👍 [Beginner Tips] Black trim for Cathy's Flower house

If you have the older version, you will find you have to cut and add strips for the black lines on the Greenhouse.
I am adding some pics that may be helpful.
As I stated on another post, if you own a cricut or other cutting machine, it is easier to use to cut the strips.
I then placed the strips under my ruler and used a scoring tool to score them in half. This made it easier to fold neatly.

Those black trims sure looks difficult to keep straight. Thank you for the tip.

Very helpful hint!

Thank you! I was trying to fold and thought darn why didnt I score them when cutting (because you can - love my Cricut) and remembered I could hand score…

Yes, I went from the Bake kitchen snap together to this. It was not hard to walk away from to do Henrys Chocolate shop. BUT I promised myself I could not start on Elsa’s until I finished this!
Free tostart tomorrow!

The new version helps you overcome those difficulties. However, I still like this set because it gives me a lot of experience.

Ohhh I didn’t think about that before :astonished_face: Thank you to share it

Thanks for sharing. Your build looks amazing.

Respect that you did this kit. This one is intimidating me haha

I definitely had moments and days that I had to leave it be.

Thats the best to take a break else i get frustrated and that’s the moment when things start to break

I built the older version too and had to do all those strips by hand before I got my Cricut—definitely a challenge but so worth it in the end!

Oh yeah. I get that too. It drives me insane when it breaks grrr :enraged_face:. And gluing the parts so that I can continue is annoying .

I am unsure if I would do the older version again if given choice. I am glad I have my cricut as that made a difference. I also remembered I had a quiller (I think that is what it is called)which I started to use to make some flowers but boy those tiny things were tough.

Im not sure if this will help anyone else but i personally use a square instead of a ruler. If you know how to use it, its a great tool to use :blush:
