The house from the matches will not require almost nothing, "except the dexterity of the hands", a little diligence and several hours of free time. It will take: 6-7 boxes of matches, a button or coin (3 kopecks of Soviet times or 2 Russian rubles or 50 Kazakh tenge or any other money with a diameter of about 24 millimeters), a book or a floppy disk or a crucification from a compact disk (support for assembly).
1. Put 2 matches on a book parallel to each other at a distance of slightly less than the length of the match. sizes.
2. Place 8 matches perpendicular to the first two. Moreover, extreme matches should form a square with 2 matches of the 1st row, and between all other matches should be about the same short distance.
3. The next row is another 8 matches. Make them perpendicular to the previous 8th, too, with a short distance between them.
4. Gently make a "well" from 7 rows, placing the heads of the match in a circle.
5. From above, make a flooring from 8 matches. Put their heads to the side opposite to the heads of the bottom flooring.
6. Perpendicular to the previous row, put the following - out of 6 matches (add more extreme later). Top press the resulting construct coin.
7. Holding the coin with a finger, stuck in the corners of the house vertically matches head up. Matches must pass between the upper and lower floorings, and the edges of them are to go below. Lower floor matches can be sorted by another match or toothpick, follow only so that the house does not move from the lower matches.
8. The house fell on the legs. Love matches around the perimeter along the walls, pushing the flooring with auxiliary match or toothpick and pressing the design with a finger.
9. Squeeze the walls of the house with 4-side sides, having configured them to stick vertically matches. Remove the coin match.
10. Take a house in your hands and degress the CO of all sides.
11. Put the matches that came around the perimeter so that they pressed the heads of the floor. The resulting square from the heads of the matches is the foundation of the house. Those. What was riding has become a bottom. Putting a house on him, get a frame with the ends of matches sticking in different directions. They are needed to build the walls and roofs of the house.
12. First complete the walls. To do this, insert vertically matches by the heads of the CO of the 4-sides.
13. To save another one - now the horizontal layer of the walls is now. At the same time, matches should go in a circle, as when building a well, a heads - alternate with matches. By inserting all horizontal matches, press their heads so that they pressed the matches of the neighboring walls.
14. Now proceed to the roof. First, insert the missing matches in the corner holes and, the poverty vertical matches of the walls below, pull them up.
15. Place the roof matches perpendicular to the upper flooring, ranging from the edge and alternate direction of matches.
16. First, lay on 2, then 4, 6 and in 2-x central to 8.
17. Between sticking vertically, insert matches - "tile" heads to the middle. After that, press them in a circle heads of side matches, pressing on them with your fingers.
18. In conclusion, you can decorate the "pipe" house from 4 inserted matches, "door" and "windows" from matches, broken in half and inserted into the walls.
For this principle, you can build churches and locks of any size.
