/8”, 3-¼”, 3-¾”, 5-1/8” and 5-5/8”.

---

Step Fifteen

15. Fold along the score lines as shown.

---

Step Sixteen

16. Place the strip inside the house base.

---

Step Seventeen

17. Pop three Hershey’s nuggets into the rectangular spaces.

---

Step Eighteen

18. Put two strips of sticky strip on the house base. Remove the sticky strip liner and attach the roof to the house base.

---

Step Nineteen

19. To make the front of the house, start with a 2-5/8” x 1-5/16” piece of Crisp Cantaloupe card stock. On the long side, score at the ½” and 2-1/8” marks.

---

Step Twenty

20. Leave the piece of card stock on the Simply Scored Scoring Board. Make a ¾” score mark at the 1-1/8” and 1-½” marks.

---

Step Twenty-one

21. To make the door, cut up one of the ¾” score lines and over to the other ¾” score line.

---

Step Twenty-two

22. Fold the side tabs of the house front. Insert the house front into the house frame.

---

Step Twenty-three

23. Decorate the front of the house.

---

Step Twenty-four

24. Decorate the roof with shingles. I used the ½” circle punch to create a layered shingle look. Layer the circles starting from bottom and layering to the top. A faster way to create the look of shingles would be to cut TWO 2-1/8” x 1” panels and run them through an embossing folder.

---

Step Twenty-five

25. To make a chimney, start with a 3-3/8” x 3/8” strip of card stock. On the long side, score at ¼”, 1-¼”, 1-¾”, 3-1/8”.

27. Fold along all the score lines. Remove the sticky strip liner and bring together to make a trapezoid. Also, place a piece of sticky strip on the angled end.

---

Step Twenty-eight

28. Remove the sticky strip liner and adhere to the roof.
