An origami house made of paper with dimensions of 50 x 50 cm will be 25.5 cm wide and 25.5 x 25.5 cm deep. If you wish, you can enlarge or reduce your house by taking a piece of paper of a larger or smaller size, respectively. And the smaller piece of paper you take, the easier it will be for you to fold it.
Step by step instructions with photo
So, let's start making our origami house.
Step 1: Fold the Square
To demonstrate the folds, we used a small piece of paper.
Fold the paper in half horizontally so that you have a rectangle. If your paper has color on one side, make sure the colored side is on top.
Fold the paper in half again so that you have a square.
Step 2: make a closure
Open the square up to the previously made rectangle.
Wrap the left side to the middle line.
Fold the right side to the middle as well. Iron the folds with your fingers.
Step 3: Shape the Sides
Open left side and place your finger between two layers of paper. Fold the top side over and flatten it down into a triangle.
Repeat the manipulations on the right side.
Put the craft on the table and turn its sides so that the middle is straight and its sides are perpendicular to the middle and parallel to each other.
Step 4: make the roof
We decorated our house with a colorful tiled roof made from colorful scrapbooking paper. To make such a roof, cut circles of the same shape from multi-colored pieces of paper.
As a guide for the bottom row of shingles, draw a thin pencil line. Glue the circles on top of the bottom line so that they do not touch each other. To form the second and subsequent rows, place the circles in the middle of the joints of the previous circles.
In addition, you can not glue the roof, but simply draw it. To do this, draw a contour for the tile with gray pencils, and then paint it with colored felt-tip pens or paints.
If you wish, you can also draw windows and trees on the outside of the house, and interior items and doors on the inside.
Step 5: Make the Trees
To make trees, draw simple tree shapes on green paper and cut them out. Then cut out small semi-circles from green paper for coasters.
Make a cut from the base of the trees and at the top of the semicircles. After that, insert the trees into the stands in the shape of the letter X.
Step 5: Make a Modern House
To make such a house, put small succulents in pretty pots, add a rug self made and a postcard as a piece of art. We also added a small pendant in the form of a lamp, which was hung on a cotton thread.
As you can see, such an origami house provides an excellent field for creativity.
This project is perfect for when you are traveling with kids to keep them busy when they get bored. Finding paper on the road is not difficult, you can even use a newspaper or a sheet from a glossy magazine. And for making toys, just turn on your imagination and make dolls and animals from everything that is at hand: lipstick, a teaspoon, or even fingers with painted faces.
Dare, create, we wish you good luck! We hope our master class and the scheme for creating an origami paper house will come in handy more than once.

A paper house is an excellent basis for children's games and small theatrical productions: it can be used as a decoration when decorating playground or scenes.
To make an origami house, you will need a square sheet of the right color.
The scheme of work is quite simple.
First of all, we bend the sheet in half.
We get a neat rectangle, the height of which is exactly half less than the width.
We unfold the sheet and bend in half only its lower half: we simply bring the lower side to the center.
In the same way we bend the second, upper, part. The resulting rectangle is bent to the left. Carefully combine all sides.
We again got a square, but already half the size.
We unfold this square so that it takes the form of a rectangle, divided by a fold line in the middle.
Flip the rectangle upside down. We bend its two sides to the center so that they coincide with each other.
We have a square consisting of four identical squares.
One of these squares (for example, the top left one) needs to be turned into a triangle. To do this, we direct its inner edge up and to the side.
In this case, the top fold is combined with the side fold. A triangle is formed.
In the same way, we give triangular shape upper right square.
We cut through a miniature door, draw a handle on it. If desired, you can draw or cut windows.
We decorate the roof with corrugated tape or any decorative elements. We decorate the house in the style that is more suitable for our case. You can color it or paste over it with cute pictures.
Ready! We learned how to make a house that can be used as a decoration in games with paper dolls and other toys.

Step by step guide with diagram
Here detailed instructions with a description of the actions as a result of which you will be able to make a house in 3D format: 
- It is made in stages - separately the roof and the box itself. Start with a light element - the roof. We take a square sheet and bend it into 3 equal parts (we use a ruler for measurement accuracy).
- We fold these parts one by one according to the principle of an accordion, carefully iron all layers of paper.
- We bend the corners to the edges.
- We add them again, as in the diagram.
Make a paper base as shown in the template. A square sheet is taken, folded into three parts, while one of the edges is outlined in advance and folded into a narrow strip.
The side parts are folded into a box and glued. Glue is applied to the strip that we made at the beginning. 
Before we complete steps 10 and 11 and assemble the whole house, let's go back to the roof.
We unbend the corners, straighten the figure from the inside. Now we fold both corners inward and straighten the model. We connect the roof and the base. Builders can start playing.
