Introduction: Snoopy/Woodstock/Doghouse Set! (Advanced Crochet Patterns)

Snoopy, Woodstock, and the Doghouse are all separate, so you don't have to make all 3. Snoopy and Woodstock are both crocheted amigurumi characters. The Doghouse is made out of cardboard and paper and requires no special skill except patience.
Doghouse has a flap on one side of the roof because Snoopy won't fit through the door way :P
The Snoopy pattern is based off of this pattern: http://bethsco.blogspot.com/2011/12/snoopy.html, but the Doghouse and Woodstock are mine so don't claim them as your own please. :) Let me know if you have any questions.

Step 4: Doghouse Part 1

First, you have to cut the red paper and the green paper to the right sizes.
Green: about 12" by 18" (it's for the base so size doesn't matter)

Red:
TOP: 3 1/2" x 4 1/2"
ROOF SIDE: 4 1/2" x 3"
LOWER SIDE: 4" x 2"
FRONT/BACK : 3 1/4" x 4 1/2" (cut a slight angle near the top on both: /¯\ ) ( cut a doorway in the front)

Step 5: Doghouse Part 2

Attach the front, back, and the lower sides with tape like shown. Make sure you tape on the inside.

Line the inside with cardboard, and glue it in place.

I (being a perfectionist) added red paper to each of the corners and the edge of the door so you can't see any cardboard.

Step 6: Doghouse Part 3

Glue cardboard to one of the roof pieces like shown, not going all the way to the edge.

Glue it in place on the side of the house. It's supposed to overlap the lower side and the front/back pieces.

Step 7: Doghouse Part 4

Glue cardboard to the top just like you did for the first roof piece. Then tape the other roof  piece to the cardboard like shown.

Glue the roof top to the top of the house, leaving the second roof piece unattached.

Step 8: Finished Doghouse

Glue cardboard to green paper. Glue house to green paper.
I set a dictionary on top of mine for a while until all the glue dried.

Step 9: Finished Product!
