To make up

Sew a door and windows onto the front of the house.

Using darker pink yarn, sew some flowers either side of the door, and add a small button to make the handle.

You are now ready to sew together the front and back panels (use a semaless stitch, like this one) and to stuff it with a bit of fiberfill.

Sew a little ribbon on the tip of the roof and your little house is ready to decorate door handles or to cheer any shelf.
